INVITE EXTENDED TO ALL WOMEN
ONLY CAKE CARD MEMBERS MAY INVITE MEN

“Life is beautiful. The girls are beautiful. Even the orchestra is beautiful.”

Wilkommen. The scene is a nightclub in Berlin, as the 1920's are drawing to a close. Berlin, a city historically identified with rebellion, is an ever changing sexual horizon, evolving with the ebb and flow of the political landscape.

Upon entry, it is a decadent tableaux. A perfect picture of humanity, in the full embrace of vice. The sense of carnal embrace is overpowering, in a dazzling display of female sexuality, heterosexuality, combined with transvestitism, and perceived sexual deviance. Sense is overwhelmed by the display of power mixed with the scent of danger.

The Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience to the show and assures them that, whatever their troubles, they will forget them at the Cabaret…

The Cabaret was created in Germany prior to and during WWI to protest the denial of personal liberty and the censorship of society, art, and progressive thought. Using a brilliant mix of political satire and artistic expression, cabaret was a forum for experimentation by the cultural avant garde. It became a new and vital form of entertainment - one that used performance as a political statement.

Resisting the enforcement of a collective morality and the repression of intellectual thought and artistic expression, the performers of the cabaret were united in their antipathy to the rigid nature of the state, and the moral hypocrisy and smug self-satisfaction of the powers that be.

With the end of WWI, came the end of censorship. In reaction against the old regime Berlin reveled in its newfound permissiveness and became Germany's cosmopolitan capital. In this hedonistic atmosphere cabarets mushroomed everywhere.

The Cabaret was an exotic, unbridled, hedonistic, celebration of the diversity of sexuality in a public forum. A delightful mix of erotic and ironic, it was a methodology of celebration born from an era of political repression.

Of course, as quickly as sexuality, freedom of thought, and liberal ideas took hold of postwar Germany - the tides were changing again. In stark contrast with the increasing reality of social alienation and anxiety, the Cabaret continued its public embrace of female pleasure and desires.

When Hitler took power in 1933, public celebration in the form of cabaret was one of the first victims of his regime and was forced into the underground or shut down entirely.

Are we at the end of an era, or the beginning of a new social reality? It's up to you ...

Our own times also call for political performance and sexual expression. CAKE events are designed as a forum for the expression of our sexuality in a healthy, entertaining and dare we say, political, way. The events speak to relevant cultural, sexual and political issues and while we protest the status quo, we also find cause to celebrate. We continue in the tradition of art and sexual expression as a political statement. And, girls will always wanna have fun.

CAKE invites you to create a new form of expression, The CAKE Underground on October 8th for a night of public revelry and entertainment.

Display your own artistic expression, exaggeration, humor, and form of entertainment. We welcome you to come and party in the name of sexual equality with style, divine decadence and a sense of community. We want to witness the REAL LIFE ACTUALIZATION of women's sexual desires.

Women can come by themselves (yes!) but men need a woman to get in. There's equality at work in that alone.
