September 6, 2006 -- The godfather of "voguing" has struck his final pose.
Dancer Willi Ninja, the star of the documentary "Paris is Burning" and the man who inspired Madonna's "Vogue" music video and a fad for posing, model- like, mid-dance, has died at 45, relatives said yesterday. He died Saturday of AIDS-related illnesses at New York Hospital, Queens.
"He was a great cultural influence to me and hundreds of thousands of other people," Madonna said.
I don't have to tell you all how devastated I am. Words fail me. I guess the news of Steve Irwin's passing was too much for him to bear in his weakened condition.
