GETTYSBURG, Pa.—J.P., co-founder and owner of Studio 58 Events, was on the "Pink Kink" podcast with Princess Rara and Dara, the Electro Kahleesi, to talk about the origins of Studio 58 Events and Naughty Gras, the upcoming weekend event in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania from March 27 to 30.
Studio 58 organizes kinky events and adult education for people over 18 years of age to express themselves authentically and explore their sexuality and relationships without prejudice in safe, well-managed environments. Naughty Gras is Studio 58's adult lifestyle weekend, transforming two adjacent hotels into a clothing-optional play zone for the sexually adventurous.
Said J.P., "We go the extra mile to make sure people truly feel welcome. It pays off. It's a lot of work."
Rara noted, "One of the things that I really love, the people who go to the events, go there for the kink. They don't think of what they're wearing, or what toy they have."
The pool areas are decorated in honor of Bourbon Street and the French Quarter of the Big Easy. There are dedicated dungeon areas open all night and day, plus an outdoor courtyard with a cigar lounge. Throughout the weekend, there are games, speed dating, dancing, karaoke, kinky classes, and BDSM socials offering newbies a "taste" of kink, such as bondage, mummification, electro play, and more. Regarding the edgier kinks, Studio 58 has a vetting process.
J.P. explained, "When we vet you, we are saying you know what you are getting into and have some amount of training. We might suggest you work with a mentor, or whatever. We wanted to make sure we knew who was doing what and they know what they're getting themselves into. It's a step in trying to prevent an accident."
Vendors confirmed for Naughty Gras are The Dungeon Store, Lovely Marks Toys, Perfect 10 Toys, Regal Raiment, SnM Leatherworks, Broken Lance After Dark, Creative Kink Toys, Flogging Farmers, and Soaring Eagle Creations.
Naughty Gras is a private event at a discrete location only revealed upon registration. Details on Naughty Gras and Studio 58 Events can be found at studio58events.com.
