Tue, 05 May 2026 22:29:00 GMT

[Don't mark us spam! Mail list information, including unsubscribe instructions, is at the end of this email.] Hello lovelies, It's fully spring out there, and while G&S isn't planning much to get into the sassy vibes, House of Scorpio is going strong. Plus, we have a guest Burner event tomorrow we thought you should know about, and not one, but TWO pop-up stirp clerbs next week. *** Upcoming G&S and guest events: *** - Tomorrow! Wed 5.6 - Burning Man Happy Hour ($0, open to all) - Frequently Questioned Answers edition. Whatever you might want to know, you can get it (questionably) answered by seasoned Burners and camp leads. We had about 100 people come through for the last HH in the loft! Come meet the community, whether you're a veteran or a newbie. Also, Miss Scorpio will have her racks set up for festival-ready party outfits. - Fri 5.22 - Dark DecaDance goth dance party ($0-20, open to all) - queer meets kink meets goth. Light play welcome, but mostly it's a social and dance party. Earlybird tickets are in effect until next Friday! *** Upcoming HoS events: *** - This Fri 5.8 - Lip Service: pansexual makeout party ($0-25, members only) - The party that started it all for HoS 14 years ago. It remains our signature event, and it's a ton of fun without a lot of pressure. Spin The Bottle! Dirty Jenga! Cute people of all genders in cute outfits! - This Sun 5.10 - Sinema Club: exploring gender & sexuality on screen ($0-10, open to all) - It's rare to see sexuality-oriented cinema be treated seriously, and we are here to change that. This month, a cult classic celebrating 55 years since its release in May '71: "Pink Narcissus." It's super charming, super gay, and so visually impactful that you will recognize its influence immediately. And we even have a special guest who's very important to the movie's story! - Next Fri 5.15 - Saints & Sinners: pop-up strip club ($0-25 GA / $0-45 VIP, members only) - Some of the best stars of burlesque and cabaret, in ways you've never seen them before. Fair warning: we somehow went heavy on lap dance / champagne room superstars, so the best action will be...personal. - Next Sun 5.19 - Femmetasia: pop-up strip club 2 ($0-25 GA / $0-45 VIP, open to all / discounts for members only) - we are soooo excited to give some of our NB / femme boy dancers their own safe space! It's a brand new event for them, and we hope you come out and support after you have fun at Saints on Friday. We can honor HoS discounts for this one, but not combo tix, since all ticket proceeds go to the organizers.

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.

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: Pink Narcissus (1971) Just released in a 4k restoration for its 55th anniversary, Pink Narcissus (1971) is an experimental erotic art film written, shot & directed by James Bidgood, largely in his own tiny NYC apartment. Bidgood's authorship wasn't confirmed until mid-90s, and the mystery only added to the queer cult classic status of the otherwise commercially unsuccessful film. Shot on 8mm, the film is bursting with bright, otherworldly lighting and intense colors. Alone in his apartment, a pretty rent boy (Bobby Kendall) fantasizes about worlds where he is the central character: a matador, a Roman slave boy and the emperor who condemns him, and the keeper of a harem for whom another man performs a belly dance. Bidgood's unmistakable lush, queer, camp influence still can be seen decades later in the work of photographers Pierre et Gilles &  David LaChapelle, directors John Waters & Zach Snyder ("300"), and even a particular strain of music videos for current musical artists like Chappell Roan and Lil Nas X’. Our special guest is none other than Bruce Benderson, the writer who identified James Bidgood as the creator of the film in 1998, later writing a 1999 Taschen monograph on him. 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. ===+++===+++===+++===+++===+++ FRI 5.15: POP-UP STRIP CLUB ===+++===+++===+++===+++===+++ House of Scorpio presents Saints & Sinners: pansexual pop-up strip club party Fri May 15, 9pm-3am, 21+ (25+ suggested), HoS members only* $0-25 GA / $0-45 reserved seats**, depending on membership level Group tickets possible, please contact us*** Earlybird sale: $10 off all tix until Fri May 1 Gemini & Scorpio Loft, 267 Douglass St, 3rd fl (ADA accessible) Official info & house rules: http://www.houseofscorpio.com/events.html Memberships & tix: http://www.houseofscorpio.com/membership.html (log in to buy) FB: https://www.facebook.com/events/3241326672841121 FL: https://bit.ly/4sZyEuv PL: https://plra.io/m/saints-and-sinners-pansexual-pop-up-strip-club-part-34 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.

