First Ever Edwardian Ball in Los Angeles
by thatbaldguy on 12 Jan 2009 at 20:00:07, under culture
You know, I’ve heard about this Edwardian Ball thing from a number of people, and I always thought, “Well, if they really wanted me to go, they’d hold it in Los Angeles. I loves me a costume ball, but San Francisco is a fair ways away, but I’ve got mouths to feed.”
As if the fine organizers of the event heard my thoughts (which is kinda creepy) I find that The Edwardian Ball is in fact coming to Los Angeles in just a few weeks!
The Edwardian Ball Los Angeles – a splendid San Francisco tradition flies south for the winter, presenting an elegant, turn of the century celebration of music, theatre, dance, circus arts, DJs, ballroom dance, fashion, technology, and of course, the art and stories of Edward Gorey. Held in the historic Tower Theater, and hosted by LA’s own big top phenomenon Cirque Berzerk in partnership with Edwardian Ball co-creators Rosin Coven and Vau de Vire Society, the night promises an unforgettable blend of audience and performance with humor, darkness, and style. Also featuring Helios Jive, DJ Xian, Jill Tracy, Miz Margo, Dark Garden Corsetry, and many special guests.
