These days the euphemism is "going dancing," but I remember when the proper terminology was "clubbing." That term is unbelievably cheesy, but then again so is the activity. I have a love-hate relationship with that whole scene. I lovelovelove dancing, and I'm quite fond of donning a short skirt with tall heels and seeing other girls in their respectively scandalous outfits. But, the hollow exclusivity and random mash-up of people in general really puts a damper on things. My slowly creeping disgust is perfectly timed though, as I am turning 29 in a couple of weeks...which is practically 30...and a 30-year old at a club is mildly inappropriate...

It's a good thing I'm also quite fond of brunch. Brunch is a very appropriate activity for an almost 30 year-old.
wow, i couldn't agree with you more. i also have a love/hate with "clubbing." it serves no purpose in my life right now. "brunching", however, is very much preferred. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat I hate most about clubbing: CLUBBING PANTS. Is that even a thing anymore? Bleh, good riddance.
ReplyDeleteYou'll be happy to hear that, no, they don't exist anymore! It's the era of the short skirt and cute minis.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell are clubbing pants? Hahahhahahhaah! Were they black and big? Are those what they were? Anyways!
ReplyDeleteSaying that you're going clubbing "at this age" does sound pretty horrific. We'll just have to chalk it up as "a night on the town," "out with my girls," "partying it up." I don't know... I DO still want to go dancing though - I mean...when I'm not a gajillion pounds of pregnant mama.
Brunch IS very appropriate as is GAME NIGHT!
Um I think ironic "clubbing" is just fine. And 29 is not too old to "go dancing" on occasion. This is LA after all, otherwise known as "Never Never Land," and honey, if you can give the Taylor Swift generation a run for their money in a mini, why the hell not?!
ReplyDeleteI hate Hollywood guys though and clubs are full of them. bleh.
HAHAHA! Jen, I love this entry!
ReplyDeleteWhen you start LOOKING like you're in your 30s is when you should stop going clubbing..and also just stop leaving the house all together and get a few more cats.
