Although things are better now than how things were at the time this was filmed, and at the time that Ms Corey killed and mummified that person, at the time, the LGBTQ+ community wasn't protected as swiftly or as thoroughly by police as they should've been. They had a lot more self protecting to do then than now.
I love what Dorian Corey said about how you’re too busy trying to survive in a big city that you don’t have time to hate. I grew up in the closet in a small town in NC. Then moved to DC at 22. It was like day and night.
I watched this with my elderly aunt on Netflix. I was gonna change it to something else but she wanted to keep watching it. She was intrigued. May she rest in peace. ❤
This documentary does grab one’s attention. Even my younger straight brother uses the line “ you just can’t take it, you’re just an overgrown orangutan.”
Dorian’s wisdom rings true to this very day. Especially about the TV being the mom and the dad which now it’s probably Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat but it’s the same deal.
What Dorian said about reading as opposed to television I Absolutely agree. I've read every day since I was 6 and people were always so surprised that I read because I love and chose to read. If I had to choose between television and books the Books are going to win every time. Holding a actual book in my hand was like I owned a piece of the author's endeavor.
I appreciate this. I watched PIB When I was a teen and fell in love with all the lives displayed. Beautiful creatures who were ahead of their time. I rewatch PIB every few years and cherish these sweet souls and often wonder how they would have absolutely SMASHED it in our times. TY for sharing this
Wait. Venus Xtravaganza is saying the houses are not all as united as portrayed as they are in the movie. That many are evil hypocritical witches and she doesn't go to the balls as much because of that.
Just some of your friends you don’t want to speak negatively on because you have a sincere history with them even if you didn’t see eye to eye with them at some point...you just love them regardless
This really reminds me of Frantz Fanon's Wretched of the Earth. In Chapter 1, he describes dances that colonized people attend where they are spiritually possessed and dispossessed ,or become something else for a short time, over the course of the dance. And he wrote that book in the 60s.
@@kachi9293Thanks for the insight , I’d never heard that version of someone planting the body there after Dorians death , with or without her permission, but it does sound likely!! Either that or the widely perceived story of her defending herself against an assailant, romantic or otherwise!! But no way it was there when she moved there , how could she not notice the smell ??? Also , did you watch Pose , because trust if one had to move the body it could and WOULD be done !! Period 😂
Because of Dorian, I now KNOW for sure what my grandmother’s friend means when she says: “Me and Rosie B went way back. I know where the bodies are buried honey” 😉
If You Watch Dorian Corey, You'll Learn A Lot From Her About Class, Ettiquette, Dignity, Style, And How To Live, And Carry Yourself, And Remain "SAFE" Within The Lgbtqui+ Community 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
Dorian shot an abused that prob would have killed her first. I bet he was stalking her back in the day and she got him first. I don’t believe she has any choice and stuffing it in her closet was ingenious. I love her persona. What a true lady!
These BALLS where they feel like STARS. When they leave the place they all have sinsiter lives like Dorian had a dead body hidden in a truck. It was found after she had died. When they come to a ball they R stars
It started with The Running of the Queens,it was a mad dash to her place got all the drag they could .They found the body in a chest, then it made news.
We will never know what happened. What we do know is that the guy in the closet was a violent criminal. Early 90s NYC cops wouldn't believe a damn thing a black drag queen says. If I were in Dorians shoes I'd do the same thing. You robbed the wrong house tonight.
The mummy they found in her closet had been her boyfriend and had been missing for about 25 years, so he had been curled up in that suitcase since shot in the head. - there was also a bottle cap from the 60's inside the bag too. It wasn't discovered till after she died .
Yes. I saw an old video of RuPaul when he was young....he was in a rather huge apartment, with roommates, and the rent was mentioned.... about $175 a month. The place is probably a 3 million dollar condo now.
PIB was filmed in the mid to late 80's & the film wasn't finished & released till 1990. Livingston edited the final cut down to 78 minutes from over 75 hours of footage, all shot on expensive 16mm film.

She called the cops to report gunshots with a whole dead body in her closet 😂
I fell out lol'ng, shiiit Dorian probably forgot.
Drag queens are NOTORIOUSLY known for telling very TALL tales.

@@pianoman551000it's a fact
@@pianoman551000Along with EVERYONE EVERYONE EVERYONE else !! They , along with others deemed different, just get called out for it 😂
In a way, she was poetic. A genius beyond her time.
I could listen to Dorian talk all day!
Me too!
Me too
Dorian was always rummaging through that damn purse 👜 😂
One of my favourite docs. I love how they support each other despite the competition.
Unintended ASMR. Dorian could talk and do ASMR all day!! She’s great at it and she didn’t even know it

They should’ve released the unseen footage by now. They know the fans of the movie need this. I’m sure it’s a lot of it too
Yes absolutely
It’s on the criterion edition. You can buy the dvd
“Where do they get the weaaaapons?!?” Love listening to her talk.
Dorian said 30 shots fired, honey she definitely included her bullets in that number 😂😂😂
THANK YOU FOR SHARING! This truly felt like Paris Is Burning 2... Loved more of this world with these LEGENDARY DIVAS!
Jeez, even the fire engine that showed up is number 69.

