Hello lovelies,

A few more days until you can get down and flirt with us! We would love to see a ton of our community come out for this. It's dirt cheap; no membership is required, and it's always better to have a full room for these kinds of events. (Do you want us to host more of these? Show up! It's the only way we know that you do.)

- This Fri 4.17 - FemFlirt + MeetMarket ($0-10, open to non-members) - Want to meet more people romantically, not just socially? Come flirt, at the *only* 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!

- Next Fri 4.24 - 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.

- Sat 4.25 - Countdown pansexual play party ($0-50, approved members only) - our private clubhouse invites you for private playtime. Want to indulge in some exhibitionism? Got a date you can't host at home? Want to take Lip Service vibes to the next level? Come on out and play! Hot tip: it's cheaper than a hotel room, and, unlike hotels, we welcome group fun.

- Fri 5.1 - Taste The Rainbow: community social ($0-10, open to all) - if you're considering any of our sexier events or are otherwise new to HoS, we strongly recommend starting with this 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).

- Fri 5.8 - 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 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, 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). And James Avalon, a giant of 90s adult arthouse film (remember Zazel?) who was heavily influenced by Blake, will be joining us in conversation after the screening. IYKYK - this is a huge deal!

- Save the date! Fri 5.17 - Saints & Sinners: pop-up strip club ($0-25 GA / $0-45 VIP, members only) - IYKYK. Plus, we'll have a little bonus strip action for you that Sunday, too. Stay tuned! For you eager beavers, YES, we've got earlybird heavily discounted tix already up.

***
Please reserve tickets in advance! It helps us plan entertainment, staff and supplies. Friend with Benefits level+ members can even retain credit for any unused tickets and roll them over to another event. If you want to upgrade levels: https://bit.ly/4bsZAKQ

FRI 4.17: FLIRTING PARTY
=========================

House of Scorpio
presents

Two flirting parties in one: FemFlirt + MeetMarket

Fri Apr 17, 9pm-1am (intros & social games 9-10pm), 21+ (25+ suggested)
For existing & prospective HoS members*; members: $0-10 / non-members: $10 + $2 fee
Gemini & Scorpio Loft, 267 Douglass St, 3rd fl (ADA accessible)

PL: https://plra.io/m/two-flirting-parties-in-one-femflirt-meetmarket-54

If you're looking to meet potential dates, partners and play PALs, finally: two flirting parties in one. We'll divide our 5k sq ft loft in two & run these side-by-side.

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. Our community leans poly & ENM, but we welcome everyone into the sx-pos consent-forward dating pool.

Social games 9-10pm to help you connect; tabletop games and conversation starters all night to make flirting less awkward; name tags w color coded stars to make dating parameters clear.

***

For femmes & NB folks: FemFlirt

It tends to be harder for women/GNC/NB folks to flirt, as they frequently can't tell how much flirting may be ok, who's straight and who's open, and whether a new connection might be one with potential chemistry to explore or just a friendly one. 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 someone. Wondering where to meet up with your new app match? Bring them here. Invite all your single friends. Tell your mom.

Who can attend: humans of all genders who might want to flirt with and go on dates with other humans of any genders.

***

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 cute/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.

DDD is a queer-forward kink-friendly goth dance celebration, inviting all participants to let go, dance and play in our luscious private loft. We embrace all genders and sexualities and levels of darkness.
 
On decks: 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.

Special guest: XSB-R is the electronic music project of Brooklyn-based artist Henry Chen, whose sound is deeply rooted in the Goth, Industrial, and Dark Techno scenes of the New York Tri-State area. Through XSB-R, Henry channels these influences to serve as a global messenger for dark electronic music while simultaneously fostering the local community through his own curated platforms. As the founder of TUNNELWERK, he showcases Acid, EBM, and underground sounds via monthly events, and through his Cafe Reflexion residency at Caffeine Underground, he successfully brings intimate Darkwave and Industrial experiences to unique, unconventional settings.

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, 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.

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.

Lip Service: pansexual makeout party

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

SUN 5.10: MOVIE

House of Scorpio
presents

Sinema Club

Sun 4.12, 7-11:30pm, 21+ (25+ suggested)
For existing & prospective HoS members*; members: $0-10 / non-members: $10 + $2 fee
Gemini & Scorpio Loft, 267 Douglass St, 3rd fl (ADA accessible)

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: Pink Narcissus (1971)

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.
