 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!
