Dancefloor Etiquette Tip # 5


"Keep your hip bones to yourself!"

There are certain nightclubs I just can't go to anymore. They're the ones where all the girls, male or female, like to wear midriff tops and have their skinny hip bones jutting out all over the place.

Furthermore, they tend to congregate at clubs where you can't breathe to begin with because the promoters have let in too many people, so the dedicated clubber must battle their way from the bar to the dancefloor, to the toilets, and back to the bar again amidst a sea of sticky-outy hips that belong to people who appear to not have any idea that there's anybody else there.

They will walk right up to you as if you're invisible and BOOM! there goes a hip-bone sticking you in the guts or elsewhere as you find yourself sandwiched between them and about three other people (possibly including someone you've been trying to avoid all nite...) then BOOM! there goes another one. It's exhausting, especially when the bar is only ten feet away but it's taking half an hour to squeeze through. Somehow though, the midriff girls manage to swan past, not only getting you with their hips, no that usually just comes first. Their stilettos can follow, crashing into your ankles or stepping on your toes, as they breeze past, spllling their drink in your vicinity. This, of course, becomes so much worse when one sees this while on the Danclefloor itself.

Shame on you. It's SO not disco! And by the way, that look is so tired. Get over it. And please, eat something.

Luckily for me, we don't see any of this nonsense down at Wonderland, which is attracting a fabulously diverse crowd of seasoned clubbers each Friday who don't need any tips like this. And this weekend is going to be the biggest yet in our three months so far. One of New York's finest Divas, the vocal talent Inaya Day is coming to perform this Friday. It'll be so much fun. Please join us ifyou can.
