Inspiring us right now: Willi Ninja and the other limber voguers photographed by Chantal Regnault between 1989 and 1992, who are now immortalized in a new book: Voguing and House Ballroom Scene of New York. Following the success of Paris Is Burning, in which Willi Ninja features prominently (after being discovered by the director in Washington Square), he went on to choreograph videos for Malcolm McLaren's Deep in Vogue and Madonna's Vogue. He also dabbled in music and walked in a Jean Paul Gaultier show before succumbing to complications of AIDS in 2006.
