BPAL and BPTP's Denver Comic Con Exclusives For 2015

[bpalgeekgirldiva]

The following exclusives will only be available at Denver Comic Con May 23rd - 25th at our booth #560.

++ BPAL’S DENVER COMIC CON LE’s: QUEENS OF THE ROW ($26)

MADAM LOU

Inspired by Louisa “Madam Lou” Bunch, a voluptuous, wildly famous Central City madam. Madam Lou ran her house on Pine Street in the late 1800’s. When an epidemic broke out, she converted her brothel into a hospital, and she and her girls labored to nurse the community back to health.

Truly a lady loved by many: white almond-tinted musk and heady orchid with cedarwood, vanilla orchid, ylang ylang, Chinese peony, and honey.

LAURA BELLE MCDANIEL

The Queen of the Colorado City Tenderloin. A regal, intelligent, altruistic woman who possessed startling business acumen and a true charitable streak.

Sleek vetiver-limned musk with tobacco absolute, smoky vanilla, carnation, and lavender.

MATTIE SILKS

Men taken in and done for. Feisty and fearless, Mattie was the proprietress of several brothels on Brownell Street, as well as a “portable boarding house” that traveled to mining camps in the area. She governed her houses with an iron will and an ivory-handled pistol, and took care of those in need: she often provided food and shelter for those that were down on their luck.

Champagne-splashed amber with vanilla, ambergris accord, Damascus rose, white patchouli, and leather.

KATE FULTON

In the ‘80s, rival madams Mattie Silks and Katie Fulton resolved a dispute by taking up pistols against each other in a duel over their tempestuous lover, gambler and con artist Cortez Thomson. Both ladies missed each other, but a stray bullet snipped Cort in the neck. Irony or intent?

A flourish of gardenias and gunpowder.

JENNIE ROGERS

Jennie Rogers ran one of the most famous, most beautiful brothels in the area, the House of Mirrors. When the silver boom imploded, countless people were left destitute. Mining towns became deserted as people flocked to Denver in the hopes of finding gainful employment. Many women, without money or means, approached Jennie for work. She found lodging for these women in upright, respectable boarding houses, refusing to allow them to work for her or anyone else, and as her finances permitted, she gradually sent them home to their families.

A ruthless, temperamental, passionate woman cloaked in an austere, elegant, and bookish exterior: bourbon vanilla chypre and peach-gilded jasmine with may rose, tobacco leaf, and bergamot.

++ BPTP DENVER HAIR GLOSS ($30)

HOLLIDAY

The Wickedest Street in the City. The romance of vice: red musk and bourbon vanilla with blackened amber, gunsmoke, honey, and a splash of rum.

MIKADO SALOON

The Mikado Saloon and Bordello, run by Pearl “21” Thompson, was a small, intimate establishment: well-worn leather with bourbon vanilla, dark musk, and ambergris accord.

PEARL

The Soiled Dove of Cripple Creek, proprietress of the Old Homestead. An elegant, polished scent: vanilla orchid, Siamese benzoin, white fig, amber and tiare.

++ BPTP DENVER COMIC CON ATMOSPHERE SPRAYS ($25)

HOUSE OF MIRRORS

There was a bird’s-eye maple grand piano in the mirrored parlor. The piano was in the southwest corner of the room, and to the left of the fireplace as you entered. There was a tete-a tete chair, being a chair shaped like the letter S, in the middle of the room under the chandelier. This S shaped chair was covered with white velvet with big embossed red roses with green leaves. It matched the satin carpet on the floor. The woodwork on this chair, and some of the other furniture was of imitation gold. There were two big arm chairs in the room at the front; one in each corner. There was a settee in the other corner in the southeast corner of the room. This beautiful crystal chandelier hung from the middle of the room. Directly south of this parlor was the ballroom. There were mirrors about three feet wide that went from the ceiling to the floor. These mirrors were in oval frames. The frames were carved with figures of nude women. There were electric lights all around the ballroom. The five piece orchestra sat on an elevated platform. There were high-backed carved gothic styled chairs around the room. The chairs had big stuffed arms. There were ottomans on each side of the chairs. The girls were permitted to sit only on the ottomans. They were not permitted to sit on the chairs, or on the laps of the gentleman guests.

Warm vanilla dripping with golden amber, glittering with a shard of silvered glass.

THE OLD HOMESTEAD

A luxurious, glamorous bordello and gaming house famous for its high-class ladies, high-stakes gambling, extraordinary service, and powerful clientele.

Gleaming leather entwined with honeysuckle, ivory musk, and white gardenia.
