NEW DATE: DECEMBER 18TH, SAME TIME, SAME PLACE

RSVP: tinyurl.com/theundressing

It began, as these things often do, quite late at night.

The manor had been quiet for hours. The staff long dismissed, the house belonged entirely to La Comtesse and her Lady's Maid, who had taken certain liberties with the parlor... and one another.

The Master was not expected back until morning, and neither woman had heard the carriage wheels on the gravel.

La Comtesse was in a certain state of undress, bound in her own silks as though they had always belonged there, wound through her stays and trailing from her wrists like ribbons on a gift not yet fully wrapped.

When the Master stepped into the dimly lit parlor, La Comtesse turned slowly, constrained by her Lady's Maid's careful work, and met his eyes the way one regards an unexpected guest at a dinner party one has been rather enjoying without them.

He set down his lamp and removed his coat.

"Forgive the interruption, Madame la Comtesse," he said, his eyes moving between the two women with considerable interest. "Though I confess I find the parlor considerably more inviting than I left it. Do carry on. I shall only watch."

A pause. The smallest smile.

"For now."

Welcome to The Undressing.

Inspired by the dress, decadence, and delicious indiscretions of an 18th-century Parisian salon, reimagined with a distinctly modern appetite for kink, rope, BD$M, and debauchery.

This Halloween, UNdress for the kind of evening polite society would rather not discuss.

What it is:

This is no historical reenactment. Take the fantasy and make it your own: extravagant, intimate, elaborately dressed and just as elaborately undone.

Here, multiple lovers, intimate friendships, and secrets-that-aren't-quite-secrets aren't scandal; they're sophistication. The performance of galanterie belonged to the front reception rooms. What happened in the back was everyone's open secret and nobody's public business.

Tonight, the lights are dimmed, the candles lit, and the evening is warm, unhurried, and generous with its pleasures.

What to expect:

At its heart are rope, bondage, and play. Bring your curiosity, your hunger, and your favorite jute.

No formal instruction or curriculum. If you've never done rope before, or are new at it, you're welcome to observe from a respectful distance and see what all the fuss is about.

This is a social evening and a play-possible party. Come to be seen, to connect, to watch, and, where invited, to touch, all within a culture of enthusiastic consent and mutual care.

What to wear:

Come dressed for an evening already in progress, caught beautifully somewhere between dressed and not.

Underbust corsets.

Stockings exposed.

Waistcoats open.

Gloves abandoned somewhere along the way.

Silk slips.

Suspenders and braces.

Unbuttoned shirts.

Garters.

A waistcoat with nothing beneath it.

Lace.

Riding attire in various states of disarray.

Bare skin.

The palette:

True Oxblood

Dark Leathers

Black Silk

Crisp Ivory

Aged Gold

...and the many shades and shapes of naked flesh

Undress exquisitely. Behave improperly.

Veuillez venir vous déshabiller.

ENTHUSIASTIC CONSENT is required for all touch and play at this event. It must be freely given, revocable, informed, engaged, and specific (FRIES).

Examples of enthusiastic consent:

"Can I give you a hug?" → "Yes! I'd love that!"

"Want to try (blank) together?" → "Absolutely, I've been wanting to try that!"

Examples of Non-Enthusiastic (or Absent/Unclear) Consent:

"Can I hug you?" → "...sure" or "...I guess."

"Are you okay to continue?" → "Mmm, whatever/I don't know..."

If you are uncertain whether enthusiastic consent has been given, treat that uncertainty as your answer. Consent has not been given.

It is always appropriate to pause and check in. You might say something like:

"How would you feel about taking a short break?"

"I want to make sure we're both fully on board... Can we pause for a moment?"

"I wasn't completely certain that was a full yes, so I'd like to stop and check in with you."

Pausing is never the wrong choice. It demonstrates care, self-awareness, and respect for everyone involved and creates space for an honest, comfortable conversation.

Do not assume anyone's presence implies availability.

