Awards Ball

For my debut as a Telfar within the Toronto Kiki Ballroom scene, I walked the Face category at the 2022 Awards Ball. The category called for Grease, one of my all-time favourite films. I took this chance to recreate the iconic Beauty School Dropout Angel headpiece, and Dezire Telfar made the dress. With the aid of my house members, we wowed the scene and I took my first Face grand prize.
