Dances of Vice: Wonderland Spring Ball

I am so excited about being invited as a sponsor for the Dances of Vice Wonderland Spring Ball. I am unable to personally attend, but my jewelry will be present. I have designed pieces inspired by Alice in Wonderland and springtime in the forest.

My jewelry will be for sale at the event, and I am donating a necklace for the silent auction. Although I won't be there, you can always have a chat with Samantha Rei, whose models will be wearing my designs.

Dances of Vice impresario Shien Lee and Blasphemina’s Closet designer Samantha Rei join forces to present the highly anticipated “Wonderland in Spring Ball”!

Featuring fairy-tale fashion shows featuring the work of Blasphemina’s Closet, Kristin Costa, I Do Declare, Apatico and Bionic Unicorn.

Enjoy musical flourishes of 24-piece avant-garde chamber rock orchestra This Ambitious Orchestra, with special performing guests ZooG von Rock as Master of Ceremonies, Cor-leonis on theremin, aerial and burlesque performances by the stunning Veruca Honeyscotch and Rita MenWeep.

You can view more event info here, and even buy tickets online!
