Walk Topless-celebrating the official Go Topless Day on August 23rd

IMG_0454 IMG_0455On Sunday August 23rd, Oasis Aqualounge celebrated the official date of the international  ‘Go Topless’ movement. Organized by Miss F, guests of the club and the fabulous Oasis Aqua Flirts gathered on the front lawn of Oasis Aqualounge for sign making, body decor and media interviews.

The march began at 2:00pm and traveled  south down Yonge St; there was a brief stop at Yonge & Dundas Square before heading north on Jarvis and ending back at the club.  There were approximately 30 marchers with a combination of topless women and men wearing bikini tops. Marchers carried signs and noisemakers to get the message of equality across. While it is technically legal for women to go bare chested,  women often are shamed for doing this. This march served to highlight the irony of  gender norms, reduce the stigma of women being topless and the constant sexualization of breasts. Oasis Aqualounge believes in sexual freedom for all genders and embraces a clothing-optional lifestyle.

Naked News reporter Madison Banes covered the event, as did reporters from the Toronto Sun.  Overall, it was a fun and liberating Sunday and we want to thank everyone who joined in support.

Pole Envy meets X Club-an Aqua Flirt perspective!

On Friday August 14th,  Oasis Aqualounge welcomed X Club members to a poolside party and evening festivities. As one of pole instructors,  I had the pleasure of entertaining our guests with a pole dance demonstration and free lessons on the main floor. Everyone had great energy, looked sexy in their bikinis and enjoyed trying out the tricks and spins I taught that night. It was a fabulous party-starter;  I couldn’t have been more pleased with the feedback. I was very impressed when a couple of avid polers showed off their advanced moves as well. There was a lot of Pole Envy in the air!

A change of setting is always refreshing  and  X Club members seemed to  enjoy what Oasis Aqualounge had to offer. As an Oasis Aqua Flirt, I had a wonderful time listening and sharing experiences of the club. It was a great way to spend a gorgeous Friday, and I’m certain that Oasis guests were  excited to spend the following day over at X Club!

Thank you to all who attended this weekend and we look forward to more shared experiences!

Inside #DeliciouslyDisabled-Interview with Vice Magazine

Oasis Aqualounge and the disability consulting brand #DeliciouslyDisabled celebrated their first ever accessible play party, located at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre on Friday August 14th. This event was organized by Fatima Mechtab, Andrew Morrison Gurza and Stella Palikarova. While media was strictly prohibited inside the party, the organizers were able to take a few pictures before the event officially started in discreet areas that did not interfere with attendance.

This event was heavily populated in the media and had been covered by various international news outlets. Vice Magazine-who wrote an article about the event back in June-spoke to a volunteer and recapped some of the event highlights.  We want to thank all who attended and supported this project and we encourage our guests to check out the article for a first hand view of the event.
