What does executive realness mean?
Executive Realness is a Realness category where you have to pass as a corporate power player — sharp suit, briefcase, the whole CEO-on-Wall-Street fantasy. The point is to embody a world that often shut queer and trans people out, and own it flawlessly. Get clocked as anything other than a boardroom boss and you get chopped.
"He won Executive Realness in a three-piece suit that looked like it cost more than the prize."
