Today we’d like to introduce you to Genevieve LeJeune.
Genevieve, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I founded Skirt Club in 2014 after having attended many “play parties” with my ex-boyfriend. It reached a point at these parties that I realized none of the action or enjoyment was about ‘me’, but rather all about the men in attendance. It was the men who decided who they wanted to have sex with, which other women with who they wanted a threesome, etc. They were making all of the choices and I just got tired of it quite frankly. Women deserved a place where they too could find the pleasure of their own.
What began as a small community of just 300 members in my home city of London, today, Skirt Club has grown exponentially to 10,000 with events in Miami, NYC, SF, LA, DC, Berlin, Ibiza, Shanghai, Sydney, and Melbourne.
Though I have built Skirt Club predominantly out of my home office over the past three years (I now live in/work from Miami), I make sure to travel to each and every event in order to continue to be a part of the community I have created. The most gratifying part of being with our members in this manner is hearing what Skirt Club has come to represent to them, mainly, women’s sexual empowerment. I truly believe that female empowerment is best derived from confidence, therefore, we have a motto at Skirt Club that states – ‘confidence in the bedroom leads to confidence in the boardroom’. I am very proud to lead a movement that unleashes women from their inhibitions to explore their sexuality.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Culture has played a significant role in determining how and if to launch in a new city. Not all parts of the world are open-minded enough to support a community based on female bisexuality. Another pre-requisite is the financial independence of women, those who are career-minded and earn a salary are more likely to be true to their own desires and wish to act out on them. We have therefore chosen to work with major cities in the USA where educated women ambitiously seek out a vocation.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
Skirt Club is a safe, intimate and luxurious community in which bi-sexual and bi-curious women can and do explore their sexuality without the presence of men. We have a few types of events at the moment – Signature parties, Mini Skirts, and workshops. Our very popular signature play party is held in a private venue with free-flowing champagne, burlesque performances, games “and wherever the night may take you.” Sex is a big part of this evening, wink wink. Mini Skirt, on the other hand, is a cocktail soirée to meet other members. And because it’s held in a public space, no sex is allowed. However, there are still performances and drinks available. Our workshops are for members who seek knowledge. They teach you about various things, from role-playing to learning how to spank properly.
Perhaps what most sets Skirt Club apart from anything remotely similar is the women who attend our events. Many, if not most of our members are professional businesswomen or creative entrepreneurs and they’re all intrigued by one another’s personal stories and desires. They are simply more confident women who own their sexuality, demand equality and respect. I am most encouraged by the letters I receive retelling stories of Monday morning meetings where women have found their voice and spoken up after a night at Skirt Club. Our members are brave and making leaps in bounds in their quest to be true to themselves.
My most significant accomplishment through Skirt Club is that I am able to shed light on what is often a silent B in LGBTQ – bi-sexuality. As a bisexual woman myself, this is hugely important. I have helped develop not only a community but a safe one where women can share their thoughts and feelings on this often hidden sexual orientation. Our world has evolved rapidly, first embracing a gay culture in the 80s/90s and more recently transgender and non-gender identities. Bisexuality is yet another facet of our bright and multi-color world.
What were you like growing up?
Determined. Apparently, there was little point trying to reason with me as a child! Oh and fearless.
I grew up in Hong Kong and we traveled a lot as a family, I feel most at home in Asia. I’m missing Cantonese food. In Florida, it’s impossible to find!
