Lisa E was 20ish when she told me she felt clubbing was the ultimate "Peter Pan Lifestyle". I think she was right. I agreed the idea of 'going clubbing' is as perfect world for escape from the tick-tocking crocodile we call growing up now as it was then.
My girlfriend and her friends still like to go clubbing . . . and they're all about 30.
Girls playing dress-up is something that never grows old it seems. Although how they dress and where they go changes as they age or as the era changes it's sill a bunch of BFF girls putting on their going out costumes.
Lisa E's world was NYC discotheque Danceteria, Palladium, The Limelight and she was reigning Queen Of The Night . Your girlfriend has a NeverNever Land that contains Beer Pong.
Trust me when she's all serene in her bespoke gown and you are all uncomfortable in your custom tux when you go to your season box at the opera you'll look at the 60 year old woman on your arm and see, as clear as day, the 20 something year old girl playing dress-up that you fell in love with.
Girls will be girls and boys will be boys. This is fact. As long as at the end of the night they still fit together... all is right in the universe.
