Passive Arts Tickle Parties

[LadyElizabeth]

We have had many requests for the Tickle Parties..and after much thought I decided to put them into affect...in order to do this I had to cancel an evening shift and stop having other specialized parties....

Unfortunately the turnout and support is not what I had hoped for...considering the many requests I received I thought that the tickle community would give us more support in this endeavor...

We will be having one more party in November on the 15th to be exact and if the turnout has not improved I will have no choice but to cancel the future parties...🙁

L.A.'s a bit of a drive for me, but if there was ever one up in Seattle, you bet I'd show my support.

 

[Brooklyn]

Seattle?

I heard that there are bunch of places in Seattle. Is it true?

 

[MrTicklefeet]

Tickle parties in Seattle? I haven't been able to find them. Even Gatherings NW listings is a barren desert compaired with the east coast. I'm just on the wrong coast.

whats your email address?

 

[Phineas]

I'd probably show my support if I A) didn't live on the opposite coast and B) had that sort of money to blow on this. but alas.

I commend you for trying, though.

 

[TicklishPhoebe]

For those of you who can make it to LA and want to come to a tickle party, please do make the effort...The parties are great fun, and a chance to get to know some of your fellow ticklers and lees.

We all talk about supporting the community and how great it is, but for those of us who are on the business end of things (no pun intended), support is more than just typing words or calling on the phone and telling us how great you think the effort is... I'd hate to see these parties discontinued due to low turnout...

Think about what Lady E is doing.. she's closing the ENTIRE place ALL NIGHT just for us. I'm amazed that we managed to talk her into it at all (I think part of the reason she agreed to it was because she was tired of listening to the pleading), and I'd hate to see it die because no one wanted to come and play.......

Lady E has even agreed to change the date of the next party from November 15th to November 22 in order to accomodate folks who told her they wouldn't be able to make it on the 15th, but wanted to come..

We're all doing our best to make these parties successful, but we live in a democracy, and if no one shows, Well, then..... there won't be any more..

I know a lot of you aren't able to make it for a lot of really good reasons, but, again... if you are able to make it, please make an effort...

AND, as far as I know, there are no other parties like this at any commercial dungeon anywhere.

I live in LA, but I cannot justify spending that kind of money. Maybe when I get six figure salary I'll think about it.

 

[Tickler Bart]

I live in Florida, but I went to the July party. I may have to make a special trip JUST to attend what might be the last one. I hope the turn out is better to keep it alive.
I'll try to make it in from Florida. I want to move to L.A. JUST because of Passive Arts Tickle Night.
Come on guys (and ladies).
We complain, bitch and moan how there is no place to indulge in our tickle and foot fetishes. (I know I have)
Well, HERE it is people. DON'T screw this up.
There are plenty of people that live in Los Angeles that's into this fetish. the same people that attend the 'Gatherings' can attend the one night a month at Passive Arts too.
Maybe some of the woman from Passive Arts would come to a 'gathering'.
I want Passive Arts Tickle Night to remain and I don't even live on the West Coast.
Ok, I've rambled on way too long.

phoebe and bart...i live in ohio, but i would be willing to pay to fly out for one day for a tickle party...but there would have to be more there than just the PA ladies...if there were a few fetish models there that you otherwise would never get the chance to tickle for that little money, then id be there in a heartbeat. however, if its just PA ladies, i would be much more interested in the 1/2 price private session night. i have heard how the tickle parties are, and everything is out in the open. i prefer private one-on-one sessions.

however, if i DID live in LA, i would probably attend just for the hell of it. it would still be fun, but not as enjoyable without the outside stars. im sorry that lady e got jacked around by these women that said theyd be there and then bagged out. i think it would have made the interest a little higher. i am sorry about it going away though.

 

[SkilledTickler]

I have to sound off on one of my favorite times of the year, now on the endangered species list. In addition to all those who have posted before, all of whom put it more eloquently than I ever could, I have to say for all to hear that these parties are out of this world great. I have been afforded the opportunity to meet several members of this forum, which would would not have otherwise come my way. I have had many of my most enjoyable and memorable tickling experiences at these parties.

To my knowledge, there never has been and other than the PAS tickle parties, there is not now another commercially available event like this for us as there is for spankers and foot people anywhere else.

