MONTREAL STRIP SPELLING BEE - PUNK Edition!
WARNING: There may be nudity in this show.
The game is played a lot like strip poker, but it's a spelling bee, and it's played in front of a live audience of hooters, hollerers and hecklers who want to see some smart and sexy skin!
As this is our PUNK edition, any contestant who incorporates a costume, whether half-assed or high-end, will be looked upon more favourably by the judges.
Additionally, we are taking contestant sign-ups in advance! But we are limiting early sign-ups to HALF of the allotted ten spellers so that folks who want to sign-up at the last minute have room to join in on the mad spelling fun. Email inconsolablecat@hotmail.com with XDRESSBEE in the subject line if you are interested in signing up early!

★★★ MONTREAL SLOWDANCE - NIGHT IN WHITE Edition! ★★★
Friday, Dec. 4, 2015 at the MAINLINE THEATRE
RSVP here: https://www.facebook.com/events/111934915839382/
You are cordially invited to MONTREAL SLOWDANCE! NIGHT IN WHITE Edition! With a lending library of designated dancers for all you wallflowers, and a dancecard-booklet to set up dances in advance (should you choose to), Montreal Slowdance has all slow songs, all night long! (Except for the occasional intermission when we play the fastest songs we can find!)
It's high school with a happy ending. Come and experience why slow is beautiful, and why love is not ironic.
This event is MIXED and for EVERYONE: queer, straight, bi, poly, non-gender-binaried, those who identify as Complicated and those who are Late-Onset Awesome.
PS. Fabulous and inspired attire, while desired, is not required. But it would be AWESOME and HAWT and up your chances of being asked to dance! Since this is our NIGHT IN WHITE edition, we invite you to dust off your all-white outfits! A gentle reminder that while the personal IS political, we do not mean to suggest or imply any racial reading in the theme. For instance, last Slowdance was our Black Tie edition. These themes are purely for fun, so the dapper and fashion-conscious folks can have a loose guideline. If you are a former goth and don't have any white clothes, perhaps consider wearing something that glows. Wear a light!

RSVP here: https://www.facebook.com/events/455872611264701/
You are cordially invited to Toronto's QUEER SLOWDANCE! - BLACK, WHITE & GOLD Edition! With a lending library of designated dancers for all you wallflowers, and a dancecard-booklet to set up dances in advance (should you choose to), Toronto Queer Slowdance has all slow songs, all night long! (Except for the occasional intermission when we play the fastest songs we can find!)
It's high school with a happy ending. Come and experience why slow is beautiful, and why love is not ironic.
Fabulous and inspired attire, while desired, is not required. But it would be AWESOME and HAWT. As this edition is our FIFTH YEAR ANNIVERSARY, we encourage everyone to wear black, white or gold in celebration!
Finally, you do not have to be queer to attend this party, but you must have an open mind, an open heart, and have open arms. Do keep in mind that many of our attendees fall within the LGBTTIQ continuum and may or may not be interested in dancing with the 'opposite' sex, so if you are stridently & adamantly straight, this may not be the most receptive community for you.

This email list will become more and more important because every month, Facebook is REDUCING the number of invites I can personally send to folks on my friends list. They are reducing it every month because they are trying to turn a profit with their PAGES system, where they charge you so that your posts will show up in people's feeds. Already I have Facebook friends who aren't getting invites. I don't begrudge Facebook trying to turn a profit, but it's disappointing when they purposefully take away features and abilities to then try to charge you for them somewhere else.
Thanks to you for being part of this email list! It helps a lot!
