DA PINQUE HEN

HEN PARTIES!
I first heard the term from a friend, When I asked her what in heavens name was a hen party she promptly replied a party where no 'cocks' (male chickens0 are allowed!
Popular in the 60's and 70's, they were all female events where everyone was free to voice their concerns, where the issues best left for "polite company', could freely be discussed. It was Food Fun and Fashion and all the girlie things we forget, or have put aside in an era of equality!
We will revive these parties in 2005. At least once a month we ask women, to revisit a time when women were female, and when femininity was savoured. We will present our lingerie , host workshops on the things female want to know about. We will discuss women's health, home decorating and 'man-handling"! We will speak and read poetry, dance, sing and party!
