Hello lovelies,

The big weekend is upon us, and we cannot wait! The two elaborate parties we're planning are the only events until February, when we (hopefully) really begin to re-open the Loft. January is once again construction mode...which we don't need to tell you is a painfully expensive process. As we've said in the last few emails: the biggest help you can give us to rebirth our venue & our parties is buying tickets and inviting your friends. You can also sign up for an ongoing membership over at http://www.houseofscorpio.com/membership.html if sex-pos LGBTQ+ & allies events are your kind of thing.

Now, on to the weekend...

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

We wanted to talk about COVID and other respiratory illness safety for a moment, as New York's numbers are once again high enough for concern. We continue to take the disease seriously, hoping to make our events as safe as possible for as large of a number of people as possible. We invested in two high-capacity hospital-grade purifiers for the space permanently (Airpura UV 600, if you want to look them up), and will be running them for this weekend's as well as all other upcoming events. As we now have windows on all sides of the space, we will be able to cross-ventilate easily -- especially since our 11' ceiling height allows for a lot of air movement. Experts continue to agree that these two approaches are key to the safest indoor experiences. In addition, we encourage and support masking, and only work with fully vaccinated & boosted staff. We also cap our ticket sales at numbers that allow for a bit more room between guests than the usual packed nightlife experience.

Cheers,

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

As Gemini & Scorpio readies a fairytale winter wonderland for New Year's Eve (see below), we open our enchanted space a night early for our HoS fam: a hedonistic New Year's Eve Eve Masquerade, igniting your senses with sensual performances, pulsating beats, swirling custom visuals, sensory games and activities, impact play stations, and many kisses. A night to let go and let your senses guide your way.

Featuring jaw-dropping queer & kinky stage performances by The Midnight Foxes (Medianoche & Ivory Fox), The Bluenettes (Vonka Romanoff and Lydia Vengeance), Kita St Cyr and Aubrey Coletti. Art nouveau snowy wonderland projections by CJ. Photo capture by Team Rockstar Images.

Dress code: Slavic royalty, winter wonderland, mythical creatures, icy courtiers, dark fairytale, illustration Golden Age (Ivan Bilibin, Kay Nielsen, Edmund Dulac), Art Nouveau. Colors: white, silver, light blue, gray, shimmer & sparkle. Strict formal, lingerie or kink dress code if not in costume. Mask up for masquerade and COVID safety.

HoS rules: HoS membership is required; no PAL requirement except at or near play stations; dress code and Code of Conduct apply; no photos except in the designated front area. While we're creating a safe space for you to get cozy or sensual with your friends and loved ones, this is not an X-rated or fully nude event. Kink play welcome, BYO gear.

COVID safety: HoS requires proof of vaccination on file; masks encouraged; two hospital grade UV air purifiers will cycle the air; windows will be open for ventilation.

*House of Scorpio is a woman-owned sex-positive community creating safe space for people of all genders and sexual orientations. We embrace a thinking person's approach to sexuality, with events including book clubs and sex ed classes, and have an ongoing love affair with all things nerdy. We also engage in advocacy for women's & LGBTQIA+ issues and sex worker rights.
