The Luna Show
The Luna Show #116 The Best of 2009
I want to thank everyone for the love and support in 2009. The Luna Show started off as a fun project but it turned into an important part of our already rich ballroom culture. The Luna Show started off because when you research ballroom history there isnt always enough information, I thought it was crazy that all people know about ballroom is Paris is Burning. The ball scene is an exciting part of our lives and we each hold a piece of its history.
The Luna Show #115 Benefit Drag Show for M.A.C AIDS Fund
The Luna Show attended the benefit drag show for MAC makeup AIDS Fund at Club Escuelita. Tiah Legacy Carrera and the Carrera Drag Family put together this event. Its amazing and very empowering to see that people know the community needs to come together to create events that benefit those in need. MAC AIDS Fund was established in 1994 which supports men, women and families affected by HIV/AIDS globally. MAC has provided over 135 million to date.

A Luna Show Special: Vogue Evolution's World AIDS Day Performance & More
The Luna Show attended a World AIDS Day event at the Broadway United Church of Christ. This year ballroom was included in the program. As we may or may not know in the ballroom scene we have lost over 600 people to AIDS since 1980. Its important to remember them and the many years we struggled with HIV in the community. Numbers of HIV is still on the raise, especially between the ages of 13-25 year olds. That age is our next generation. Please take care of one another.
