Steelbooks for seasons 3 and 4 will be released soon after but details are not yet available.
In more … adult news, SuicideGirls: Blackheart Burlesque recently announced a special performance at George R.R. Martin’s Jean Cocteau Cinema in Santa Fe, NM. SuicideGirls is a geek-themed burlesque show that celebrates alternative beauty and indie culture from around the world. In honor of their host, their performance at Martin’s cinema will include a tribute number to Daenerys Targaryen.
A portion of the proceeds will go to Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary, a non-profit which rescues displaced, unwanted and un-releasable wolves, wolf-dogs and other exotic canines. SuicideGirls founder, Missy Suicide, spoke of her excitement for the event.
“We are incredibly honored and excited to perform the SuicideGirls: Blackheart Burlesque Show at George R.R. Martin’s beautiful venue,” she said. “We are such big fans of his writing and his powerful female characters. When conceiving this show we had to put a tribute number to Daenerys Targaryen as she embodies the kick ass strength we all strive for. To think that we will be performing the number in his theater, our inner fan girls are exploding with glee!”
SuicideGirls’ performance will be on November 16 at 7:00 PM. Tickets are available at blackheartburlesque.com.
That sounds incredible. I can’t wait!
Edit: Sexy Hodor?
Let’s hope Georgie isn’t going to have a heart attack because of this . Yes i know,distastetful joke and all but it’s one of those days .
Hodor!
EDIT: Missed it
Sounds…interesting
Will keep a lookout for them steelbooks
Along with GoT Monopoly
Hopefully some ASOIF Monopoly comes out at some point too, with the Fantasy artwork to go with it
Bonor?
Where’s the burlesque tribute to Stannis? Why does the female Joffrey get one?
The Flaming Stag,
The burlesque version of Stannis sits there in a neck-to-ankle dress and scolds you for wasting your money on fun.
Sue the Fury,
Ok this got me good. Thanks for the luagh Sue.
Sue the Fury,
That was good lol
You are the absolute best.
Who wouldn’t perform scantily dressed in order to meet their hero 🙂
Beautiful women half naked, endless food, and wine. Sounds like a royal event fit for King Robert! Count me in!
I bet a lot of Stan-fans would find that hawt
I’d beat, dragon girl is hella thick. George is a freak! Why am I surprised though… As for the steel books, I’ll pass. Tired of these companies, double, even triple dipping I to our pockets. When the series is over, I’ll buy the complete edition, which will probly get several editions as well
Call me an idiot, but what’s a “Steelbook”? There must a WHOLE lot of extra content for me to willingly lay down 80 bucks for a single season.
And I still don’t get the idea of burlesque. She talks about “non-traditional”-beauty, but from the pictures, I see no plus-size models. They may not have DD’s, but they’re not really untraditionally beautiful.. only that they’re wearing geeky outfits.
Depends on what said “neck-to-ankle”-dress is made off.. xD
Ser Oromis Locke,
A Blu-ray packaged in a tin = steelbook
Since I haven’t got any of the blur-rays yet .. I might consider getting one of these steelbooks.. as for watching girls stripping .. .. I think I’ll pass ..
The Suicide Girls website specializes in girls with tattoos, piercings, dyed hair, shaved heads, plus-size or otherwise. Mostly girls alternative with “alternative” style, hence non-traditional.
If I lived close enough to NM to go I would and I would bring a book and get Mr. Martin’s autograph. I was raised in Vegas, this stuff doesn’t bother me in the least. Doesn’t interest me either, but I would go for the chance to meet GRRM.
Okay, so I can get S1 for €20 ($22,31), why would I pay $57,67 more for just that? I get that it may become a collector’s item (I doubt it, it may have if it was released in 2011), but $57,67 is a whole lot of money for just a few bonus features and a tin wrapping. I’m assuming I’ll have to pay taxes on what’s stated above ánd shipping as a Dutchman. While I can get S1-4 for $94,79. which includes taxes and I have no shipping. And no tin package, but I get all available seasons.
Mr. Martin would be enthused by your visit !
Ser Oromis Locke,
On amazon it is has a 30 dollar discount. So you can get it for 50 dollars
I can see Mr. Atkinson yelling his famous “Go on Beanie” on this..
GRRM sure loves boobies
Homplomplom,
There’s a lot to love about them.
Sigh. Got all excited thinking it was actually the GoT cast performing burlesque. What? They did a faux-musical for charity!
Nodor,
This wins the comment of the day award. lol
Is it wrong that I find the burlesque Boba Fett seriously hot?
Finally, a burlesque interpretation of Hardhome and the massacre at the Fist of the First Men!
(ok…I’ll settle for Dany, as planned) I would love to see this but I understand that there will be only one Suicide Girls performance at his 128-seat theatre (with the first few rows reserved for the maester’s posse, I presume)?
