Greetings,
On May 22, 2010 , the House of Blahnik (HOB) will commemorate its longevity and achievements by hosting a 10th Anniversary Ball entitled, Revolutionize 10 (R-10). This event is the culmination of 10 years of ground breaking humanitarian efforts, artistic innovation and the transformation of captivating vogue and runway productions. HOB has re-created, re-defined and re-shaped the house/ball culture, through phenomenal moments that continue to leave a mark upon ball event patrons. R10 solidifies that the HOB has just begun.
From the early beginnings, May 2000 brought together the talents of Jay, Preston and Michael Ebony with that of Hector and Jasmine Infiniti to form what has now become synonymous with the greatness and creativity that house/ballroom culture has to offer.
HOB has re-shaped the meaning of performance, bridging the gap of LGBT communities of color in a manner that has brought forth the astounding artistic talents of individuals that are acknowledged throughout the community, on and off the runway.
Through the incarnations of artistry, HOB has continuously imbued the beauty reminiscent of the early Harlem Renaissance and the budding house/ballroom culture of New York City 's 1920 movement.
HOB has reinvigorated the desire for advancing education, which had seemingly depreciated among this group, through the development of the only scholarship that target members of the house/ball community. This commitment to education, which is completely reliant on donations, has supported members of the house/ball community and has led to three LGBT people of color acquiring undergraduate degrees.
The HOB has been cited as an inspiration among numerous performers in the contemporary music and performing arts industry, health and human services providers and community leaders for enhancing the trajectory of the LGBT community.
Your commitment, through sponsorship of the R-10 event, will assist in fostering the tradition of ballroom culture, expand opportunities for educational advancement made by the HOB and continue to REVOLUTIONIZE the LGBT community.
In Gratitude,
Stephaun Blahnik

Rikki here. I'm interested in doing an assignment on the House of Blahnik. I'm a 21yr old, gay, film student, living in Atlanta. I'm currently taking a Directing a Documentary class. Are project for the quarter is to shoot a 3-5mins documentary. I think the House of Blahnik would be a great subject and help me expose people to the positive things going on within the gay community. My email is Filmrc5@gmail.com and you can find me on facebook by searching my email. If any involved is interested in helping me please contact me as soon as possible. Thank you so much Rikki.
