EROTIC MASSAGE WORKSHOP
2-4pm, taught by Dharma
Experience the power of sacred sexuality in this hands-on, clothes-off
workshop. We will practice the basics of breathwork and erotic massage
as taught by the Body Electric School, which can lead to extended,
full-body orgasm and an altered mind-state conducive to spiritual
insights. Now in its fifth year on the playa (and first at Comfort &
Joy!), the workshop focuses on the male body, though women can
participate as givers of massage.
Note: if you're looking to get off, this isn't for you — this is a
non-ejaculatory practice that stimulates and spreads erotic energy
through the body. It is very hot, but it isn't sex; there is no sexual
interaction between the giver and receiver except for the massage
itself, and boundaries will be respected. Come early; latecomers and
spectators will not be admitted, and we've had to turn people away
every year.

Then, immediately following the makeup workshop, work your new look on the streets of Black Rock City and let it all hang out on the always raucous “6th annual Romp of the Playa Hookers” rampage through Black Rock City…an experience that transcends the definition of Hot Tranny Mess.

6th ANNUAL ROMP of the PLAYA HOOKERS
5:00pm, leaving shorting thereafter
Immediately following the Makeup & Wig Workshop at Comfort & Joy, we hit the streets as Madame Hissy (aka HistErica), joins forces with the lovely ladies of the House of Love & the….um….”unique” ladies of the House of Hole as they serve as your fearless tour guides on the 6th ANNUAL ROMP OF THE PLAYA HOOKERS rampage through Black Rock City.
Everyone is welcome to this not-to-be-missed event that transcends the epitome of Hot Tranny Mess….on steroids! The wildly unpredictable Romp with this filthy pack of whores, pimps, and their trashy admirers makes Spain’s Running With the Bulls seem like a civilized walk in the park. This highly anticipated field trip into the depths of BRC is always a ridiculously hilarious adventure and a guaranteed rollicking good time. If you miss our 5 pm(ish) departure, you’ll eventually find us at the Deep End for our full blown tranny invasion of the beloved daytime disco rager, where there are also unconfirmed rumors of a guerilla-style takeover of the Deep End stage for a grand musical production drag spectacle.

Work out that new playa look at Comfort & Joy’s hands on interactive Bring Your Own Makeup and Wig Styling Workshop geared towards all levels. The seminar covers basic & advanced make up and wig styling techniques & tips ranging from subtle to dramatic to otherworldly with your hosts and seminar facilitators, glamourpuss HistErica and the House of Love beauties. Then, immediately following the makeup workshop, work your new look on the streets of Black Rock City and let it all hang out on the always raucous “6th annual Romp of the Playa Hookers” rampage through Black Rock City…an experience that transcends the definition of Hot Tranny Mess.

6th ANNUAL ROMP of the PLAYA HOOKERS
5:00pm, leaving shorting thereafter
Immediately following the Makeup & Wig Workshop at Comfort & Joy, we hit the streets as Madame Hissy (aka HistErica), joins forces with the lovely ladies of the House of Love & the….um….”unique” ladies of the House of Hole as they serve as your fearless tour guides on the 6th ANNUAL ROMP OF THE PLAYA HOOKERS rampage through Black Rock City.
Everyone is welcome to this not-to-be-missed event that transcends the epitome of Hot Tranny Mess….on steroids! The wildly unpredictable Romp with this filthy pack of whores, pimps, and their trashy admirers makes Spain’s Running With the Bulls seem like a civilized walk in the park. This highly anticipated field trip into the depths of BRC is always a ridiculously hilarious adventure and a guaranteed rollicking good time. If you miss our 5 pm(ish) departure, you’ll eventually find us at the Deep End for our full blown tranny invasion of the beloved daytime disco rager, where there are also unconfirmed rumors of a guerilla-style takeover of the Deep End stage for a grand musical production drag spectacle.
