Queer Gems Clothing Swap 💋 (by Femily)

How it works:

Pop by for 20 mins or bring a blanket/snack + soak in the scene the whole time.

  • Place your items on the swap quilt, browse other people’s cute stuff, try things on over your clothes, compliment strangers, and take home a few new treasuressss.
  • (There's no scheduled trading circle or group intros.)

What to bring

Up to 10 qualityyyy items (gems!) you’d be hyped to see another queer human wear to the trans or dyke march, a gay date, or a fancy queer nonprofit gala.

  • Instead of basics or your thrift store bag, bring: wild, badass, costumey, drag, butch, unique, hot, artsy, activisty, sparkly, animal print(!), rainbow, glorious, studly, high femme, genderbendy clothes + big accessories.
  • Size M and UP UP UP.
  • Clothing for all the genders imagineable. 🌈🏳️‍⚧️🦩

Hints

YES:

  • Kids/babies/teens: very welcome to attend with you. :)
  • Queer-curious + lbgtqai+ newbies + “late in life lbgtqs” very welcome. ☀️

NO:

  • No: barking dogs pls 😇.
  • No: tired basics, shoes, junk like broken tangled jewelry or random household objects we have to haul to the dump.
  • No thank you: body-bashing/age-shaming (aka: “i’m too old/big for this,” “muffin top,” etc). if something doesn’t fit, let's blame the clothing, not our bodiesssss 💋
