The Fashionistas is a fucking fantastic four-hour porn video from Evil Angel, produced and directed by John Stagliano. It won a dozen AVN Awards and is still one of the industry’s best-selling films. And it IS a film. With a plot and dialogue and all. And now it’s also a stage production.
And while the porn industry has more consumers than most mainstream news outlets care to accurately report, Stagliano isn't counting on name recognition for the show's success. "I believe the show could stand on its own," for people who have never heard of the movie, he says. The show has only a few lines of dialogue, relying instead on rear-screen video and "the feeling of the songs" used in the soundtrack. The many mediums combine to tell the movie's story: "The Fashionistas is a story about a young girl in the fashion business who is desperately trying to succeed professionally. She is enraptured by a famous male designer and the story follows her creative attempts to seduce him. There is a love triangle between her, her career-driven female boss, and the male designer," Stagliano explains.  As in the movie, there will be spectacularly sexy fashion shows: "There are two fashion shows presented in the context of the story. One is a normal high fashion show, with some wild designs and some more practical but sexy designs. Later there is a fetish fashion show, where extraordinary fetish clothes of all kinds will be shown," Stagliano says. He goes on to explain, "I will not do any of the hard S&M ideas, like in the film, only fetish fashion stylized stuff." Bummer! But safer for John Q. Public, we suppose.The Fashionistas is an erotically charged dance revue with a loose story line. The cast of 19 dancers features two performers from Los Angeles and 17 from Las Vegas. The costumes were designed by José Luis Vinas. And the music used in the show is from Lords of Acid, The Crystal Method, Tool and other progressive bands. The Fashionistas will be performing weekly, Mondays through Saturdays, at Krave, the newly opened club in The Aladdin's Desert Passage. The club is being positioned as an "alternative lifestyles" destination, which is what Vegas is all about!

John Stagliano has realized "the dream of a lifetime" by bringing Fashionistas to the stage as a musical revue on the Vegas strip. "Back in 1983 when I produced my first porn video, I was a professional dancer, and what I really wanted to do was make enough money shooting porn so I could produce a dance show that used dance to tell a story, kind of like a musical, but with no singing, and no dialogue. Well, I never felt ready to do that kind of show until now," he says.
