Don your finest gently-used suits & ball gowns & join us for an online or in-person evening of burlesque, magic, & drag! This year's event will be a combination online & in-person event, with free viewings available at multiple venues around Lansing.

APRIL, 4TH, 2020 ✶ TIME TBD ✶ SHOW WILL BE AVAILABLE ONLINE TO THOSE WHO DONATE $5+

Céleste is once again competing to take home first place at Burlypicks, along with competing to win the brand new category, Master of Bump & Grind. In 2018 Céleste was honored by taking home Best Overall & Master of Amazement in her second-ever burlesque performance, which allowed her to attend Nationals & win Most Classic.

Though watching Burlypicks will be an online experience, due to Covid-19, Céleste encourages you to still purchase tickets as a donation towards the winner’s prize. Though the competition will no longer be held physically, videos will be loaded on MI Burlypicks official YouTube channel & you are cordially invited to join the festivities in the comfort of your own home!

HOW IT WORKS

We are asking for donations to grant you access to the YouTube link. Your donations will go towards the cash prize offered to the Best Overall Medal winner, just like your ticket purchases would during a live show. 

WHAT DO YOU GET FOR DONATING?

Our performers and producers will have exclusive content as donation incentives we will email to you depending on how much you donate.

INCENTIVES

$5 — Link to YouTube channel
$10 — Link to YouTube channel & 1 photo of the performer of your choice
$15 — YouTube link, 1 performer photo, & 1 exclusive producer photo of your choice
$20+ — YouTube link & all performer & producer photos/exclusive content

Donations can be made via PayPal to detroitbpsg@gmail.com at the link below.

In your PayPal donation in the note section, please include:
1 — The email address you wish the link to be sent to.
2 — The name of the performer or producer whose photo you want as your gift coinciding with the donation dollar amount.

CURRENT TICKET HOLDERS

Those of you that have already purchased tickets will receive the $20+ incentive package. Please MI Burlypicks at detroitbpsg@gmail.com so you may receive the link. Unfortunately, at this time, we do not have the information in regards to a refund for your tickets. That news should be announced no later than Monday. Burlypicks executive producers are the ones that handle the online ticket sales & the MI producers be hearing from them soon. In the meantime, we do suggest that you consider your ticket purchase for a donation or it could be used as a voucher for next year's competition.