Rules of the club: Bring cash to tip dancers & bar staff generously (we can exchange your larger bills but there's no ATM).

[G&S]: Fri: kissing party! / March: Burning Man happy hour, goth dance & more HoS events

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 23:20:00 GMT

[Don't mark us spam! Mail list information, including unsubscribe instructions, is at the end of this email.] Hello lovelies, What a gorgeous Mardi Gras, as always! So much love to the bands and the guests! G&S doesn't do as many big blowouts these days, so it's pure joy when we get to do what we do -- and you guys turn up in full finery and fill the place <3 Well post pics and video to Insta as they come in; some are already up - go see. We've got a mixed bag of options for your March events, between us, House of Scorpio, and a guest Burning Man event. All details are below the summaries in date order. We hope to see you here again soon! *** Upcoming G&S and guest events: *** - Wed 3.25 - Burning Man Happy Hour ($0, open to all) - theme camp speed dating edition! If you're going to That Thing In The Desert, finding a camp to stay and build creativity with is one of the biggest decisions you get to make. Come meet local NYC theme camps and see if any of them might be a match for you. Also, Miss Scorpio will have her racks set up for festival-ready party outfits. - Fri 3.27 - Dark DecaDance goth dance party ($0-20, open to all) - queer meets kink meets goth. Light play welcome, but mostly it's a social and dance party. Earlybird tickets are in effect until Friday! *** Upcoming HoS events: *** - This Fri 3.13 - Lip Service: pansexual makeout party ($0-25, members only) - A party where making out in dark corners is not just tolerated, but encouraged. Even if you're only playing within your closed circle, doing that without feeling like you're breaking the social contract feels pretty great. For you more adventurous folk, this is where the games get physical, too (Sexy Jenga! Spin the Bottle!). It's our signature event, and it's a ton of fun without a lot of pressure. - Fri 4.3 - Taste The Rainbow: community social ($0-10, open to all) - The all-are-welcome monthly gathering to introduce members old and new to each other. We have table and icebreaker games to make the intros easier. As always, even $5 members can attend the event FREE. - Sun 4.12 - Sinema Club: exploring gender & sexuality on screen ($0-10, open to all) - It's rare to see sexuality-oriented cinema be treated seriously, and we are here to change that. This month, we're returning to our Es-sin-tial Filmmakers series with one of the top classics of the 90s nouveau adult cinema (arguably even the one that started the trend!): Andrew Blake's "House of Dreams" (1991). - Fri 4.17 - FemFlirt + MeetMarket ($0-10, open to all) - Want to meet more humans to kiss? Come flirt, at the one HoS party where you're allowed to shamelessly hit on other guests! Half the room is dedicated to a safe and encouraging space for F4F & NB flirting, and half the room is for all-gender flirting. The bar is a no-cruising social safe space: friendly chat only. Singles and dating non-singles of all genders and orientations welcome. Let's flirt! (We're still finding out whether Vonka is available to teach her Flirting for Femmes class.)

Calling all LGBTQIA+, poly, kink, ENM 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.

A unnamed woman (Zara Whites) finds herself exploring a house where every room conjures up visions of sex: straight, gay, solo, kink. House of Dreams took home 7 AVN Awards (including Best Film), making it director Andrew Blake's most honored movie to date. Andrew Blake is one of our Es-Sin-tial Filmmakers: sex columnist Violet Blue has called his films "a whole different genre of explicit erotic filmmaking," "luxuriously designed from nip tip to toe," and "stylish as hell." Released in 1991, this is the film that can be considered the trend-setter in the brief blip of gorgeously avant grade 90s adult cinema. 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.

