LOS ANGELES—Actress/activist Siouxsie Q and the Femme Domme Fatale crew bring their speakeasy-themed show to Bar Sinister this Saturday to celebrate the end of cannabis prohibition in California.
“Legalized cannabis consumption came to the Golden State this January, and yet with the bevy of new taxes and the looming threat of punitive federal repercussions, it's difficult to feel like prohibition has really ended,” bemoaned Siouxsie Q. “We want to ensure that we are amplifying the voices and businesses of people who have been disproportionately affected by the criminalization of cannabis, and continue to create more space for the LGBTQ community, women, indigenous folks, and people of color to succeed in the new California green rush.”
Femme Domme Fatale’s Bella Bathory has hosted an event at Bar Sinister since 2014 as a way to promote visibility of queer femmes in the Los Angeles BDSM scene. Every month she brings burlesque, fire, and kink performances to the stage.
“I am so excited to have the trifecta of vintage fetish glam, marijuana madness, and amazing fire performances for this show,” said Bella. “This is our second prohibition-themed show, and this time you can expect 1920s-inspired costuming and jazz music, with the addition of our favorite green friend. We will also be unveiling cocktails from Buck Angel's CBD tonic line, Pride Wellness LA, for some prohibition era drinks with a CBD twist.”
Scheduled to perform that evening are Bella Bathory, Siouxsie Q, Ash Hollywood, Michael Vegas, and Daisy Ducati. Dominatrix Mistress Maia McQueen will be hosting the event, as well as the BDSM play area on stage.
Sponsors of the event include indigenous owned and operated vape company War Party Extracts, CBD capsules from Elysium Infusions, and LGBTQ health and wellness cannabis line Pride Wellness LA. Trans advocate and adult performer Buck Angel will also be launching a new 1920s-themed CBD cocktail at the event.
The Stockroom is sponsoring prizes for the midnight costume contest hosted by legendary Kent Kalibur, and guests are encouraged to come dressed in their finest flapper gear.
Club Bar Sinister is located at 1652 N. Cherokee Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90028. This month’s edition of Femme Domme Fatale will be held on April 21, from 10 p.m.-2 a.m. Tickets will be available for purchase at the door. Facebook invite can be found here.
