When July hits, we know we're in the summer months. The days are long and hot and the nights are not long enough! We here at SHE are thinking of you! Whatever you were wearing for the day, come to the party in it. Cut offs and tank top? Not problem! High powered pant suit? Go with it! Just a pair of leather chaps and not much else? We may be curious to know what your daytimes are like, but we're good with that too. The night is all about relaxing and sex, so don't worry about what to wear because by the end of the evening, we're hoping it all comes off anyway!

SHE Attendance Policy:

• This party is for all women.
• By entering this party, you agree that you identify as female.
• We reserve the right to respectfully and politely ask you for clarification if there is a question with regard to your gender presentation.
• We also reserve the right to respectfully and politely ask you to leave, if we feel that you do not meet our attendance criteria, or if your presence is disruptive to the event.

While we know that SHE partygoers are quite attached to our humble little party, we also know that you can't always make SHE, or that you may want to expand your horizons by meeting up with similar-minded women outside of SHE. Or perhaps you're interested in conferences that mesh nicely with the SHE attendees' needs.

For that reason, there is now a section of our blog sidebar for Other Events SHE Endorses. These include other play parties, social gatherings, and conferences, and will be updated as we find more events you might want to check out. Plus, you might meet someone new and bring them to SHE some time...!

Feel free to contact us if you know of an event that should belong here!

We who organize and run the SHE parties have always been happy to hear our attendees commenting on the wonderful time they had, or how much they love the party in general. But we recently received what I consider to be the best testimonial I've yet seen for SHE:

As a visitor to Seattle who's never been to CPSC, SHE, or even Seattle itself, I wanted to say I had a great time at the party. I really enjoyed the socialising which I've not experienced at play parties elsewhere. As someone who knew almost no one there, it really made me feel much more comfortable about being there, going topless (I really was much too warm, honestly), and being noisy in a scene. ahem

That sums things up very nicely indeed! It hasn't been explicit to date, but the friendliness of our party is one of the reasons why SHE has been so successful. The woman who wrote the above is shy and had concerns that she wouldn't know anyone, let alone find someone to play with. Thanks to the atmosphere we've cultivated by being so social, we've made it easier for her--and many others!--to explore and embrace their sexuality, and that's a wonderful gift. We're honored to be able to provide this and hope you are eager to join us if you never have before!

(And yes, as a footnote, it was a bit warm last time. Not that we'd turn up the heat to encourage people to disrobe or anything like that.... ahem )

If you go into the woods today
You're in for a big surprise
If you go into the woods today
You won't believe your eyes!

Does it thrill you when your Mother Goose gets cooked? Have a bodice in need of ripping? Want to feel big teeth against your little red riding hood? Or do you just need to get your Alice on? Whatever your story, we've got a fable-ous evening planned!

SHE Presents: Twisted Fairy Tails
Friday, May 21, 2010
CSPC Annex

This May the SHE Team invites Puss-In-Boots, butch Hansels and femme Gretyls (and vice-versa!) and all wicked stepmothers to cavort with fey and imps, and even a dragon or two! Never mind the breadcrumbs, you'll want to become lost in our forest of delights! Got some gothy or Ren Faire or RPG costume you don't get to wear often? Let some fairy aire settle into those garbs and become part of the fantasy tonight!

PLUS: Join us early as our own delightful diva Beca demonstrates Midori's Rope Dance! In this rope dance the top uses rope and centrifugal force to corral, direct, spin and dance with their bottom. It's a wonderful way to amp up energy for rope work, to connect with your partner, to loosen a nervous bottom, and for general play! You'll not want to miss out!

And remember, SHE has no dress code, so if you just want to come as you are, relax, and play, you're always welcome!

We're going to be setting up a little photography area in the alcove of the Annex. I'll be there with my camera and strobes for people who are interested. My goal is for you to walk out the door with a CD of pictures.

In the past several months the SHE Team have heard a sad, common refrain: "I really want more toys but I'm on a budget!" We feel your pain. Which is why, in honor of Washington State Leather Pride Week...

SHE Presents: Roll Your Own--D.Y.I. B.D.S.M.
Friday, March 19, 2010
CSPC Annex

Come join us during our social hour for a show-and-tell discussion on pervertables--common, everyday objects readily converted to kinky uses! Bring your favorite pervertable and tell us why you picked it out! We'll also discuss things to look for in general when buying pervertables.

Then, at the beginning of the party, watch a demo and mini workshop on making keychain floggers--they're easy, fast, fun-to-make, and you can make it exactly the way you want! Bring some rope, cord, tubing, ribbon--the sky's the limit! Then stick around while we try out our creations and pervertables on one another! 

PLUS: In honor of Washington State Leather Pride Week, this month's SHE party will be open to non-CSPC-members, without the requirement that they be sponsored by a member. Contact she@sexpositiveculture.org for a Guest Consent Form. Bring it to the party with you and you will be allowed entrance without CSPC membership or sponsorship.

This promises to be an extremely fun night, so we hope to see you there!

We welcome the women of the CSPC regardless of the gender marker on their photo identification card.*

SHE Presents: Red Light--The Glow Of Lust!
Friday, February 19, 2010
CSPC Annex

After the annual day of romance, let's cast aside the roses and heart shaped boxes, and celebrate SEX!

Join us for an evening of fantasy role play and secret desires. Allow the SHE team to transport you to the streets and alleys of the mind, a world where all your fantasies can come true. Break out of those Winter doldrums by wearing red on February 19th and help us put February 14th to shame! Put some color in your wardrobe--and in whichever cheeks you desire!

PLUS: Wild At Heart will be vending select items to help make the best of the ambiance--and of your sexy, scarlet night!

We hope to see you there, with your red on!

It's only a few days until the next SHE party, and our Fire And Ice theme is coming along nicely. Our demonstrators--tops and bottoms--are getting ready to show you the ins and outs of fire play, ice play, and wax play, and then to happily dispense tastings to the curious! We're all set to take advantage of the RAW Space for edgier impact play--but of course we wouldn't be SHE if there wasn't ample space for snuggling and... other things... in the Annex proper!

We're also excited about having a New Member Orientation just before SHE! So if you have been putting off membership at CSPC, Friday night would be a wonderful time to join in the fun, ladies!

And remember--get there before 10 PM and get $5 off admission!

Looking forward to seeing all of you there!
