The Pain Proof Punks — a Phoenix-based burlesque and sideshow troupe with “a taste for the strange, peculiar and bizarre” — put a kinky twist on the Christmas season during their holiday show on Saturday at Pub Rock Live in Scottsdale.

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.

All that burlesque artist Irene Silver wanted for Christmas was a bed of nails.
