FRUITEA is an OTA Kiki function where members of the community walk and battle for Grand prizes. OTA stands for “open to all” meaning anyone can walk any category regardless of gender identity or expression, and none of our categories have an effect.
People will walk and get 10s from our judges before battling it out for the Grand Prize. Categories include Face, Vogue Femme, Runway, Old Way, Sex Siren, Best Outfit and more!
If you're planning on walking, do your research on the different categories beforehand. If you're coming to spectate and have fun, then bring your energy and vibe and get ready to be blown away!
Follow us on IG @bristolballroomcommunity and @fruitea_ota to learn more!
Please keep an awareness that this is a priority space for queer and trans/gender non-confirming Black and people of colour - respect the floor and the walkers.

]]>This is the truth. When she chews gum, it’s not clear which one of her personas does it. Since their first release in 2013, describing them separately is grunt work as they switch places, cosplay each other and would most likely lull you into a lonesome dream.

]]>The St. Louis-born musicians grew up steeped in the sleek catharsis of golden-age EDM. The duo’s third album SISTER, out September 12th via True Panther/Dirty Hit, is an exhilarating return to those first sounds that moved them, echoing with the reverence and refinement of two formidable artists crafting exactly what they want to hear. But it’s also a striking portrait of Frost Children’s singular creative partnership: as bandmates, as roommates, as symbiotic savants practicing the art of what Angel calls “twin telepathy.” Boldly revitalizing and revolutionizing a too- often-devalued subgenre, Frost Children have delivered their most forthright and full-bodied identity statement yet.

]]>MISSIO is an American alternative electronic duo from Austin, Texas.
They fearlessly break the rules as they fuse elements of rock, electronic, indie, and hip-hop into an unmatched and uncompromising hybrid. They tie seemingly disparate threads together with honest and heartfelt lyrics meant to both provoke and inspire.

They stand as a monument to accidental success and a testimony to the idea of 'failing up.' By not taking its career seriously, the band has accomplished more than many of its uptight 'destine to make it' peers. Following a mid-80s blueprint of moving to LA to be sucked into the fast life, Drug Church has left its Albany origins in the rear view. Now experiencing the inability to make rent on a whole new level, the band is producing its best material to date.
