Toronto Kiki Ballroom Alliance
The Iconic House of Pink Lady
EST. 2010
With Ballroom being on the move in the states, it gave the founders of our Kiki scene a reason to make their own impressions in the Major Ballroom scene in New York City. In 2009, Mike Ebony reached out to then Twysted 007 (on his way to becoming Father PinkLady) to co-pioneer the Kiki scene in Canada.
With the blessing of the current Overall Father Mike Pinklady, Twysted became Overall GodFather Father PinkLady. Hard to understand, yes we know. And in 2010 the International Iconic KiKi House of PinkLady was opened. The house of PinkLady over the timeline of the TKBA, has been the foundation of most houses opened or closed today.
​
Reaching her 10th birthday in 2020 she, the house is still standing. The status of Mother was given to Vixen PinkLady, then passed onto Venus PinkLady and in 2014, the title and status of Mother was passed down to SlimThick Monroe PinkLady.
Spring 2016 Mother SlimThick PinkLady made a Herstory decision to run the house of Pinklady under two women Mothers, rather than the traditional “mother and father” titles given to Butch Queens.. In 2019 to present Mother SlimThick PinkLady became the first woman to run a Kiki house on her own
Being a PINKLADY means leading by recognizing and rewarding the potential in you and others. It means giving people the grace and opportunity to be themselves and let them shine at what they do.
​
Pinklady is the house of growth.This means being ready to go into a scenario as the underdog, being underestimated and your abilities constantly being questioned. Proving the masses wrong and coming out on top.
​
Even if your confidence isn’t at a high or it’s peak, through the deep rooted family aspect the house has, you discover that Pinklady may see it for you, in regards to your potential, but you mainly need to see it for yourself.
​
When you build the confidence you need, you can go to any “extreme” that you desire. Being a Pink means saying and doing it (ballroom) with your chest. No regrets will be had as a Pink.
​
To be a pink is to be unapologetically yourself and never let anyone tell you that you can’t make it, powerful and bold. We have family all over the world. We're a house that isn't afraid to step out of the box. We don't take nothing from no one.
Pinklady is a safe-haven. You are able to be comfortable in your skin without judgement. The house offers major guidance on the floor and outside the boundaries of the ballroom. We offer family, love, acceptance and support. A space and a sound board. When the world doesn’t believe in you, pinks will! I am my brotha’s/sistah’s keeper.
