Black Ties & Alibis NYE 2021

“You’ve got mail!”

My hand shook as I reached for my mouse. Only one contact is associated with that notification. I admit to being a bit of a romantic movie enthusiast.

“Anonymous has purchased you a guest ticket to the Black Ties & Alibis Gala at the Center for Sex Positive Culture on Friday, December 31st, 2021. Please arrive at 8:30 pm and await instructions from Anonymous.”

I felt the blood drain from my face as I suddenly felt a surge of blossoming heat elsewhere. Breathe. Okay, breathe deeper. What did I get myself into? Where is the website? There’s gotta be a website. There’s always a website, right? Ahhh...there it is!

Let’s just click on... everything! Hmmm... no ominous pictures of dirty places and rusty shackles. No porn website ads. Pretty classy actually. Hmmm... I watch too many movies.

You have mail…mail…mail!

You have an encrypted message in chat! (from Anon)

Anon: Did you receive my gift?

Anon: Will you be able to clear your evening?

Anon: Wear something sexy... no underwear.

Me: Anonymous?

Anon: Yes?

Me: How will I recognize you?

Anon: I will be the one biting your neck.

Me: ...Ummm...

Anon: With your prior consent, of course.

Me: This whole year and I’ve never met you in person. I don’t even know what you do.

Anon: That’s because I’m classified.

Me: So do I call you Mr. Anonymous in person or Sir?

Anon: You are assuming my gender, that’s cute. Do you have a preference?

Me: I never thought about that. What do I call you then?

Anon: The Japanese have a saying: “Sore wa, hi mitsu desu.”

Anon: It simply means “That is a secret.” Being respectful is a core tenant of my house.

Me: Much to unpack there.

Anon: Let me reassure you that we shall spend a glorious evening together- Enjoying mock-tails or the divination of a real Tarot reader. There will be professional DJs, dancing, a live auction and even rides on a Sybian.

Me: Is that some kind of horse?

Anon: Well I suppose we should leave some mysteries to be solved at the gala!

Me: I saw that there is a spy game called “Codenames”- If your codename is Anonymous- Could someone else have the same name?

Anon: I guess there may be more than one Anonymous- But figuring out who is the real one is could win you an awesome prize, that prize being our date. >:)

Anon: We will toast the New Year and your mission- should you choose to accept it- is to scene with me. Our first scene ever in the New Year! Let the negotiations begin!

Me: Bring it on, Anonymous! I’ve got a pair of sparkly new 5“ inch heels to break in!
