Definitions

A realness category built around the banjee look: rough, hood, hyper-masculine street presentation. Judges aren't grading whether you're glamorous, they're grading whether you read as a real tough guy off the block, no clocking, no slipping. Featured in Paris Is Burning, where the whole game of realness is passing so completely that nobody would question you. Banjee realness is that, aimed at convincing street masculinity.
“She walked banjee realness so hard the judges forgot she was a femme queen offstage.”