Sweet souls? Clearly you have a different definition of sweet
I think about the Roy Rogers scene about once a month. It’s definitely part of my Gestalt.
Wow! thank you so much for posting this! * did ANYONE recover the video-tapes that Dorian was watching there? this is herstory! on tape! ...
And she have the nerve to talk about crimes ? 😆 ,that guy is sitting on top of the chest where the death body is at LMFAO 🤣
I recognised Luis Camacho, Madonna's Vogue Dancer @ 29:51
“Violent times, what can I tell you” 🤣
Wait. Venus Xtravaganza is saying the houses are not all as united as portrayed as they are in the movie. That many are evil hypocritical witches and she doesn't go to the balls as much because of that.
When he described the houses as shacks,and the difference in a house, the basement and the roof..I caught it😆😆😆😆
That was pure unadulterated shade. Love it😂
Great to see this years later. Love the Idle Sheets scene. That guy has the knowledge.
I am SOOO glad that I stumbled upon this gem 💎!!!
Yes this is incredible. It brings my childhood to life.
This is fire, thanks for uploading
I love what Sol had to say! And the IDLE SHEETS! Whew Chile!😂❤❤❤❤
Dorian Could've Started Her Own Clothing Line, She Waa Talented 👠👗
She did. It was called “Corey Design”.
Just some of your friends you don’t want to speak negatively on because you have a sincere history with them even if you didn’t see eye to eye with them at some point...you just love them regardless
In str8t world this is considered code. I believe it applies in gay world as well.

MS. Dorien is something else! I love it
We all.cant live on Sutton Place!!
Lmfao Dorien over talking like she don’t have a whole body stuffed in a trunk in her closet. One of my fav docs!
Lmao talking about “ where do they get the weapons “ she knew 😂
@@kachi9293 This is truly incredible. I went to the opening night of the film at the Film Forum in SoHo. Never forgot it.
Lmao!!!!
The guy behind her

That line took me out 😊
I was in the house of LaCara out of Philly. I am Billy LaCara. I never walked. My mother Alexie did. House is a part of my life.
Dorian was fabulous I hope she knew that 😊
"There's gunshots....at least thirty of em.....oh yeah I got a body in a bag in my house ..."
The IDLE SHEETS should have been included in the movie!
I totally agree, and I love the movie, but the Marcel Christian would have given it so much *more* 3-dimentional depth.
Because of Dorian, I now KNOW for sure what my grandmother’s friend means when she says: “Me and Rosie B went way back. I know where the bodies are buried honey” 😉
A poet.
Thank you
wow. Thanks for posting.
Was thr body in thr closet during the filming or was this before or after
The body was discovered in 1993. It’s speculated the body was there for 25 years.
So it was there😳
So did nobody smell a rotting body is my question
"wHere do they get the wHeapons?" 0:37
Dorian had the nerve to ask where did these people get guns lol
Dorian Corey 1937-93
And to think, there is a body in the wardrobe, whilst this is being filmed
In That Neighborhood, Her Life Was Probably In Danger, And It Was Either Her, Or The Suspect, May Both Of Them Rest In Peace, Amen 🙏
So did nobody smell a rotting body is my question
6:04 so Cardi stole Wap from Dorian lol
Wonder if that apartment had a stench with that dead body being in the closet ?

Talking about where "they" get these guns.,..when her ex had a gun shot to the head stuffed in a chest.🤔
Where did she get her gun?😂😂😂😂
Dorian shot an abused that prob would have killed her first. I bet he was stalking her back in the day and she got him first. I don’t believe she has any choice and stuffing it in her closet was ingenious. I love her persona. What a true lady!
Meanwhile she got a whole body in her closet 😂
I was thinking to myself who does the military guy look like from ballroom of today? Ricki allure.
I know Dorian’s house had a smell people just went for the clout 😂😂
This footage is all them more creepy when you watch it knowing that they are all just mere feet away from a rotting corpse the whole time. 😅
Who is that guy sitting there? He's cute Down !
The irony of it all..
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Paris is Literally BURNING right now…
Dor gorgeous woman
These BALLS where they feel like STARS. When they leave the place they all have sinsiter lives like Dorian had a dead body hidden in a truck. It was found after she had died. When they come to a ball they R stars
I wonder where the mummy was at here
Frenemies!
29:00 ❤❤❤❤❤
She gave an interesting interview, but was later exposed as a murderer .
Dorian?
@@tipitii7388 after she passed, they found a body in her closet ... been in there a Long time

It wasn't discovered till after she died .
Can only imagine the smell 😷
She had air freshner's 😅😅😅
He murdered someone and stuffed it in a trunk and left it in a closet to rot, and you all glorifying him...sad.
How on earth did these people afford to live in NYC ? They all seemed pretty low income . And they're not "mothers with kids" literally .
NYC in the 80s was dirt cheap
Yes. I saw an old video of RuPaul when he was young....he was in a rather huge apartment, with roommates, and the rent was mentioned.... about $175 a month. The place is probably a 3 million dollar condo now.
If this is 1990 why is the footage from 1950
The film maker wanted to shoot in black and white
It was shot on cheap cameras

Wow I’am surprised that this part was not aired. I guess it is boring 🥱
It creepy to watch this now knowing she/ him ☠️ a guy and put him in a suitcase in the back closet. 😬🫣
