Heroes
MY MUM first and foremost, my family and my best friends, Sussy, Cristy and Mimi in South Florida. Also, the New Orlean's Saints, giving hope to our city that not all is lost.
The following video was created by Susan Bongiorno giving tribute to those that were involved with the animal rescue post Hurricane Katrina. I am proud to have worked alongside these heroes rescuing those that can't speak for themselves. We will never forget Camp Lucky in St. Benard Parish, NOLA.

Elise's Playground was created to offer the alternative community in Baton Rouge and New Orleans a place providing old-school industrial, alternative music accompanied with upcoming local bands and a fetish cabaret show. The goal is to sensually enhance all five senses. The event also affords the opportunity to dress uniquely in bringing out one's alter ego.
The playground was in full swing in the South when on August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina decended upon the city of New Orleans. Obviously, this disaster has caused considerable chaos and, as such, full time productions have moved to the Pittsburgh area, although shows continue to take place in New Orleans every so often. This situation has provided the opportunity to bring the playground to a new audience and we welcome the chance to share our vision.
Elise's Playground consist of contemporary themes, sharply satirical humor, and a "kinky" attitude. Although often difficult to capture the essence of the show with words alone, Elise's Playground describes itself as "female-centric underground performance art". With firm roots both in New Orleans and Pittsburgh's local scene, E.P. presents "fetish" with a more theatrical essence as evidenced in their aesthetic, as well as their choices in music.
Elise's Playground have received regular local media coverage -- PRINT appearances in the Weekly Gambit (New Orleans), City Paper (Pittsburgh) and The Cleveland Scene (Cleveland); RADIO interview/coverage on the airways of WTUL 91.5 FM, and KKND, The End, 106.7 FM in New Orleans.
Since our debut in 2003, Elise's Playground has performed in the following venues -- in Baton Rouge, The Spanish Moon; in New Orlean's, TWIROPA, Howlin' Wolf and TIPITINA's; in Pittsburgh, Mr. Small's Theater,The Rex Theater,Altar Bar and Belvedere's; In Washington, D.C., Bound; In Baltimore, the Lo Fi Social Club, and in Cleveland, Peabody's Down Under/Rockstar. Elise's Playground was also a guest peformer to the 2006 Las Vegas Fetish and Fantasy Halloween Ball at the Stardust Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. We have had special guest appearances by Gene Simmons filming a reality show and The Genitorturers. Elise's Playground is also proud to have participated in charity events to help UNICEF during the Tsunami crisis, Louisiana SPCA post Katrina, Pittsburgh's Chapter for Cystic Fibrosis, the Animal Rescue League and Pittsburgh Fallen Heroes.
We continue to thank Mistress Natasha Fiore for her ongoing loyalty in New Orleans, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Las Vegas. To Mistress Penelope in New Orleans, Pittsburgh and Las Vegas. To the various stage performers assisting our mistresses; Miss Elizabeth Couteau, Jersey, Kina, Chaos, Christen, 3-D from incubiinc.com, and Sussy. To our Stage Manager, Camillo, for taking such wonderful care of us. To our photographer: Bill Hoenk (billhoenkphotography.net) for documenting each show.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUING SUPPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
