Snooki Hosts A Vogue Ball?

The ball scene is alive and well--and underage.

While vogue balls, the outrageous free-for-alls exposed to the public in 1990 by Paris is Burning, have been happening forever, what's surprising is seeing the size (and, damn, the enthusiasm) of these 18-and-under New York City kids.

Brooklyn Based investigated the scene bubbling up in neighborhoods like Bedford-Stuyvesant and in Lower Manhattan and encountered Snookie Lanore, a teenage host of the parties who took his name from the Jersey Shore star.

It might not be the House of Xtravaganza or Ninja, what the kids have going on is pretty impressive. Check it out below.
