𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗔𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗟 𝟮𝟱 - 𝟲 𝗽𝗺 - 𝗟𝗲 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝟭𝟮𝟮𝟬 𝗥𝘂𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲-𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗘 Setting the tone for the night… We’re thrilled to welcome back the incredible 𝗗𝗝 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗞𝗙𝗖 @mcherry909 , who’s worked with Bizarre Kin since the very beginning. Father of the House of KFC and one of Montreal’s most distinctive kiki ballroom DJs, Cherry KFC is known for his eclectic approach to sound. Born and raised in Argentina, he blends percussion-rich influences from his roots with the energy of ballroom music. Beyond the scene, you’ll find him behind the decks across the city, seamlessly mixing Latin and electronic genres. On the mic — 𝗞𝗶𝗸𝗶 𝗜𝗰𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝘄𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗼 @mrmapleleaf (TO). A foundational figure in the Canadian ballroom scene and commentated at our very first Bizarre Ball, Twysted is a driving force in Canadian ballroom. A founding member of the House of Monroe, he also helped establish the Toronto Kiki Ballroom Alliance. He created CBC Arts’ CBX: Ballroom Extravaganza, spotlighting queer and trans filmmakers and ballroom talent. Beyond the scene, he works with the Kiki Kids Team at Freedom School Toronto, supporting Black liberation for youth. Step into the forest!

ENCHANTED FOREST is another Bizarre Ball, the function where we ask you to bring elements of Bizarre into every category. Be imaginative, strange, and unforgettable! Have you never walked a ball before? Don’t be afraid! Beginners are welcome, this is your moment. Step into the forest and take the runway. To support you, this post includes full category descriptions and serves as a lookbook: a visual guide to what each category is asking for, meant to inspire your interpretation. Use the lookbook as a tool if you need it, let it spark something if it moves you. But most importantly, bring your own imagination to life. WHAT THE JUDGES ARE LOOKING FOR AT A BIZARRE BALL: Participants should dress according to the category in which they are competing and are expected to deliver what the description calls for (costumes, effects, appearance, and attitude). To get your 10s, you must show the basic elements of said category, the effect, and anything else asked for in the description. If you do not meet the category requirements, it’s a chop! Like any ball, effects *can* be simple. But the more your effect is extravagant, and the more your walk brings what is being asked for, the more you will GAG the judges… and bring the ball to life! Are you worried? Don’t be! There are many ways to capture what is being asked for: colours, textures, sizes, shapes, and movement. The internet is your friend! A glue gun is your friend! And speaking of friends… don’t be afraid to ask for help. ________________________________________ Link to category descriptions and all event info (where to get tickets, prize amounts, etc), can be found in our bio.

The next Bizarre Ball, brought to you by Bizarre Kin 👾👽✨️ More details TBA For now, save the date!... April 25, 2026

Bulabog! Bizarre Kiki Ball presents BIZARRE SPOTLIGHT featuring interviews from Bizarre walkers from all over the world⚠️ THE LEGENDARY BIZARRE, MOOHK (CANADA) • When did you first walk the category Bizarre? The first ball I walked was in 2017 called In Deep, Montreal! • Why did you first walk Bizarre? I walked Bizarre because it called to me. I’m a freak through and through so when I learned about the Bizarre category, I knew I was made for it! • Any other Bizarre walker that you look up to? I look up to all Bizarre walkers. I truly do! I look up to our pioneers so much and I love how Maurice is still walking! Right now, though, I would say I mostly look up to Nene Madness. He’s so talented, and has a heart of gold. I’m also such a fan of Klaude right now too, she’s such a wizard!! • What do you think is the importance of Bizarre in modern ballroom culture? I think Bizarre is so important in keeping the imagination alive in ballroom! Ballroom is an underground scene, and I think Bizarre is one aspect that could only ever be at the fringes of culture because it’s so wild & weird. • What would be your advice to someone who would be walking Bizarre for the first time? Embrace all the wonderful weirdness that they are! It takes a lot of bravery to walk any category, so you should feel proud of yourself for putting yourself out there! #bizarre #ballroom #ballroomcultureph
