Geeky Kink Event (November 4-6, 2011)
Geeky Kink Event
Promotional flier from GKE
White Elephant performed twice for the inaugural Geeky Kink Event, a hybrid of Wicked Events and a more straight-forward fetish/kink atmosphere. There were demos, a place space, multimedia seminars, and burlesque for the eyes.

Our first set was formatted after a video-game with our hero (Viktor Devonne) facing against challenges that lead to the opening of a locked chest. He falls into an L.A. Noir setup (Lamia Luxuria), and places out of World of Warcraft land (Gretchen Violetta), Prince of Persia (Esmerelda May), Zelda (Femme Fae la Butche), a 1-on-1 fight game (Holly Ween), and finally Dance Dance Revolution (Dolly Shot). Viktor succeeds in opening the chest, and finds the ultimate prize: a fabulous wardrobe.
