Love burlesque? Steampunk? Funky hats? Swing music? Russian baths? General decadence? In our latest episode, I talk with Miss Scorpio<\/a>, party planner extraordinaire and mistress of Gemini and Scorpio<\/a>, about 10 years of throwing fabulous themed costume parties, curating one of New York City’s largest underground mailing lists of offbeat cultural events, transforming her loft into A Midsummer Night’s Dream<\/em>,\u00a0building your own social network, and why you never want to do dinner and a movie for your internet first date.<\/p>\n

About our Guest<\/strong><\/p>\n

Miss Scorpio<\/strong>\u00a0is the the mistress of Gemini & Scorpio Events. She loves brass bands, circus, and fab hats.\u00a0Her possibly out-of-date bio tells us, “Miss Scorpio dazzles audiences worldwide with her outrageous wit and wardrobe, constantly shocking the status quo into something more fabulous. She is an attention-getting, opinionated, stylish and intellectual artist who has worked for high-powered design firms and traveled with carnivals & gypsy bands, among many unique life experiences. A brazen Scorpio, she regularly talks to strangers.” You can find more about Miss Scorpio and her events at Gemini & Scorpio<\/a>, Twitter<\/a>, Flickr<\/a>, Facebook<\/a>, and YouTube<\/a>. (And why don’t you sign up for her mailing list<\/a>?)<\/p>\n
