Jamie Kiffel-Alcheh and Larisa Fuchs, better known as Miss Gemini and Miss Scorpio, know how to throw parties. Throughout the year they put together unique, themed events in unusual locations, and they’ve got another crazy one planned for New Year’s Eve. “The contraband has been ordered, authorities paid off, and performers lined up for a New Year’s Eve speakeasy ball in a historic former church with soaring ceilings and wraparound balcony,” they explain on their website. “Expect the intimacy of a daring cabaret mixed with the intrigue of a vintage costumed ball, expansiveness of a warehouse dance party, excitement of live brass, a splash of fine cocktails, and just a dash of illicit adventure and unpredictable moments.” The party will feature the Dixieland steamboat soul of Roosevelt Dime, the circus-gypsy parlor-jazz of the Drunkard’s Wife, the saucy dance moves of Zahra Hashemian, the vintage visuals of Sebastian Patane Masuelli, and the awesome aerial stunts of Marisa Maffia and Dana Abrassart as well as music, dance, burlesque, magic, and numerology from Spiff Wiegand, Renata and Irina Kom, Kinetic Architecture, Crooked Disco DJs, Painteresse Elysabeth, Marcy Currier, Katelan Foisy, and others, hosted by GD Falksen. The dress code is “depression glamour, evening ball on the Titanic, hobo formal, desperation derring-do,” ensuring what should be a very different kind of New Year’s Eve spectacular.
