Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Crinkle Collective?
The Crinkle Collective is an Oklahoma-based organization dedicated to creating safe, welcoming events and gatherings for the ABDL, littles, and ageplay communities. Founded on the principles of love, acceptance, and support, we foster a space where members can connect, learn, and embrace their authentic selves. Through our diverse range of events, we aim to support community pride, inclusivity, and self-acceptance.

What kinds of events does the Crinkle Collective host?
Our events range from public meet-ups at arcades and bars to more private, vetted gatherings for verified members, such as house parties. These gatherings provide various types of opportunities for members to socialize, build connections, and create lasting friendships in a safe, inclusive environment.

This approach allows us to be open with our community about how donations, supplies, and funds are allocated to support our mission while allowing us to grow at our own pace.

Are there local ABDL-friendly bars or businesses?
We’re actively working to develop a list of Oklahoma businesses supportive of the local ABDL community. As we build these relationships, our website section labeled “resources” will be updated to include local bars, stores, and other resources that align with our values.
