Independent Journalism in Denver Needs You
We need to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
The Exotica Erotica Ball brings fire spinners, body paint and a “dungeon of desire” to its two-city double feature this weekend. The adult-themed and costume-required masquerade party, described by event curator Steve Wallis as looking like a “hybrid between burlesque and strippers,” has been showcased in Boulder for more than fifteen years and will make its debut in Denver this year. “We doubled ourselves at last year’s Exotica Erotica, so we’re ready to expand into Denver,” Wallis says.
Guests can expect performances from Boulder Burlesque and the Bustop Strip Club, as well as two live DJs, fantasy costume contests and circus stuntmen.
The ball kicks off at 9 p.m. tonight at Shine, 2027 13th Street, and the party continues in Denver tomorrow at the same time at the Mercury Cafe, 2199 California Street. Tickets, which can be purchased at exoticaball.com, are $20 for one night and $35 for a two-night package.
Fri., Oct. 24, 9 p.m.-2 a.m., 2014
