A documentary capturing the Harlem "Ball" traditions that originated in the 70's, historical offshoots of the Harlem "Drag Balls" of the 20's. Because of the loss of hundreds of members of the "Ball" community due to the HIV epidemic, How Do I Look records an important aspect of its history and legacy. Focuses primarily on the icons and legends Pepper Labeija, Willi Ninja, Tracy Africa, Kevin Omni and Octavia St. Laurent, who took their talents outside the "Ball" community successfully and opened many doors for their community. Some aspects will be familiar from the documentary "Paris is Burning," as well as those know Madonna's "Vogue" video and "Truth or Dare" film.
