Club A$tro is Cali's hottest new STRIPPER RUN, QUEER CENTERED, ASTROLOGY BASED event company! We spoke with Club Astro's creator, Gianna (stage name Gemini) , to learn more about her events and the inspo behind her company! 💖

Tell us about your company in your own words:

Club A$tro is an event company that throws sapphic, astrology-themed, stripper parties. Our events are catered to queer women and queer people of color at large. Our mission is to create fun, safe, and queer spaces for performers to be appreciated for their talent and sensuality, as well as to get paid in a way that’s competitive to a night working at a normal strip club.

What inspired you to create Club A$tro:

I have been a stripper myself for 4 years and I am incredibly inspired by the beautiful, talented women I work with. It takes a certain kind of heart and courageousness to be a stripper in a world that so heavily stigmatizes women’s sexuality, especially when we are using it for financial gain. I have also been disturbed time and time again by the way that nearly all strip club owners, managers, staff, and beneficiaries are men. Like, why would a man be there? I also hate that strip clubs are so heavily catered to male clientele who are often very misogynistic and disrespectful. As a queer woman, I knew that there was a huge market to bring the queer community and sex worker community together by creating sexy, unique spaces for queer women and sex workers alike <3

Club Astro Party Flyers What are some of your successes with Club A$tro thus far?

My very first show in Sacramento at Faces Night Club, the biggest gay club in town, we tripled the average head count and bar sales for a Thursday night. The next night at Radclyffe’s, our local lesbian bar, we broke records for attendance and the bar literally ran out of vodka…slayyyyy!!! I had previously thrown 3 events in San Francisco which were very special and fun, but feeling this much love in the city I was born and raised is unmatched. 916, city of trees, light the mf beam! I <3 you Sacramento!!! Also, my girls go home with lots of cash, and that makes me extremely proud and happy.

What is your dream for Club A$tro? Where do you see it in the future?

My dream for Club A$tro is to collaborate with local queer women/queer artists of color on events that inspire and excite our community and bring people together. I believe in bringing people together for good fun and good energy and letting the power of community make magic from there. I would love to own my own space someday where I can throw my own events and host other queer creatives who are also inspired by their love for art, community, and a pursuit of freedom for all beings <3
