The Wicked Labyrinth Poster |
Press Release: This will be our most interesting show yet! Friday night will bring the Burlesque performances you ache to see and on Saturday, we launch ourselves straight into the Labyrinth. We have a suite in the heart of it all and we are opening our doors and our hearts to you. Any more would just be indecent and heavens knows we strive to avoid that...
Come, enter our world. For one night only, we will open the door to our private chambers and invite you in. There will be music, laughter, dance, art, massage, and, of course, ironing. We've also decided to make some mischief and create a modest scavenger hunt. Don't miss this opportunity to spend an evening with the White Elephant Burlesque Society while you wander the Labyrinth!
Other Wicked Labyrinth Guests were: rock band NaNuchKa, professional dominatrix Lady Arielle, the Come Again Players performing The Rocky Horror Picture Show, erotic hypnotist Aaron Glotfelter, and several others.

Labyrinth's Tagline: "One large hotel. A vastly unique gathering of the unconventional. Part Renessaince Faire, Part Con, Part Festival, Part Something Else Entirely."
Commentary"Many thanks to you all for performing, it was one of the highlights of the weekend for me. I only caught part of the show, but the three acts I did see- the sexy ballerina ["Gravity"], the sleazy couple seducing the naive lass ["Script Language"] and the vampy jazz dancer [Lamia Luxuria] were all magnificent."

darkteddybear, via Wicked Faire's LJ"I wanted to write a quick email to commend the entire White Elephant Burlesque troupe (or at least the ones of you that I saw) for your performance at Wicked Labyrinth. It was very entertaining. You utilize excellent musical choices to accentuate the mood and atmosphere you are attempting. A special accolade for Anyanka (or that was how she was billed in the leaflet) who shown particularly bright. Also, for you [Viktor] for your amusing MC'ing. Though the entire cast provided an enjoyable performance."
-- Steven, guest at the Friday show at Wicked Labyrinth 2007
Trivia- A bonus dance party followed, with "Mishto!" by Gogol Bordello, and as a surpise, "Girlfriend" by Avril Lavigne
- WEBS also appeared after the show in a hotel suite where guests could come in and hang out, meet, greet, play games, even experience a back massage or tarot reading.
