If Sex Can Be Reinvented...

Then there's hope for the nightlife...right?

I can remember that a part of my wanting to be an adult when I was younger, was wanting to get dressed up and  going to clubs and bars. Oh how my mind has changed and I'm not even 25, but I suppose I'm a "tween" again, meaning I'm somewhere in between being young and being old, or that maybe my generation is getting younger and I'm lost in translation. Either way, the nightlife and I have grown apart.

Perhaps I shouldn't have started thrill seeking in 21+ clubs as an underage teen, I should've partied a little less in college or club hopped a little less when I moved back home. While I enjoy getting dressed up, dancing and a few drinks here and there, I could really live without: the large, sweaty crowds; the long lines; the ridiculous cover charges; the crunk music;  the kids; the creeps and the barsexuals.

And I find that sometimes for me to stomach the club setting I end up being the drunk, hot girl...rarely, but still I don't want to have those nights I can barley remember.

So I'm exploring some old ways with a new little twist to enjoy the nightlife again.

The dinner and a movie setting...[Muvico, ICON] perfect for g.n.o, bromances and everything in between...sure I can't shake my groove thang but it's good food, good entertainment and with the right group of people, it's a really good time.

The bowling alley, or should I say "club bowl"...[10 Pin, Lucky Strike] upscale bowling alleys provide the ambiance of a club without the "kids" & "creeps" and  if the music is right, I'm subject to bust a few moves.

Winetasting...helllllooo Coopershawk...okay so no bootyshaking and it doesn't jump all night but it's a tasteful way to get overserved lol and it's only as fun as the folks you bring along.

.....And these days I'm all for an old fashioned house party and music that reminds of the days when I was just a kid wishing to be a grown up. And don't let there be a strobe light...can we say tearing up the dance floor! lol

Although finding a good club is like finding a needle in a haystack, I haven't given up hope yet but I am becoming reinventive. Eat your heart out Usher! #yeahisaid!t
