Hello lovelies,
Two membership-not-required offerings from our sister brand House of Scorpio:
- Flirting party this Friday! Or really it's two flirting parties in one, including a flirting class on the F4F side of the venue. Online dating sucks these days. Come flirt in person. Both singles and dating non-singles welcome, and we have room for all orientations.
- Next Friday, it's the monthly goth dance party. A darkly delicious good time, and discount tix are live until this Friday.
Cheers,
Gemini & Scorpio,
makers of themed costume events with live entertainment

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/GNC/NB folks 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.
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. 9-10pm: 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 9-10pm 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.
