50 Shades of STFU: Sparkle Ball
January 25 @ 8:00 pm - 1:00 am
Presented by Mistress Viola & head DM/cohost @MaeveMcBride, 50 Shades of STFU is a kinky play party and social event for femdoms and femme tops and the individuals who serve and worship them. We have been home at Sanctuary Club downtown since 2017.
In celebration of Mistress Viola’s birthday month and the new year, we encourage you to dress up in something sparkly, formal, or shiny. This is the perfect event for your latex, your bow tie, your stripped down tux, ball gown, favorite formalwear (dress code for men still applies), so sparkle up for us! And as it does every year in January, the annual CAKESIT shall occur, in which Ms. Viola sits on a cake and makes subbies eat it off. Wheee!
What happens at this infamous event? Performances begin around 9pm and we have now added tastings from 8pm-11pm (what are tastings? It’s a first come first serve sign-up sheet for short scenes with experienced dommes). Tastings are first come first serve and our lists do fill up! Tasters TBD.
We aim to create an inclusive space for LGBTQ, pansexual, queer, or straight submissives and their fem tops. If you’re a cis male dom this is really not the event for you. However, if you’re switchy and/or abide by the dress code you are welcome to join us!
The cost of this event has gone up to $20 to help support the guest-list spots, 10% of proceeds go to a monthly mutual aid org or charity, and to performers and staff for this event. BIPOC folks please reach out to [email protected] for a spot on the guest-list for free entry. If you are experiencing financial hardship or if cost is a barrier please reach out for a spot as well.
Are you looking to get involved, we have some volunteer positions available for both service subs and photo-booth attendants, fill out this form here and we will reach back out for this event or the next!
Playspaces, St. Andrews cross, semi-private areas, spanking benches, and hard points are available.
