Dirty South Yule Lunacy

The final Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Atlanta event of 2019 is Friday, December 20th, from 6:00–8:00 pm at the Microtel Inn and Suites at Perimeter Center, inside the conference room. The address is: 6280 Peachtree Dunwoody Rd, Atlanta, GA 30328

Our Yule Lunacy event will serve as a toy drive for Toys for Tots. Once again we are leveraging the greater purchasing power of non-profit organizations, and instead of collecting toy donations we are asking participants to donate to Toys for Tots via our team fundraising page. Our DSLE team goal is $500, which will bring holiday cheer to children in need.

Bring proof of your donation (a screencap of the receipt page is fine) to the event, and donations of $20 or more will receive (stock is limited, first come first served, while supplies last) a 5mL bottle of THERE AROSE SUCH A CLATTER: Pumpkin egg-nog served in a skull, next to a steaming slab of gingerbread. You will also be able to make donations at the event.

We will be featuring the new Yule update and 17th Anniversary collection, alongside returning stock of the Weenie collection, and activism scents Sustained Boos and Impeachment, benefitting the ACLU, and Peach Chypre, a response to Georgia’s “heartbeat bill,” with proceeds going to Planned Parenthood. Also returning will be remaining stock of the Lilith update, Duets, Lunacies, some Trading Post goodies, other limited back stock, and our usual collection of General Catalog scents. A complete stock list is here. Remember, if we don’t have what you’re looking for in stock you can always place a special order with us and we’ll have it for you the next month!

Our immense gratitude to the Lab for offering this gift with donation!

November Lunacy: Children of the Cornucopia, Part II

Happy harvest, children! Our November Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Atlanta event is Sunday, November 24th, from 5:00–7:00 pm at the Microtel Inn and Suites at Perimeter Center, inside the conference room. The address is: 6280 Peachtree Dunwoody Rd, Atlanta, GA 30328

This month’s perfume party will also serve as a food drive for two local charities, Atlanta Community Food Bank (for people food!) and Kudzu Cat Alliance (pet food!).

Once again we are leveraging the greater buying power of non-profit organizations, and instead of collecting food donations we are asking participants to donate to the Atlanta Community Food Bank via our team fundraising page. Our DSLE team goal is $500. We surpassed that last year and I am sure we can do it again, because BPALers are some of the most generous people out there.

Bring proof of your donation (a screencap of the receipt page is fine) to the event, and donations of $20 or more will receive (stock is limited, first come first served, while supplies last) a 5mL bottle of WHEN THE FROST IS ON THE PUNKIN: Golden amber leaves rustling around a patch of late autumn pumpkins dusted with a cap of glittering, sugar-white snow. You will also be able to make donations at the event.

Kudzu Cat Alliance’s mission is to stabilize community cat populations through a trap-neuter-return (TNR) program, and to educate the public about the benefits of TNR. They collaborate with property owners, residents, local rescues, caregivers, and foster families to identify and serve at-risk community cat colonies. As part of their outreach they supply a Community Cat Food Bank to provide cat food to community cat caregivers who need assistance feeding their colony. You can support their mission by bringing a donation of cat food (dry or wet), or by donating online to their fundraising page. They can also use your old sheets and towels!

We will once again be featuring the Weenie collection, along with activism scents Impeachment, benefitting the ACLU, and Peach Chypre, a response to Georgia’s “heartbeat bill,” with proceeds going to Planned Parenthood. Returning will be remaining stock of the Lilith update, Duets, Lunacies, some Trading Post goodies, other limited back stock, and our usual collection of General Catalog scents. A complete stock list will be posted closer to the event. Remember, if we don’t have what you’re looking for in stock you can always place a special order with us and we’ll have it for you the next month!

As always, all gratitude to the Lab for offering this gift with donation.

October Lunacy: Death and the Maiden

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The air is cooler, leaves crunch underfoot, the Weenie update has dropped, and our Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Atlanta event will convene on Sunday, October 27th, from 5:00–7:00 pm at the Microtel Inn and Suites at Perimeter Center, inside the conference room. The address is: 6280 Peachtree Dunwoody Rd, Atlanta, GA 30328

In the spirit of the season we hope that you’ll come in costume; you can delight (or fright) us with us your own creation or a response to this month’s event theme. The theme of Death and the Maiden has taken many forms, from poetry, music, art, and stage to the big screen. Feel free to be creative and interpret it any way you wish. Here’s a bit of inspiration: Franz Schubert, Ernestine Schumann-Heink [public domain]

In addition to this year’s much-anticipated Weenie collection we’ll have Impeachment, benefitting the ACLU, and Peach Chypre, a response to Georgia’s “heartbeat bill,” with proceeds going to Planned Parenthood. Also making an appearance will be remaining stock of the Lilith update, Duets, Lunacies, some Trading Post goodies, other limited back stock, and our usual collection of General Catalog scents. A complete stock list will be posted closer to the event. Remember, if we don’t have what you’re looking for in stock you can always place a special order with us and we’ll have it for you the next month.
