Yes. Due to the intimate and adult nature of this invitation-only masquerade ball, each attendee must have a ticket issued in their own name. This is to confirm that each individual has personally acknowledged and agreed to the event's specific terms and conditions. Please be prepared to present a valid government-issued photo ID that matches the name on your ticket for verification at the entrance.

No way! Embrace the full spectrum of color and choose anything that expresses your unique style for this couture lingerie experience. We want you to shine, captivate, and tease – be the stunning butterfly or the fierce, unforgettable woman you are! Make heads turn or leave a trail of awe. Leave them drooling or leave them uncomfortable, thinking they didn’t go far enough!
-
Men attending "Risqué" are required to wear a black or dark suit to be admitted. While tuxedos are certainly appropriate, a stylish and well-fitting suit is the minimum expectation. We aim to create an elevated and sophisticated atmosphere, and a tailored look contributes significantly to this. Baggy or ill-fitting clothing does not align with the event's couture theme and will not be allowed. Your personal style can shine through your choice of details, such as your shirt and whether you choose to wear a tie.
-
For women attending "Risqué," lingerie is the required attire. The event is a Couture Lingerie Experience centered around style, sophistication, sensuality, and the celebration of the female form. Requiring lingerie ensures a cohesive and comfortable environment where all women are equally and appropriately dressed for this specific theme. While you may wear dresses, robes, or cloaks to travel to the venue, these will need to be removed upon entry. Changing facilities are available.
-
To best enjoy the liberating and uninhibited atmosphere of "Risqué," we strongly encourage you to wear a mask for the duration of the event. The anonymity provided by a mask is a key element of the masquerade experience. Recognizing that some masks can be uncomfortable for long periods, we suggest exploring lighter options such as lace or fabric masks, or creative makeup and face paint designs that offer greater comfort and flexibility. While you are not required to leave if you remove your mask, doing so may lessen your ability to fully engage in the freedom of expression that anonymity allows.
-
We understand your desire to share this event with your friends and family. However, the beauty of a masquerade ball, especially one with the intimate and expressive nature of "Risqué," lies in the freedom and anonymity it offers, fostering an environment without judgement. This allows individuals to explore the experience and express themselves without the potential for judgement from familiar faces. To maximize your own sense of liberation and potentially enhance your experience, we suggest embracing the opportunity to engage within the unique context of the event itself.
-
Part of the allure of a masquerade is the opportunity to enjoy an evening of anonymity. While you are not obligated to share anything you're not comfortable with, we suggest leaning into the mystery of the event. Consider adopting a temporary persona or simply using a general alias, such as "Alex" or "Alice." The choice to share personal details is entirely yours, and the beauty of the night is the freedom to connect (or not) as you see fit.
-
At "Risqué," your comfort and consent are non-negotiable. You are only required to adhere to the dress code. Beyond that, you are in complete control of your interactions and participation. We have a zero-tolerance policy for disrespectful or aggressive behavior, and "no" must always be respected. If you ever feel uncomfortable or witness behavior that concerns you, please alert a member of our staff right away. We are dedicated to ensuring "Risqué" is a safe, enjoyable, and respectful event for everyone.
-
While we often see a majority of couples at "Risqué," there may also be single men and women present. Our primary expectation is that all attendees treat each other with respect. Overly aggressive behavior is not acceptable. We encourage everyone to approach others respectfully. Any instance of unwanted physical contact, such as grabbing, rather than a respectful approach, should be reported to our staff immediately, as it may result in removal from the event. We are dedicated to creating a safe and enjoyable erotic and sensual environment for everyone.
-
The key to positive interactions as a single male at "Risqué" is observation and respect for boundaries. Before approaching, take a moment to "read the room" and gauge the comfort levels of couples. Non-verbal cues like closed-off body language or lack of eye contact should be respected as a sign they may not wish to engage. When approaching a couple, a respectful way to initiate contact is often by acknowledging the male first. Given that masks may limit facial expressions, ensure your approach is visible so others can see you and you can better assess their receptiveness. Be mindful that general looking and smiling doesn't automatically mean an invitation to approach. As a single attendee, it's wise to be particularly attentive to social cues. Furthermore, please be aware that if a woman appears to be in a couple, waiting for her to be alone to approach her is generally considered disrespectful to the couple's dynamic. Assume that individuals who appear together are indeed a couple and continue to approach all interactions with sensitivity. Avoid initiating physical contact unless you've established clear eye contact and received welcoming non-verbal signals from all involved (if approaching a couple).
-
At "Risqué," remember that you are the focus of the celebration. Approach the event with confidence and interact with kindness and respect. Be aware that the atmosphere may include playful interactions and touches, particularly among women, which can often be taken as compliments. However, your comfort is paramount. If any interaction makes you feel uneasy, a polite nod or smile before turning to leave is a perfectly acceptable way to disengage. Feel empowered to initiate interactions as well – a simple compliment, a friendly "hi," or even a smile can make you feel more connected and approachable throughout the evening. You are in control of your experience.
-
No, we highly discourage asking personal questions at "Risqué." The beauty of a masquerade lies in the anonymity it provides. To respect this atmosphere, please keep your interactions focused on general topics. For example, instead of "What do you do for work?", you could ask about their impressions of the event. Complimenting their attire or mentioning your excitement for future events are also great ways to connect without crossing personal boundaries. Remember, the mystery is part of the fun!
-
To enhance the unique experience of "Risqué" and safeguard the privacy of all our guests, the use of phones, cameras, and recording devices is not permitted. Anonymity is a core element of a masquerade ball, allowing attendees to feel more uninhibited. Recording others, even inadvertently, could compromise this anonymity and potentially impact their personal lives. Given that masks may be removed and individuals have unique identifiers, this policy is in place to protect everyone's identities and ensure a comfortable environment for all. We advise attendees to arrange alternative methods for handling emergencies during the event.
