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!

TORONTO QUEER SLOWDANCE - St-Patrick's EDITION! 
MARCH 12, 2016
RSVP HERE:
https://www.facebook.com/events/1141457195887302/
You are cordially invited to Toronto's QUEER SLOWDANCE! - St-Patrick's 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.
PS. Fabulous and inspired attire, while desired, is not required. But it
would be AWESOME and HAWT. Since this is our St-Patrick's edition, you
are encouraged to wear your most dapper, delightful and delicious
outfits, with a hint of green or gold.
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 LGBTTQ continuum and may or
may not be interested in dancing with the 'opposite' sex, so if you are
stridently straight, this may not be the most receptive community for
you.

★★★ MONTREAL STRIP SPELLING BEE - Vamps Edition! ★★★
MARCH 25, 2016
RSVP HERE: https://www.facebook.com/events/1166201706731119/
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 VAMPS edition, any contestant who comes in costume,
whether half-assed or high-end, will be looked upon more favourably by
the judges. A vamp is someone who is sexy and dangerously flirtatious,
who can charm people into doing what they want them to do. Dress like
that!
We are also taking contestant sign-ups in advance! But we are limiting
early sign-ups to HALF of the allotted ten spellers. Email
inconsolablecat@hotmail.com with VAMPSBEE in the subject line if you are interested in signing up early!

Thank
you SO MUCH for coming out and supporting quirky events this past year!
We can only continue to put on these intimate and odd experimental
events because you come out and you tell your friends what wacky thing
you did over the weekend and they were intrigued enough to come to the
next one. So thank you.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT:
CHAT PERDU PRODUCTIONS
creates stimulating, quirky, and all-natural events in Montreal &
Toronto. We like to put on events that are participatory and lovely.
Rather than ironic cool, we are after cat-belly warm. We like it when
the people who "attend" are also the people who "perform". We see events
as little experiments. We don't know what will happen & we do them
to find out. The ultimate goal of everything is for folks to forge new
friendships & to make life a little less lonely & manifestly
more lovely. LESS LONELY! MORE LOVELY! Take a chance on a Chat Perdu event!
