It’s almost the end of October, and that means a scary night is upon us.
No, not Halloween. I mean the Victorian Fetish Ball, taking over the entire Diamond Cabaret at 9 p.m. Saturday.
It’s in its 12th year — and it just keeps getting wilder.
The general idea here is to come in costume and get mildly naughty as you watch bizarre acts.
Organizer Kevin Larson says some new attractions include identical twins who dance with a 12-foot python and a room where you can make cotton-candy outfits, then get tied up in Japanese rope bondage.
Words Larson uses to describe the ball: carnality, eroticism, fleshiness, lasciviousness, salaciousness, sexuality, provocativeness, sensualism, steaminess, libidinous, licentious, carnal, lubricious, wanton, libertine. So that’s what happened to my thesaurus.
“This is not a swingers event,” says Larson. “It’s just like everyone coming together for a house party.”
Not my house.
Tix for Saturday’s soiree at .
This is the end.
If you missed the Rapture on May 21, here it comes again. According to pastor Harold Camping, the world will end, again, TODAY!
On May 21, Bono was at Invesco Field — which set filmmakers/Peace Jammers Dawn Engle and her husband, Ivan Suvanieff, on a mission to make a movie titled “Jesus vs. Bono.” The 13-minute opus follows actor Brett Engle in search of Jesus in Colorado Springs and Bono at Invesco Field. The film is sort of based on “Apocalypse Now,” and you can see it free in its entirety on .
The movie asks: Who would win at arm wrestling? Well, this isn’t James Bond vs. Jason Bourne. The public believes Jesus would win, mostly. The interviews are funny indeed.
If you want some company when you watch the movie, you should head to the Voodoo Comedy Playhouse at 22nd and Larimer streets at 7 tonight. If you come dressed as Jesus, you get a free glass of wine; as Bono, a free glass of Guinness.
“We’ll celebrate the end of the world together,” Engle says. “You’re going to love this movie.”
Eats.
