ARVLFC News and Updates from VampireLestatFanClub.com

This is being cross posted here for our friends at Endless Night because they realize that many ARVLFC partygoers attend the Endless Night event and take pride in their costuming ablilities!

Endless Night Costume Contest Categories

Baroque/Period
Fetish/Hardcore/Steampunk (rubber, latex, pvc, apparatus)
Horror (vampire, zombie, monster, gore etc.)
Crowd Pleasers (something clever, characters, movie personas, etc.)

There will be a huge prize bag for each winner of their category and there will be a cash prize for the Best In Show of all categories!

Judges: Lady~A, Lord~J, Father Sebastiaan, Nancy Freeman

Why them?

Lady~A: Professional, published makeup artist, costume party promoter and attendee with 20 years of costume ball experience.

Lord~J: Self taught custom Costume Designer, costume party promoter and attendee with 15 years experience.

Father Sebastiaan: Because it is HIS event and he has extensive experience in the fetish/vampire/costume world.

Nancy Freeman: Professional costume designer with credentials from the Art Institute of Chicago in fashion theory, costume construction, textiles and design.


This is not a popularity contest. We will be looking closely at original designs and makeup. We look for custom design, originality, execution and passion. We are very particular and judges have to be unanimous in their decision.

Those who want to enter will be called onstage and the judges will wheedle those down to true contestants based on the criteria above. DO NOT TAKE REJECTION PERSONALLY. No prefab costumes(from a bag or a costume store) or if you look like every other vampire in the Quarter, you will not be selected.

Judges cannot enter the contest.

Our friends over at Endless Night will be reprising their party this year once again! The venue is the beloved House Of Blues they had last year which proved to be a great spot for the EN crowd. This year there will be a costume contest with four categories and a grand winner of Best In Show hosted by your very own Lady~A and Lord~J! So, BRING IT! The party theme this year is a Night in Versailles. Categories yet to be announced, and NO...it is not ALL baroque, but please feel free to revel in French Aristocracy for an evening.

Tickets for EN are on sale now at www.endlessnight.com

Go Get them!!!

We will see you there.

Lord~J and Lady~A

As most of you saw the band announcement and might be familiar with the Kinky Tuscaderos who played last year, I give you some info on a more unfamiliar band that we have this year, Saints of Ruin.

Check them out. Please do your Lady~A a favor and stick around at the Ball to hear them play! Their cover of one our favorites, Bloodletting by Concrete Blonde is pretty kick ass!

Alrighty Gang, we have some updates for you about this year’s Blood and Gold Ball! First off, it was an extremely difficult decision making process in the band selection for this year. We had more great contenders than ever before and we would like to thank every band that asked to join us for doing so; you will be kept on the list for future events!



Our musical acts for this year will include the medieval stylings of Marc Gunn. The Kinky Tuscaderos will join us again with their distinctive music that is all New Orleans. Our third act is Saints of Ruin, bringing us the Dark Gift of San Francisco sounds! We are absolutely thrilled to have all these talented people entertain this year and we promise that there are some surprises in store that you are sure to love!



Before we close this entry we have a tidbit of information for you on this year’s Wine Tasting Event! Plans are still being finalized with Jez as far as venue and menu but there is the strong scent of ABSYNTHE in the air. Come thirsty for this one!


Talk to you again very, very soon!!!


Much Love,
Your Krewe
