| Naked Painting Party at Gallery Bar | ||||
| You’re a humble admirer of the trinity: art, charity and nude body painting. So you’ll happily lend your material self to this good cause, aided by professional artists and an open bar. You’ll paint your gorgeous, uninhibited friends. They’ll paint you. We’re thinking the small of her back would be a nice place for some nihilistic Postimpressionism. | ||||

| Coco de Mer Launches Sex Classes | ||||
| You’ll always remember the heartwarming specifics of your first bondage experience (ah, the innocence of middle school). Still, at the first in this new series of sex classes, you’ll get a hands-on update in technique—body harnesses and beyond—from an instructor who wrote a book about it (we’re going to go ahead and call it the book). | ||||
