Dorian's Parlor
Dorian's Parlor 4/28WEBS was happy to return to the Doubletree Hotel in Center City/Philadelphia, PA because Dorian's Parlor has always been a fabulous event.

This time sharing the stage with the Wandering Cellist and Eliza Rickman, and under the usual guidance of DJ Kiltboy and CircuitSix, WEBS provided their share of off-kilter and unexpected to an enthusiastic audience.

Dolly Shot gave us Nikola Tesla fangirl and her Fabulous Hobo routine.

Gretchen Violetta showed us the virtues of Italian heritage and provided a creepy-beautiful lost doll story.

Viktor Devonne was up for the highest bidder, and found himself seduced by a mysterious woman (Esmerelda May, who later paid tribute to the flames of hell) and setting sail.

Madame Jinx provided ritual, and Lamia Luxuria kept herself masked for the occasion.

Holly Ween dug up some precious surprises, and later danced to a tune that proclaimed whilst 99 problems for her still remain, any one for a bitch is in fact a fallacy.
