My Best Dress

The title “My Best Dress” is interpreted in two divergent yet related directions: the attire one would wear out to a club, or alternatively, to a funeral. In this context, the music video represents both a celebration of youth culture, particularly with finding acceptance, expression and love within queer youth ball culture, and conversely, the inherent dangers associated with the reckless, uninformed and unprepared dark-side of underground culture. Music by MURR, featuring Rosina.
