Classic Halloween thrills and chills with Odelia Opium’s Corona Cabaret!

Roman Ackley for Odelia Opium Corona Cabaret by Suzanne Forbes Oct 29 2020From Odelia Opium’s “Velvet Vampires” show, the ridiculously sexy Roman Ackley doing BOB FOSSE DRACULA!!

I didn’t know I needed this until I saw it. You absolutely never know what you’ll see on a streaming show, and there are wonderful surprises. This performance utterly lifted my heart, and I hope the drawing conveys some of that feeling. Check out Mr. Ackley on Insta here and on his own site here. He does fire, circus and cabaret!

Demi Noire for Odelia Opium Corona Cabaret Suzanne Forbes Oct 28 2020Beautiful, sparkling Demi Noire gave us Devil Woman.

Always a joy to see Demi Noire, a very busy burlesque performer based in the UK. Her insta is here, and her upcoming concept at the Bridge Theater, Black Burlesque Revue (December 2020) here.

Domino Barbeau for Odelia Opium Corona Cabaret by Suzanne Forbes Oct 28 2020Domino Barbeau is also UK-based, and omg she’s awesome!

She did slinky moves, then put on her 3D glasses and ate popcorn. Her Vampira look is UNCANNY. Domino Barbeau on Insta here, her site here, and her Barbeau’s Bat Cave here.

HP Loveshaft for Pansys House of Presents October 27 2020 by Suzanne ForbesThat dapper dancer, HP Loveshaft!

Last night’s House of Presents featured an absolutely terrific performance from beloved HP Loveshaft ! I was raving about it in the twitchstream chat and got this sweet sketch. We know Berlin’s queer performers are struggling like hell at present, and HP needs a home. Please check out their gfm for urgent housing need!

Roman performed to “Spooky Scary Skeletons” and now I feel deliciously Halloween’d.

Gieza Poke at the Poke House and Pansys House of Presents Oct 31 2020 by Suzanne ForbesMaking the most of the season, Gieza Poke was Cowza Poke!

At least, that’s what I called her. She herself prefers “Gieza Good Milkin’ “!

For right now House of Presents and Gieza’s Poke House are live each week at Monster Ronsons, as well as being livestreamed on twitch for the benefit of those of us too vulnerable to go out.