To those of you who go to gatherings on a semi-regular basis, is this really so much different? Is the expense, travel arrangements, etc. really that much different? A lot of people living on the west coast have bemoaned the fact that there is little, if anything, in the way of gatherings or any event of any kind for the tickling community. Well, here it is, and all that is being asked is for the house to break even and the staff to make enough to make it worthwhile to give up a Saturday night to attend; in my personal - and arguably biased - opinion only, a small price to pay to keep it going. The events that so many say they want are here and happening. What will possibly be the last one will take place in a little over two months time. If they wind up going by the wayside, we will have nobody to blame for that but ourselves for not supporting what we have asked for.

So come on out. Barton, if there is any way possible, I hope to see you out here for the festivities; it will good to see you again. And bring your toothbrush!

Check your private message. If you know of such parties in or around Seattle, I'd love to be enlightened.

 

[TklrJoe]

Phoebe, so which is it, Nov. 15 or Nov. 22? I need to know so I can set it in stone. I'll be there!

 

[seattletickler]

Tada maybe a solution?

Hey mrtickles I live up in bellingham! Maybe along road trip?

 

[MrTicklefeet]

Re: Tada maybe a solution?

Hey mrtickles I live up in bellingham! Maybe along road trip?

If I hadn't already burned up my vacation time, and funds last onth before summer dissapeared, that could have been possible. However, L.A. is still a bit of a trip, and soething local is bound to happen sooner or later. I know they're out there.
One question I have, if your the SeattleTickler, and your area says Seattle, How'd you end up living way up there in Bellingham?

 

[TickledToDeath]

Lady Eliz and Ticklish Phoeb,

Hi again ladies,

Whilst I really wish shygirl and I could get on out there to the left coast, like I have regretfully mentioned before, at this time it is just not possible.🙁 😡 🙁

Not that an appearance of shygirl and myself will bring in tickle lovers in droves so having us there will bring in .... 2 more, lol.

I do have this quiry.

How exactly are the parties runned?
Is there a "cover" charge and the door? ( I presume yes on this)
Do guests pay for time tickling or being tickled in addition to the cover charge?

How are things orchestrated at and during the "party"?

Normally,
Is Passive Arts a pay by the hour or so establishment where say, one would pay for a session with Ticklish Phoebe or another Mistress etc.?

When I brought this up before, a TMF member told me of a few places here in NYC like, "Den of Iniquity"...."Hidden Chamber". Those places are, Dungeons where you pay for hour long sessions. They are not like S/M B/D Fetish Clubs where you pay a cover charge to get in and you just play at will with other guests of the establishment.
There are Mistresses there and other Doms both male and female and players do not have to 'Pay' for time with the one or ones' they play with.

The Dungeons I mentioned above do not have "Parties" such as you ladies at PA. At least to the best of my knowledge, they don't. I am sure you can rent out the Dungeon and throw your own Tickle Party, but I am sure the cost of that, along with the cost of individual sessions with the Mistresses and Submissives there, would be quite expensive.

Even the Clubs, such as "Paddles" and "Hellfire" in NYC(Hellfire is way hard core S/M and is...less than suited for a Tickle Party and definitely would not close down for such either, those places would not close the establishment for the night for any Speciality Party.
The most I have seen is "Paddles". They will let ya have the place to yourselves from , I think, 7pm to 10pm, after 10, the doors open to the general public and the club returns to "normal".

I sincerely doubt also that a primary tickle club such as described above, will have any success.
I have been working on something along those lines but more laid back and of a "Social Club" nature, with the Hyenas Club I run/have but that is unimportant right now.
Perhps you gals need to space out the Parties a bit more or maybe there is some other alteration that will work to everones' advantage subsequently making it more successful?


Wish we could help somehow.

You have had quite a few Tickle Parties out there and have at times raved about them. Perhaps you are having too many too soon and or close together? Has attendance droped for some other reason?



Hope for everyones' sake, you do not scrub the Tickle Parties permanantly.


Sincerely,

TTD

TTD, for lack of anything else to do at the moment, ill jump in here and try to answer your q's, with apologies to lady e if im wrong on anything:

1. yes there is a cover charge at the door, preferably to be paid in advance. i believe its 40 bucks, but they have food and drinks.

