Yes, Eddie “allegedly” had an affinity for the Dolls👀 • @uniekue this is for you😭😭 • I want to correct myself first: her name was Shalimar Seiuli. She was a transgender fashion student who was discovered in Eddie Murphy’s car during a routine traffic stop. The situation resulted in her being taken to jail, while he was allowed to leave, reportedly because he was “being a good Samaritan.” The contrast in how that encounter was handled raised countless questions but there’s something almost ironic about how the sounds of ballroom intersect with stories involving men who lived on the down-low along with men who commit Black face as those were the same forms of oppression ballroom is fleeing from. Rest in peace, Shalimar. • #herstory #ballroom #yacobknowsbest
