Epic Win Burlesque - Featuring Red Herring!

EPIC WIN Burlesque presents...The New Nerdlesque Review!

Which means, ladies and gentlemen, I am going to New York City!

No, I've never been to the Big Apple before. Yes, I'm incredibly flattered and excited to be performing there as a headliner for this show. Nelson Lugo, the hot for the night and the producer for EPIC WIN, has been an online friend and nerd-minded buddy for a while now.

I am jazzed.

Here are the details! 

In the past 3 years there has been an explosion of geeks onto the burlesque scene and it is high time that those newer talents got a chance to shine and be introduced to nerds and burlyq fans the world over. The New Nerdlesque Review is a showcase of the best and brightest of the most recent crop of pop culture devotees. The performers in this show, for the most part, have only been in the burlyq scene for a year or less and all of them lovingly embrace their very nerdy interests.

Come and hoot, holler and cheer for the newest and hottest nerds to hit the stage!

Featuring

Satira Sin - Her Devils may cry... with joy!

Moxie Kat - Warrior of Skyrim - Lover of Batman

Tawdry Owl - Rivendell elf or yellow haired Vulcan... you be the judge.

Vote for Red Herring at The Zed World's Sexiest Zombie Contest!

I'm back! And in true spirit of returning things, I'm competing in a zombie contest!

Now, it's not just any contest, it's The Zed Words' Sexiest Zombie Contest.

The photo below is my entry in the contest...

 

Makeup by Mark Boyer of 3BArtistry, Photo by Toni Wallachy of Orangeroads Photography

This shoot was a collaboration between myself and two incredibly talented people: Mark Boyer of 3BArtistry as the makeup artist and zombie pro, and Toni Wallachy of Orangeroads Photography and Pink Panther Studios, photography Mistress of awesomeness.

For the zombie concept, we wanted to stray away from the typical horror-film zombie, and didn't want to go to hard in the direction of pin-up zombies either. Historically, zombies come from voodoo traditions in the deep south, so we decided instead to go for more of a voodoo priestess zombie, a bayou ghoul, etc.

Winning this contest would be an amazing victory for Toni and Mark, as this photo would appear on the front page of The Zed Word for a full year! I, of course, would be taking part in that victory as well!

What are you waiting for? Go vote for me! I'm #8, and hoping to pull in some more votes before the contest closes on September 22nd. I promise I'll chew on your bodyparts first when the apocalypse comes!

More photos from this set will be made available upon my triumph!

Babes in Space: The Wrath of Thong

Last year was my first ever attempt at producing a burlesque show. It was an opportunity for me to learn the ropes of pulling together a group of solo performers and constructing a night of stellar entertainment. It was also equal doses of insanity and doom.

I promoted tirelessly and we did a huge push during the weekend of the geeky sci-fi slash anime slash horror slash comic slash gaming slash GAH convention Fan Expo, which is a smaller version of San Diego Comic Con (and the biggest of its kind we currently have in Canada).

The show last year was a Star Trek versus Star Wars burlesque battle, Babes in Space: The Force, The Federation, The Fornication, sold out the Rivoli. I had to turn people away at the door! Despite my headliner cancelling an hour before curtain time (who does that?!) and a host of other insanity-causing issues leading up to the show (co-producing six shows, the convention itself, random variables that come about from trying to heard cats performers) the event itself was a resounding success!

So I'm doing it again!

This year Babes in Space: The Wrath of Thong will be holding two nights (August 28th and September 1st) at Revival Nightclub in Toronto, Ontario.

I've gone bigger, and even better than last year!

Here's the trailer below, and stay tuned for performer features over the next few days!

Tickets are available online at: http://babesinspace2.eventbrite.com and I highly suggest you purchase them in advance if you plan on coming. There's an online discount (only $20! $25 at the door) and you're guaranteed a seat!

Me and some lovely ladies will be at Fan Expo again over the coming weekend, August 25-28th promoting the event. Come find us in Artists Alley 229 and pick up some tickets, pasties, and a boozey cupcake or two!


See you there!
