Okay, I admit it, I have some wild and crazy friends. One of the things I both love and sometimes don’t love about this bunch is that they push me out of my comfort zone. Sometimes waaay out. Which is how I find myself today going clothes shopping to several stores I have never before been inside.

Gulp.

Here’s a hint, they sell a lot of black – leather, pvc, mesh and so on. One was called Dare to Wear.

 

I could let out my inner Barbarella...

This is because I am joining said crazy friends at a club on Saturday called Sin City. I would send you photos of me (snort) but no photos are allowed in this club. There is, I am told, an area downstairs called the dungeon. I would wear my normal twin set and pearls, but it seems there is a dress code. Show up in fetish gear or go home. Apparently, twin sets and pearls constitute a different kind of fetish. Hmm.

 

Of course, I am going in the name of research. And I hear the dancing there is really great. Naturally, I will report back. Hopefully not from the dungeon!

Update on the shopping trip: I actually did really well at H&M. Got a darling little black dress covered in metal studs, which is apparently all the rage. Who knew? And black chunky heels that I will never be able to walk in.  Long black gloves and a friend is lending me her red wig. Should be fun.

Anybody  have any experience of these kind of clubs?

What’s the craziest thing your friends have ever talked you into?

Tell all!

    Hah! Wouldn’t that be a great theme for a Harlequin party? You could wear your Tongues of Fire necklace ;-)

    Sounds like tons of fun- all in the name of research :)

  4. I’m in awe. I think we’re going to need a picture (P) –maybe in your foyer before you leave for the club. Especially since this is all for research and therefore tax deductible, you’ll evidence for the IRS. ahem. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it. ;-)

    Can’t say I’ve ever heard of one of those clubs. Does that mean my life is boring? You will have to spill all afterwards. LOL I haven’t really done anything crazy on a dare or because someone talked me into it but I did move across the country to meet my first husband for the first time then married not too long after that. We were pen pals for a year before that. We were married for four years and had two beautiful children but have since moved on. :-)

    Photos for sure!! Patsy, I’d say moving across the country to meet someone is a pretty awesome thing. Good for you for having the courage. Sorry it didn’t ultimately work out, but at least you ended up with your fantastic kids.

    D.L. and Juliet, I am laughing at the thought of trying to deduct my bright red wig and fishnets on my income tax :-D
