Toxic Goddess Burlesque to Headline the Ghouls Gone Wild After-Party at the
IAO Gallery

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA, September 23, 2008 – Toxic Goddess
Burlesque will headline the official after-party for the Gazette's 2nd Annual
Ghouls Gone Wild Parade on Saturday, October 25th at the Individual Artists of
Oklahoma Gallery. The show will begin at 10pm following the Ghouls Gone Wild
Parade where the new Queen of Halloween, April 'Elvira' Wahlin, is the Grand
Marshall and the Toxic Goddesses will be her court. In addition to the Toxic
Goddess Burlesque Show there will be a full bar, DJ Ostara will supply the
beats, and more fun, including photos with the Toxic Goddesses and book signings
until 2 am.

The burlesque show features the lovely and wicked Toxic
Goddesses performing classic striptease and circus side-show acts with their
unique and edgy style. Toxic Goddess Selkie says, "Toxic Goddess Burlesque is a
variety show. Sure, you'll have some good ol' tassel-twirlin' striptease fun,
but we also have a vocalist, a straitjacket escape artist, an experienced
belly dancer, and some other goodies tucked in as well. I can't tell you ALL the
surprises… it is Halloween, after all!"

Halloween costumes are
encouraged. Attendees must be 18 and older. The IAO Gallery is located at 811
North Broadway on Historic Automobile Alley, in Downtown Oklahoma City. Pre-Sale
tickets for the Toxic Goddess Burlesque Ghouls Gone Wild Official After-Party
are available through OKCTickets.com for $12 prior to the event or $15 at the
door. Organizers expect this event to sell out so advance tickets are suggested.

Darkfaery Subculture Magazine @ Soonercon
 
Hey, Everyone! Well, it’s spring/summer 2008 and you know that means! Events, contests, and shows! 
  This year Darkfaery Subculture/Darkspace is pleased to announce we will attending Soonercon ‘08 in a professional fashion. That’s right! After being in the hospital for most of last year I am back to work on hundreds of new projects and attending events is number one on my list. (Doing some of my own shows is second!)
If you are attending Soonercon, please come over to us and give a shout, it’s been a year or two since we were out with video and I have missed you guys. VNV Nation doesn’t really count since I was still sick and couldn’t socialize.
   We’ll be taking photos and video so you guys who are always asking when we’ll be updating our gallery with fan photos and event photos now is your chance to get in them. There will be lots of events to choose from at Soonercon so if you are trying to nail us down look for us in costume at Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Masquerade Ball, Sinnercon Dance, and probably most of the kinky events, like the kinky meet-and-greet, complete with a performance by Wicked Harem Belly Dance from Tulsa. Plans include a workshop series on the ethics and etiquette of convention (not conventional) sex, frank discussions of alternative life/lovestyles, and erotic art how-to’s. Z wanted me to remind you we can be found at the gaming tables too.
If you can’t attend, don’t worry, I’ll post info on how you can watch our videos on cable, MySpace, and YouTube. If you do come out, don’t be afraid of the camera, it won’t be afraid of you!

About Soonercon
http://www.soonercon.info/

SoonerCon is a fan run multi-genre convention held annually in Oklahoma City.

If you’ve been around the Oklahoma City area for a while, the name may sound familiar. Here’s why. There used to be a club in Oklahoma City called STAR OKC. Like most fans, they wanted a convention. After putting on a few one-shot types in the late 1970s and early 1980s, these folks, mostly high-school age through just out of college youngsters, decided to get organized, work hard to raise some money, and try to get something started. SoonerCon 1 happened twenty one years ago, in June of 1986. The con was begun and ramrodded by the Chair of SoonerCon 1, Mike Hodge. What he and many other helpers achieved lasted through SoonerCon 13 in 1997. Lots of artist and writer guests, from Tim Powers and Gene Wolfe to Brad Foster and Robin Bailey, were welcomed to Oklahoma City. During those years SoonerCon had hundreds of staff and helpers, and up until the last few years SoonerCon was “owned” by STAR OKC.

With SoonerCon’s exclusive emphasis on traditional SF/fantasy books and art, making it a “lit con,” a move arose as well for a local charity “media con” emphasizing genre TV/film, comics, gaming and pop culture actors, designers, and other guests–especially from Star Trek. Thus was born ThunderCon, which debuted in June 2001, balancing SoonerCon’s November setting, and lasted through seven annual editions and often with staff and helpers working both. The new con operated with a non-profit board and involved all the local fan clubs interested, from Dr. Who, Babylon 5 and Trek’s Starfleet chapters to gaming, modelbuilding, real space and even Dark Shadows! With “BoomerCon” judged a little too cute for a sister event, this project was named in honor of both Oklahoma’s spring weather, its Indian heritage and the state’s heroic 45th Infantry Division, the Thunderbirds—and so ThunderCon was born, its logo even adapted from the 45th’s patch. ThunderCon was created and first run by another member of STAR OKC named Larry Nemecek, who with his wife Janet later moved to Hollywood to work on STAR TREK for Paramount. Yea, fanboys! A few other conventions have also taken place in the OKC area, but haven’t “taken root” for more than a year.

Local Spotlight: Dirk Hooper

DFSM: Hello, Dirk, it’s been awhile since I had time to get an update with you, so what has been going on?

Dirk Hooper: There’s been a lot going on lately. Toxic Goddess is taking off. We only started a few months ago and we already have over 5200 photos on the site! We’re already looking into expanding into other fields (not ready to make those announcements yet, but believe me… it’s big)!

We’re currently making a big push to find and cultivate new models for the Toxic Goddess site. It’s tough to find the right women, because not only do they have to have the looks and attitude, they also have to be creative, motivated, good at promotion and close enough that Robert Henry, Jennifer Marks and I can work with them regularly. But the potential rewards, for the right women, is great!

I can make the announcement that we’re also looking for an apprentice makeup artist to help with shoots and we’re ALWAYS looking for unique places to shoot (heck, we’re looking for almost any place to shoot).

Personally, I’ve had a good year as a fine artist. I had work at the Dirty Show in Detroit, got three pieces in the IAO’s Biting the Apple exhibit and recently had a month long group show in Dallas. Earlier this year my work was acquired by the Kinsey Institute, based at Indiana University, for their permanent collection, which is both exciting and a great honor. My work will now be preserved and studied by future generations.

DFSM: Do you have any events or shows coming up in the next few months?

Dirk Hooper: Again, we’re looking into some big things with appearances next year, but I’ll give you an exclusive… I’ve been invited as a guest artist to a fetish show in Belgium next March!

DFSM: How many Toxic Goddesses are there now? I see lots of new faces.

Dirk Hooper: We currently have eight Toxic Goddesses (one that will debut in November), but we are making a big push to bring some new models on board, and we are very close to ascending several new Goddesses.
