Gloss LA: Play

A rubber-required play party

Gloss LA: Play - our signature rubber required play party is back, just in time for Pride! A new location, some new faces, a rubber rubber pride flag (yes you read that correctly), some old faces, a lot of hot latex looks. Get your rubber time in before the summer heat apocalypse descends! 

Relevant Info

As always, if you aren't yet vetted and don't have a sponsor, you can attend our monthly Cocktail Hours so the founders and existing members can get a chance to meet you (be sure to submit an Intake Form as well if you want to be considered for membership)! If you don't live in the greater LA area, make sure to include times you'd be available for a video vetting call.

Check your order confirmation and reminder emails for the venue address!

Things You Need to Know

The Space

An beautiful discrete space in Lincoln Heights. Look to your order confirmation or reminder emails before the event for the specific address.

What to Expect:

• Live tunes by @cyboy_ and @missashleybad

Doors open at 9pm and close at midnight. 

If you're late, you will not be let in! This is to ensure safety and smooth running of the event.

1. Rubber is not optional! Dress to impress! Latex must be the star of your outfit. Vinyl and PVC are not acceptable alternatives. Also, your partner wearing latex does not count as you wearing latex. If you do not have rubber to wear, you will be asked to leave without a refund.
   
2. All attendees must be vaccinated! We also strongly recommend getting the latest booster.
   
3. If you're sick, please stay home. Let us know in advance and we will refund your ticket. The whole point is we plan to keep doing more of these, so don't think this is your one chance! Help us keep each other safe.
   
4. Affirmative, enthusiastic consent is key. Make no assumptions.
   
5. We will have a professional photographer roaming the party so show up early if you want to capture your look with a pro. We will also provide bracelets to indicate if you want your photo taken or not for that period.
   
6. No personal pictures allowed, so put your phone away! Taking pictures of Gloss attendees outside of the above options is grounds to be removed and permanently barred from all future events.
   
7. This event is invite-only. Reach out to admin@glossgroup.nyc if you have a +1 we didn't invite and you aren't certain of their vetting status. Again, we MUST KNOW THE NAMES OF ALL ATTENDEES to ensure a save environment. People who aren't known to the group ahead of time will not be admitted, regardless if they have a ticket.
   
8. We will have bubbles, light beer & yummy snacks available but feel free to BYOB if there's something specific you prefer! Please be prepared to tip our lovely Gloss bartender!
   
9. Smoking/vaping allowed in the outdoor areas only.
   
10. Control yourself. This is a play party, so it's not the time to indulge to excess. No open drug use. Attendees who are overly intoxicated will be kindly asked to leave for the safety of everyone.
    
11. Respect the space. The venue belongs to our good friends, and we really would like to be welcome to return. Pick up after yourself, don't break things (and let us know if you do so we can fix it), be Good Rubber Citizens.
    
12. Drink Water! For a variety of reasons, but especially so for a party where you have to wear latex.
13. If you are not an approved member but somehow purchased a ticket, you will not be admitted or refunded.
    
14. While we strive to create the safest spaces possible, there is no such thing as zero risk. By attending a Gloss event you agree to not hold the organization, its hosts, or the venue liable for anything that may occur while on premises. This includes but is not limited to any physical or emotional harm that may occur.

FAQS

Can I change at the venue?

Yes! If you are a bit uncomfortable braving public streets in rubber you can change on arrival.

I don't have latex, but I have shiny clothes--is that acceptable?

Sorry, but no. This event is latex required. Anyone not in rubber will be asked to leave without a refund. If you don't know the difference between latex and vinyl/pvc/spandex/neoprene, ask us in advance for clarity.

I don't live in LA, how do I get vetted if I don't know anyone?

While ideally we'd like to meet you in person, for out-of-towners we are willing to try short video interviews. Make sure you've submitted your vetting application with times you can do a call.
