Magical Creatures Are Everywhere, All You Have To Do Is Look

Athens is home to all kinds of artisans, not just musicians, and we love any opportunity to work on projects that showcase the amazing talent within our community. This show, the Magical Creature Cabaret, was one such show, shining a spotlight on the wonderful world of burlesque, belly dance, drag, and more!

 
Within Hotel Indigo’s Rialto Room intimate setting, attendees gathered from all walks of life to enjoy a swanky adult night of fun and entertainment. The presenters, Belli Dance Company, did an amazing job of organizing the show and providing everyone with a unique and unforgettable experience with performances by:

 
🌟 Zizi Foxx
🌟 Carley Elizabeth
🌟 Lisa Beth
🌟 Geoff Newell
🌟 Tangled Bodies
🌟 Jackie N Hyde
🌟 Violet Honeybottom
🌟 Crystal Hamilton
🌟 Ethie Reel
🌟 Batsy Sinclair
🌟 Hayley Brown
🌟 Glynis Prawns
🌟 Vianca Champagne

Bacardi Creepy Crawlers – Halloween Bar Crawl

Events /
If Monster Mash Fashion Bash and Wild Rumpus weren’t enough party for you, Bacardi sponsored the Creepy Crawlers Costume Bar Crawl on Halloween, Monday, October 31, 2022.
 
Despite the event being on a Monday after such a big weekend, there was still a great turnout of folks who wanted to celebrate Halloween on the actual day. There were some awesome costumes, great drink specials, and with the weather turning to a super foggy night, it proved to be the perfect, spooky Halloween evening.
 
The crawl included four bars on the route:
Paloma Park
Woodford
The Silver Dollar
Boar’s Head Lounge
 
Once the crawl had made it’s way to the last destination, the event ended in a costume contest with this couple being the winners! Congrats!
 
 
Were you part of the crawl? Couldn’t make it but wanted to see what you missed? Check out the video recap here.
 
Here are a few pics from the night! View the entire gallery here.

Wild Rumpus 2022 Recap

Events, Festivals, Live Music /
Were you at the Wild Rumpus? We were!
 
This year’s rumpus was insane y’all! If you didn’t come out for the festivities, you really missed out. The rumpus is more than just a Halloween parade, it’s a true spectacle and an awesome chance to peep all the creativity on display. All I have to say is… the costumes though! 🤯 But costumes were just part of the killer night! I mean, who can pass up a massive dance party in the streets, with fire and aerial performances? Thank you DJ Mahogany & DJ Reindeer Games for the killer sets and keeping us dancing!
 

Beats to Get Your Rumpus On

We’re you marching in the parade? Or were you posted on the sidelines watching? Either way, you may not have known all the artists at the music hot spots along the parade route. Check out the artists providing tunes along the rumpus route!
 

Party on, Athens

Once the parade and main festivities were over, next on the list was the after party of course! Kicking off the after party at Paloma Park was a killer set by Free Ride, followed by The Nightshade Family, which kept tunes coming well into the early morning sets by:
 
Izzy
Karezza
Dado
D:RC
 

Thank You, Rumpus

All in all, it was an awesome night and a great way to celebrate Halloween! Thank you to Wild Rumpus, Timi and Aubrey Entertainment for having us out to help capture the evening and for the opportunity to provide visuals for the after party! We had a blast and look for to rumpus-ing again next year.

Monster Mash Fashion Bash – In Review

Events, Fashion Show, Live Music /

As some of you know, we did this lil’ old thing called the Monster Mash Fashion Bash this past weekend (Friday, October 28, 2022)!

Now, some folks were out of town for the Georgia/Florida game, but we still had an amazing crowd and a killer show! In fact, we are more than grateful that we had the turn out we did considering there were literally a million different events/shows going on at the same time that night. In addition to all the amazing folks that came out and supported this event, we were super stoked to have such great weather – a gamble, at best, when throwing outdoor events in late October in Georgia.
 

If You Weren’t There…

Well, all I can say is you missed a hell of a show. The designers showed out with killer pieces. The models murdered the runway with all sorts of confidence, sass, and attitude. Our performers brought the fire and created a vibe like none other. And let’s not forget about the off-the-chain crazy costume contest! But, don’t take my word for it. Check out the video recaps from the show to see for yourself on our YouTube Channel! We’ll be updating this post and our website with links to view the four separate walks.
 

Designer Shout-out

Model Shout-out

However, we also have folks who just want to be part of the event and volunteered! We appreciate everyone that came out and walked in the show!

Walk #1 – Niño Brown and Kxng Blanco
