A Vintage Kickoff to BurlyCon​ 2015

Meet & Greet Magic: A Vintage Kickoff to BurlyCon

Each year, BurlyCon opens with a meet-and-greet that sets the tone for the weekend ahead. Before the classes begin and notebooks fill, we gather to dress up, show up, and celebrate together in true burlesque fashion.

What better way to launch a weekend of learning than with a little glamour? The Vintage Meet & Greet brings those vintage threads, statement looks, and a room full of artists ready to connect.

Here’s a glimpse at some of our dazzling guests from past meet-and-greets—proof that BurlyCon knows how to make an entrance!
