The Guilty Pleasures night club rocks my world; I really can’t say how much fun it is, so instead I thought I would share them with you myself.
Based in the UK, The Guilty Pleasures celebrate music that is wrong -- so wrong, that it is SO right. They play in a club where you go to dance your socks off to classic tunes we all love, but would never admit to loving. You know, the kind you pretend you are buying for you mother or old aunt.
There is a (fairly hot) vicar there who takes your confessions and gives you shots of confessional vodka. To make it more fun, each month is themed; for example, past themes have included space, nurses, monsters and cowboys. It is like being at a giant fancy dress party and is ridiculous amounts of fun. Oh, and there are men covered in glitter (The Glitter Bandits) and a dance troupe that are like Pans People on crystal meth!
Oh I don’t know what else to say. Check out the video to see what I mean and see some really, really bad drunken dancing by me (I have no recollection.)
