Blasphemina's Closet Presents Wonderland in Spring

Were you sufficiently wowed by Tim Burton's 3D Alice?  I can do you one better... How about spending this Friday night in a fantasy spring ball inspired by the story?
Time Out NY's most fabulous New Yorker Shien Lee, together with fashion designer Samantha Rei are collaborating to produce a magical evening of fairy tale fashion shows, aerial acts, burlesque and an avant-garde chamber rock orchestra.
Shien Lee's Dances of Vice has put on many of New York's most stylish events, including the Shipwreck Ball . Ms. Rei's collection, Blasphemina's Closet is a lovely mixture of Gothic and Lolita
pieces.
She has also recently started a menswear collection to accompany the women's line.
When was the last time you dressed up and were entertained in such grand style?  Come join me (oh yes, I'll be there) and enjoy  the "liberating effects of nonsense, beauty, and surrealism".
Enjoy performances from This Ambitious Orchestra, with special performing guests ZooG von Rock as Master of Ceremonies, Corleonis on theremin, aerial and burlesque performances by the stunning Veruca Honeyscotch and Rita MenWeep. Admire the glamor of fetish, Gothic, and Steampunk fashion shows featuring the work of Blasphemina’s Closet, Kristin Costa, I Do Declare, Apatico and Bionic Unicorn.