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. *** 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. Who can attend: self-identifying women and GNC/NB humans who want to connect with other women and GNC/NB humans. No masc folks on this side of the room, please. *** 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). 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: humans of all genders who might want to flirt with and go on dates with other 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 sexy attire. You're coming to flirt! *HoS rules: HoS membership, PAL or prior approval not required; sexy dress code encouraged, but you won't be turned away if not dressed to code; 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.   ===+++===+++===+++=== Do you have something to share with us or events you'd like to have included in our emails?

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.

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).

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.

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).

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 19:45:00 GMT

[Don't mark us spam! Mail list information, including unsubscribe instructions, is at the end of this email.] Hello lovelies, Valentine's Day -- and our 24th birthday! -- is next Saturday, but this entire month celebrates romance, love, lust and sensuality. Alongside our usual clandestine French cabaret on the special day itself, there 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. Here are all the February 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 ] *** - Sat 2.14 - Meet Me in Paris ($20-50, open to all / HoS members get discounts) - step back in time to turn-of-century Paris in the annual G&S Valentine's cabaret bash and 24th(!) birthday party. Live music, live performance, cozy seating, swingin' dance floor, killer cocktails...and a midnight ceremony to release old love patterns and invite new love in. Best date night in town at about half the price of a boring restaurant. - Fri 2.27 - Dark DecaDance goth dance party ($0-20, open to all / HoS members get discounts) - queer meets kink meets goth.

And as always, even at the $5 monthly membership level, the mixer is FREE ($10 otherwise). - Next Fri 2.13 - Lip Service: pansexual makeout party ($0-25, members only) - The legendary R-rated event that lets you dip your toes into those playful waters. Whether it's our Spin The Bottle, Dirty Jenga or DIY Win-A-Kiss Wheel, we offer you lots of ways to experiment, with just your partner(s) or the larger group. This is the one event where you won't be judged for the thing that is most fun to do at a party: make out with someone in a dark corner. - 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.

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.

[G&S]: Tmrw: goth dance / VDay month: makeouts, movies, cabaret party, more!

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 22:03:00 GMT

[Don't mark us spam! Mail list information, including unsubscribe instructions, is at the end of this email.] Hello lovelies, What a strange few years it's been...and yet here we are in 2026 and, impossibly, are about to celebrate our 24th birthday on Valentine's Day (we threw our first party on VDay in 2002!). Alongside our usual clandestine cabaret blowout, there are the saucy House of Scorpio events all February. As you know by now, running this safe-space community means the world to us, and we hope you might consider joining it as well as our usual non-spicy G&S parties. *** G&S upcoming events! [ All info on http://www.geminiandscorpio.com/events.html ] *** - This Fri 1.23 - Dark DecaDance goth dance party ($15-20, HoS members get discounts) - queer meets kink meets goth. This month is our rare live band edition! If you feel alive when dark guitar riffs, vocals and drums reverberate through your chest, this is your moment. - Sat 2.14 - Gemini & Scorpio's Meet Me in Paris ($20-50, HoS members get discounts) - step back in time to turn-of-century Paris in the annual VDay cabaret bash and 24th(!) birthday party. Live music, live performance, cozy seating, swingin' dance floor, killer cocktails...and a midnight ceremony to release old love patterns and invite new love in. Best date night in town at about half the price of a boring restaurant. *** HoS upcoming events! [ All info on http://www.houseofscorpio.com/events.html ] *** - Fri 2.6 - Taste The Rainbow: community social ($0-10, open to all) - New Year resolutions and Valentine's Day always give February HoS events an extra buzz. If you're thinking about attending any of the sexier offerings later in the month, we super duper strongly recommend popping into the mixer first -- meet the community socially before entering into more playful space with us. And as always, even at the $5 monthly membership level, the mixer is FREE ($10 otherwise). - Sun 2.8 - 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 2.13 - Lip Service: pansexual makeout party ($0-25, members only) - The legendary R-rated event that lets you dip your toes into those playful waters. Whether it's our Spin The Bottle, Dirty Jenga or DIY Win-A-Kiss Wheel, we offer you lots of ways to experiment, with just your partner(s) or the larger group. This is the one event where you won't be judged for the thing that is most fun to do at a party: make out with someone in a dark corner. - 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. That's...as much as we can say, other than: YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS. We don't have the full invite up anywhere yet, but tickets are available, and there's an extra -$10 early bird discount until early Feb!

