Each year the Guilty Pleasures Stage Show performs hundreds of audience-participation driven scenes for the attendees of TRAUMA. Those who volunteer to be consenting and active participants in sadomasochistic activities, as a part of the performance experience, have an opportunity to learn about various kinky forms of play.
The stage show started out as a live and interactive BDSM performance at a Goth industrial night club located in Columbus, Ohio known as Outland, and is purely volunteer driven. To fulfill the show’s core value that “an educated community is a safer community,” the volunteers serve as resources and mentors to promote active-consent based communication and opportunities to share knowledge with other explores of kink activities.

Stargazer Boutique
Stargazer Fine Jewelry
Our story begins in 2014 with Scylla Fine Jewelry. Nick was approached by Micah to help with the long and demanding list of the growing jewelry company. It was then that Scylla relocated from Chicago to Columbus, Ohio. Over the years, we have created, changed, improved, retired, and dreamt up design after design. Because we have always been piercer(s) owned, led, and inspired, we feel confident that our jewelry is top quality and as easy as possible to use.
At the beginning of 2021, we had a change in leadership and knew that it was time for a rebirth. With the addition of Megan and Ali at the helm, and a large collaborative effort, Stargazer Fine Jewelry emerged. In our metamorphosis, we reignited our inspiration as we reworked and revamped every aspect of our business. We gained a new perspective, curated a new company culture, and reconnected with ourselves.
Welcome to Stargazer; where we continue to evolve and learn from each other. We want to make the world a better place, one piece of jewelry at a time.
