is paris the city of love or the city of lights
Paris Paris is often referred to as The City of Light (La Ville Lumière),[22] both because of its leading role during the Age of Enlightenment, and more literally because Paris was one of the first European cities to adopt gas street lighting.[citation needed] In the 1860s, the boulevards and streets of Paris were illuminated by 56,000 gas lamps.[23] Since the late 19th century, Paris has also been known as Panam(e) (pronounced [panam]) in French slang.[24]
Paris Is Burning (film) Most of the film alternates between footage of balls and interviews with prominent members of the scene, including Pepper LaBeija, Dorian Corey, Angie Xtravaganza, and Willi Ninja. Many of the contestants vying for trophies are representatives of "Houses" (in the fashion-brand sense, such as "House of Chanel") that serve as intentional families, social groups, and performance teams. Houses and ball contestants who consistently won in their walks eventually earned a "legendary" status.
