SUMMARY:House of Kink: No Boys Allowed - a sexy slumber party
DESCRIPTION:The leading ladies of House of Kink are delighted to introduce Ottawa to a whole new event series called “No Boys Allowed” (NBA). NBA parties are bi+ events that aim to cultivate a safe and welcoming environment for women and other individuals with non-cis-male gender identities to authentically express their sensual and sexual selves\, connect and engage in erotic energy together\, and explore their curiosities. NBA parties are explicitly welcoming to folks who identify as women or non-cis-male identities (including trans\, and/or nonbinary). \n\n\n\n*Bi+ meaning catering to bi-sexual and bi-curious women and other individuals with non-cis-male gender identities\, but also inclusive of queer\, pan\, lesbian\, sapphic\, omni and other multisexual identities. \n\n\n\nThese dance events offer a safe environment for flirtation and playfulness without the feeling of pressure or predatory behaviour that can sometimes come from the cis-male gaze. We welcome women and individuals with non cis-male gender identifies from all backgrounds and of all body types at NBA events. \n\n\n\nThis first NBA event has a special theme: SLUMBER PARTY! Put on your sexiest sleepwear and come out to Charlotte where you will dance the night away to dreamy musical beats made by local women DJs – ALAMUSIC and MADISON. \n\n\n\nThere will be a number of mingling activities available to help you connect with others\, including a bracelet-making station\, a spin-the-bottle station\, and a kinky hair play station. \n\n\n\nCharlotte’s mixologists (all women) will also be whipping up a custom cocktail list just for our community. \n\n\n\nOnce you purchase your ticket\, keep an eye out on your email where we’ll be sending you the sexy secret password! \n\n\n\nEvent Rules \n\n\n\nWe ask that you please carefully read the following before the event. \n\n\n\n\nThis event is for women and non-cis-male gender identities only. [Don’t worry\, more HoK parties that are open to everyone are coming soon]!\n\n\n\nDress Code – Slumber party theme (though kinky/fetish attire is always welcome). If you are unsure of what to wear\, please DM the HoK team.\n\n\n\n\nWe have created a Pinterest board to help inspire you: \n\n\n\nSexy slumber party: sexy PJs\, lingerie\, etc. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlways ask for clear\, enthusiastic and ongoing consent before any physical contact or activity.\n\n\n\n\n\nPublic sex and exposed genitals are not permitted on the premises.\n\n\n\n\n\nPersonal kinky tools/toys (e.g.\, whips\, floggers) are not permitted at the event.\n\n\n\nPersonal photography: there will be a designated photography safe zone at the event.

SUMMARY:Naked Boys Reading: “And All That Jazz!” (The Musical Theatre Show)
DESCRIPTION:We are committed to body positivity and diverse representation. The line-up of readers for each show is usually a mix of new and returning readers. We strive to reflect the diversity of our communities at every show. Our success is partially dependent upon the availability of readers. \n\n\n\nWe regret that the venue is inaccessible to some people. It is on the second floor of the building and accessible only via stairs. Non-gendered washrooms are available. \n\n\n\nDoors will open at 7:00 pm. We cannot admit anybody prior to 7:00 pm. The show will begin at 8:00 pm sharp. Seating is first come\, first served: The sooner you arrive\, the better the view you’ll have. \n\n\n\nIf you’re attending as a party of three or more people\, it is best to arrive early — by 7:30 pm — to find seating together. \n\n\n\nNBR shows usually sell out in advance\, so we strongly recommend advance ticket purchase\, without delay\, to avoid disappointment. If you’re unable to pay online\, or if the ticket price is a financial barrier for you\, please contact us: ottawa@nakedboysreading.ca
