Greetings!
I look forward to seeing you all on Sunday! The exact location will arrive in your inbox promptly 24 hours before the event. For planning purposes, Sub Rosa is located in inner SE Portland, near Wayfinder Brewery. Please read on for more information about the gathering, a link to a short welcome video to get you in the spirit of things, and a form for submissives to fill out so I can learn a bit more about you and plan your role in our afternoon accordingly.
The event is sold out with a waiting list, so if you are unable to attend, please let me know as soon as possible.
And again — thank you for joining us for the very first Harlots High Tea! I am so grateful for the enthusiasm from each and every one of you. This is a brand new gathering, and there may be small imperfections along the way, but I have every confidence that a marvelous time will be had by all. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.
DOMINANTS
The doors open at noon. Please arrive promptly, as introductions begin at 12:15 and food and tea service will follow shortly after. There will be little opportunity to change or prepare on site, so please arrive dressed — but enter discreetly. Someone will be on hand to take your jacket, cape, or cloak.
Dress code is anything in which you feel confident, comfortable, and fabulous — cocktail attire, high fetish, or your favorite onesie and a party hat all qualify.
Once we are seated, we will go around the room for introductions. Please share your harlot name and title. For example, I am Princessa Natasha Strange, Empress of Mindfuckery. This will help us get acquainted — and will ensure the submissives know exactly who they are lucky enough to be serving.
After the Dominants have introduced themselves, the submissives will offer a brief introduction of their own, and then the tea will begin to flow.
The menu includes:
- Salmon, cucumber, and cream cheese tea sandwiches (gluten free and vegan options available)
- Beet pickled deviled eggs
- Homemade croissants
- Corn muffins with honey butter
- Gluten free pumpkin muffins
- Gluten free cookies
- Nut cups
- An assortment of olives, cheese, and salami
- Grapes, strawberries, and blueberries
And of course, tea and sparkling water. Tea pots of Irish Breakfast (Princessa’s personal favorite), Green, and Chamomile or other herbal will be circulating, along with hot water and an assortment of tea bags.
After food has been served, you are welcome to circulate — there will be a small foot worship station should you wish to take your tea there, or you may simply beckon a submissive to attend to your feet at the table.
At 1:15, a photographer will be available in Mother’s Den to take your royal portrait. Feel free to bring along a willing submissive to pose at your feet, as befits a loyal pet.
Around 2:00, we will begin to wrap up and say our farewells — including offering each of our lovely service submissives a warm and personal thank you.

SUBMISSIVES
Please arrive at 11:00 AM. I will be on hand to welcome you and ensure you are looking your absolute best. There will be little time to prepare on site, so please arrive with your outfit already on beneath your clothing so you can easily slip into your prettiest presentation. Remember — your only purpose this afternoon is to be beautiful and useful. I have complete faith that you will shine at both.
We will begin with a quick outfit inspection, followed by task assignments. Each of you will be assigned some portion of food and tea service, but I would love to know what other skills or offerings you might bring to the table.
Please fill out the form below as soon as possible so I can learn more about what you have to offer. I do have room for one or two of you to perform or otherwise entertain the Harlots — and foot rubs are always a welcome skill.
When the Dominants are seated, I will have you line up near the bondage wall. Each of you will briefly introduce yourself — your name, one or two things you are there to offer, and a little spin to show off your outfit. Then wait to be dismissed. Upon dismissal, you will curtsy or bow, take one step back, and disappear to begin your role in food preparation.
For example: “My name is John. I bring tea sandwiches fit for the royal Harlots, and I am available for foot rubs once food has been served.” Or: “My name is Pet. I am available as an ottoman after the meal and as a prop for your portrait.” Or, for those focused on service: “My name is Pet, and I am here to ensure tea service runs beautifully.”
Please note: this is not a play party. Your body is not on offer — only your service.
During food preparation, there will be three tea pots, hot water, an assortment of tea bags, and multiple food options. I ask that tea and hot water circulate frequently, and that food be paced so guests always have something to enjoy without an overwhelming spread building up on the tables. Service is self-directed — I will not be standing over you, but I am always available for questions. I want you to shine, and I know that you will.
The one exception to the no-play rule comes at the close of our gathering, during farewells: I will be dispensing cane strokes for any infractions — real or imagined. Please let me know how you feel about receiving them. I know some of you are perfect pets who would never require such indignities. Others, however, simply cannot seem to learn — and even when they do everything beautifully, require the reminder of the cane to keep them in their place.
I eagerly await our gathering.
Princessa Natasha Strange
