Hot Tomato Pick of the Week
On January 4, 2017 by hottomatopinupacademy8MOV Red Tent
Okay..actual quotes from me, Jesse Hyde earlier this fall when Cat I asked if Hot Tomato would like to be involved.
“Wait, is this one of those events where white ladies pretend they’re in a sweat lodge?”
No, no! It’s a gathering for women to reconnect to their authentic selves and celebrate being women.
“Hmm..we don’t all have to menstruate into the same bowl or anything, right?”
Good Lord, Hyde…
“IT’S AN HONEST QUESTION!!”
No, we are definitely NOT going to do that.
“Can we set up a Parlor and have drink specials and play Cards Against Humanity?”
Absolutely.
“Really?”
Yes, really.
“Okay, we’re in!”
So…I went to a meeting last night to discuss in detail how we would fit in. Since I can’t exactly speak to what everyone else is offering, I will tell you about what you will experience in the Hot Tomato corner {oh yes, I totally made sure we were in a corner.”} You’re welcome.
First off, we are an adult women only area even though the rest at large is a girls 12 and up space. Women that enter the tent with an alcoholic beverage will be pointed to our corner to enjoy it inside the tent.
My vision for the inside is inspired by the “Companion” room on Firefly. More gypsy boudoir than primitive sweat lodge. Currently looking for a tent chandelier 😉
As for the experience, we plan to operate like we do in our Parlor. We will welcome you warmly and give you what you need. A break, an escape, a chat, a shot, a shoulder to cry on, a board game partner, a nap, a hug, a belly laugh…whatever. You can pop in and finish your cocktail or stay the whole day! We look forward to seeing many familiar faces and meeting all kinds of new ones.
Bring a friend or come alone and meet them in the tent.
You’re welcome. You’re honored. You’re accepted.
…and you don’t have to chant and shit like that.
PROMISE.
