Date: September 8th 2017

Hello lovelies,

We're back from Burning Man and are working on All The Things. Lots is coming up, and we'll probably have bunch of announcements in next week's newsletter.

For now, you should know we're hosting a secret pop-up strip cub in our Brooklyn lair next Friday. We don't normally list our sexier events here (those belong to our sister list, House of Scorpio), but this one is pretty damn fun even for those of you who would never attend a play party or a regular strip club. Highly recommend checking it out.

In regular G&S events, we have the elaborate Grand Victorian Banquet and Ball coming up on Sat, Oct 7. It'll be all the details we planned to feature at our Gilded Age Garden Party upstate, but transported to a secret ballroom and 1850s carriage house in midtown. More details on food and music to be added in the coming weeks. Tickets are on sale now, and they're quite limited.

Cheers,

Gemini & Scorpio, makers of themed costume events with live entertainment http://www.geminiandscorpio.com

For one night only, our sexy clubhouse becomes a full-on strip club, with a pole stage, an array of lap dance-ready seating....and a play-friendly Champagne Room. There will be six dancers to entertain you: each a hand-picked burlesque, pole or circus star stepping outside the boundaries of their genre to spend the whole night dancing for you on stage and in your lap. Featuring:

  • Peekaboo Pointe, fastest tassel-twirler from East to West (and our cover girl! Look at the FB event)
  • Jo Boobs, the Grand Dame of burlesque
  • Maine Attraction, the love assassin who puts the "action" in satisfaction
  • Gal Friday, the five-alarm fire of burlesque
  • Cheekie Lane, the wild child of the Id and the Ego
  • Audrey Love, the tantalizing tease

Once the dancers are done at 1am, the stage is yours to shake your booty on. Live out your strip fantasies on our stage as DJ Ceremony provides the beats late into the night.

Rules of the club: the usual Lip Service dress code & code of conduct apply / Countdown rules in Champagne Room. Read the website. Dress up. Tip generously (dancers, wait & bar staff). Get lap dances (they're the best part, and only $10). Respect the dancers. Keep your hands to yourself (or your partner). Nudity is fine on the stage, but no private parts on our furniture.

*How to attend: 1) Email us [scorpio at houseofscorpio] with your and your PAL's FB, Fetlife or other online profile to get approved / get link for advance tickets. 2) Fill out the form on our site for an auto-reply with the loft address (also revealed with ticket purchase). 3) If you're approved, you may also buy tickets at the door, though we can't guarantee availability.

Join us as we travel back in time to the turn of the century, to an elegant country resort a short carriage ride away from the hustle and bustle of the city (which at that time extended only as far north as 14th Street).

We will begin the night with an informal reception, where banquet guests can enjoy delightful spiced punch and a guided tour through the garden and beautifully preserved mansion. At 8pm, we open the doors to the secret candlelit ballroom and invite you to a lavish and historically accurate banquet, featuring multiple courses and wine. The meal will be accompanied by a short lecture on Victorian dining and the featured dishes from our chef and historical cooking expert Rebecca Leigh Silverman.

Ball-only guests can arrive at 9pm for their own reception, house and grounds tours. At 10pm, Retro Remix Orchestra kicks off the ball, and we all twirl in candlelight until 2am.

Entertainment and activities: - Retro Remix Orchestra - classic songs and current pop hits performed in orchestral, hot jazz and swing arrangements - At 8:30 and 9:30pm: Edwardian fashion presentations with historical costumer John W. Richardson of As They Sew in France. Topics: Morning to evening in Edwardian dress / The rise & fall of the bustle - Hand-drawn fashion illustrations of guests by Anastasios Taso Megaris - Victorian parlor and card games played with authentic decks from mid-1800s through early 1900s - DIY amusements from turn-of-century books

Dress code: 1800s through 1919 ballroom, formal or military (for men)--or as close as you can get with modern formal. Men: tuxes or tails. Ladies: corsets and long gowns. Costume inspiration Pinterest board (not ours): http://bit.ly/1WvlVyB - and ours for banquet/ball/tea research: http://bit.ly/29n5fZm

About our chef: Culinary historian Rebecca Leigh Silverman has over 20 years experience working in living history museums as an historic culinary expert. She specializes in period hearthside cooking and libations. When not cooking in the past, she's a Brooklyn based bartender, trying odd old recipes out on her modern day customers and talking about the perfect sazerac.

About our venue: Constructed in 1799 as a carriage house for a 23-acre estate, and converted into the Mount Vernon Hotel in 1826, this stone building sits on land originally owned by Colonel William Stephens Smith, and his wife Abigail Adams Smith, daughter of John Adams. The hotel operated until 1833, at which point the house became the home for three generations of a New York City family.
