BURBANK, Calif.—This weekend at the Burbank Marriott Hotel Convention Center, the undead will rise again—along with many other fantastical life forms—for Son of Monsterpalooza, a celebration of "the art of monsters." The festivities run Friday through Sunday, and smack dab in the middle comes the Miss Dead Bikini Pageant, presented by Girls and Corpses magazine.
Among the inducements to attend the September 13 bash is the promise of sexy burlesque interpreted by Tera Patrick, as well as performances by Ivonna Cadaver and the band Pottymouth.
Hosted by Girls and Corpses "deaditor" Robert "Corpsy" Rhine, the event takes place 9 to 11 p.m. Girls aged 18-28 "with a bikini bod" are invited to participate; wear a bikini under your dress and come to the Burbank Marriott Convention Center Ballroom at 8:30 p.m. to sign up. Some lucky young ghoul will win a spread in Girls and Corpses magazine and other spine-tingling prizes. Bikini contestants, of corpse, get in free; for others, it's $10 at the door.
Pageant participants will answer a few questions about world peace, etc., and participate in some zombie skills tests while dressed as either a bikini girl-next-door type or as a bikini zombie or ghoul. For more details contact Corpsy at [email protected].
The Burbank Marriot is located at 2500 N. Hollywood Way. For more aout Son of Monsterpaloza, click here.
