Rainbow Parties
The recent publication of a novel for teenagers titled RAINBOW PARTY has revived debate about whether or not such 'rainbow parties' are real. As a recent NY Times article explained, "rainbow parties are group oral sex parties in which each girl wears a different shade of lipstick, and each guy tries to emerge sporting every one of the various colors." Such parties are supposedly all the rage with teenagers (kids these days!... what will they think of next?). In the book, a teenage girl has to decide whether or not to go to such a party, but the party ends up never taking place.The concept of rainbow parties first gained widespread attention back in 2003 when a guest on the Oprah show claimed that all kinds of teenagers were going to these things. But the thing is, tales about rainbow parties always seem to be third-hand: coming from adults who are trying to raise alarms about teenage sexuality. The same NY Times article notes that "Many say rainbow parties are just a new urban legend -- suburban, actually -- not much more trustworthy than the old stories about alligators in the sewer."
I'd have to agree that the rainbow party concept is probably more urban legend than reality. It reminds me of the Jelly Bracelet tale (that teenagers supposedly wear color-coded jelly bracelets to indicate to other kids what kind of sexual acts they're willing to perform). But as always with such things, it may have started out fake, but give it enough time and someone, somewhere, is probably going to be inspired to make it real.

I think this just might be a spin-off of the new Oral Sex trend, that teens have admitted that oral sex is the new cool "non-sex". (Even though, I doubt even the claims of how prevelant this is, is suspect.) And maybe one kid was bragging that he had multiple shades of lipstick you-know-where, and then turned that brag into a party. (And essentially the 'original' incident never even took place.) Sorry, even the slutty girls that I knew when I was a teenager wouldn't give it to multiple guys at a party...and the slutty teen girls I know now wouldn't give it to multiple guys at a party.

Let's see if I have this straight: Since we all know that rainbow parties don't happen, if someone claims to have been to a "rainbow party," that's evidence that they are lying. Thus there is no evidence for rainbow parties. Thus we know that they don't happen.
Riiiiiiiight.

Currently I'm in highschool, and I hang out with the goths and punks but not consider one. My friends and I are sexual active, all the girls including myself are bi-sexual, some are homosexual, most of the guys are bi, some of them as well are gay as well, but some are even straight but had bi experimental experiences.
Everywhere we go, we're either kissing each other, groping each other, or pulling each other's clothes off. In my freshman year, I had my first experience with girls during an orgy, 5 girls only because we kicked the guys out of the room. Whenever I'm at their house, something sexual is going on, upstairs, in the closets, in the stairs, once right next to me as I was on the computer chatting with some friends. We did have a rainbow party once but the girls also got kisses everywhere on their bodies as well. I have to say it was a blast because even the guys had to wear different colored lipsticks.
It was just for fun and we wanted to try it out.

Posted by kathryn in australia on Tue Aug 16, 2005 at 01:14 AMYeah, talk, talk, talk ...
Everybody's talking about it, but still nobody's answered my original request:
"... just tell me where I can find one of these parties..."

I hear than Jenna and Babs are having a party this weekend at their house, you know, the big white one on Pennsylvania Ave, and all their friends are coming... sorry...
Posted by Hairy Houdini on Tue Aug 16, 2005 at 10:28 AMLook dont be stupid ya'll. Stop and think about it. If there were indeed such parties, given the nature of oral sex, wouldnt the first color pretty much be smeared off by the next girl? and so on? Rings of colored lipstick on his stick may be a male fantasy but no way its happening.
Besides that it would be nearly impossible to find enough lipstick to make a rainbow of colors. Mostly red and pink.

Actually the first lips go to the base of the dick and than it goes up therefor its nto smearing the other lipsticks. And theres actually all different color lipsticks, purple,blue, yellow, green and so on. You can get them mostly anywhere they sell make up now.
Posted by China Doll on Tue Aug 16, 2005 at 02:31 PMPartyboy, all we are asking for is some actaul physical evidence, not some "i seed it" report or a claim of someone's cousin's locker neighbour.
Several teens have videoed themselves committting acts of vandalsim and other stupidity: By now, if these parties were real, someone would have made a recording of some sort. That would constitute proof.
Is this a concept that is too hard for you to grasp?

Chyca sez:
" ... wouldnt the first color pretty much be smeared off by the next girl?
If they're using regular lipstick, yes. On the other hand, if you draw a ring with a permanent marker, it's on there for at least a week or two. Try it.
And markers come in a wide selection of colors (you might even say a "rainbow" of colors.
Mind you, I still don't believe anybody's really doing this. At least, my invitation hasn't come in the mail yet.

After awhile it gets hard to clean all those marker colours off you hand. I recommend Goop. It works wonders.
Posted by Charybdis in Hell on Wed Aug 17, 2005 at 03:01 PMSo if you saw a video of several girls sucking off several guys, you would believe?
Posted by partyboy on Wed Aug 17, 2005 at 06:16 PMAn orgy video isn't going to prove anything without the lipstick. There's about a million websites with "real" college girls getting gangbanged. Those girls are actually pros though. You did know that, didn't you partboy?
Posted by Thelonious Monkey on Wed Aug 17, 2005 at 07:58 PMThank you for that extra explanation for partyboy's education, Thelonius. 
I would confess that such a video would assist my belief, but it would also have to be backe dup by data that the people in question were who they said they were as well, that is not actors.
Just a quick question partyboy; why is it such an important part of your belief system that others must accept the existence of these parties? You remind me a lot of certain religious individuals who need to convince others of their faith to truly accept that faith themselves.

Has anyone noticed taht even the participants in these "parties" seem unable to agree on what goes on there to justify the name? One crew says its lipstick, another says its Magic Markers.
Could be a regional difference, to be charoiitable. My feeling is that much like other reports of sexual activity, its utter BS.

Wait a minute, there, Stuckey, I was the one who mentioned the Magic Markers, and I never said these parties are real. In fact, in the same post, I said, "I still don't believe anybody's really doing this."
Posted by Big Gary in Dallas in Dallas, Texas on Thu Aug 18, 2005 at 02:41 PMHey, easy there Big Gary - No offense, I'm just saying that the story seems inconsistent around the place. Whoever told you about Magic Markers is obviously not the same circle that talks about lipstick, which is why I raised the point of inconsistent stories.
No offense meant

A few bars and clubs in Holland hand out coloured bracelets. The colours indicate whether you're single, up for a flirt, up for a one night stand, or gay. So it sounds more like a reality than a myth
Posted by Tychikus in Hilversum, Holland on Fri Aug 19, 2005 at 12:18 AMTychikus, that one doesn't translate. It's like saying that because you can buy marijuana brownies over the counter in Dutch cafes, then you can do so anywhere in the United States.
Although I was aware of the party scene in the Netherlands. Not that it would ever work for me, given that the women there still have the same human conditioning.
