SalonCon II
Saloncon II program cover for 9:30 show
A year after their inaugural show, the White Elephant Burlesque Society returned to SalonCon, and performed twice. One show was an intimate gathering in the late afternoon, and the second was a full hour in the evening.

From the program: Last year, members of The Home of Happiness performed a saucy little Burlesque show to open SalonCon's Masked Ball. This year, they've called in reinforcements and given themselves a brand new name: The White Elephant Burlesque Society.

Their act is longer, their skirts are shorter and theirs bosoms are laced firmly into their corsets. Join us for a brand, spanking new Burlesque show that has a whole lotta naughty fun for one and all.
