Hello lovelies,

Valentine's month continues, celebrating romance, love, lust and sensuality. Thank you all who made it to our annual birthday cabaret...up next are the saucy House of Scorpio events: as you might know by now, running this safe-space community means the world to us, and we hope you might consider joining it as a delightful shadow twin to our non-spicy G&S parties. And ofc G&S is still here for you with themed events, music and dancing!

Here are upcoming plans by both G&S and HoS. Full invites to all below, in date order.

*** G&S upcoming events! [ All info on http://www.geminiandscorpio.com/events.html ] ***

- Next Fri 2.27 - Dark DecaDance goth dance party ($0-20, open to all / HoS members get discounts) - queer meets kink meets goth. This month is a totally wild Yugowave edition - welcoming West-coast DJs spinning all-vinyl Yugoslavian dark wave, post punk, goth, new wave and dark punk (seriously, it's a Thing!)

- Sat 3.7 - Brooklyn Mardi Gras ($25-50, open to all / HoS members get discounts) - One of the absolute best parties of the year is back! Brass bands, dancing, beads...you know how we do it. As always, you get a FREE slice of King Cake if you reserve in advance -- in this case by March 3.

*** HoS upcoming events! [ All info on http://www.houseofscorpio.com/events.html ] ***

- This Fri 2.20 - Saints & Sinners ($0-25 GA / $0-45 VIP, members only) - It's back! The one and only pop-up skrip clerb fit for HoS, with a lineup that will bring you to your knees. Full lineup in the invite below, and it's *chef's kiss.* Grab those tickets now: there's a -$10 early bird discount until this Fri!

- [new date!] Sun 2.22 - Sinema Club: exploring gender & sexuality on screen ($0-10, open to all) - Dinner and a movie is a classic date or friend night, and we're here to facilitate yours. We have two absurd options for you: Isabella Rossellini's charmingly DIY mini doc series Green Porno + the softcore sex comedy Sexual Chronicles of a French Family. You guys decide how much or how little of each you want to see!

- Fri 3.6 - Taste The Rainbow: community social ($0-10, open to non-members) - Never been to any other event like House of Scorpio? Wondering where to find your people? Start here! We promise, we're very friendly. And of course it's also FREE for members, so sign up now so you can attend the makeout party later...and any other HoS event in March.

Cheers,

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

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

For one night only, our sexy clubhouse becomes a full-on strip club, with a double-pole stage, an array of lap dance-ready seating, and our very own Champagne Room. A hand-picked lineup of rainbow-gendered burlesque, pole or circus stars awaits, each stepping outside the boundaries of their genre to spend the whole night dancing for you on stage and in your lap.

Featuring:
- Laura Desiree, the sky-high sinner & former Naked News host
- Nina Lavoix, the grande dame of derriere
- Happy Bun Bun, the fastest ass in NYC
- Esmé, French charm with a New York attitude
- Nita B Yellowcakes, the tastiest slice of slink & spice
- Butchie Gamble, the sinful embodiment of sensual sass
- Hosted by the gentleman showgirl The Ivory Fox

Don't be late: entertainment starts at 9:30pm. Once the dancers are done at 1am, the stage is yours to shake your booty on. Live out your strip fantasies as our DJ Reaganomics provides the beats into the night.

Rules of the club: Bring cash to tip dancers & bar staff generously (we can exchange your larger bills but there's no ATM). You're welcome to sit stage-side when tipping, but please rotate out when your wallet needs a break. Get lap dances: they're the best part...then try the champagne room, because that's the only way it can get better. 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 required; PAL & prior approval not required; Code of Conduct always applies; no photos except in the designated front area.

**Reserved seats include: admission + seat at either a couch or a 4-person table with prime stage view, one row behind the rail (ie the seats are yours all night, and you can rotate in/out of the rail in front if desired). Seat choice is first-come, first-served.

***Yes, we can also create group (6+) tickets for birthdays, bachelor/ettes, etc. At least one person in the group has to be a Friend+ member. Please contact admin [at] houseofscorpio [com] to set up.

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 features: Isabella Rossellini's Green Porno + Sexual Chronicles of a French Family

Green Porno (2008) is a series of short films on animal sexual behaviour conceived, written, and directed by its star, Isabella Rossellini. The three seasons of the series cover insects, marine & ocean life. The series is delightfully DIY, with homemade costumes, cardboard cut-outs and foam-rubber sculptures.

Sexual Chronicles of a French Family (2012, 85min), a sex comedy featuring explicit scenes with adult film stars. The premise is as shallow as any adult film: after youngest son Romain is caught filming himself masturbating in class, his mother Claire rounds up the family to talk about their sexual experiences. Heavily edited when released internationally, tonight’s viewing will be the original French cut rarely seen on the big screen.

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.

Together they deliver a raw, analog journey through shadowy underground sounds from the former Yugoslavia and beyond—built for the body, the dance floor, and the dark.

Plus: resident DJ Shiver has been bringing the best of darkwave, goth, industrial, and post-punk sounds since 2015. Having spun at Femme Fest LA, Defcon NYC, and co-founding clubs Dolce Vita and Physical Ruins, she continues to blend both beloved classics and the best of new dark music. She also runs Wire Trap music magazine featuring the best new darkwave and post-punk music and events.

Light kink play welcome, but please note there is no dedicated dungeon setup or dedicated monitors. Consent and polite party behavior strictly enforced.

Dress code: goth, fetish, romantic, vampire, dark Lolita, neo-Victorian, steampunk, ninja warrior. Effort required / no casual wear.

People always ask if 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 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 place to start if you've never been -- and the party is always FREE if you're already a member.

For those of you new to it all: a place to be comfortable in your gender or orientation identity, direct introductions to HoS members new and old; open discussions on varied 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: PG-13 tabletop and social games, a charming host to make the introductions and explain all things HoS and sex-positive, and a cozy setting for conversations and future kisses. Be on time! Our 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.

Current host: Miss Scorpio is back hosting the mixer. Come ask her directly anything you want to know about HoS. We've been building this community 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.
