The Imperial Masquerade 2/6/16

The Imperial Court Masquerade is just as swanky as it sounds. Masks and finery abound as the guests mingle at the historic Hamlin House in downtown Buffalo.  It’s certainly tough to compete with the fabulousness of the drag queens, but the talent is well rounded with burlesque and jazz dancers, live music, fire and aerial performers.

This year the event featured The Kingdom of Animalia as its theme, and proceeds benefited the Imperial Court of Buffalo.  B.A.D. dancers had a great time dressing up as a full menagerie: we had a two cats, a cheetah, a flamingo, a blackbird, and a unicorn.  Much thanks to Loop magazine for the great photos.
