Blacklight Body Paint PDX

Let's do our part to keep Portland exxxtra weird (national news cameras are on PDX so let's live up to our reputation!).

Come connect with the playful, fun, sexy community around you! This will be a quality group of people to have fun with and express yourselves in a sexy, artistic, playful way.

Please read the new STI health testing notice below!

What: A sexy bit of fine ass art!  You can expect a house with every inch covered in black sheets, lit with a bright UV glow, and 50 painted, glowing, cavorting, giggling bodies rediscovering the joys of bright colors, painting sensations on your skin, and being silly in a sexy atmosphere of consenting, happy community.

Basically we all get together, start with a consent talk then socialize, body paint at whatever level of undress each individual is comfortable with(nudity is not required but is common), with a rule that there will be no sexual play until 10:30. The first half of the night is for body celebration, art, dancing, and socializing. The second half of the night past 10:30pm things get more explicit and anyone who sticks around should be comfy in a more sexual atmosphere. Connections made can be...expanded upon, floggers and paddles come out, hot wax drips, and you are welcome to be as sexy as you want in side rooms or in the main areas. Basically after 10:30 is an opportunity to expand your exposure to many new things in the kink and sexual realm. 

This invite is extended to you (and your partner). If there are additional people you'd like to add to the mix please put them in touch with me before sharing this page directly. This event has worked because of the wonderful people attending and I'd like to make sure we keep the quality of human most excellent (call that a comprehensive quality rating, not a flawless physical quality rating).

When: Friday and Saturday November 7th and 8th 7:00pm. Consent talk at 7:45 (mandatory). Painting and socializing with no overt sexual activity until 10:30 p.m., at which time attendees are welcome to get wild with connections made at the party.

Where: You will receive the address several days before the party in a separate communication. This will be held at a house 1 minutes north of the hwy 217/26 junction. 

Parking: Neighborhood street parking. Rideshare encouraged but there is decent parking at this house. 

Tickets: $50, on sale Sept 7th at noon.

Verification: If you are new to this party and have not video verified with me before YOU HAVE TO DO THIS BEFORE ATTENDING. Please make a plan to do so and let me know your preferred time, app and username (no FaceTime). I will cancel your ticket if you do not do this. You are BOTH required to verify if you are a couple. 

Single attendees: are welcome but I will allow a proportional number of solo men in relation to solo women. If you are attending as a solo male please contact me for approval ahead of time so the ratio is balanced. Men, you need to be top shelf in all respects in order to attend; there are too many of you to accomodate all.

What's Provided: Blacklights covering 2500ft² of house, several types of UV body paints, UV reactive hot wax, paint mixtures for a making drippy mess of those interested, bumpin house music, lots of snacks to keep you going till the wee hours, glow shibari rope, non-alcoholic beverages and sparkling water, cups, plates, silverware, some impact toys but feel free to bring yours as well.

Rooms: There are 2 rooms I can rent to out of towners. These will be available for 2 nights (I have the house all weekend so make a vacation of it!) Let me know if you'd like to rent one. ($70/night) Preference given to those renting for 2 nights and those volunteering.

What To Bring:

*BYOB for any alcohol

*A personal towel if you plan to shower

*Condoms & lube

*There will be no specific dress code, wear whatever you're comfy in. Neon glowy clothing/lingere is encouraged but it all seems to fall to the floor pretty quick!

*Sex toys and sensation toys!

*Illicit substances are not encouraged but may be present. Don't make it weird. Psychedelics in particular make it very challenging to gauge consent and read nonverbal signs in others. Please note that most substances are decidedly not great for male performance; choose wisely.  

RULES: 

Once everyone has arrived we will have a consent talk so that everyone understands what is acceptable and how to behave respectfully.  

* First and foremost, no means no, do not press further. Anything less than an enthusiastic yes is a no and this applies to BOTH halves of a couple. 

* This activity involves a lot of touching so ask for consent to paint/touch the person before beginning and if someone is uncomfortable, don't ask again. If you wish to paint intimate regions, please reaffirm consent before moving to those areas.

* There are many people here who are new to exhibitionism, sharing, and swinging. Please respect that some people are here to paint, not to swing or be particularly touchy with others outside of their partner. This is first and foremost a big, sexy art project, swinging is an optional fringe benefit for those who stick around after 10:30.

* If someone is being disruptive or rude and not honoring consent I will refund that person immediately and ask them to leave.

* We have a diversity of human here, please be open-minded to all walks of life and celebrate this diversity with your paintbrush!

* I am not going to police consumption of alcohol and whatever other substances but please do so in moderation. Please know your limits and do not exceed them. If you are obviously inebriated or making a scene because you can't handle your shit I will ask you to leave. You not consent when you are inebriated. 

* PHOTOGRAPHY.  At the first party I instituted a no photography rule for the entire night so that no one had to worry about photos being leaked. I was informed after the fact that most participants did indeed want to be able to take photos. It is my wish to allow photography provided no one else is in the photos without explicit consent. There will be a private side areas set up with black lights and tapestries so that you may sneak off and take all the dirty, kinky, sexy photos with your partner(s) you would like regardless of the main room policy. Reminder; consent to take photographs is not consent to share them later.

* Assume condoms/safe sex are required with any new partner unless you come to an explicit clear agreement otherwise. Gentleman, I have no patience for anyone unwilling to wear one or who takes them off mid way through. If you can't find a condom that fits and stays on properly you need to do some homework. 

*I am not going to directly manage STI testing for the entire party but there is an optional wristband for those testing immediately before the party.  Please have a sexual health talk with prospective partners every time. See the bottom of this page for more info on optional sti testing!

*Please be freshly showered, manage your body odor, and be generally well groomed.

*Hot glow wax play and the drippy paint mentioned earlier will be confined to a specific space and shower after is mandatory to avoid getting a mess all over the house. 

*PLEASE DO NOT bring or wear body glitter. It suuuuucks to clean up.

NEW STI TESTING CONSIDERATIONS

We're reserving wristbands for those who get tested by the guidelines below as an indicator of sexual health.

• Get a standard STI panel (HIV, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Syphilis, and Hepatitis B) within 1-2 weeks before the party (so you have time to get results) and meet virtually and privately with Ian or Gayle to show results to get your wristband at the party. 
• You can still absolutely attend if you don't get tested

Finally, I reserve the right to cancel and refund anyone’s ticket at any time for any reason I deem necessary to keep the art project a safe space. 

Thank you and I can't wait to see you soon! If you have any questions or challenges I can be reached on IG @trouble_pnw or i4ntrouble@gmail.com .
