Dancing

**You know we love a theme… and this one might be our favorite yet!!!** **We’re taking over Ned’s for a Fifty Shades of Pink party — Sorry... we don’t do gray ⛓️‍💥** **We do HOT. PINK. and yes, we expect you to lean ALL the way in... bright pink, soft pink, sparkly pink, “this looked pink in my closet” pink… it all counts.** **Collective will be bringing the energy (as always), so get ready for a packed dance floor and the kind of night where you wake up the next morning smiling (and maybe still covered in glitter).** **No contracts. No safe words. No secrets.** **Just a whole lot of Pink!!! 🩷🩷🩷**
