Bound: A Night of Leather, Lace, Lesbianism & Drag
Details
BOUND is turning up the heat at Cheer Up Charlies with a night devoted entirely to leather, lace, lesbianism, and drag. Curated by the Butch Femme Social Club, this party is all about celebrating Austin’s lesbian community with unapologetic queer joy and smokin’ hot style.
Think sultry, campy, and gloriously over-the-top. You’re encouraged to channel your inner heartthrob or movie crush—come dressed as your best "Corky" or "Violet," or create your own iconic sapphic fantasy look. The vibe is bold, flirty, and fiercely femme-forward.
- A dedicated space centering Austin’s lesbian community and their friends
- Leather and lace dress code inspiration—kinky, glam, or anywhere in between
- Drag performances bringing drama, humor, and high queer art to the stage
- A soundtrack made for dancing, flirting, and staying out far too late
- Perfect for butches, femmes, studs, soft masc, high femme, and everyone under the sapphic umbrella
Whether you’re rolling in with your crew or flying solo and ready to mingle, BOUND is built for connection: locking eyes across the dance floor, complimenting someone’s harness, and maybe leaving with a new crush—or three.
Break out the leather, dust off the lace, and get ready to serve a look. At BOUND, the dress code is simple: queer, hot, and absolutely unforgettable.
