What is wrong with you, Pedro?
Are you going through it?
You're going through some kind of psychological change in your life?
She went back to be a man.
Oh, you went back to being a man.
Touch this skin, darling.
Touch this skin, honey.
Touch all of this skin.
Okay?
You just can't take it.
You're just an overgrown orangutan.
You get in a smart crack, and everyone laughs and kee-kees because you found a flaw and exaggerated it... then you've got a good read going.
I am a person just like you.
You cut me, I bleed the same way you do.
I bleed the same color.
If it's happening between the gay world and the straight world,
It's more of an insult, a vicious slur-fight.
See, see?
There go my sister right there.
She don't even want to even admit that she my sister.
She a bulldagger.
[ Laughter ]
But it's how they develop a sense of how to read.
That's my husband right there.
And that's my girlfriend right there.
They may call you a faggot or a drag queen.
You find something to call them.
But then when you are all of the same thing, then you have to go to the fine point.
In other words, if I'm a black queen and you're a black queen, we can't call each other black queens 'cause we're both black queens.
That's not a read.
That's just a fact.
So then we talk about your ridiculous shape.
Your fa... saggy face.
Your tacky clothes.
Let me see what you are...
spreading lies!
Let's see.
Oh!
No paint!
Yes, it's paint!
It's paint!
No mother[Bleep] paint, girl!
What?
She wears more makeup than my mother did!
Then reading became a developed form where it became shade.
Shade is "I don't tell you you're ugly, but I don't have to tell you because you know you're ugly."
And that's shade.

Voguing is the same thing as, like, taking two knives and cutting each other up, but through a dance form.
Emcee:

Vogue.
Dip.
Go...
Turn...
It...
Out.
Ninja:
Voguing came from shade because it was a dance that two people did because they didn't like each other.
Instead of fighting, you would dance it out on the dance floor.
And whoever did the better moves was throwing the best shade, basically.
Emcee:
No touching.
Neither one of you.
If you touch, I'm chopping you.
I'm telling you right now.
Ninja:
You could take the pantomime form of the vogue... this is what, generally, sometimes I do is I make my hand into a form like a compact or a makeup kit.
And I'm, like, beating my face with blush, shadows, or whatever, to the music.
Then, usually, I'll turn the compact around to face that person... meaning, like, almost like my hand is a mirror... for them to get a look.
Then I'll start doing their face, because what they have on their face right now needs a dramatic makeup job.
So voguing's like a safe form of throwing shade.
Emcee:

Dupree.
Work.
Paris...

Whoo!
All right, miss...
Don't knock Paris.

Come on, baby, take your time.
Bring it to the judges.
Judges, get into the form and the style.
Work.
Let's hear it for her.