Negotiate all scenes in advance. No up-negotiation during play.

Be mindful of those in active scenes or aftercare. Do not interrupt, crowd, or hover.

Wipe down any surfaces with disinfectant or degreaser where fluid/lube contact may have occurred. We will have Cavicide for disinfecting and isopropyl alcohol for lube degreasing.

We have on-site dungeon monitors to help maintain a safer space for everyone. If someone is lurking, hovering, or watching without actively participating in a scene, please report it to a dungeon monitor immediately. We take this seriously and will ask anyone violating this policy to leave.

Thank you for helping us protect and preserve this space for our community.

KINK.COM CODE OF CONDUCT - By purchasing your ticket(s), you agree to comply with the entire CoC:

Golden Rules

Treat one another with kindness and respect.

Leave the space better than you found it.

Consent

Consent is required for all touch and play at this event. It must be freely given, revocable, informed, engaged, and specific (FRIES).

• Never touch anyone without permission.
• Negotiate all scenes in advance. No up-negotiation during play.
• Do not assume anyone's presence implies availability.
• Do not join or interrupt a scene without invitation.
• If someone asks to be left alone, respect that immediately.
• Obtain explicit consent before photographing or involving others in your scenes.

Privacy and Discretion

What happens here stays here. Treat all information about attendees and activities as confidential. Do not "out" anyone regarding their identity, orientation, kinks, or attendance.

Community Care

Don't yuck someone's yum. This means respecting that others may have different kinks, interests, and ways of expressing themselves. What isn't your thing may be someone else's joy. Keep negative reactions, comments, or judgments about others' consensual interests to yourself. This is an LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC-inclusive space. Everyone is expected to show up with respect and care for others. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for:

• Discrimination or bias based on race, gender, sexuality, disability, or body size.
• Harassment, intimidation, coercion, bullying, or unwanted advances.
• Non-consensual behavior of any kind.
• Misgendering, deadnaming, or invalidating anyone's identity.

Intoxicants & Altered States

We do not sell or serve alcohol at this venue.

We recognize that substances affect capacity to consent, and we prioritize everyone's safety. If you appear unable to give or receive clear consent, a host may check in with you privately. Continued concern may result in being asked to pause play or step outside. This is never a punishment, but a community care measure. Our priority is keeping everyone safe and able to enjoy the space.

Health and Hygiene

• Please stay home if you are feeling sick or experiencing symptoms.
• Be scent-aware: avoid heavy perfumes, colognes, or strongly scented products.
• Be thoughtful and considerate of all bodily odors when attending and throughout events. Come prepared, as personal hygiene is your responsibility. If you need basic hygiene supplies, please ask a host.
• Respect others' disclosed allergies or sensitivities.

Respect the Space

Treat staff, hosts, and the venue with care and courtesy. Return any equipment to its proper place and report any damage or safety concerns to a host immediately.

• Wipe down any surfaces where fluid contact may have occurred.
• If you need cleaning or disinfecting supplies, please ask a host.

Scenes and Play

• Be mindful of those in active scenes or aftercare. Do not interrupt, crowd, or hover.
• Respect established play areas, furniture, and equipment; ask a host before using anything unfamiliar.
• Any play considered edge play must be disclosed in advance to event hosts. This includes rope suspension, any form of breath restriction, electrical play, and similar high-risk activities.
• Allow adequate space between scenes and bystanders.

Safewords

Agree on safewords before any play begins.

• "Red" or "Safeword" will immediately stop a scene. Alert hosts if necessary.
• "Yellow" (or equivalent) indicates a limit or request to reduce intensity.
• If verbal safewords are not possible, establish a clear nonverbal signal in advance. For example, three deliberate head shakes as a "no" signal, or dropping a held object.
• Honoring a safeword is non-negotiable. Ignoring one is a serious violation.

Safer Sex

• Communicate openly and honestly about STI status when relevant.
• Safer sex supplies will be available when needed.
• Respect others' safer sex boundaries and practices without question or pressure.

