Hello lovelies,

The Goldmine pop-up market was the usual fun, and now my (Miss Scorpio's) shop is fully set up in the Loft, at least through January. What I have: vintage, costume, designer & statement fashion, plus handmade shibari-inspiread wearables from Figure of A, and the best general purpose / massage / wax play scented candles I've ever found. Even if you've been before: there are some serious NEW treasures in there, including handmade latex dresses, rare archive All Saints & Diane von Furstenberg, and even vintage 90s Tripp & Lip Service. And so many fabulous coats! I will be at the Loft today 12-6ish, and then back again after Xmas weekend, so today is the last chance to snag any last minute gifts. Drop by 267 Douglass today 12-6, no appt needed, or message for another day.

We are entering the New Year's Eve stretch -- and the final months of the big construction in the new space. Currently building the walls for backstage, dressing room & kitchen! Not visible to guests, but very exciting for us :) We expect to be back with most of our usual calendar by February, can you believe it? We're also starting to accept our first rentals! If you have an event in 2023 that may need a space, reach out to loft@PROTECTED for info and a walkthrough.

For New Year's Eve weekend, we're planning two events: the big Saturday for Gemini and Scorpio, as usual, and Friday exclusively for our membership-based sex-positive LGBTQ+ community House of Scorpio. Details on all events are below. G&S' NYE currently has a couple of low income tickets left, and maybe 20 GA; HoS has plenty of tickets available, but you need a membership to access them.

By far, the biggest help you can give us in getting back on our feet is buying tickets to our events, and inviting your friends. Facebook invites and RSVPs are particularly helpful in spreading the word, though we've been so shadowbanned on Insta that any mention, interaction or post to our tags you can give us there would be hugely appreciated.

Here are the quick links:
- NYE Eve Fri 12.30: HoS The Winter Masquerade - https://www.facebook.com/events/3346655342239458 - http://www.houseofscorpio.com/events.html
- NYE Sat 12.31: G&S The Winter Fae Ball - https://www.facebook.com/events/1984463265278032 - http://www.geminiandscorpio.com/events.html

Lastly, since we are planning an elaborate winter wonderland in our Loft, we need lots and lots of help setting up. If you're comfortable wrangling random decor & snow blankets, and have time Tues-Thur next week, please reach out! Volunteers who put in at least four hours get FREE TIX to either of our New Year's parties.

Cheers,

Gemini & Scorpio,
makers of themed costume events with live entertainment
