Paris is burning is a documentary released in 1990 by Jennie Livingston and comes forth as a poignant film that talks of patrons of the then still-burgeoning vogue ball scene.

She said she preferred to eat in the middle of the day, which seemed to help with her digestion, and only ate sparsely at night.
