The Latest Featured Denver Burlesque Performer: Morningstar Darkling!
It's Denver's Demonic Darkling! Welcome to the stage... Morningstar Darkling!
Morningstar has evaded the authorities for centuries while they spend their years in the underworld as the head bitch of the dark magick supply chain. Although they love residing in Hell, they occasionally make appearances on Earth disguised as a burlesque performer. I believe it’s been about 200 years since Morningstar last performed on Earth, so you all are getting the performance of the century tonight. As a dear friend to Baphomet, Morningstar is here to remind us all that gender and sexuality are idiotic man made constructs. And they simply do not have time for such human stupidity. Please put some money in the air for a performer from another time and dimension, Denver’s Demonic Little Darkling, Morningstar!
Stay up to date with Morningstar on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Find all the links to upcoming shows, classes, their art, and other ways to support on their linktree!
