A fantastic article/show review about the Cabaret and Patrick Scully’s recent spring show, “Not Guilty! Your honor, it’s the laws that are wrong…”
“It turns out heaven is a junk shop, a vast sweet-smelling place where God keeps all his broken things. Lost violins and Shakespeare’s not-so-great plays. Bad artists and good politicians. Busted dog collars and tangled jump ropes. Confused philosophers and chipped coffee cups. Perfect in it’s own way — broken beauty everywhere.” - Heather McElhatton
Okaaay! I’ve finally made a sufficient recovery from the VOGUE|TRASH: Costume Fashion Ball Benefit and am ready to talk about the epicness that ensued that evening. Here’s a little taste of what went down from City Pages blogger, Rebecca McDonald…
“Last month, the 2nd annual VOGUE|TRASH: Costume Fashion Ball Benefit took place at Patrick’s Cabaret. The event invited folks to take a look at fun fashions in an “off-runway” show presented dirty electro style. The evening included outlandish looks, performance art, burlesque, dance, and drag. The celebration’s antics were also recorded, and will air on MTN at a later date.
Arturo Miles, VOGUE|TRASH producer and dancer, demonstrated that costumes didn’t need to be too elaborate…just grab an over-sized trash bag and voila!
Blue Lady, who recently returned to the Twin Cities after living and working in New York, was excited to show off her costume. She will be visiting to New York again next week, but had concerns as to what her plans would be. “I am excited to return to New York for the parade, but there may not actually be a parade this year. We may join forces with the Occupy Wall Street Movement,” she said.
Puss Puss danced to Destiny’s Child’s “Bootylicious,” with packets of jelly attached to the undergarments.”

Christmas has its perks, and the Fourth of July awakens the rabid pyromaniac in all of us, but there’s no holiday I love more than Halloween. And so there’s nothing more exciting for me right now than our 2nd annual VOGUE|TRASH: Costume Fashion Ball Benefit we’ll be holding on Saturday, October 15th! Cabaret artists are sure to push the boundaries of local avant-garde fashion and performance art…leaving you wanting more! Artists will strut their stuff on our unique runway, wearing their own creations that you won’t be able to see anywhere else. This event will be aired on the Minneapolis Television Network (MTN), so be sure to wear your own costume or creation that will wow the camera! An epic dance party will follow, featuring dirty electro and house beats. In addition, local breakers and funk-stylists will be throwing down so bring your dancing shoes in order to keep up!
The evening will begin with a silent auction at 7pm. The fashion show starts at 8pm, with a dance party to follow at 10pm. General seating tickets are $10, VIP tickets are $20 which include food and the best seats in the house.
Once again, we have secured a short-term liquor license for our event…in other words, there will be beer and wine to enjoy, so remember your ID and either cash or check to enjoy spirits :)

Queer Boyz Nite, an annual evening of gay performance held at Patrick’s Cabaret, is getting a bit of a shake-up this year. Guest curator Jaime Carrera is hoping to step up the programming to include cutting-edge work that is pushing the envelope more so than in the past.
