Dirty Looks returns with our annual festive gathering, a messy Holiday Bazaar to queer the necessary seasonal pull of late-stage capitalism. Ten vendors will deck the inner sanctum of Faultline, East Hollywood’s famed neon-strewn indoor-outdoor leather bar. A festive photo booth designed by Peppré Ann will capture that moll modness that the family back home will cherish for years to come. Frequenter of the fraternal, Tom of Finland Foundation will lend their learnings with all things Santaly. The caroling shenanigans of Tammie Brown and Trap Girl will resound with joy throughout our ears and our hearts, with confectionary recipes provided by Drew Droege as Chloe. And Aimee Goguen’s Yule Log, especially designed to crackle and pop for this special occasion will illuminate our Go-go elves, who will Jingle Bell Rock the night away.