[G&S]: Tomorrow's secret NYE party plan / January House of Scorpio events

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 18:22:00 GMT

[Don't mark us spam! Mail list information, including unsubscribe instructions, is at the end of this email.] 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.

Happy dance beats only, nothing heavy, and lots of making out on our cozy couches.

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.

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).

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.

[G&S]: The secret NYE party plan / January House of Scorpio events

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 22:29:00 GMT

[Don't mark us spam! Mail list information, including unsubscribe instructions, is at the end of this email.] Hello lovelies, New Year's Eve is coming! 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): - Next Wed 12.31 - The Secret NYE ($0-70, party open to all / afterparty for approved HoS members only) - We're splitting the night into three separate parts -- pick your comfort level (and comfort food). We start with a Soviet feast & classic movie (IYKYK), go to a sparkly dance-y house party, and end with *that* kind of afterparty hosted by House of Scorpio. And all of this priced as affordably as we can make it -- we just need to cover our labor, supplies and staff. Tickets are extremely limited to keep the event intimate. You are our community, and we <3 you...come play in your secret clubhouse. (This is such a last-minute decision that the event isn't on the website yet...yes, it's happening, and we'll update the site as soon as we can. Tix are live via HoS!) - Next Fri 1.2 - Taste The Rainbow: community social ($0-10, open to all) - The all-are-welcome monthly gathering to introduce everyone to each other and to House of Scorpio, with table and icebreaker games to make the intros easier. We know you're making those resolutions to get our more, to make more friends, to be more true to yourself in your relationships, to explore more...whatever it is, come find your community. And do you know that even at the $5 monthly membership level, you can attend this event FREE? - Fri 1.9 - Lip Service: pansexual makeout party ($0-25, HoS members only) - If you're ready for something a little more physical, this is the party that started it all. Wear your sexy best and get down with either your own partner or polycule, or all the beautiful humans in the room. - 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.

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.

