Prim & Proper Queer Tea Party – Folsom Street Fair 2008
This post is brought to you by the fabulous Prim Queer Hostess Nifercritter
Last year throngs of leather-clad daddies swooned in shock and horror, when they discovered that MODESTY IS THE NEW KINK. Please do join me again this year, for a delightfully ostentatious picnic in the heart of the world’s largest leather event.
Yes, indeed, dear gentleperson, I am hosting a redux of the most photographed event at last year’s Folsom Street Fair — Miss Nifer’s Prim & Proper Tea Party. I’m inviting all my queer ladies and gentlepersons of all genders, to join me at Folsom Street Fair (in the 8th St. Food Court area) on Sunday, September 28, 2008 from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, for the not-to-be-missed *2nd Annual Prim & Proper Queer Tea Party*.
Please save the date for this VERY CONSERVATIVE affair. We will drink (spiked?) tea from little china cups, and eat little cucumber sandwiches seated upon our quilted blanket, spread out right in the middle of the action.
Miss Nifer Nefarious respectfully requests her guests to adhere to STRICT “Prim & Proper” attire. (English tea time, or 1920′s picnic era….)
Feminine Attire:
- BIG sun hats, or -tiny- hats
- Parasols
- Long frilly dresses
Masculine Attire:
- Tweed suits
- Knickerbockers
- Mustaches
- Cravats (neck scarves), bow ties, and other ties
- Bowler hats, Flat-top straw hats, & Newspaper boy caps
Because this is a queer affair, I *strongly* encourage you to play with the theme and adopt it to your personal idea of gender identity and orientation….. but please stay within the theme, that “Modesty is the New Kink”. Become inspired by photos of last year’s Prim Queer Tea:
***YOUR participation is essential to making this event the most refined event at Folsom to date! PLEASE RSVP today, so I can organize who is bringing what edibles or other supplies to the picnic, (and also to coordinate our arrival time). Send an email to sporktree (at) gmail dot com.***
Humping Crumpets,
Nifer

PostScript – Looking for something to bring?
I’m trying to make this AWESOME, however it will help me out TONS if a few people brought things. Check out my list below, and email with what you can bring. PLEASE ONLY COMMIT TO BRING STUFF IF YOU PLAN ON COMING FOR SURE. I’d hate to not have a critical item, like cream, if someone doesn’t come. Er, I mean “arrive”. And we surely don’t want to ask a leather daddy for some cream, for who knows what we might get our pot filled with!
Please RSVP to sporktree (at) gmail.com if you can help with any of the following:
+ Tea cups & saucers (mismatching would be cute! )
+ Tea Pots & Tea Kettles
+ Napkins & little paper plates
+ Large blankets & quilts that can be put on the street (We will need to cover at least a 25 foot square area)
+ Some silverware (actual metal would ROCK…. they don’t have to match)
+ Silver serving platters (It’s all about the POSH!)
+ Tea!
+ Small Eats – Scones, Tea Biscuits, Crumpets with jars of Devon Cream or Lemon Curd, Petits Fours, Fruit
+ Milk & Milk Pitcher/Container
+ Sugar Cubes & sugar bowl
+ Tea-spiking stuff– whiskey, rum, ??
+ Sandwiches (Possible ideas: Cream Cheese & Cucumber, Chutney & English Cheddar, Pear & Stilton Cheese, Fig & Olive Tapenade, Cream Cheese & Mandarin Oranges, Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese, Egg Salad
I look forward to meeting you all at The Fair!
Your hostess,
Nifer
I was telling Heather about this on the way to the vet today and mentioned you two by name (“Colin, this guy I kinda sorta know on LJ, and his wife [is that correct?] Nifer…” when Heather stopped me and said, “Nifer… that’s an unusual name… I wonder if she’s…”
“Yes,” I said, “They do know your coworker Josephine, through DDI, I think.”
“And does she also do stuff with felt?” she said, “Then she must be the one I took the felting class from at Maker Fair two years ago!” We went on to talk about the nifty felt FSMs she makes and how much H wants one.
So there you have it – Nifer seems to be a minor celebrity. If you didn’t already know.

Prim and Proper Tea Party…
The Prim and Proper Queer Tea Party is also happening at the Folsom Street Fair this year. While Perverted Prudes is not affiliated with the Prim and Proper Queer Tea party, we encourage you to help contribute to their tea party!
However, if Victorian …
Should we bring hot water or will there be a method for boiling water for tea?
@wee Due location limitations, there is no stove or other heating appliance.
We are bringing hot tea using thermos containers, but we welcome more lovely people to bring their own hot tea! The event seems to be quite popular and it would be a tragedy if we ran out of tea.
