An evening at the Khyber, featuring lacy lingerie.  

Last night was the first night of the Khyber's annual Fool Hearted Gala fundraising event. It was a good night, with performances from this year's burlesque show, wearable art show, and a number of drag kings. Adrienne and I were actually there on official business, modelling Simone's Canadian Lingerie. (read: pink lace ski masks) There was food, bands, people, and a whole lot of great art for sale, including this screenprinted gala-poster that Seth and I made.

This commemorative poloroid features a very excited me, with Burlesque stars, and former figure skating legends Fancy Kerrigan, and Tanya Hardon. (who bear a striking resemblance to Simone and Adrienne) It was the best $5 I ever spent on a polaroid

Finally, last night at the Khyber was also the opening of Tamara's (famed member of Team Willow) show in the frame gallery. The show feature two large photographs of landscape costumes embedded in landscapes, as well as around 30 tiny soft-sewn landscapes, shown actual size at the top of this post, which were free for the taking!
