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? Tavern on Camac at 243 South Camac Street in Philadelphia.

Is there a cover charge? No, 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 the party: come to the parties or subscribe to KalinaIsato.com.

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. The age range is typical of most tranny parties and speaks of the diversity of the crowd.

Is the party for crossdressers or transsexuals? Both. We attract a very diverse crowd.

Are guys welcome? Gentlemen who appreciate and show respect to girls who are at different points in their gender transition paths are always welcome.

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 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. You can also opt to buy her and her friends a drink to show what a nice person you are.

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 part-time and full-time tgirls (CD, TV, TG, TS), 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. Like 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.

Where do your partygoers travel from? We have people from all over the United States coming to the party. We've even had people from Japan, Sweden, Iceland, Germany, and the UK.

Why are there costumed themes? This is to give you a taste of NYC nightlife. You can forego dressing in the theme if it makes you feel comfortable or if money is an issue.

If I come as a boy, are there rooms to change? Yes, you are welcome to use one of the stalls in the upper level restroom to change, but you must respect other people's need to use the restroom, too, so limit your changing time to ten minutes.

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 nudity is not allowed. Outrageous costumes that show no nudity are accepted and even praised.

How do you handle harassment? Harrassment of any kind will not be tolerated. If someone is treating you unfairly, bring it to the bartender's attention and he 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.


WRISTBANDS, PHOTO, AND VIDEO POLICIES

Our wristbands make it easy for everyone to determine who's into what, who doesn't want pictures taken, etc. A lot of hard work goes into producing the content of this web site and paying for its existence, so we ask everyone who attends our party to donate $5 for one of our wristbands. Remember that our party doesn't have a cover charge like other parties, so this is our small way of recouping our costs. Additional donations are always welcome.

PURPLE WRISTBANDS tell everyone that you like guys.
PINK WRISTBANDS tell everyone that you like girls.
Are you bisexual? Wear both pink and purple wristbands!

CHERRY WRISTBANDS tell everyone you do not want to be in pictures. If you are not wearing a CHERRY WRISTBAND at the time we take pictures or tape videos, we will assume it is okay for you to be in a picture and any modifications to any pictures will incur a fee of $10 for each picture. Videos are much harder to modify because once you ask us to delete certain frames, that breaks the cadence of the video. This is not a secret fetish party. The videos are taped in a public place for documentary purposes. If you do not want to be in a picture or video, go downstairs.

Appearing in our photo galleries is a privilege and not a right. Unless you've paid for a PHOTOSHOOT (see below), we will not take more than two or three pictures of each person.

A PHOTOSHOOT gives girls a chance to be a model! Kalina or Kristin can take your pictures for a small donation of 10 pictures for $20 or 20 pictures for $40 (all in the same night). The donations help pay for the cost of the camera and accessories. Pictures can be placed on a CD or emailed to you. One or more of your photoshoot pictures may appear in our weekly photo gallery unless you tell us not to.


DIRECTIONS TO THE PARTY

From I-676, take the Broad Street exit, which places you onto 15th Street. Drive down 15th to Locust, turn left, and drive 4 blocks up. Camac Street is a little side street that you can enter by foot on Locust in the middle of the block between 12th and 13th. Uncles Bar is at the corner of Locust and Camac, so just walk down Camac Street and the club is right there on the left side. We always begin our night at the first floor piano bar and then head upstairs to the dance floor at 10pm. Tavern on Camac is not wheelchair accessible.

Plenty of street parking is available thoughout the city, but you will need to read the signs to make sure you are not in a restricted area. The parking garage on the corner of Juniper and Locust is a good choice and is close to the party. The area is heavily patrolled by police at all hours of the night making it one of the safest areas in the city.

The following hotels are TRANSGENDER-FRIENDLY.

Alexander Inn, corner of 12th and Spruce St, is a fabulous hotel only one block away from Tavern on Camac. Seven different room rates ($119 to $159) for seven different room sizes. Check in 3pm. Check out noon.
