Hosted by Liz Goldwyn with special guest Dita Von Teese and introducing Ava Garter
Based on her HBO documentary and book, Pretty Things, the fabulous Liz Goldwyn will take us into the world of burlesque, where satire meets glamour, providing us with an in-depth look at the women, designers, and costumes of the last generation of American burlesque queens.

Following the discussion Liz and Dita will introduce one of the rising stars in neo-burlesque, their protégé, Ava Garter, who will cap the night off with an exciting performance full of grace and glamour.