[Don't mark us spam! Mail list information, including unsubscribe instructions, is at the end of this email.] Hello lovelies, Spooky season comes into full swing this weekend...look at everything that's happening at the Loft, between us, our sister company House of Scorpio, and guest producers. And if you're a House of Scorpio member, you get discounts to nearly all events! Not a HoS member yet? You can sign up instantly -- base membership starts at just $5, though the discounts start at the $15 level. Every dollar of your memberships goes towards keeping the Loft alive, and every dollar counts. We'll include the full HoS schedule below so you can see just how active the community is, and the fun you could have if you're a member. As we said in the last email: big events like we used to do are becoming less sustainable all the time, and this is likely our last Halloween. But we love what HoS is, and the community it keeps safe, and we're working hard on keeping that light on. We're also focusing more on keeping the venue going with private events. Want to support us so our magic playhouse doesn't go away? 1) Buy tickets to this week's and other events 2) Join HoS as a monthly member 3) spread the word to anyone looking for a lush spot for birthdays, weddings, shows...absolutely anything! Do you know what you're wearing for Halloween? Miss Scorpio's racks are full of incredible costumes -- set up your own time to visit, or shop at any of the parties below. Insta for previews and to set up appts: http://instagram.com/miss_scorpio_fashion Here's everything coming up: - This Fri 10.24 - HoS Halloween - Persephone ($0-50, members only) - Kinky cabaret meets dungeon play party, against our Dark Decadance goth dance backdrop. Dark music, dark vibes, kinky playtime (and a bit more, if you're inside the dungeon area). See and experience things you can't anywhere else. BYO toys and playmates, or tip our demigod dommes to show you the way. Approval NOT required for ticket purchase, and you only need PALs (or dommes) in play areas, though you do need to be a member. For best guest experience, we're limiting sales to 50 tickets only -- you will have room to watch, to dance and to explore. - This Sat 10.25 - G&S Halloween - Masquerade Macabre ($25-60, open to all) - live bands, live acts, lots of dancing, lots of fun. If you book through the HoS member system, you get all the usual discounts for your levels! Plus, guest tickets are only $30, even if that tier sells out on the G&S ticketing page. - Next Sat/Sun 10.31-1.1 - Rocky Horror Picture Show screening, shadow cast performance & afterparty! *** NEW MONTH, NEW EVENT ROTATION! *** - Thur(!) 11.6 - Taste The Rainbow: community social ($0-10, open to non-members) - The all-are-welcome monthly gathering to introduce you all to each other, with table and icebreaker games to make the intros easier. Do you know that even at the $5 monthly membership level, you can attend this event FREE? Pretty handy, considering what's going on the following night... - Fri 11.7 - Saints & Sinners ($0-50, members only) - The one and only pop-up skrip clerb fit for the HoS fam, with a lineup that will bring you to your knees. That's...as much as we can say, other than: YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS. Two of our HOLY-CRAP-DID-I-JUST-SEE-THAT faves are back for this one: Alaska the Lost Boy and Sideshow Scandal. This is Alaska's only NYC gig in many months! - Sat 11.8 - Look If You Dare ($0-35, open to non-members) - we're taking our in-the-round skrip clerb setup and inviting the sassy producers of Look If You Dare to return to our special clubhouse with more art, burlesque and naughty fun. Get in the splash zone! Regular tix available to all on the official ticket page; member discounts available in our system with HoS log-in. - Fri 11.14 - Lip Service: pansexual makeout party ($0-25, members only) - A party where making out in dark corners is not just tolerated, but encouraged. Even if you're only playing within your closed circle, doing that without feeling like you're breaking the social contract feels pretty great. For you more adventurous folk, this is where the games get physical, too (Sexy Jenga! Spin the Bottle!). It's our signature event, and it's a ton of fun without a lot of pressure. - Sun 11.16 - Sinema Club: exploring gender & sexuality on screen ($0-10, open to non-members) - having indulged in car crashes and vampires, we're going classy for November: Maurice, an actual Merchant-Ivory film! A gay love story released at the peak of the AIDS crisis in 1987, the movie was a much more defiant move than it might seem from its reserved English ways. It's a perfect date night, especially if you also order in dinner when you get there -- and we've got the popcorn in our vintage carnival cart.

You can also order in from the many restaurants around, and make it dinner and a movie. This month's feature: Maurice (1987) "Maurice" is a tale of gay love in the restrictive and repressed culture of Edwardian England, following its main character, Maurice Hall, through university, a tumultuous relationship, struggling to fit into society, and ultimately being united with his life partner. A Merchant Ivory blue-chip classic, the film stars Hugh Grant, James Wilby and Rupert Graves in lead roles, and Ben Kingsley, Denholm Elliott, Simon Callow and Billie Whitelaw as supporting cast. Maurice has won abundant praise both for the quality of the film and the audacity with which it depicted a gay love story at the height of the 1980s AIDS crisis. According to the Los Angeles Times, the fact that: "the lush, dignified 'Maurice,' with its share of man-on-man smooches, full-frontal male nudity, gay lovemaking and unabashed declarations of same-sex desire, as well as a main character who was ultimately affirmative and unwavering about his homosexuality (during a time when it was a criminal offense, no less), landed a unique place in then-contemporary gay culture. That a movie which celebrated romance between men – with a rare happy ending – was released at the height of the AIDS epidemic only added to the acclaimed picture's provocative profile." 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.

