All proceeds raised at this event will go towards post-production expenses for the completion of the documentary Leather Queen ( Leather Queen Doc ).

Leather Queen is a story about choosing your own adventure. This documentary focuses on Tamale as she runs for the title of International Ms Leather, a competition that takes place in San Francisco. Every year, women come from all over to compete for the title and to serve as the spokeswoman for the leather community in her title year. The film will not only follow Tamale as she prepares for and runs for the title, but also explore the leather and BDSM communities as Tamale tries to find her place within them.

Hello fellow local supporter of the arts,
If you haven’t heard about the situation involving THE NINETEEN HUNDRED AND ONE Gallery & Theatre, I am re-posting a partial message from Genivre’ Vine, one of the founders/producers of the 1901 below….

“Hello, all! Sad and bad news. Friday, a few hours before “A Little Piece of Heaven” premiered at The 1901 (our very first theatrical play), an Investigator from the City of Chicago came in and said that our business and public performance credentials were not up to snuff and that we could no longer hold performances at The 1901, until they were. Upon further conversation it was also made clear to me that it may not be possible for us to get the proper credentials. Besides the obvious reasons for being sad about this, I’m very hurt because he told me that “things like this are never brought to our attention unless somebody calls us and tells us about it. It’s usually a competitor or somebody who has it in for you.”
The 1901 Damsels, performers, friends,& fans want make sure this unique art and performance space can stay alive. While they are figuring out zoning/permit/licensing issues, we want to find a way to help them pay their rent so they do not lose their space.And me, well, I go way out of my way to make sure that nobody has “it” in for me. So, as it stands, our predicament is that we need to find ways to continue to pay our rent, and legal and licensure fees without holding shows (because we cannot legally charge money for anything)…………………” Regards, Vine”

Ties & Tassels will hold a burlesque and variety show where we will take donations for the 1901. There will also be shot specials & a ton of donated raffle prizes !!! 100% of all collected for the evening will go toward paying the rent for the 1901 Gallery.
