Will You Be Crowned the New Miss Twin Peaks?
This Sunday be transported to Twin Peaks, or as the organizers behind the event say: to “a creepy logging town in rural Washington, where a beautiful naked corpse awaits discovery.” Gothamist says there will be themed cocktails (the White/Black Lodge, the Red Room, and the Leland Palmer), trivia, a screening of the best parts of season two, a cherry stem tying contest, Twin Peaks Burlesque, doughnuts, coffee, cherry pie, owls, a hidden Laura Palmer Barbie doll, and a Miss Twin Peaks pageant! Bonus: being transported to a David Lynch fantasy world will only cost you 5 bucks. Get your dance moves ready, ladies. (via Gothamist)
