With a background in floral design, I’ve always been drawn to the beauty and meaning flowers bring to everyday moments.

Game Night: A Very Fey Drag Dungeons & Dragons
2026-06-26 19:00 - 21:00 | The Eclectic Chic Boutique, 547 Bloomfield Avenue, Montclair, NJ, 07042, United States
Adventurers! Join us for a fun and fantastical one shot D&D campaign, facilitated by a magically whimsical Drag Dungeon Master. We embrace the quirky, the chaotic, and the downright silly. No experience necessary, we welcome players of all skill levels. We’re all about having a good laugh and creating unforgettable memories together. Players aged 16 and up are welcome to play. This is a safe space for all, including LGBTQIA+ and Neurodiverse folk.
🐲 Players will be playing the one shot The Solstice Gala: Welcome, Dear Players, to the Seelie court’s Solstice Gala! Perhaps you’re a ranger or warlock who has harbored favor with an Archfey. Maybe you’re a native to the Fey wild looking to celebrate the Endless Sun. It’s possible, even, that you’re a mortal who has been whisked away and replaced by a changeling… who forgot they had a ticket to the Seelie Court’s largest party and now you’re filling their seat. Whatever the reason, you have earned your way into Titania’s banquet celebrating the Fey Solstice, when the Seelie Court welcomes continuous sun for the next century (in Fey time, of course). Chaos is sure to ensue– it’s the Feywild, after all.
We will be playing a fully home brewed one shot in D&D 5e with an emphasis on roleplaying. Characters are welcome to be any level 5-8 and we will be using the point buy system to build our sheets. While it may be tempting to play a level 8 bard with max charisma for a social one shot, remember playing a low level fighter who can’t string elegance together to save their life might bring its own unique challenges and fun. We welcome you to the Feywild and hope you try the food and enjoy your stay!

✒️ Upon sign up: Participants will be sent a discord invite and a consent form to fill out. This allows you to directly speak with the DM and establish what you are comfortable with in a Dungeons and Dragons game.
🎨 What Will I Be Using?
Participants will be using character sheets, dice and character models.
🎁 What Should I Bring?
Participants will need to bring their own dice (or can purchase dice at the store for 15% off), and are encouraged to bring their own models if they have them.
👪 What Age Group Can Participate In This Class?
This class is appropriate for Teens aged 16+ and Adults to participate in.
🧑‍🏫 Who is Running this session?
Your Dungeon Master is Pompton! the Drag Queen.

Pompton! the Drag Queen (she/they) is a New Jersey based long time D&D player and dungeon master. She started playing with 3.5 and has maintained a more analog style of play, often resorting to pencil and paper even in their online games. Having a degree in Theatre, Pompton! enjoys delving into character psyche and building narrative informed by her PCs’ stories and motivations. She recognizes the limitations of D&D and welcomes the rule of cool, so swing for the fences. After hearing of Eclectic Boutique’s hunt for a drag DM, Pompton! Has decided to emerge from a drag hiatus to pursue a cause near and dear to her heart: being an unapologetic nerd.

🧑‍🏫 Who is Running this session?
Your Dungeon Master is Carrie Lowther.

I have been an artist for as long as I can remember, transitioning into digital art world well over a decade ago. I’m largely self-taught and in addition to being a digital artist, I am dungeon master for D&D. I’ve been doing that for a few years and love to let my players do some truly off the wall stuff. I live by the rule of cool! Between teaching and being a dungeon master, I believe that people should be able to just throw themselves into whatever they are doing and enjoy what they create/discover. My favorite part of the process is watching a student find their own “aha!” moment when a new technique clicks.

Who is teaching this class?
Juanita Martin

Combining my background in fashion design with a lifelong love of crochet, I create unique “Confetti Jewelry” using wire, crystals, and gemstones. My work is inspired by nature and geometry, serving as a textural tool for communication between the artist and the wearer. As a Reiki Master and sound therapist, I cleanse and infuse every piece with healing energy so that my clients both look and feel great. I also offer signature wire-wrapped gemstone lines and custom designs tailored to individual needs. Whether through my finished jewelry or my holistic workshops, my mission is to share positive energy and artistic beauty.

Driven by a desire to create art on her own terms and provide for her family, Simone launched her practice four years ago with a focus on creative independence. Rather than viewing herself as a traditional teacher, she identifies as a facilitator, fostering an environment where the learning process is a collaborative journey.
