WEIMAR VIVANT!
“And now we come to the most lurid Underworld of all cities –
that of post-war Berlin. Ever since the declaration of peace,
Berlin found its outlet in the wildest dissipation imaginable.
The German is gross in his immorality – he likes his Halb-Welt
or underworld pleasures to be devoid of any culture or refinement.
He enjoys obscenity in a form which even the Parisian would not tolerate.”
Netley Lucas – Ladies of The Underworld, 1927
Please join us on Sunday, January 29th for the latest installment of Vintage Vivant:
Vintage Vivant presents: Hot Girls of Weimar Berlin!
Our tribute to one of the most subversive and decadent eras,
that hotbed of depravity and dark passions that sprang up in
from the ashes of WWI and reveled wildly until it all perished
like Sodom and Gomorrah in March of 1933. Let’s revisit this
dirty little window of time, and pretend for one night that there
are no rules, no taboos, and no regrets! Indulge in your wildest
fantasies in our red-light district nightclub: Do you wish to dominate
or be dominated? Perhaps our boot-girls will whip you for all to see!
Mr Pustra + Joe Black of “Villains – The Show”
All expressions of gender are welcomed: Berlin was famous for being
far ahead of its time, with “hot sisters” and “wild boys” frolicking until
dawn in legendary queer cabarets and gay and lesbian social clubs.
Mistress Stephanie & Her Melodic Cat
will be channelling the ghost of Anita Berber
+ Bertolt Brecht – and just for your pleasure,
have put together a very special set, including
some of our favorite songs originally made
notorious by Lotte Lenya and Marlene Dietrich.
Leave your troubles outside! Life is disappointing? Forget it!
Wilkommen, bienvenue, welcome, im cabaret, au cabaret, to cabaret!
Titillations and naughty Weimar Burlesque from:
The Kit-Kat Cabaret Dancers,
Hipnaughtica
and
Miss Kitty
Hot girls provided (for your delectation) by
Coco Coquette and Charm School Vintage.
Divine decadence darling!
Outside it is windy, but inside it is so hot, every night we have
ze battle to keep the girls from taking off all their clothing.
So don’t go away, who knows? Tonight we may lose the battle!
Blue Angel Nights, dahlink…
My Lili of the lamplight,
My own Lili Marlene.
Out of the silent space,
Out of the depths of the earth,
Lifts me as in a dream
Your beloved mouth.
When the nocturnal mists swirl,
I will be standing by the lamppost,
As before, Lili Marleen.
“As best we can uncover, Josephine Baker performed in Berlin several times in the mid-to-late Twenties,
very much naked and very much the avant garde symbol of jazz music, exotic blackness, and proto-feminist mystery.”
We think her outfit here is very enticing – the perfect androgynous ensemble for an evening out on the town, eh?
Here at Weimar Vivant, anything (and everything) goes!
Weimar Berlin was also famous for getting many of its patrons hooked!
Beware! Drugs are bad, mmmkay?
Make sure you don’t get too carried away, though!
No matter what our girls might tell you, it’s just not a good idea.
Or, you get end up like this! Heels over keester without your knickers, and all bloody to boot! Oh dear heavens.
DJ Shorty Stump will be spinning the hits of the German Cabaret!
Prepare to be immortalized by Devaki Knowles in her fabulous Fun Loving Photobooth!
