"You own everything. Everything is yours."

There are so many great moments in Paris is Burning, this week's Hit Me With Your Best Shot subject, that it's a real struggle to narrow down what you even what to say about it. And your top ten moments -- I love the "O.P.U.L.E.N.C.E" moment more than is entirely healthy -- might not even contain anything like your choice for this series.

CATEGORY IS... BEST SHOT! But this queen isn't quite ready to "walk" and our resident Australian Glenn is having a going away thing tonight, so Best Shot must wait until tomorrow so there's still time to Netflix Instant Watch this thing and join us! Some of the legendary Best Shot Children are ready to go so the trophies are theirs. Please click over and read what these fine blogs have to say about this revelatory time capsule.

Hey Nathaniel, I'd love to join, but I'm not sure if just working for a website rather than having my own blog would count? Would you be willing to give me details about what you'd need from me if I watch Paris Is Burning?

It's hard for me to NOT choose the shot with Venus Xtravaganza smoking next to the boombox at sunset. It's iconic to me.

Lots of good ones with Dorian Corey at the makeup table though. Everyone should read up on her and what happened after her death. She was really fascinating.

Glad you held off on this, I didn't have any time at all yesterday and would've been bummed to have missed it. :)

So many good picks all around tho and so different. I had a hard time narrowing it down myself but in the end, I went with something a bit more universal.

I'm loving all the sass spilling from this post :-P

Can't wait to see the visual index tonight!
