The classic tale comes to life, so to speak, as Scott, Lilith, Bethann, and the Shiprocked All Stars show off their technicolors with a tribute to the Wizard of Oz! The end of the night was a touching moment as the dancing halted for the entire club to join hands and sing Somewhere Over the Rainbow to the original soundtrack version.
Join the Shiprocked Allstars as they celebrate the day that bitch, Bethann Phetamine, was squirted out into this world. As usual it’s a dragstravaganza but on this night the energy was extra intense!
Charlotte’s Collaborative Arts Theater presents Molière’s “Tartuffe” – a play in which a pious and pompous man confidently coerces a man out of house and housewife! Performed live on The Green in uptown Charlotte, this zany production had me laughing the entire time!
Delectables by Holly catered and set up a wedding at the Mint and hired CaineDalke Photography to document the food and decor, along with a few candid shots of the staff. These are some of the best.
Join Cherry Von Bomb for her John Waters themed Shiprocked birthday bash! In the spirit of John Waters and his do whatever style, I decided to go mostly black and white for the night. Because I felt like it!
Fun in the sun with Lindsey Rourke as she gears up for the Miss Cheerwine contest. She’s showing off her class, her assets, and her ample… appetite! I can honestly say this girl fully embodies the spirit of the south and Cheerwine would be foolish not to pick this little cherry!
Deep in the heart of Charlotte, the lovely ladies of La Petite Morte are putting on the ritz while taking off the rest! But don’t be fooled, burlesque is far more than the removing of layered garments. It’s a dance of passion, rhythm, seduction, and the occasional audience participation! If you’ve not yet seen this show, and you are one who enjoys the finer things in life, you’re truly missing out on some real talent!
Aye aye aye aye! It’s Cinco de Mayo and Shiprocked is the best-a fiesta around! Drag queens, burlesque, sombreros, mexican beer specials, a piñata full of candy, and of course Señor Weaver spinning the hottest dance tunes north of the border!
