And, when cis & hetero presenting, we are sometimes made to feel too straight for gay spaces, and so are left to guess in mixed environments. This event is a small step towards diminishing bi, queer and gay femme invisibility, enabling and encouraging women to connect romantically and physically to other women. We hope to be a place of empowerment and support for your exploration, even if you're just starting out or are unsure about your orientation. Explore and push your boundaries in a safe space, while enjoying a gorgeous outdoor space and delicious cocktails. We start with "Flirting for Femmes" mini Bedroom Badass class with Vonka 9:15-10pm, followed by ice breaker practice, and then mixer + dance party giving you a chance to reinforce your new skills. Don't need the class? Come for the party and flirt with a roomful of femme-identifying humans. Dress code: dress in whatever makes you feel sexy, however feminine or masculine you feel. 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! Who can attend: self-identifying femmes of all genders who want to connect with other femmes, from bi-curious to gay. While HoS events are usually more pansexual, we're going to keep this one as a non-binary & femme-only space. Important: HoS is a TERF-free zone! Trans women are women, and you're always welcome here. COVID safety: - Proof of vaccination is required to attend and will be added to your member profile for future events. We strongly recommend the official NY State Excelsior app, but you can also show your original vaccination card and photo ID (no copies of either). - Attendance is by advance ticket purchase only; no door sales. Tip: download the Wild Apricot app for easy mobile ticket purchase, especially if buying last minute. Tickets are available online throughout the event unless we reach capacity. - In an unlikely case of infection, our membership system will be used for contact tracing. Contact information is collected from all guests for this purpose. - Masks are welcome but not required, and are recommended for the dance floor if not keeping 6' apart (but there's plenty of room to dance at a safe distance). - All G&S staff have been vaccinated, but may still mask up as they see fit.
