Happy Horror Hour - Beauty Standards 💇‍♀️🎀❤️‍🔥💀💄🩱👗

If Looks Could Kill...

In the world of beauty there is a thin line between gorgeous and grotesque. For this happy horror hour we'll dig deeper into body horror by exploring beauty standards and the subversion thereof. Prepare yourselves for body transformations, deadly beauty products, and killer competition in the cutthroat industries of fashion and beauty. Things are about to get pretty... then very very ugly.

HOW HAPPY HORROR HOUR WORKS

Before the event …

• Watch the movies from the Watch List at home on your own. We do not watch movies at the actual event. Think of it like a book club. It's not a requirement to watch all the movies on the Watch List to attend. However, watching at least a few is highly encouraged as you'll have a lot more fun during the discussion.
• If you have content sensitivities, you can look up movies on doesthedogdie.com and/or unconsentingmedia.org to review warnings.
• Keep your RSVP up-to-date. If you can't make it out, update your RSVP at least 24 hours beforehand. If there is a waitlist, attendance will be taken and "no shows" will be marked.

At the event …

• We’re a friendly welcoming bunch and we love new folks! 😍
• Please purchase something (even if just a soda) while you’re at the restaurant. They’re running a business but being super awesome by giving us a space to meet for free. Also, please tip our servers. We’re a big bunch to wrangle.
