Internal Vanity

AFM Productions tackles misogyny, isms, self hatred and politics in a controversial production entitled Internal Vanity written by Fashion Designer Antonio Wingfield. Internal Vanity is a tale of adversity and triumph told through a new medium in storytelling called "The Fashion Opera" that uniquely combines the stage play with fashion presentation, poetry, and performance art. Rooted in the glamorous worlds of fashion and entertainment, Internal Vanity explores the politics and origins of the current standards of beauty, class, status and their impact on women and men not only living in a superficial world but those who tune in to it through TV, billboards, magazines, movies and music. With new names and new identities, three self proclaimed sisters from a small town in Northeast Texas become everything they wanted to be. The legendary Vanity Black is Queen of The Runway and has been at the top of the entertainment industry for well over two decades as the highest paid performer of all time. Her foster sister, Diana Black, of whom she is a client, is a self made billionaire and owns the world’s number one model and talent agency. Their child hood friend, Nataskia Black, is the infamous Guru of fitness, health and beauty. The 3 divas are the quintessential vision of success and perfection…Money, Fame, Power, Beauty, and a jaw dropping wardrobe to match…What more could a girl ask for? All seems like a fairy tale in a road less traveled until an old friend named Dahvil arrives to reveal the "truth?". It is there that the journey to self love and acceptance begins, as Vanity, Nataskia and the ever so narcissistic Diana Black begin the battle that just may claim their lives …or the people they love. You will never look in the mirror the same again!
