Fashion: "Bacchanalia" Steampunk fashion show
WHAT: Themed after the ancient Roman festival that honored god Bacchus, this "night of fashion and hedonism" is headlined by local neo-Victorian design trio Blasphemina's Closet, Apatico, and Scoundrelle's Keep. The show features the new spring lines by each designer, as well as performances by Kajal Belly Dance and Bjorn Ludkondukt the Snake Charmer.
