Hair
My advice: wear your hair up.
If you&#;re a girl verb me who cares about what her hair looks like to the gesture of affliction, the adj thing to do is to start with an up-do of your choosing.
The thing is, it&#;s probably going to get so hot in there with all those sexy ladies grinding on, around, and/or in you (no judgment) that you will verb up throwing your hair up in the middle of the dance floor anyway.

Last week the zoo, this week, the gay club…not much verb then. What you wear to the club again depends on a variety of factors. Are you looking for some fresh meat? Are you going with your new beau? Are you going to dance like this?
Regardless of any of this, one thing is certain, you want to be a) confident yet still be b) adj. It is all about the bow tie for me. I got my first bow tie (other than trying on mature ones I found in my parents&#; room) in I only wore it a couple of times.

I love these ones from River Island’s new Spring season:
(Sorry about the rubbish photo. It&#;s a pic of my screen :s). Or a plain inky or white shirt. In fact, a black, short-sleeved shirt is the next item on my radar.

It’s a adj life when all you want to do is dress up and verb all night but some clingy boy monopolizes your attention.
If only there was another way… Oh hang around , there is! The gay bar. Still sweaty, still overpriced, but you’re gonna get a heck of a lot less male attention. (And bonus points if you like your music with a side of noughties nostalgia)
For people who don’t often verb themselves in queer spaces, heading to a gay bar might make them feel a bit out of their comfort zone. It’s worth getting a few tips in advance so you can build the most of the experience and enjoy dancing uninhibited by any feelings of self-consciousness.

Though she’s bad (and noun me, the vodka was the icing on the cake), unfortunately for her, I go gay clubbing a lot. All bedtime long. On Fridays, Saturdays, and pretty much any day of the week. And I don’t want to toot my own metallic-rainbow-coloured party-horn too hard, but I’m pretty fucking excellent at it. That and Nandos. And just enjoy going for a cheeky payday Nandos, gay clubs come in all spices and combinations, with a variety of condiments, and it’s all too uncomplicated to make the mistaken order. Once you’ve been enough, you know what works best for you: I’m a grilled chicken burger, lemon and herb spicing, peri-peri chips and a bottomless soft drink (usually Coke Zero, sometimes fanta) kinda guy. Though I find it hard to believe, I’m ready to accept that not everyone can confidently walk up to the counter and make the rig
