Our final performer spotlight is the Diplomat of Decadence, Isabelle Epoque!

Like her namesake, she evokes the heyday of the beautiful era: azure eyes peering out over matching blue fans, a strand of pearls, and a perfume bottle Anais Nin would have considered doing jailtime to steal. If you can't tell whether it's your heart or head that's aflame, you might be under the spell of Isabelle Epoque!

Whether tearing up the town or tearing out still-beating hearts, Isabelle has thrilled East Coast audiences & seduced them with invocations of the senses since 2015. Based in Washington, D.C., she is the producer of the epic Pies ‘n’ Pasties, Iconic Cabaret, and the Philanthrotease series.

You can experience the grandeur at Exiles Bar, December 12, doors at 7:30, show at 8pm!

We are thrilled to introduce Morticia Atoms, performing for the first time with DCGS!

One evening under the light of a killing moon, a devious experiment went terribly, terribly right and the night creature about to appear before you slithered off of the slab and into her local Hot Topic. Raised deep in the foothills of Transylvania, this writer, rope artist, and cosplayer typically combines her love of horror and animation to haunt audiences' imaginations. But this time she's transforming into everyone's favorite semi-aquatic mammal to bring you something less scary and more...slippery. Is it a holiday act? Is it an act for furries? You be the judge.

You can catch Morticia Atoms t Exiles Bar, December 12, doors at 7:30, show at 8pm!
