Holiday Hours at the Spa

I'm amazed that August is almost done! Suddenly I find myself awash in back to school activities and end of the summer vacation plans.

Just a note to let you know that the Spa is open regular hours the Labor Day weekend, except that Sunday and Monday is by advance appointment only. I won't be answering the phones on either of those days. But if you schedule an appointment, we'll be there for you! If you don't schedule, we will take our time off to celebrate the achievements of American laborers by indulging in leisurely activities.

Ladies' Night will go on, as usual, without me. Courtnee will host from 7pm - 10pm at the Spa. I want to remind you that this will be the last week of summer hours. Starting September 8th, Ladies' Night will adopt winter hours of 6pm - 9pm. Same cost of $10 entry fee and an additional $10 for a short massage.

Courtnee is away for the weekend, so I will be hosting this Sunday's Couple's Night. We have a wonderful dessert to share with you that Kim made special for a private dinner on Friday. It was so incredible that he offered to make it for me to offer at Couple's Night. It is a caramel and nut tulle filled with chocolate mousse and on a bed of naked truffle sauce.

new session?

I have a friend who is a certified hypnotherapist come in for a watsu session. He was impressed with how comforting and relaxing an experience it was, despite him not being much of a "water person." He likened it to the deep state of relaxation that he had only ever been able to achieve via hypnosis.

We had a brief discussion about how well the two therapies, watsu and hypnosis, could work together. The idea of being able to get someone into a more advanced state of relaxation is interesting to me, to say the least. While he is excited about being able to do accelerate subconscious work with the added benefit of the person already being relaxed via floating in warm water. Perhaps there will be a collaboration in the future.

Private Massage Party for Men on 8/31

Our friend, David is renting out the spa for another massage class and party. The last one was a wonderful event and I am pleased he is choosing to use the spa to put on another one. If would like the full event description or you are interested in attending, please email him directly: dastardly.deeds.david at gmail.com

Backrubs and Frontrubs is a clothing optional oasis where we revel in all manner of tactile delights. It is our pleasure to provide one-one-one massage instruction to every guest. The party is August 31 from 7-11 PM but the hot tub will stay open until midnight.

The party will begin with massage education. You may arrive as early as 7 PM for social hour, but please arrive before 7:30 PM if you want to hear the main educational lecture. This party is for those 18 years of age or older, please.

The party/class cost is $30, but volunteers get in for free (and volunteering is a great way to meet other sexy people). RSVP's are required, as space is limited. You may request more information, get added to the email list, or RSVP, at dastardly.deeds.david at gmail.com.

Peace and pleasure,
David

I would love to see other educational and/or community building events held at the spa. Please consider this as a venue if you are planning an event!

Where did summer go?

I woke up to a thunderstorm this morning. It was dramatic and wet. in my email box was an eerie and beautiful photo of lightening streaming down in front of purple clouds in a pre-dawn sky. I am truly thankful for the chance to remember that there is beauty in everything, even scary thunder and lightening storms.


We ran out of salt glow yesterday and I was faced with the decision of whether to make more of the pineapple or create a new recipe. Ultimately, summer isn't over so I stuck with the pineapple, and intensified the essential oil component for fun. The symbolism of tying the scrub to the seasons made me loath to move forward toward fall too quickly.

Today is a quiet day at the spa, and if you are looking for a last minute appointment, I just had a 1:30pm slot open up. So this is your chance if you are the type who never knows their schedule. Tomorrow is still quite open, too.

Tonight is Ladies' Spa Night, 7pm - 10pm. Hope to see you here!

A quiet seeming week...

I am trying to keep on top of all the fun stuff we have going on at the Spa, as well as Little Red Studio in general. There is apart of me that wants to keep a regular schedule, but most of me would rather not have a ridged posting schedule. Hopefully, you will bookmark the LRS calendar to keep track of all the good stuff going on.

This Saturday, the 16th, marks the last date of the White Show. If you haven't had a chance to see it yet, you definitely don't want to miss this light-hearted, funny and sweet show!

The wearing of white between Memorial Day and Labor Day brings up many memories of decades past and societal mores. Summer beach vacations, sprinkled with lavish parties and secret rendezvous, entice us to remember our own days and nights of coming out and to peel off the layers of winter to see what's peeking at us underneath...

In bygone eras of our history and of our lives, we remember that moment when innocence was lost, while so much more was yet to be discovered.

White or light colored clothing is encouraged.

Please arrive between 8:30 and 9:00 at our offices and gallery at 406 Dexter Ave. N. and we will escort you over to the main space as we prepare to begin the evening.

Where: 750 Harrison Street
How Much: $30
Tickets can be purchased in advance at Brown Paper Tickets or reserved by calling (206) 328-4758

On Sunday the 17th, we are offering Men's Spa Night.

Men's Spa Night - 1st and 3rd Sundays!

These nights are designed to be a casual and social evening. Richard Jessup will be present to make you feel welcome and facilitate use of the spa's equipment. There will be areas set up for clay, salt scrubs and massage for you and your friends to pamper each other. For an extra fee, one can get a short massage or watsu during the evening.

An unusual circumstance.

Unusual in the sense that it is a link that is not all that work safe.

While this is not directly related to the Spa, it does touch on many things in how our culture approaches sexual expression that is considered nonconformist. This is a story worth reading if you consider yourself sex positive and want an opportunity to help change attitudes on a small scale.

This really struck a cord in me as a mother who only wants the best for her child, as it is obvious that Catalina Loves does, too.
