| FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Which Monday of the month is the party on? EVERY Monday night except for Christmas and New Year's if they fall on Mondays.
Where is the party?
The party is at Tavern on Camac located on tiny cobblestone-laden Camac street. You can't drive down this street. You have to walk to get to the club. The exact address is 243 South Camac Street in Philadelphia.
What is the cover charge? None. Monday
Night Tgirls is a FREE party. This party has singlehandedly improved the quality of the transgender party scene in Philadelphia. There are two ways to support our party: come to the parties or subscribe to KalinaIsato.com. Even if you can't come to the parties, subscribing to KalinaIsato.com helps pay for this web site and promotional materials for the party.
Where do I park? Park
your car in the parking garage at Locust and Juniper. You can also find free street parking if you don't mind walking a few blocks.
What is the age range of your partygoers? It's a 21+ party so we've had guys and girls as young as 21 to as old as 60-something. I believe the large age range is typical of most tranny parties and speaks of the diversity of the crowd.
Are guys welcome? Yes, many girls here love gentlemen who appreciate them, so show respect to everyone because every girl is at a different point in her gender transition path.
Is there a tgirl admirer etiquette that guys need to be aware of? Guys, this is your chance to socialize with us girls. Be nice to us, talk to us, and show us you appreciate us with a drink or two. Many guys believe that the only "hot" transsexuals in the world are the ones who have an hourly rate. This party was created to defy that notion as you will see many fine examples of the hottest transsexuals on the planet here who do not charge a dime for their time. NO GROPING WITHOUT PERMISSION. Also, do not lie to us and tell us you just stumbled into the bar. Nobody stumbles into a gay/lesbian/trans club.
What if I'm shy and I can't work up the nerve to talk to one of the girls? Sometimes a girl can be so captivating that she ends up being intimidating. If you see a girl talking to someone else and you don't want to interrupt her conversation, there's still a very easy way of getting her attention. Just write a note on a piece of paper or napkin and have the bartender walk it over to the girl. That way the girl knows you want to talk to her.
What
is the party like? Imagine a relaxed bar and lounge atmosphere devoid of escorts, go-go dancers, and strippers. Imagine an open and accepting environment
for beginning, intermediate, and advanced crossdressers and transsexuals and their friends, lovers, and admirers. Your attendance
will help make this fun party flourish and we want you to tell your
friends that Monday Night Tgirls in Philadelphia is the place
to be. We average 25 to 40 people per night which means everyone gets an equal chance to socialize
with everyone else. Our party is only at Tavern on Camac on Mondays, but a few tgirls go there on other nights. Drink prices range from $4 specials to $8 top-shelf martinis. As with any reputable gay bar, drinks are STRONG. THIS IS NOT A PRIVATE SEX OR FETISH PARTY. Our rep is so clean that we're PG-13.
If I come as a boy, are there rooms to change? We recommend renting a hotel room nearby if you need to change. There are too many issues to consider when changing in a public restroom.
When does the party start and end? The party officially starts at 9pm. Some girls arrive prior to 9pm to socialize with others. The atmosphere is generally warm and cozy and you will find a mix of gays, lesbians, and transgender people there on any given night of the week. Depending on the number of guests, the party usually ends around 1am.
Why
is the party on Monday nights? Many
part-time tgirls have families and can't go out on weekends.
We figured transsexuals can go out any night of the week and we didn't want to exclude anyone at our parties, so we chose
Monday night as our official party night and it's worked very well for us. Read more history here.
Is there a dress code? Clothes reflect the person, so dress fashionably. If there is a theme for the week, we
encourage you to dress in the theme, but it is not required.
This is a casual lounge atmosphere so jeans and sneakers are acceptable. It is also a PG-13 party so clothing and shoes are required. Nudity is not allowed. Outrageous costumes that show no nudity are accepted and even praised.
 What is your photo and video policy? You may take pictures of anyone who gives you permission. My photographers take pictures and tape videos of everything, so if you don't want to be in a picture or video, please wear our CHERRY WRISTBAND (available for $5 at the party or online) inside out with the white lettering not showing. Bear in mind that we have made significant investments in our photography equipment, so if you would like us to take pictures of you that we can email to you without showing them on this web site, there will be a small fee for this service.
What are these wristbands everyone is wearing? Our wristbands make it easy for everyone to determine who's into what, who doesn't want pictures taken, etc. Some guys want to know if a girl is into guys or girls. Girls who aren't into guys wear PURPLE WRISTBANDS. We also have PINK WRISTBANDS for the fashion femmes and cutiepies. All wristbands are available for $5 each at the party and all money goes towards the production of this web site and the party's promotional materials. Remember that we do not have a cover charge like other parties so this is our small way of recouping our costs!
How do you handle harassment? Harrassment of any kind will not be tolerated. If someone is treating you unfairly, bring it to a cast member's attention and we will inform the club's management to take care of the situation. Everyone, whether they are crossdresser or transsexual, will be treated equally at our parties. |