While the G&S brass band Masquerade is Sat 10.25, House of Scorpio, our sexy sister brand, has its own fun events lineup over the next few weeks, and only a few of those require membership (which is instant, doesn't take approval or other extra steps, and starts at $5). We're looking forward to seeing you next week, but we're considering making this our last Halloween party after 23 years. We are doing our best to keep the venue going with private events and our beloved queer/poly/kinky/sx-pos community House of Scorpio, but the big events like we used to do are becoming less sustainable all the time. Come celebrate our history and help guide our future -- all ideas welcome. Want to support us so our magic playhouse doesn't go away? 1) Buy tickets to next week's and other events 2) Join HoS as a monthly member -- even a $5 membership makes a difference 3) spread the word to anyone looking for a lush spot for birthdays, weddings, shows, play parties, movies, photo shoots, etc etc. And yes, Holiday and New Year's Eve dates are currently available. *** Do you know what you're wearing on the big weekend yet? Miss Scorpio's racks are full of incredible costumes -- set up your own time to visit now, before the best things fly away, or shop at any of the parties below. Insta for previews and to set up appts: http://instagram.com/miss_scorpio_fashion *** Here's what's coming up in October. Bullet points for event basics, full invites below: - [HoS event] This Fri 10.17 - FemFlirt + MeetMarket ($0-10, open to non-members) - Calling all singles and dating non-singles of all genders and orientations. Let's flirt! Half the Loft is dedicated to a safe and encouraging space for F4F & NB flirting, and half the Loft is for all-gender flirting. The bar is a no-cruising social safe space: friendly chat only. The apps will not save us...let's meet IRL. - [HoS event] Next Fri 10.24 - Persephone ($0-50, members only) - Kinky cabaret meets dungeon play party, against our Dark Decadance goth dance backdrop. Dark music, dark vibes, kinky playtime. See and experience things you can't anywhere else. BYO toys and playmates, or tip our demigod dommes to show you the way. Approval NOT required, and you only need PALs in play areas, but yes, you need to be a member. - [G&S event] Next Sat 10.25 - Masquerade Macabre ($30-60, open to all) - Funkrust Brass Band leads the dance party, and spooky variety acts fill in the pauses. Earlybird tickets available for just two more days -- until Friday. - [Guest event] Fri & Sat 10.31-11.1 - Rocky Horror Picture Show screening, shadow cast performance & afterparty! Info TK. - [HoS event] Thur 11.6 - Taste The Rainbow: community social ($0-10, open to non-members) - The all-are-welcome monthly gathering to introduce you all to each other, with table and icebreaker games to make the intros easier. Do you know that even at the $5 monthly membership level, you can attend this event FREE? Pretty handy, considering what's going on the following night... - [HoS event] Fri 11.7 - Saints & Sinners ($0-50, members only) - The one and only pop-up skrip clerb fit for the HoS fam, with a lineup that will bring you to your knees. That's...as much as we can say, other than: YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS. Two of our HOLY-CRAP-DID-I-JUST-SEE-THAT faves are back for this one: Alaska the Lost Boy and Sideshow Scandal. This is Alaska's only NYC gig in many months! - [HoS event] Fri 11.14 - Lip Service: pansexual makeout party ($0-25, members only) - A party where making out in dark corners is not just tolerated, but encouraged. Even if you're only playing within your closed circle, doing that without feeling like you're breaking the social contract feels pretty great. For you more adventurous folk, this is where the games get physical, too (Sexy Jenga! Spin the Bottle!). It's our signature event, and it's a ton of fun without a lot of pressure.

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. 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. Respiratory safety: masks welcome; two hospital grade UV air purifiers will cycle the air. ========================= FRI 10.24: HoS HALLOWEEN ========================= House of Scorpio presents Persephone: dark dance + dungeon Halloween Fri 10.24, 9pm-3am, 21+ (25+ suggested), HoS members only $0-50 depending on membership level / $20 after 12am if capacity allows For best guest experience, only 50 tickets are available; please reserve in advance!

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 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.

Don't be late: entertainment starts at 9:30pm. Once the dancers are done at 1:30am, the stage is yours to shake your booty on. Live out your strip fantasies as our DJ provides the beats into the night. Rules of the club: Tip generously (dancers & bar staff). Please only sit at the rail (stage-side seating) when actively tipping / 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).

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.
