Hi, beautiful. Here’s your week — forward it to someone who already has their costume picked out.
✦ The Feature ✦
BOOlesque! — The Clocktower Cabaret · Fri, Oct 23 – Sat, Oct 31
Denver’s Halloween burlesque turns 20 this year. The Clockettes take the stage under the clock tower for eight nights, and costumes are encouraged.
This weekend there are shows at 7 and 9:30 PM on Friday and Saturday, and one at 7 on Sunday. Then it runs nightly through Halloween, dark Tuesday the 27th. Only 100 seats a show, and the 7 PM shows this Friday and Saturday have none left online, so book the 9:30s or a weeknight. 18+.

A sampler night for the kink-curious: move from station to station trying toys, techniques and sensations. No experience or partner needed. Come dressed for the masquerade, drop in any time between 6 and 9, and know that it’s sober, clothed and educational, with no sex on site.
18+. Couples tickets are available.
Erotic Prom — Scarlet Ranch, Littleton · Fri, Oct 23, 6 PM–2 AM
Scarlet Ranch throws the prom you didn’t get: silk, satin, sequins or barely covered, with a photographer on hand and prizes for prom King and Queen. Oreads, the in-house restaurant, opens at 6, and the bar is BYOB.
Members only and 21+, but you can join for just the one night.
Rope Practicum — Studio Friction · Sun, Oct 25, noon–3 PM. Studio Friction’s fourth-Sunday rope skillshare and study hall. Lights on, music off, and it isn’t a play space. Register online in advance. $5, free for members and students. 19+. Details →

Denver Cuddle Puddle — Harmonist Sanctuary, East Colfax · Fri, Oct 23, 7–9:30 PM
A platonic cuddle night led by Jessica Langley of Versicolor Coaching. You start with exercises and conversation about boundaries, consent and touch, and the cozy part comes after. Doors lock at 7:15, so be on time. It’s substance-free. $44, 18+.
