NO NEED TO RSVP. Just come by. :)
Find us: The address is an estimate - to get us to the part of the lake we'll be on; it's where Madison meets the lake on the city side of the lake, near "The Terrace Room."
How this swap/picnic works:
Pop by for 20 mins or bring a blanket/snack + soak in the sun + community the whole time.
- Just chill in the sun with queers folks... or
- Place your items on the swap quilt(s), browse other peopleโs cute stuff, try things on over your clothes, compliment kind queer strangers, and take home a few new treasuressss.
- (There's no scheduled trading circle or group intros.)
- Leave whenever. :)
What to bring
Up to 10 qualityyyy items (gems!) youโd 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. ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐ฆฉ
Hints
YES:
- Kids/babies/teens: very welcome to attend with you. :)
- Queer-curious + lbgtqai+ newbies + โlate in life lbgtqsโ very welcome. โ๏ธ
- Come even if you don't have anything to swap (we need people "taking" as much as we need people "giving").
- Allies are welcome - as long as you regularly spend time in queer community and feel at home in trans-affirming spaces. :) ๐ฉท ๐งก ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ฉต ๐ ๐ค ๐ค ๐ฉถ ๐ค
NO:
- No: barking dogs pls ๐.
- No: basics, shoes (unless incredibly likely to get taken), or junk like broken tangled jewelry or random household objects.
- No body-bashing/age-shaming (aka: โiโm too old/big for this,โ โmuffin top,โ etc). if something doesnโt fit, let's blame the clothing, not our glorious queer/trans bodiesssss of all sizes + shapes + heights + ages ๐
