And the Category Is…. The Rococo Rebellion
There were queens of England, there were queens of France, but they had nothing on the queens of the Majestic Ball!
The largest ball in Texas extends its reign into year five, with the annual metamorphosis serving lights-flashing, music-blasting ballroom draped in decadence, luxury, and... dare we say... scandal at the Palace de Paramount.
Featuring royal acts by drag diva Diamond Dior Davenport, the epic ball with over $5,000 in cash prizes hosted by the Icon Natalie Lepore, and special guest Shea Couleé.
