Hey there, members of the Broken Spine Family! Hold onto your fabulous hats because we’ve got some exciting news for you. The legendary House of Suarez Vogue Ball is making a dazzling return with “The Ball of Conspiracies” for Autumn 2023. This promises to be a night of glitter, glamour, and queer culture that you absolutely won’t want to miss.

Double the Fun: One Ball Isn’t Enough!
The House of Suarez is known for delivering show-stopping Vogue Balls, and they’re back with a vengeance. Fresh from the Euro Ball that took place on the eve of the Eurovision Song Contest final in Liverpool, they’ve decided that one Ball simply isn’t enough. So, they’re inviting you to join them for “The Ball of Conspiracies,” set to take place at their regular stomping ground, the enchanting Invisible Wind Factory.
Conspiracies, Glitter, and Vogue
Now, let’s talk about the theme of the night. Have you ever wondered if the moon landing was faked, if aliens touched down at Roswell, or if Avril Lavigne has a secret twin named Melissa? Well, maybe not, but for this one magical night, we’re going all-in on the glitter, shaking our hips, and indulging in some fabulous make-believe. The Vogue Ball is your passport to a whimsical journey through the wildest conspiracy theories found on the internet, complete with mind-blowing outfits and jaw-dropping performances.
Host Extraordinaire
Leading us through this enigmatic odyssey is none other than the iconic Ricki Beadle-Blair. Get ready to be captivated as our exceptionally talented artists dazzle us with their interpretations of the most outlandish conspiracies out there.
Darren Suarez Speaks
Darren Suarez, the visionary founder of the House of Suarez, shares his excitement: “The House of Suarez is thrilled to present ‘The Ball of Conspiracies.’ In recent years, we’ve witnessed an explosion of thoughts and conspiracies on social media, from the Loch Ness Monster to flat Earthers and beyond. We’re diving into it all, and our runway will be a spectacle of the absurd. After my own TikTok journey, I’m both exhilarated and a bit terrified about the wealth of material the Vogue Ball can unravel with a massive bow.”
Don’t Miss Out
You can bet your glittery stilettos that tickets will sell out faster than you can say “conspiracy theory.” So, don’t delay – secure yours early and join the real illuminati for an unforgettable evening!
