of free entertainment across the whole of the weekend, on both the main
stage and around the venue.

chic designs, fantasy fashion and alternative garbs.
After the success of the Xpo Fashion Show at the
Barbican last year, Passion has asked Dangerous Dolly to once again helm
the direction and production for the catwalk. With an ever watchful eye
for detail (she is, of course, one of London’s favourite aerial
and burlesque artists, performing at many a glittering club night and
festival), plus a stunning collection of marvellous ladies to show off
some of the top lingerie and erotic fashion wear from the best in the
business, this show is sure to be a dazzling spotlight on the talent
at this year’s Passion.

"Burlesque Superstar" -David McComb for
Bizarre Magazine UK 2007
"The First Lady of Neo Burlesque"

Considering the late great Elvis Presley
has become an international institution which can communicate across
national and cultural boundaries (a bit like the language of love),
it comes as no surprise that El Vez, the self proclaimed "Mexican
Elvis", has come along.
El Vez is a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, multi-costumed revolutionary,
who reinvents American rock culture from a socialist Hispanic perspective.
When he is not touring around the globe
with his signature
stage show, El Vez is an annual host for USA burlesque competition,
Miss Exotic World; guest stars on Chaz Royal’s events in
Vancouver, Canada; and is a cast member of the acclaimed ‘Teatro
Zinzanni’ in Seattle and San Francisco.
El Vez has been kicking around the L.A. underground music scene
for nearly twenty years. Despite his use of humour, El Vez cannot
be written off as a post-modern joke.
"Elvis con Salsa"
-People Magazine
"El Vez is more than an Elvis Impersonator...
he is an Elvis translator, a goodwill ambassador
for Latin culture."
-Rolling Stone

most of you blush. She is a charismatic performer through and through.
“Chrys is sheer class. You will love her.”
-Chris Hawkins, Presenter, LBC 97.3 FM.

art and risqué reading material, then come and browse in Passion’s
artists and photographers’ gallery area. With

genre, you will find temptations including original pieces, limited
edition prints, posters, cards, books and magazines.
Chill out in the Passion café club,
where live and leading DJs will be playing ambient and funky music
during the afternoons, before taking it up a notch or two for Saturday
evening’s revelry. This is the place to meet and greet friends
and lovers, have a cheeky cocktail, or even really let your hair
down and show off your best dance routines.
This will also be home to the
renowned Sam Vangeen and her partner in crime Gary
H who will be familiar to any GayDar Radio listeners. Sam

the tables and doing what he does best – producing an awesome
soundtrack to the weekend.
Mike is a professional close up magician and mind
reader, whose early years were spent travelling throughout the
Middle and Far East learning dark and secret things from assorted
mystic types, deciphering the mysteries of the universe and attempting
to understand Man's place in the divine plan. Once that was out
of the way, he promptly returned to London (calling it the "The
Spiritual Capital of the World") and took up his current occupation.
He's basically the greatest magician who ever lived, but would
never say so himself, being a modest and well brought up sort of
chap.
Mike will be wandering the halls accosting and entertaining all
and sundry. Visit his MySpace page for more information.
