Measuring their lives in love, these starving artists strive for success and acceptance while supporting each other through poverty and illness.

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. You are cordially invited to a ball like none before. Party like it’s 1775 in an extravagant night amidst gilded ornamentation, the clinks of champagne and crystal, and rococo regalia. You are most graciously encouraged to attire yourself in your most elegant and extravagant feathers, poufs adorned in jewels, silks and satins, lace corsets, and more. 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.
