Ever seen a rave in a s*x shop? You have now.
On June 14th, for the first time in Circus of Books history, we turned our legendary West Hollywood storefront into a full-blown nightclub for RAVE FOR THE DOLLS — a night of dancing, serving c*nt, and pure q***r joy.
We threw this party in honor of Trans Pride, to celebrate the community and raise real support for those we love dearly — because joy is resistance, and right now, trans people are under attack across the country. From hateful legislation to healthcare rollbacks, so much is being done to harm our trans siblings. This was our way of fighting back: with music, movement, community, and raising money.
Thanks to our friends at the , the bar was flowing all night, and every dollar raised went straight to the Care Fund, which provides financial assistance for gender-affirming care for trans adults.
Our walls have seen a lot over the decades — p**n, protest, chaos, love (just about every kind of crazy you can imagine) — but never anything quite like this. This was a first. And we’ll never forget it.
Huge love to the DJs, the performers, the staff, and every stunning soul who came to party and stand in fierce support of the trans community. You made history with us.
We’ll never get over it.
Never underestimate the power of community — when we stand together, we’re stronger.
Much love,
CIRCUS OF BOOKS
