Whether you’re curious about experimenting with gender presentation, looking to refresh your wardrobe, or simply seeking community vibes, the Gender Blender Clothing Swap has something for everyone.
This inclusive event invites you to donate and discover clothing that allows you to play with gender expression in a judgment-free environment. Test out different looks, try on a wig, experiment with makeup, or just revel in the joy of self-discovery.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT? ✨
-A clothing swap with items for all styles and sizes – bring what you can, take what speaks to you!
-A gender-affirming makeup station with the options to make requests or let the makeup artist choose a look for you! Play with shadows and lines, try softening or hardening your jaw, or play with contours in your cheeks. Not sure where to start? Sara Bellum will be ready to help you with coat of nail polish or a full face of contour!
-A vibrant silent disco where you can choose your groove from three music channels so you don't have to yell over the music
-Community connections, delicious drinks, and a supportive atmosphere to relax and celebrate yourself.
WHAT SHOULD YOU BRING? 👠
-Gently used clothing, accessories, or shoes you’d like to donate or swap.
-An open heart and a playful spirit!
