Dancehall Queens

A Dancehall Queen is a female dancer known in the dancehall[1] scene for her charisma, latest dance moves, and sexy fashion sense. The tradition originated in Jamaican dancehall parties in the ghettos, seeking the best local female dancer. Each Jamaican parish holds a local dancehall queen competition annually, the most popular being the Dancehall Queen competition in Montego Bay.

gollark: A bunch of configuration files would have to be updated to point to those.
gollark: Oh yes, the new ones just directly reify matter via universe direct memory access.
gollark: Those mostly just need to be a long tungsten rod and maybe GTech™ telemetry uplink, so a few seconds.
gollark: Yes, but they're expensive. It takes as much as *2 minutes* on some of the old GTech™ autofactories to make a replacement.
gollark: We don't deorbit entire orbital facilities, just mostly-passive projectiles.
