ATTN all bathroom bullies, sexy nerds, horny jocks, pervert professors, PTA MILFS, class clowns, and honor students with a praise kink: SLAP is back on September 15th for the first assembly of the school year!!

Help us celebrate the launch of our virtual book club, SLRP (Sadomasochist & Leather Readers of Pittsburgh), by joining us for the FIRST ANNUAL SLAP ACADEMY SPELLING BEE!!! Claim your spot in the class at 7p. Every pupil gets their prize, but only you can decide whether it’s reward or punishment 😈🏆💥 Stay late to cruise, bruise and bop to music by Rev. Mistress Dahlia (@revmistressdahlia).

$5-10 suggested donation at the door. This month we’ll be raising $$ for Monica (@marys.monica)’s upcoming FFS! Monica is a beloved member of our local leather community and helps make this party possible as part of Mary’s bar staff. We’ll be selling prints by Eriko Hattori (@erikohattori) with 100% proceeds supporting Bukit Bail Fund (@bukitbailfund), who’ll also be tabling this event with some more new merch. And remember to stock up on free safer sex & harm reduction supplies from THE AUTOnomous BODY SHOP (@the.auto.body.shop)!

We encourage you to consider the health and safety of our most immunocompromised community members—stay home if you’re sick, test before coming, and mask up at the door. We can’t keep you from coming in barefaced like a freshman dork, but we might bully you for it 🫂 If you need a mask or a test, we have them for you. Our space will be equipped with air filters from our friends at Clean Air Tools Pittsburgh (@cat.pgh).

Get dressed, gear up, and come show out at Mary’s on 9/15. Doors at 6. Games, dancing, and debauchery til late.
