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.

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.

Ethical Non-Monogamy: Navigating Open Relationships @ Meow University at Good Gyrll Studio
Jun 30 @ 9:00 PM – Jul 1 @ 12:00 AM

Polyamory workshop ChicagoIt seems everyone’s talking about non-monogamous relationships these days.  Polyamory has recently been featured on prime time news shows, magazine covers and reality TV programs.  If you’ve thought about exploring some form of non-monogamy, you’ve probably wondered:

Is there a difference between and open relationship and a polyamorous one?   How do swinging and group sex factor in? What is the appropriate way to approach someone for a threesome? How is jealousy managed with multiple partners? Isn’t “open-relationship” just a fancy term for cheating?  Are people poly because they like to have lots of sex?  How I talk to my partner about opening up our relationship?  What happens if I get jealous? 

There is no magic formula for an open relationship or one right way to be poly. In this workshop Ken and Sunny explain different types of non-monogamous relationships and give you tools to craft and maintain a relationship that’s right for you (and them!).

 

This class is through Chicago’s Meow University

And will take place at:

Good Gyrrl Studio
1200 W 35th St
Chicago, IL 60609

Eventbrite ticket page and additional details coming soon!