2. yes you can pay for 10 minute sessions, which i believe is 20 bucks. you can also jump in with someone if they allow it.

3. as far as orchestration, ill let someone else get that, like skilledtickler.

4. yes it a pay to play establishment. the rates are listed on her site, an hour is 160. tipping isnt required but appreciated. reservations are recommended.

5. its a pay to play establishment, again, but she does run special nights sometimes like the tickle parties (which are stopping) and the second sat. night which is club fetish (i guess its some group of people out there in this club, but non members can attend, which incidentally is screwing up my first night there in december, because im coming in on the evening of the second saturday in december, and theyll be closed on the second sunday, so i guess ill have to spend my money at the dominion on the 12th and 13th of december).

sorry for the quick rant. hopefully that helps TTD.

 

[TickledToDeath]

dtrell,

Thanks for your very informative reply. I appreciate it.

There is a flaw with their set up which is why the turnout is not as hight as expected and desired.
It is once inside and the 20 for 10 deal.
I am not saying that it should be a free for all once inside but and alteration of that deal is need in my view.
Perhaps, One: A limit to the guests be implimented.
Two: Make the cover a tad bit higher, say, for instance, 50 bucks.
Great that they have food and drink. Very nice of them to supply complimentary refreshments.
Once inside, well there is the gray area.
Dollar a minute?

Another scenario;
100 dollar cover.
Limit guests.
Gathering like, party inside however put a time limit OVERALL as to how long the PA ticklees are tickled. Each guest who is a ticklee is also limited as to time tickled but no monies are exchanged inside.

When this first started out, out there at PA, it really looked promising.

Again, I am not knocking the cover charge at all however the 20 for 10 inside could start to run into unaffordable territory over a few hour period inside especially since 10 minutes is a tease to damn near all ticklers and ticklees for that matter.

Just some thoughts.

Another thought, space out the Tickle Parties more. That alone may attract a better turn out on the evenings they are held. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and the fingers itcher to tickle and the feet ribs and sides etc. begging to BE tickled!

[dtrell]

i hear ya TTD, i think some of what you suggest would help...but i guess she does what she can do. anyway, the big thing for me to attend, as ive said before, would be outside fetish stars (of which she knows many) but they all have bagged out on her...so i guess thats not her fault. cant do much about it. as far as the 20 bucks for 10 mins, im not sure if 10 is all you can do, or if you can string 10 min sessions together. anyway, 2 bucks per minute isnt bad, considering the regular rate is one hour for 160 which is about 2.65 per minute. again, my beef would be the lack of privacy in the sessions. but that wouldnt bug me that much if i had the chance to tickle, say, darla crane..etc.

id love to be out there for the half price session party, but again unfortunately the tickets and reservations are already booked for the second weekend....so nothing saturday night and closed sunday.

another thing, unlike my buddy areenactor, i am TOTALLY UNINTERESTED in /m tickling....and as much as i like you TTD, i have no desire to see you being tickled at a dungeon. so i really dont want to have to walk around and see or hear that (a man laughing and screaming)...it would SERIOUSLY kill my mood.....if you know what i mean....LOL

 

[LadyElizabeth]

The party is on the 22nd of November...and we've had them every other month...what we charge was a decided team effort with the ladies having input since they are the ones who are being tickled all during the course of the party.

If attendence doesn't improve all ticklers will be welcome at our half price party where there are closed door sessions...and these parties will be held every other month...

and dtrell I'm sure the Dominion will appreciate your business...

[TicklishPhoebe]

I understand that we all have lives, geograpical challenges, and money issues.

But, as has been stated in other posts, don't say that no one ever does anything for the tickle community.. We've tried.

And for all of you who have come out to the parties.. Thanks bunches - we really, really appreciate it..



Dtrell, does the Dominion have you on payroll? You mention them in almost every single post you make - especially when it's a thread about something related to Passive Arts. I'm starting to think you have some type of a deal with them 😀

 

[SkilledTickler]

To use a phrase that I had heard often when I was living in the southwest and traveling to the southeast part of the country...God willing and the creek don't rise, I will be there.

As always I know the ladies will look forward to seeing you ST...
