A Fund Raiser of Nerdtastic Proportions
Help us bring a Klingon speaking living legend of Burlesque to Norwescon

Since 2015, Norwescon has been bringing you nerdilicious burlesque to your Friday night convention going experience with burlesque talent from the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Each year we have ramped things up a notch taking things nerdvana and back and 2017 is no different. This year we have an opportunity to bring a nerdstantial and nerdpressive living legend of burlesque to Norwescon! Pillow has been performing burlesque since the 70’s, enjoyed science fiction and fantasy since before that, and is no stranger to fandom attending conventions such as BayCon and even organizing or two in her home state of Alaska. And she’s fluent in Klingon. We want to bring her to Norwescon!

On Thursday March 2nd, at the Rendezvous Jewelbox Theatre we’re throwing a show with the goal of bringing Pillow to Norwescon! Hosted by Lilith Van Dyke with nerdilicous burlesque by Whisper De Corvo, Mercy Stackhouse, Miss Violet DeVille, Tawdry Quirks, Taryn Luce, and a very special guest. We even have a silent auction for baked goods donated by the cast from of Pillow Talk (Nerdy To Me).

 

About Pillow
Pillow began her burlesque career in 1976 in the standard sort of go-go clubs that featured bikini and lingerie clad or topless dancers. She soon developed her performances into “theme” turns, featuring elaborate costumes and choreography that she used to create a viable character she enacted during the dance. As the years went by, she became a legendary figure for her artistic and high-energy performances. By the time she won Miss Exotic World in 1995 Pillow had been combining elements of classic striptease with a unique modern twist for nearly two decades while simultaneously becoming a champion bodybuilder. Pillow hung up her pasties and G-string in 2000. In 2016, with the help of VivaVoom Brr-Lesque, she hit the stage once more and hasn’t stopped since.
