The dynamic minds behind Les Girls and YYC Bad Boys have collaborated once again to host an event to end Calgary’s 2013 edition of Pride Week with a bang! Fused 2 is the official wrap up party for Pride in Calgary, set to occur at Commonwealth Bar & Stage.

Fused 2 is a rich mixture of everyone’s favourite party affairs and this night will include: Shejays and DJs from across Canada and the USA, stunning ladies of Burlesque Burn, Go Go dancers, drag performances by April Storm and an Erotica Fashion Show.

Les Girls is proud to announce the Fashion Show as their first Fused presented Fundraiser. This fundraiser, happening during the Fused event, will benefit non-profit organizations including Camp fYrefly and the SHARP Foundation.  The goal is to raise $1,500 for each of the two organizations, an opportunity for Pride partygoers to give back.

Festivities will commence Sunday, September 1st at 6pm, kicked off by the Fused Erotica Fashion show, with the fabulous sounds of Bass Caravan serving as a soundtrack. Bass Caravan is known for their infectious charisma and unique sound that blends Gypsy Funk, Carnival Breaks and Swinging Bass that enthralls and entertains crowds of all-ages.

At the head of the fashion show, is manager Marie Ferraro. Marie is a fierce redhead with a bold resume: a graduate of Fashion School at Blanche MacDonald Center for Applied Design in Vancouver, B.C., who has traveled the world to gather inspiration from Australia, Mexico and Japan. Marie has put down roots in Calgary and is steadily building a name for herself as a top contender and graduate of Event Management. Marie’s keen eye for fashion, street style and glamour craze make her a great fit for the Les Girls Fashion show, and will make this a show to remember.

The lineup of world renowned DJs and performers for Fused promises to draw in huge crowds.  DJ Tatiana, official Billboard music DJ and chart panelist will be traveling from Denver, Colorado specifically for this event. DJ Fierce Tease, who is a rising star on the dance media circuit, will be delivering a signature style of groove to the Alberta crowd. The fabulous beat-queen, Lisa Delux from Vancouver, and Calgary’s own electronic goddess MollyFi, as well as Foureyes, Sargent and Comrade, DJ Goldstar, DJ Eric and one of the fastest rising DJs in Western Canada, none other than Michelle.C., will all be spinning tracks to keep the dance floor pumping.

Drag performances include some of Calgary’s top queens: April Storm, Farrah Moan, Sierra Teigan, Argintina and Selma Body.

Amanda Priolo, of Les Girls couldn’t be more excited.

"The idea of Fused is such that the event promoters can come together and celebrate together, hence the name ‘fused’. We wrap up the Pride weekend with everyone from the community under one roof. Rather than divide the community, we have brought them together to celebrate. That is the history and the initial thought of Fused.  Going forward our plan is to keep the event growing and launch into a bigger venue and grow even more support for the community. Les Girls is proud to sponsor the main stage and entertainment for Pride Festival."

Last year, Fused sold out weeks before the event so be sure to purchase tickets in advance. Advance general admission is $30.00, and tickets can be purchased at Grassroots Hemp and Dick and Jane’s. Tickets are also available online at www.zoobis.com.
