Bring the rave bak around (because i no how i feel about you now)

I had my first experience of a rave last nite & have decided that I want to be bright, neon & shiny (8) Forever eva & eva eva, Forever eva eva! (8) I clearly missed out on THE great nightlife decade. This is why I think we shud bring rave culture bak around:

  • The music is insane (but doesnt quite hav the same effect wen u turn it up loud on ur home stereo mid-afternoon the next day why is that??!) Pendulum was definitely one to crank up - turn it up LOUD

  • The clothes are outrageous - where else wud u be able to get away with leopard print tights, leg warmers, glitter, pimp hat & neon heels & not be asked 'How much darling?' ! (Ah wait that did happen after all :P)

  • Every1 lets go & dances like a crazy person. 'How to dance at a rave' (search it on youtube - do it do it now!) is an absolute must-see or perhaps its onli strange swedish ppl that dance like this! Anyway my personal faves are the bicycle pump & ping-pong - one word, AMAZING

  • You get to spray neon, UV paint everywhere & generally make a mess

  • Experimenting with spandex, hair dye, eyeliner & nail polish is encouraged even amongst the guys who actually seem to get more into it than the girls :S (WARNING: check on the package first that the hair dye will wash out as 20 hair washes and a suspension from college later & my friend is still attempting to remove pink hair dye using bleach & any number of other products!!!)

  • You get to glow in the dark & flash all at the same time which is perfect if you thrive as the centre of attention - go on release your inner Diva!

  • Its all very liberal & free thinking - the girl who held the party comes out as being gay then the DJ announces that she is too & suddenly every1 wants to get involved!

  • You get to blow rave whistles - whistle for a hottie whoop whoop!

Phew, well after all that excitement all I can say is - bring on the 'Old Skwl' Party next weekend & since I was an 80s love child i shall expect i will fit right in :)
