Freaky Party Invitation???
 

Does anyone know what a Hautekoko Party is? I have never heard of this. From reading the invitation, it left me confused. Or maybe I'm reading into it since I have no clue what it is? It made me feel old . . . I used to know all the party themes :( BTW, Google and Wikepedia weren't any help.

Anyway, the invite came from an acquaintance and no, I haven't asked directly. The invite said the following:

"_____(name of host) would like to invite you to a night filled with fun and excitement. So if you want a little adventure and would like to add some accessories to your love life, you don't want to miss this party. So... leave your work behind and bring the right woman to the bedroom OR gentlemen who are attending, bring the right man to the bedroom. You must be at least 18 years old to attend. Attire for women: cocktail dresses. Attire for men: Business casual. Also, at this party, we don't use our real names. You need to have a bedroom name for the night. The most creative name wins a free gift."

Any thoughts on what this invite is all about?

Sounds like a swinger party.

Silly me thought the name might be Japanese and tried a translator site. The word doesn't exist in Japanese.

Is it a funny spelling for "hot coco?"

See, DST you and I had similar thoughts . . . I got the invite from a coworker. I was like :eek: because I couldn't believe that I got this at work. But since I had no idea what it was about, I thought I might be reading into it. Don't people know its work and what could happen if freaky stuff about you gets out? And I'm not talking about a promotion!

The bold part makes me think of a toy party.

That invite is offensive. That kind of thing should only go out to an exclusive circle of people who you KNOW get down like that.

Cuss that coworker out for good measure. He/she can't report you because you can say they were passing out freaky invites at work. :p

I thought that too but the rest of the message seems like they are testing the toys out at the party. LOL.

Even sex toy party invites should be handled differently than sistergreek says this invite was handled.

Thought about that one too . . . do I have "newly single - needs help" written on my forehead? lol

LOL. Probably not.

If this is just a sex toy party, the host is defintely playing up a theme.

Exactly! How do they know I'm not gonna feel sexually harrassed?! It did piss me off that I got this at work . . . especially since I'm one of those that doesn't mix my work life with my personal life. Too risky. But then again, not knowing what it was about, I thought I'd find out the facts first. Believe me, after I find out, it will be handled. But see, I'm not going to do anything just in case it really is a funny spelling for HOT COCO :D

The only thing I do socially outside of work is play Softball.

I'm totally intrigued by this, lol. Where is the party? A hotel?

I agree, it should not be handed out at work. But you know when people are selling stuff, they sometimes have no boundaries. Are you the only coworker that got one?

LOL @ trying out the toys at the party. BUT, I've never heard of folks wearing cocktail dresses to a toy party.

The invite did say to leave the work behind and bring that special someone to the bedroom. At least it is a somewhat dressy affair--cocktail attire. Maybe you all will be drinking HOT COCO and pontificating rather than pouring it on each other and fornicating. :p

All it is is a Passion Party? Her co-worker sucks.

So are you saying that you know for a fact that a Hautekoko party is the same as a Passion Party? Why the word Hautekoko? Isn't a Passion Party the same as a toy party?

You sound disappointed . . . :D

No I’m not saying that I know that for a fact. But considering the extreme lack of content that I came up with when I searched for the word ‘Hautekoko’ I’m just making an educated guess based on this website and the wording of your invitation.

Wow.

I do my best to keep work/personal lives seperate... there are a few work chums that I can totally hang out with outside of work, but I would never ever ever go to a party like that with work people :eek:

It's at somebody's house - not my coworker's. That I know of I'm the only one that got one, but I haven't asked anyone. Now that you mention it, there might be others pondering over the same thing. But doing something like this with co-workers ewwww!

That it's just a Passion Party? I was prepared for it to be an underground-scandal of some sort just for shyts and giggles.

I think your coworker shouldn't have passed it out at work and the wording made it seem wierd, which is why you brought it here. She should've had a convo with the people she wanted to invite to see how they'd receive it before she sent out the invites.

Sistergreek, what happened to "this invite is offensive" and you need to cuss out that coworker blah blah blah . . ." Now my coworker sucks because "all it is is a Passion Party?" You wanted it to be a swinger party didn't you? Then I'd have someone to cuss out and I'd come back to GC and tell you all about the drama ;):D

You getting invited to a swinger party is a funnier thread than a Passion Party. :D

Now you shouldn't cuss out your coworker because I have found that some people actually invite coworkers to this stuff for some reason. It doesn't make sense to me but apparently I'm a prude who doesn't mingle with my colleagues like that. I suggest that you just don't show up if you have no interest in it/it makes you uncomfortable. Maybe even mention to that coworker that you had no idea what this was about and that it made you uncomfortable. If they try to talk to you about sex toys at work or invite you to something else, CUSS 'EM OUT. :p

I knew it! :eek:

Bluetiful, stop adding the smilies. LOL. I saw the original emoticon that you had and I know that the smilies are changing the tone of the post. It's okay that you were baffled because you thought I am singing a different tune. The only thing that has changed is that you don't cuss out your coworker. ;)

ETA: Don't be showing up at that party with your cocktail dress and "bedroom name," though. You ain't slick. LOL.

I wasn't baffled by your tune at all. But without the smileys you thought I was huh? :D (oops there's another smiley) I forgot to add it to the post the first time. Then you would have known I was just being funny - not really baffled. I have a naturally sarcastic and humorous personality . . . and I forget when I'm online that those who read what I write don't know that. So the smileys convey my sarcasm or that I'm just being funny as opposed to the reader taking it the way it reads. So DSTChaos, just for you :D and :D oh and don't forget :D but those are the last smileys you get from me girl! I've read your posts enough and I should've known you can handle sarcasm with no smileys!

Oh, and I would have gone to the party had it not been a coworker who invited me! I'd use my real bedroom name though - not a made-up one :eek: (ok last one) :D (no, this one is the last smiley for reals)

I thought you were jokingly serious. Just making sure I didn't appear to suddenly be doing cartwheels over this party. ;):D

:eek: You're gonna be there. You might wear a disguise but you'll be there. Let us know how it was, gurrrl!!!! :p

But seriously don't forget to talk to your coworker if you're uncomfortable with this whole thing.

You know you were. Ain't no shame in that. That's why we on GC b/c we have no life (no smiley)

You and your sarcasm. Silly gal! (no smiley)

I thought these parties were typically just for the ladies, or just for the guys..not typically co-ed? I mean, if I wanted to get a sex toy (freaky or not), I certainly wouldn't want to buy it in front of any co-workers, much less male ones.

It did sound like a swingers party at first though...that would have been freaky.

Yeah for the internet!
