HOSTS: Vallery Dolls got her start working the backrooms of biker bars from Memphis to Mobile. After headlining the Southern Burlesque circuit and burying no fewer than three rich husbands, fate led her to Kansas City. During a short stint in a cut-rate rehab clinic, she was cured of an incessant craving for elderly philanthropists by learning how to suck quarters out of vending machines to earn her living. Years passed before she resurfaced in Topeka causing quite a stir hosting amateur drag pageants and often being protested by the Rev. Fred Phelps himself. While dancing in a gravel parking lot wearing three inch heels, Vallery had a vision of a better life in the far away city of Chicago. The very next day she hijacked an 18-wheeler loaded with toys for sick orphans and made straight for the windy city. She now appears regularly behind the Trader Joe's on Lincoln and Grace, and is currently living with that lady who begs for change outside the 7-11 in Boystown. Please help welcome Vallery to Horriball. This show counts towards her community service hours.

Izzie Vorrealz was born Rachael Isabella Rothstein in the great state of New Jersey. At age 7 her family moved to New York City to help fulfill her mother's dreams of her becoming a child star and making the family the toast of Trenton. Changing her name to Izzie Farnbloom (after a great aunt) Izzie was an instant smash success as the adorable Junkett Custard Girl and was on her way to major stardom. But a battle with heroin addiction left her a broken little girl at St Marks Rehab. As it turns out she was actually the youngest girl ever admitted to St Marks and that brought her back into the limelight where she was the poster child for the "Mommy Didn't Love Me So I Do Heroin" campaign. Which was short lived. After rehab, Lizzie dropped out of high school, married a French Emissary and was not heard of for ten years. Until she was found looting a 7-11 on Broadway in Chicago by Vallery Dolls who convinced her to join her on stage for the HORRI-BALL, marking her triumphant return to mediocre stardom and most likely more heroin. She thanks her mother for always pushing her.

ENTERTAINMENT:
The Dust Bunnies combine hope and cheer to the sad truth of doom and gloom through kiwi-inspired minimalist pop. Also, no stranger to cartoon garage bands of the 60s and 70s, the Dust Bunnies are full of catchy hooks and 3-chord/2-minute rock and roll hits. Songwriter Paul Nixon was also a creative force in mathy rock outfit Black Apple (Whistler Records) and leads Chicago's only punk rock choir, the Blue Ribbon Glee Club. CrystAl Hartford joined the Dust Bunnies after being discovered at her debut show singing with the all supermodel band, The Xylenes. Jaimie McCutcheon has an accent. Enjoy the rest of your day(s).

Lady JACK, a Chicago Burlesque artist featured on the the cover of an up coming issue of TIMEOUT Magazine, specializes in sexy characters that tell a story while they peel off layers. www.myspace.com/lindseydance
