May 6-May 10, 2016
What better way to kick off the spirit of summer then going on a road trip. A motley assortment of Oasis Aqualounge employees piled into a twelve seat Mercedes Passenger Van at the crack of dawn on Thursday morning; all ready for the long haul to Frolicon in Atlanta, Georgia. The excitement for the trip managed to out weigh the over all sleepiness felt by all ten co-worker’s and before they knew it they reached the Windsor/Detroit border, the first leg of the journey.
As Tim Horton’s morphed into Waffle Houses and the landscapes became lush, green rolling hills it was apparent the destination was getting closer. Normally the drive to Atlanta is about fourteen/fifteen hours but unfortunately due to late night construction as the highway split to Atlanta the Oasis “Bang Bus” (as Marketing Coordinator Holly dubbed it), made the journey in a whopping seventeen and a half! The very weary Oasis team arrived at the Sheraton Hotel for Frolicon at nearly 3:00 am Friday morning!
The next two days at Frolicon were a whirlwind of networking, promoting, attending workshops, meeting new friends, playing, partying and definitely not a lot of sleeping. In true Oasis style some outrageous activities happened off the clock; such as hotel room tattoos, random hook ups and a late night trip to the local strip clubs. The Clermount Lounge, located in the basement of a condemned hotel was more of an attraction then a strip club…you’d have to see it to believe it! Cheetahs was the holy grail of strip clubs, it featured a buffet of the hottest women and you could even smoke inside. Needless to say we were glad we saved our “singles” for tipping at Cheetahs, the lap dances were epic.
On Sunday May 8th the gang piled back into the “Bang Bus” again for the next part of the trip; the vacation to Nashville, Tennessee. On the way out of Atlanta the group had to make a pit stop at the famous fast food joint Varsity’s, an Atlanta tradition since 1928. Full of smiles, cheeseburgers, fries & milk shakes the troupe drove onward an easy three and a half hours to Music City.
The next day and half was filled with honky tonk bars (Roberts was so good they hit it up twice), authentic Tennessee BBQ, sight seeing, shopping, tattoos and even more debauchery. The highlight was at Coyote Ugly’s, where the Oasis gals took turns dancing on the bar and nearly got the “boot”for being too risqué! Nashville was such a lively city, the group packed in as much as possible but a few more days would have been perfect.
Tuesday morning at 10:00 am the group left Nashville titillated, more tattooed and tuckered out. Their long journey home fell silent as well deserved sleep crept in. The group arrived back in Toronto safe and sound clocking in a fourteen and a half hour return trip. Six days on the road, ten Oasis staff and countless memories made this road trip one hell of a hedonistic adventure!
In Bed at Trinity Bellwood’s with the Oasis AquaFlirts on May 22nd
On Sunday May 22nd, the spacious park on Queen St. West-Trinity Bellwood’s Park-hosted their 3rd Annual Bed In event. This gathering celebrated community spirit, sustainable living and provided a chance for people to picnic together on the grass under the beautiful Sunday sunshine. The 3rd Annual Bed In started the afternoon off with a free yoga class and continued the day with live music, a drum circle and even an art station with attendees could help design a large mural.
The Oasis AquaFlirts were in attendance, socializing and spreading the word about our clothing-optional, sexually liberated environment. Coupons were provided to those who are interested in checking out the club for the first time and the AquaFlirts were on hand to answer any questions about our exciting upcoming summer events. They had a chance to frolick in the sun, make new friends and kiss lovers on the cheek.
Stay tuned for more AquaFlirt sightings this summer at such summer event such NXNE, World Naked Bike Ride and Pride 2016. Keep your eyes out for bright aqua tank tops and large, welcoming smiles. Their happiness is contagious and once you visit Oasis Aqualounge, you will understand why!

AquaFlirts Go Green-Global Marijuana March: May 7th
On Saturday May 7th, the Oasis AquaFlirts joined over 20, 000 marches in support of the legalization of marijuana. While Oasis Aqualounge is a completely smoke- free establishment, we do support such liberal values and freedoms. The Global Marijuana March celebrated its 18th year, attracting supporters, peaceful protesters and cannabis users from all walks of life.
The AquaFlirts handed out promotional postcards to those interested in learning more about Oasis Aqualounge. Saturday’s visit to Queen’s Park offered the chance to get the word out about Oasis, as well as the chance connect with like-minded, spirited individuals on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Check out the fun they had and be sure to watch for more AquaFlirt sightings around Toronto, this summer.
