The event, "Bodies for Christmas: An Undead Sideshow," which was produced by Pain Proof Punks founder Rusty the Clown and local burlesque artist Britni Bloodshed, featured Yuletide-themed and fetish-filled performances by drag king Gee Notorious and dancers like Femina Flower, Ramoana, Irene Silver, Kinky Kirra and Lexi Locket.
Local drag king Gee Notorious also served up a costumed performance dressed as Krampus while DJ Obzen Vanitas and local rock bands Critical Miss and El Googly Diablo offered up sets throughout the evening.

You'll never look at candle wax the same way again after attending a Pain Proof Punks show.
