Hello lovelies,

A last minute invite to two things happening at our Loft tonight and tomorrow, and reminder to reserve by tonight for your discount to DDD next week!

- Tonight! Fri 4.18 - FemFlirt + MeetMarket ($0-20 / discount for HoS members) - It's two flirting parties in one! Half the room is dedicated to a safe and encouraging space for F4F & NB flirting, with bonus flirting class by Vonka, and half the room is for all-gender flirting. The bar is a no-cruising social safe space: just friendly chat. Singles and dating non-singles of all genders and orientations welcome. Let's flirt!

- Tomorrow! Sat 4.29 - Burning Man Community Forum & Afterparty (FREE) + festival season clothing sale first peek - A daytime community forum with visiting Burning Man org leaders, followed by a pizza afterparty. Meanwhile, Miss Scorpio has been stocking up amazing all-gender all-sizes finds for spring and festival season, and this will be your chance for first dibs! (And yes, the racks are also open tonight for the flirting party, if you want to beat the crowds -- plus you can set up your own shopping appts for almost any day of the week, just reply here.)

- Next Fri 4.25 - Dark DecaDance ($0-20 / discount for HoS members) - a classic goth dance party in a queer-forward space, with light kink play welcome. $5 off admission if you reserve by EOD tonight!

Cheers,

Gemini & Scorpio,

For those of you who always ask how to meet potential partners and play PALs, finally: two flirting parties in one. We'll divide our large space in two, and run the events simultaneously.

On the dance floor & stage - FemFlirt: fem & non-binary mixer & makeout party. In the lounge - MeetMarket: pansexual flirting party. In the bar - a neutral zone for everyone to take a break from flirting. Save it for your chosen half of the room (or if you're lucky enough, both halves).

***

For femmes & NB folks: FemFlirt

It's been a common refrain that it's harder for women to flirt with each other, as they frequently can't tell how much flirting may be ok, who's straight and who's open, and whether a connection they may be feeling is a friendly one or one with potential chemistry to explore. And, when cis & hetero presenting, they are sometimes made to feel too straight for gay spaces, and invisible or too queer in mixed environments. The same frequently holds for GNC/NB folks, too.

This event is a small step towards diminishing pan, queer and gay femme/NB invisibility, enabling and encouraging those folks to connect romantically and physically to others like them, wherever they fall on the gender presentation spectrum.

8-9pm: bonus Flirting for Femmes class with Vonka, which includes practical exercises -- a great way to meet everyone in the room you may want to flirt with later. 9-11pm: social games and icebreakers. As the night progresses, we go from mixer to makeouts, with Spin The Bottle and other sexy games.

Who can attend: self-identifying women and GNC/NB humans who want to connect with other women and GNC/NB humans.

***

For everyone: MeetMarket

We put our "no cruising" rule on hold and encourage all guests to shamelessly hit on each other. An all-gender, all-orientation flirting party to help you find a partner (or two) to cozy up with in the colder months. Our PAL rule is on hold as well: come alone or bring a stranger. Wondering where to meet up with your new app match? Bring them here. Invite all your single friends. Tell your mom.

Social games 9-11pm to help you connect with other guests.

Who can attend: all humans who might want to flirt with and go on dates with new humans. Singles to the front, though of course we're a poly space, and dating couples are welcome as well.

***

Dress code: dress in whatever makes you feel sexy. We won't enforce the dress code as strictly as at Lip Service, but we respectfully ask for no casual attire. You're coming to flirt!

*HoS rules: HoS membership required; dress code, PAL or 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.
