Hello lovelies,

New Year's Eve is tomorrow! We made a last-minute decision to open our amazing space to our community as your secret clubhouse; see below.

Here's the shortlist for NYE and House of Scorpio events for January 2026 (scroll down for full invites):

- Tomorrow! Wed 12.31 - The Secret NYE ($0-75, party open to all / afterparty for approved members only) - Full invite below, but here's the lowdown on tickets: 1) we're going for "friends and family" vibe with VERY limited capacity, but we'll also allow some door sales 2) dinner add-on is only available until EOD today, ideally by 4pm when I'm going to check sales while shopping at NetCost 3) afterparty is a maybe: checking those sales by EOD also. We want a minimum of tickets reserved we haven’t hit yet, so that it’s a nice vibe for everyone, and if we don't see that, we'll refund any existing sales and stick to makeouts and dancing, wrapping it up by 1:30am.

- This Fri 1.2 - Taste The Rainbow: HoS community social ($0-10, open to all) - 2026 is hitting day after tomorrow, which means the first Fri of the month is THIS WEEK! Wake yourself up from your post-NYE stupor and join us :P As you guys might have noticed, G&S has gotten away from huge events, but the safe-space community-building we've been doing for HoS has honestly meant *everything* with how things at large have been going. If you align with our left-of-center gender, orientation and relationship modality identities, we hope you consider joining HoS as a member -- and from our end, we hope to keep this supportive place going for 2026 and beyond. As always, even at the $5 monthly membership level, the mixer is FREE (it's open to all and is $10 otherwise).

- Fri 1.9 - Lip Service: pansexual makeout party ($0-25, HoS members only) - Making those New Year resolutions to be more adventurous? This is a very fun place to start...

- Sun 1.11 - Sinema Club: exploring gender & sexuality on screen ($0-10, open to all) - Sex and Lucia (2001) is that classic 90s/Y2K heady erotic-drama indie film that doesn't seem to get made these days. As one critic said, "it engages mind and body with its time-bending narrative and images of beautiful Spaniards having vibrant sex" -- what else do you need in a Sinema Club pick? It's a perfect social or date night, especially if you also order in dinner when you get there -- and we've got the popcorn in our vintage carnival cart.

- Sat 1.24 - Countdown pansexual play party ($0-50, approved HoS members only) - yes, HoS does that too. Go read the website :)

Cheers,

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

Imagine you have a best friend with a 5k sq ft lush Brooklyn loft with killer sound, lights & dance floor, and they're inviting you to their secret NYE hang. That's us, we're that friend. Tickets are extremely limited to create a cozy atmosphere; they are priced at minimum to cover staff & overhead / additional donations are welcome (Venmo: @gemini-scorpio).

7-10pm: we're opening a handful of spots for a traditional Soviet New Year's feast, with all the favorite Eastern European delights from the vast region (menu TBA depending on final number of guests, but expect a LOT of food). Equally traditional is the screening of the romantic comedy classic The Irony of Fate (with English subtitles): https://archive.is/HayY9

10pm-1:30am: dancing, lounging, kissing -- it's New Year's Eve! Happy dance beats only, nothing heavy, and lots of making out on our cozy couches. Perhaps even our beloved Spin The Bottle game on the stage, and other games in the house?

1:30am-late: Gemini & Scorpio hands over the reins to our sexy sister brand House of Scorpio for a very adult afterparty. Want to stay? Start here: http://www.houseofscorpio.com (you'll need a membership, PAL and approval to buy tickets)

Dress code: Nothing casual. Whether cocktail, formal, lingerie or kink, give us your best.

Socials: @houseof_scorpio [producer] @gemini_scorpio [venue] #houseofscorpio

We get asked all the time how people can join HoS if they are shy, don't have like-minded friends, lack PALs for play parties, have no idea how this whole thing works, don't feel like jumping into sexy activity but want to connect to open-minded humans, etc. This party is the answer!

Calling all LGBTQIA+, poly, kink, swinger and other "alternative" dating/sex/gender-aligned humans and their allies. We're creating a protected and judgment-free space for connections, conversations, community, games and interactivity. This is the key HoS event open to non-members. Come meet us before you join!