Safety Monitors & Dungeon Monitors

Dungeon Monitors (DMs) and hosts are here to support safety and consent. They have final say and may stop any scene. Please:

• Inform DMs or hosts in advance of any edge or atypical play.
• Follow their instructions promptly and without argument.
• Seek them out immediately if you witness any consent violation.
• Be patient; they may be attending to another matter.

Phones and Photography

No photography, video, or audio recording is permitted unless explicitly stated otherwise for a specific event. Keep your phone stored and screens dimmed in play areas. Violations of this policy are taken extremely seriously.

Aftercare

Aftercare is a vital part of responsible BDSM play. Check in with your play partners following a scene. Be mindful that aftercare needs vary; some may need space, others physical comfort, or time to decompress. Hosts may have a designated aftercare area or resources available. Please ask if you need support.

Newcomers & First-Timers

We welcome people who are new to events like this. If you're unsure about anything, ask a host. No question is too basic. We encourage experienced community members to be patient and welcoming mentors, not gatekeepers.

Concerns and Reporting

If you witness or experience a consent violation or safety concern, please speak with a host or event representative immediately. All reports will be handled with discretion and taken seriously. You will be believed and supported. You may also email dusty@kinkstore.com if you wish to remain anonymous. We are committed to accountability and learning.

Consequences for Violations

Violations of this code of conduct may result in:

• A verbal warning from a host or DM.
• Being asked to stop a scene or activity.
• Being asked to leave the event immediately.
• Being banned from future events.

Serious violations involving non-consent will result in immediate removal and may be reported to relevant community networks.

We welcome guests with all access needs and encourage you to reach out in advance so we can accommodate you. This includes communication access needs such as ASL or kink-friendly interpretation services for educational events, which typically require advance booking.

COVID & Other Contagious Illnesses: Safer-Play Policy

Our events are for people who recognize the ongoing risks of COVID and other contagious illnesses and are willing to take precautions for one another, especially to protect immunocompromised members of our community. Please consider whether this approach aligns with yours before attending.

Under our event policy, please do not attend if you:

• Are sick or experiencing any symptoms, even if your COVID test is negative.
• Have tested positive for COVID within the past 10 days.
• Have had a known exposure to COVID within the past 5 days.

COVID testing is strongly encouraged, though not required.

Molecular tests, including PCR and other NAAT tests, are generally more sensitive than rapid antigen tests. A rapid antigen test is another practical option, but a single negative result does not rule out infection.

Follow your test’s instructions for repeat testing. FDA guidance recommends:

• With symptoms: If your first antigen test is negative, repeat it 48 hours later, for at least two tests total.
• Without symptoms: If your first antigen test is negative, repeat it 48 hours later and again 48 hours after that, for at least three tests total.

If you have symptoms despite a negative rapid test, consider a molecular test or contact your healthcare provider. Please stay home while experiencing symptoms, regardless of your test result.

KN95 masks or better are encouraged, though not required, and are available free at every event. Please ask a house manager if you would like one.

Wearing a mask does not replace our requirement to stay home if you are sick. If you are ill, please do not attend, even if you plan to wear a mask.

Testing resources for San Francisco attendees

• UCSF Health–GoHealth Urgent Care: Offers rapid molecular testing at Bay Area locations. A provider visit is billed with testing, so check your insurance coverage and costs before booking.
• Medi-Cal at-home test access: Ask a participating pharmacy’s pharmacist about covered COVID tests and present your Medi-Cal card. Coverage and quantity limits apply.
• California COVID testing coverage information: Commercial plans regulated by DMHC must cover at least eight tests per member per month; regulated Medi-Cal plans must cover up to four. Check your plan’s process and use in-network providers to avoid possible charges.
• San Francisco assistance: Call 311 for help finding city services, including testing resources. Confirm current availability, eligibility, and costs before visiting.
• FDA test expiration-date lookup: Check whether your test’s expiration date has been extended before using it.
