Definitions

A category is one of the themed competitions you can walk at a ball — each with its own rules, look and judging criteria. Face judges beauty, Realness judges how convincingly you pass, Vogue judges the dance, Sex Siren judges seduction. The MC calls a category, the walkers come out, the judges score. Balls are basically a night of category after category.

“The Realness category got brutal — the judges were chopping people left and right.”
