Uncategorized “Always Sexy, Never Dirty” Says Performer.
Saturday, September 4, as the clock hits midnight, The Dragon*Con Cabaret will be hitting the stage to entice and thrill the late night fans at Dragon*Con. The lovely ladies of the current burlesque revival are part of a wonderful performance that celebrates femininity, sexuality, and showmanship. In the meantime they are also preserving an art form from the early 2oth century by treating it with both respectfully and frivolously.
Producing the DragonCon Cabaret again is Stormy Knight, an accomplished burlesque performer, makeup artist, bellydancer, and all around artist. Every year she hand-picks the performers for this vintage-style show and boy does she have a show in store for you this year! From LA comes the sensuous Scarlett Letter, from Boston hails the tempting Honey Suckle Duvet, from Charlotte, NC comes the nationally celebrated Big Mamma’s House of Burlesque and Charlotte’s own Sexiest Woman Big Mamma D and from our own Atlanta, GA comes amazing hoop action by Rebecca DeShon plus many more!
While this activity is adult in nature and intended for mature audiences, it is not obscene. As one performer described it, “The DragonCon Cabaret is going to be sexy–and a lot of fun–but it’s never dirty.” The Dragon*Con Cabaret is a type of old fashion entertainment with some really fine performers and comedians to knock your socks off. It is a night of elaborate costumes and performing personas. Each of the girls of the cabaret will be telling a unique story with their dance. You will find the respect for the craft in the attention to detail and professionalism of the performers. You will find the frivolity in the playful and sexy routines they have crafted.

Guests,
Interviews Why Can’t I Get the Interview I Requested?
The requests for interviews have been exploding as we all get ready for Dragon*Con.
We know many of you have not been able to secure interviews that you requested. We want you to know the overall status of the interviews:
- We have over two hundred preregistered media. Many of you sent multiple requests in the same email. The math indicates we are working through a lot of requests.
- Many requests were overly optimistic, such as small web-based media requesting interviews with Stan Lee or Larry Hagman.
- We support a wide range of media from college press through the most trusted names in news
- Not all requests will carry the same weight
- Some agents have requested that we only pass through requests from major media. These would be established websites, broadcast, and print outlets with significant following. The stars in this case tend to be Star Trek related.
- Some agents have let us know that that no further interview requests will be accepted. These would be primarily stars associated with the Stargate Franchise.
- Other agents have been flooded with requests and are going through as quickly as they can, though we would anticipate that major media would have the best shot.
- We did not have the thoroughness of information for many of the literary guests as we have for WOF guests.
