Description:
Have you ever walked by a clown and heard a deep, slow chuckle that simultaneously curled your toes and yet your inner squee goes, “Yum!” uh what? A hand slips low in your hair along the base of your neck and squeezes just right. Your breath catches in your throat.
Clowns & Claws Rawr feeds your inner primal needs found around the grounds of a circus. A whip cracking lane for long whips and demos! A mat area for those primally inclined animals with human bodies. (No shoes on the mats.) Wear your favorite costumes, furry ears/tails/paws, no matter what the costume’s theme! (NOTE: please no glitter or feathers or peanuts.) Surprise announcements to come!
Please know that all play and members are welcome even if you do not participate in the theme. Come have fun and watch the rest of us trip the fantastic as we skip on the yellow brick road to Wonderland. Yes, we mixed metaphors!
Our staff wants to help you succeed so email ahead to scene on the stage or set up a special setting! specialevents@thecspc.org Sign up for that secret pleasure on the Pick Up Play Board and see who answers. This party caters to those lesser known fetishes!
