Bespoke Rope: Shape, Proportion, and Tailoring Your Ties

24. April 2025, 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm

Have you ever had the magical experience of finding a store where the clothes fit like they’re made exactly for you? Or (on the flip side) an existential dread evoked by the phrase “Shopping For Pants”?

The harnesses we tie are basically rope clothes. Let’s talk about how (and how not) to make smart selections to help you find your fit before you even try them on.

Who is this event for?

LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid, queer, intersex, asexual, aromantic, agender.

Friends describes people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respectful of the necessity, needs, and boundaries of a queer safe(r) space and its marginalized community.

When you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgement to and are respectful of everyone’s self-expression and do not assume, presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others. You actively request and use people’s chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender straight privileges.

Friends don’t have to be perfect. None of us are. We request that we all pro-actively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