For those of you new to it all: direct introductions to HoS members new and old; facilitated discussions on poly, kink and swinger lifestyles; icebreaker games to welcome you to our club.

For our regulars: a way to ease new friends into our scene; a chance to meet all the new faces you may want to kiss later; a visit with the community even if your PAL is not around.

For everyone: tabletop and social games, both risqué and plain fun; a charming host to make the introductions and explain all things HoS and sex-positive, and a cozy setting for conversations and future kisses. Our main icebreaker game, HoS Guest Bingo, runs from 7:30pm until we have a winner: get to know everyone in the room, and win a drink if you're the first to complete your bingo card.

Miss Scorpio is back hosting the mixer! Come ask her directly anything you want to know about this community. We've been building it for you for 10+ years, and hope to be here for 10+ more.

HoS rules: HoS membership, PAL and dress code not required; no prior approval required; Code of Conduct always applies; no photos except in the designated front area.

Respiratory safety: masks welcome; two hospital grade UV air purifiers will cycle the air.

*Taste The Rainbow happens every first Friday of the month if our Loft is available; otherwise it moves to first Thursdays.

Socials: @houseof_scorpio [producer] @gemini_scorpio [venue] #houseofscorpio

Bring your luscious lips (yours and your PAL's), and join us for lubricating libations and naughty games with sexy friends and intriguing strangers. Bring toys & games to share (blindfolds? rope? sexy dice?).

Feeling shy or wanting to meet new folks? Come early! Meet our founder, Miss Scorpio. Between 9-10:30pm, Miss S is there to introduce new members to old timers, explain how the whole HoS thing works, and generally make a delightful fuss over your presence.

Think of our makeout parties as R-rated community mixers -- a place to get to know your fellow kinksters, introduce a partner to a more playful lifestyle, test out the sparks you may have had with someone at Taste The Rainbow -- before attending the more naughty play parties. It's also a way for us to vet you in person for those parties...talk to us at the event.

Dress to be kissed: sexy and fun. Fetish attire, formalwear, lingerie, corsets, tutus and costumes always welcome...and we consider those unisex options (the more colorful and outrageous, the better). No casual or business; door person WILL turn you away -- see Code of Conduct page on our site for more details on the dress code.

*Lip Service happens on the second Friday of every month

**HoS rules: HoS membership, PAL & Dress Code required; no prior approval required; Code of Conduct always applies; no photos except in the designated front area.

Respiratory safety: masks welcome; two hospital grade UV air purifiers will cycle the air.

The body's largest sex organ is the brain. Sinema Club stimulates yours with films that are explicitly erotic, homo-romantic, or gender-exploring -- and always thought-provoking. A rousing discussion follows; drinking is encouraged throughout, and mingling happens before, in breaks and after. Plus: free popcorn from our vintage cart. You can also order in from the many restaurants around, and make it dinner and a movie.

This month's feature: Sex and Lucía (2001)

After learning that her boyfriend, Lorenzo (Tristán Ulloa), a talented but troubled writer, may have committed suicide, the beautiful Lucía (Paz Vega) decides to escape to a remote Spanish island. When she arrives, she meets Carlos (Daniel Freire), a scuba diver, and Elena (Najwa Nimri), Lorenzo's former lover. As the twisted story unfolds, Lucía learns more about Lorenzo's tragic past, which may have been the inspiration for his latest novel -- and the root of his depression. Sex and Lucia engages mind and body with its time-bending narrative and images of beautiful Spaniards having vibrant sex.

Sinema Club is curated and hosted by Phil Guie-Ng (@thatphilguymovies): an inquisitive, ardent longtime film critic who is dying to tell you about movies you haven't heard of yet. As a reviewer at the website Film-Forward, his self-appointed mission was covering documentaries and features about subjects who challenged conventional attitudes about gender, masculinity, and more. When Phil isn't writing about movies, you can find him in Brooklyn taking part in protests on behalf of basic human rights.

*HoS rules: HoS membership, dress code, PAL, prior approval not required; Code of Conduct always applies; no photos except in the designated front area.

Respiratory safety: HoS requires proof of COVID vaccination on file; masks encouraged; two hospital grade UV air purifiers will cycle the air.
