Jami Deadly
I take great pleasure in announcing that Jami Deadly will be guesting and helping to MC at portions of the October MMC/Spooky on the 23rd and 24th.
Jami is a very versatile addition to the guest roster, as I'm sure you can tell. Along with hosting her own horror show in the heart of Texas. She also makes appearances as a very convincing, almost erie, impersonation of Marilyn Monroe.
Jami has offered to help out during the various convention segments during the convention and I think The Spooky might've just found its first poster girl. She'll also be performing an ADULTS ONLY burlesque performance on Saturday evening. She has websites here:
