Snake Oil Festival presents Hoochie Coochie Babylon
For the second day of Snake Oil Festival we are proud to present our night of glamour, glitter, and gluttony, Hoochie Coochie Babylon! Join us as we feast our senses on the excesses of burlesque and sideshow carnival sin! Hoochie Coochie Babylon will feature sword swallowing, snake dancing, the human blockhead, glass walking, the bed of nails, aerial arts, gender bending, belly dancing, and of course decadent striptease. The night will be headlined by Marlo Marquise of Albuquerque, NM and Karolina Lux of Portland, OR. Known as Le Chic Freak and The Risk in Risque', Marlo Marquise is an internationally acclaimed sideshow, cabaret, suspension and impalement artist who mixes olde school sideshow stunts with classic burlesque glamour and femininity. Karolina Lux is a multi-talented and internationally touring belly dancer, musician, burlesque dancer and creator of a style of dance known as Belly-Brass, where "trumpet-playing and belly dancing find an unexpected but harmonious union". Leading the evenings Bacchanal of extravagant burlesque and variety will be New Orleans undisputed Queen of Drag, and our Mister S of Ceremonies, Vinsantos DeFonte. And, before Hoochie Coochie Babylon begins, come early at 7:00p.m. to hear acclaimed sideshow historian, James Taylor weave the tale of Half as Old as Time (A Lecture on Novelty & Variety Entertainment History), against the backdrop of his cabinet of curiosities and oddities collection.
