Mimi Reilly’s 57 years on earth were marked, in big part, by her huge contribution to the St. Petersburg underground where she used the conduit of the Star Booty salon to straight up build a scene that made the Sunshine City a really cool place to live weirdly.
Reilly passed on Feb. 6, but her friends, fans, and family need closure, so they’re having a gigantic celebration of life featuring a whole slew of the punks and rock and rollers—including a special set from Adam Turkel and Billy Summer—who more or less saw Reilly like a den mother.
There’s no cover for The Celebration of Mignonne ‘Mimi’ Reilly happening Saturday, March 30 at The Factory in St. Petersburg.
