Los Angeles artist Natalia Fabia’s Miss Hooker 2008 Beauty Pageant goes down tonight! The first of its kind, the pageant will showcase the fabulous “hookers” that Fabia paints – strong, independent and fierce females who turn their tricks with charm and talent (not err, the other kind!)
Fabia’s paintings come to life as the part-burlesque performance and part-improvised event celebrates an array of talent, from yo-yoing and fantasy whistling to the art of egg frying.
A showcase of beauty, brains and brawn, Miss Hooker 2008 features nine contestants competing for the title, and the winning Hooker will be selected based on three categories: Evening Gown (gotta look good in a dress) Talent (you also have to be able to do something besides look good,) and Interview (to show off all the brains you have!)
Hosted by comedian and television personality Skyler Stone, the pageant features a panel of celebrity judges including artist Gary Baseman. Torrance Jackson of Hollywood’s Burgundy Room will be making a special musical performance of the theme song, “There She Is, Miss Hooker.” The night will include custom gowns, costumes and hand-painted backdrops created by Fabia as well as a limited edition Fabia prints and jewelry for sale to the public. Nope, this ain’t no April Fool’s joke- so make your way down to The Dragonfly in West Hollywood tonight! Details at www.nataliafabia.com. Photo by Julie Klima.
