Pussy Power is a party we originally wanted to do just for our girlfriends, but we decided to open it up and include more wonderful women! This is a night to revel in a room full of positive and powerful female energy. To be able to party in a safe space, just for women – let our hair down and dance like no one is watching. 💃🏻💃🏽💃🏼💃🏾
We’ve got a fab female lineup – Ape of Secret Pals, Zafirah and Kylie Nicole. The music will be soulful, sexy, pumping and just for us.
Pussy Power is a party created for women only (trans or cis are welcome). If you are unsure as to whether this party is for you, please DM us, we’ll be happy to chat.
Sorry boys, we’ll update you on the next one! Please do not buy a ticket if you know this party is not for you. Men will be turned away at the door.

Difference Engine presents All the Things She Said: Women’s Voices in Comics
This International Women’s Day, join us for a conversation about the power of women’s voices in comics with creators from Difference Engine, an independent comics publisher based in Singapore.
Tackling big topics through small but powerful publications within the DE Shorts imprint, Andeasyand (Creator of A Drip. A Drop. A Deluge: A Period Tragicomedy), Vinita Ramani, and Griselda Gabriele (Creators of Bearing Witness) discuss how exploring their shared experience of womanhood has empowered difficult conversations to be had through comics, whether it’s through quirky humour or raw honesty.
Come down to Book Bar on 8 March, 7:30 pm as we share stories about friendship, community, and all the messy and magnificent parts of being a woman.
DE Shorts titles including A Drip. A Drop. A Deluge: A Period Tragicomedy and Bearing Witness will also be available for purchase and signing by the creators. Light bites and drinks will be available for purchase as well.
