This is "Pose" 2021edition. It went from '80's and '90's Manhattan lofts and apartments to literally, one big, affordable house, all under one big roof.
A "House" is a family or according to House of Avalon, a gay gang of gay men and drag queens, a family all supporting each family member, emotionally, physically caring for one another, and helping each other getting dressed and styled.
It went from sweaty, crowded underground, basement ballrooms to progressively shooting a tv commercial with queer-owned, cannabis soda, CANN Hi Boy sodas, starring with gay Olympian Ken Gusworthy, arm-wrestling in his briefs.
This is an huge leap for LGBTQ, bursting out of closet, into screens, promoting soda.
In another historical moment, House of Avalon and CANN Hi Boy sodas threw a launch for both House of Avalon documentary and Ken Gusworthy's CANN Hi Boy soda tv ad at Tramp Stamp Granny.
The first real party, out of quarantine with appetizers and plenty of CANN Hi Boy sodas.
Out of the basement, out, loud, and proud into mass consumerism.
