On The Edge: S&M Means Stand and Model ~ Mad Men Cosplay Party @ The Studio
May 30 @ 1:00 AM – 7:00 AM

 

May 29th is President Kennedy’s Birthday! Come join us at The Studio.

The show Mad Men has inspired a lot of folks to be more conscious of the clothes they wear. We are having a fashion night/play party for those that like to play dress up. If you identify as male for the evening wear a suit. If you identify as female: wear vintage dresses or lingerie, stockings, high heels (maybe a corset) and absolutely no pants.

Click here for 1950/1960’s party ideas 

We will be constructing a demonstration scene based on 1950’s/1960’s kinky household play and over the knee spanking. Break out your Grandma’s recipe book and bring a dish to pass (Waldorf salad, anything with spam, triscuit with spray cheese, deviled eggs). We will be playing Dirty Charades and Bondage Twister.

There will be a designated area for Photo Whores and Paparazzi.

Unlike Mad Men, this event is clean and sober, no alcohol, drugs or smoking allowed. This event is open to anyone 18 years or older. IDs with proof of age will be required at door.

$10 Donation and bring a dish to pass.

RSVP to [email protected] for directions.

A No B.S. Approach to Kink – BDSM Class (Online) @ Bloom Community App
Aug 30 @ 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

Workshop description

Curious about kink? Or perhaps you’re an experienced lifestyler eager for new inspiration? No matter where you are on your kink journey, this class can help you explore your fantasies with confidence. But first, you’ll need to unlearn everything you thought you knew about BDSM…

In this virtual session, award-winning Clinical Sexologist & BDSM Educator, Sunny Megatron, outlines frameworks for custom-building kinky experiences that fit your specific needs & desires. She’ll also help you bypass the B.S. by debunking myths, “One Twue Wayisms,” and misleading stereotypes common within kink communities.

You’ll get an overview of BDSM elements (Bondage & Discipline, Dominance & Submission, Sadomasochism) plus tips for playing with intention and in ways that are identity-affirming & empowering. You’ll explore practical strategies for consent & ethics, healthy communication, identifying interests & limits, creative scene building, partner negotiation, cultivating playfulness, safety, navigating community, finding trustworthy educational resources, and more.

This isn’t your typical BDSM 101. While this class will give newcomers a solid introduction to kink basics, it’s also chock-full of valuable tools, strategies, and insights for people of all experience levels.

NOTE: There will be opportunities to participate in exercises & ask questions, but it’s completely optional! Whether you choose to have your camera on, prefer to join with just your voice, engage in the text chat, or remain completely incognito is entirely up to you. Sunny’s goal is to create a comfortable, inclusive environment that accommodates various learning styles & allows you to participate according to your comfort level. So, feel free to join in (or not) however you feel most at ease!

 

Closed captions are available for all Bloom virtual events.

This class WILL be recorded and available to view for 1 week. The class will be sent out the following day by 1pm EST.
