Hello lovelies,
We have just one big blowout event this Friday via House of Scorpio, and then it's all quiet until Dark Dance...but other producers are hosting events at our Loft, and you should totally check out the fun.
G&S events:
- Fri 7.21 - Saints & Sinners - this is a House of Scorpio event (our sex-pos queer+ sister brand), but it's so damned amazing, we couldn't resist telling you...just look at that lineup! HoS membership starts at just $5, so all you need is a friend and a good outfit, and you can join the party.
- Fri 8.18 - Dark Dance party - goth meets kink, with some very special guest DJs.
Happening at the Loft (non-G&S events):
- Thur 7.20 - Fusion dance party - an inclusive all-gender all-style partner dance, where you're not required to bring a partner.
- Sat 7.23 - Poetry Undressed: The Unveiling - burlesque meets poetry, with live music backing.
- Wed 8.3 - BARBIES! GONE! WILD! - y'all knew a bunch of these shows were coming, right? Catch the first one of the coming deluge. It promises to be a riot.
Cheers,
Gemini & Scorpio,
makers of themed costume events with live entertainment

For one night only, our sexy clubhouse becomes a full-on strip club, with a pole stage, an array of lap dance-ready seating, and our very own Champagne Room. There will be eight dancers to entertain you: each a hand-picked burlesque, pole or circus star stepping outside the boundaries of their genre to spend the whole night dancing for you on stage and in your lap.
Featuring:
- Audrey Love, Miss Hollywood Burlesque 2023
- Alaska, hell in heels
- Amanda Whip, the bendy sex kitten
- Deedee Luxe
- Gigi Holliday, Most Erotic Hollywood Burlesque 2023
- Peekaboo Pointe, fastest tassel-twirler from East to West
- Logan Laveau, hex appeal in high heels
- Lethal Kitt, fierce Puss from Hell
Don't be late: entertainment starts at 9:45pm. Once the dancers are done at 1:30am, the stage is yours to shake your booty on. Live out your strip fantasies as DJ Dirtyfinger provides the beats into the night.
Rules of the club: Tip generously (dancers & bar staff). Don't hog the rail (stage-side seating) if not actively tipping. Get lap dances: they're the best part, and only $10. Respect the dancers. Keep your hands to yourself (or your partner). Please treat our pole gently; no wild swinging.
HoS rules: HoS membership, Dress Code & PAL required; prior approval not required; Code of Conduct always applies; no photos except in the designated front area.
COVID safety: HoS requires proof of vaccination on file; masks encouraged; two hospital grade UV air purifiers will cycle the air.
*Reserved seats include: admission + seat at either a couch or a 4-person table with prime stage view + access to reserved lap dance seat. Seat choice is first-come, first-served.

Introducing “Dance at Dusk” - Brooklyn's first monthly Fusion Dance gathering (next event Thur Aug 17).
Fusion Dance is a magnificent blend of styles coming together to create a fluid improvisational partner dance. Whether you're a seasoned dancer or a newbie looking to learn how to move your feet, this style is inclusive for all because of its diverse nature. Perfect for a date night, a night out with friends or laid back weekday fun that will get you home by midnight.
We kick off each event with an introductory dance lesson focusing on some basics of the dance style, followed by a consent talk. Afterwards, let loose on the open dance floor as our talented rotating cast of DJs send us through the night. Featured DJs for the kick-off party: DJ Duo SAL-T-LEX (T-LEX and SALT QUEEN).
This event is specifically inclusive of all gender, queer and POC backgrounds, so whoever you are, dress to express yourself and dance the night away. Solo folks welcome, as traditionally dance partners will rotate through the night.
For questions and further info, contact Foxie Lou (Mxfoxielou) or Gavin (Gav.a.good.time) on IG.

Poetry Undressed: The Unveiling
Sun July 23, doors at 6:30, show at 7:30
Tickets are $25 online, $30 at the door
Gemini & Scorpio Loft, 267 Douglass St, 3rd fl (ADA accessible)

Doc Brown and Connie Lingus present the third installment of Poetry Undressed: The Unveiling...a night to reveal our authentic selves.
Poetry Undressed (@poetry_undressed) is an experimental poetry burlesque experience. One by one, burlesque dancers bring poetry readings to life with movement over a backdrop of improvised upright bass. Attendees sit together on rugs and toss flower petals at the performers, making for a truly intimate night of radical expression.
At this show, The Unveiling, we investigate the masks we wear, the barriers we create between our truest selves and everyone else. On this night, we gently, or recklessly, pull them away to reveal ourselves in all our authentic glory - and all our infinite contradiction.
Featuring performances by Maggie McMuffin, Jack Rabbit Slims, Peter Mercury, Dutch Baby, Phoenix Fucktoy, Parton Shots, & Lil’y Con Carnage. Guest poetry reading by Jane LeCroy and improvised upright bass by the spectacular Aine.
Drinks and other goodies sold at the event.
