Who fancies clubbing in the naughties with me?

I'm wearing a strappy top over my jeans, bought myself some Impulse O2 you can borrow, got my hair in front bunches.

Let's go and stick to the floor in the biggest nightclub in town, go two's on a Marlborough light on the dance floor and I'll buy the first round of 2-for-1 bacardi breezers.

Who's in? What are you wearing?

Oh hell yes. I'll even put a Boots Shapers egg sandwich in my fridge to look forward to in the small hours.

What's the theme at the gay disco then? Wild West? Cruise? Chavtastic? I'll need a week's notice to hit the charity shops and get my mate to do his stuff (chopping, stitching, creating) because amazon doesn't exist yet and fancy dress means make your own, plus we're skint, obviously!

If my hair doesn't fit the theme it's fine, I'll just wack a Casting on it, doesn't really matter how it fades because I'll just dye it again anyway.

You bring the Moscow Mules and the Jean Paul Gaultier, I'll get the ironing board out so we can fake surf as we do our makeup.

I’ll be the one in the black a-line mini with thick tights and knee high DMs, teamed with fitted, cropped t-shirt and scrunch dried curls!

I’ll have come out with a tenner as it’s 50p entry and free drink in the club for Ladies Night, and I’ve got a couple of bottles of 20/20 (blue coconut and kiwi lemon) stashed in my handbag.

BearTrap · 05/01/2024 20:39

Just one night to go back would be ace! Can we organise a mumsnet butlins 90s/00 weekender?!

WyrdyGrob · 05/01/2024 20:40

I’ll slouch along to the outing to the 90s please.

lve had my undercut clipped on a no1 this afternoon ready for going out, I’ve got my band T-shirt, jeans and DMs and an ear full of piercings. And a sullen attitude.

order me a pint of cider and black please

PinkArt · 05/01/2024 20:40

I'll have a Metz please. Looking forwards to not being able to feel the inside of my mouth tomorrow.
I've topped up yesterday's mascara and added some Juicy Tubes. I smell of the Angel I got for Christmas. My 20 something boobs look fantastic in my push up bra and lamé top. Also sporting some stretch denim boot cut jeans, heels that will make my feet bleed when I walk home to save on a cab fare and an entire bottle of hair glitter.
I'm just turning off my Kylie CD and I'll join you all at the bar.

Thanks @ELCismyspiritnana mate don't worry I'll push my boobs right up in my little top 😉

Smashing, it's 2 for £2 on the drinks so I'll get them in while you nip to the loo. Mind and take 20p to tip the attendant for a lolly. I'll swap when you get back and scope out the talent while ur gone.

Andnowshesatoddler · 05/01/2024 20:44

It's only minus 3 I'm not wearing a jacket!

SallyIsEverSoNice · 05/01/2024 20:01

Sorry girls, running late, my mate is getting off with a bloke in our pre-drinks pub. I don't like the look of his mate, he's already asked for my phone number and I've given him the flirt-divert one from the radio. Should be there soon, what's the queue like?

Bump the queue Sally, me and sickoffamilydrama have sweet talked the door staff and our group is vip tonight. Text my Nokia when ur 10 mins away and I will meet you at the door.

MustBeThursday · 05/01/2024 20:48

I'll be in my black vest top with the see through lace back, a denim miniskirt and cropped leggings with lace trim, and my favourite black and pink polka dot peep toe shoes from Topshop. 2 long plastic necklaces (one fake pearl, one black beads), wrapped round twice with one bit like a choker and the other end long. Lots of glittery eyeshadow from 17 and some shiny lip plumping lip gloss that my hair (lots of choppy layers and an emo fringe) will stick to any time I turn my head. Get me a VK orange and some apple sourz in, would you? I'm not up for aftershock anymore after the last time...

CharlottePimpernel · 05/01/2024 20:50

Me! With my Kangol perfume and Spectacular glitter on my cheekbones, I've done my hair in my mum's Babyliss hot rollers and there's a powerful smell of sizzling setting lotion. I was very trashy as a teen (still am) and I'm wearing a PVC skirt and a tiger print top with a Wonderbra and chicken fillets.
Pitcher of Lust in Wetherspoons first and then on to the club for Pernod and coke.

Moleskin black trousers , a strappy top and these horrors on my feet . Pineapple barcardi breezers all night long and a return ticket on the bus from local pub that did a trip to the club and a circuit around the town as the return leg.

The minibus sized bus was driven by an old chain smoking guy and I swear it was held together by duct tape and zip ties.

You must be in the nineties too! These were all the rage when I was out in the 90s, but well gone by naughties.

I think most posters are misreading the title!

Dug out my white gloves and glow sticks and got my whistle round my neck and my bounciest trainers on, but fear I’m in the wrong decade? These girls are covered in lip gloss and are on those new fangled posh drinks instead of just necking water from the bathroom sinks. Where’s the chill out room?

Come hang out with me, one of my friends was given a flyer for a rave in a warehouse somewhere in East London, if we get off the tube in Bow and wander around for a bit we’ll hopefully meet other people who know where it is.

I'd like to place a bet we all had these bad boys!!

louderthan · 05/01/2024 20:54

Me! I'm wearing my parachute trousers and a pink vest with a silver dragon on it, my hair is in space buns and I've got silver stars stuck on my face. I may or may not have a couple of e's in one of my many pockets.

If it's a couple of years later I'm essentially dressed like Kelly Osbourne. Probably wearing a tie with a vest top and arguing that the White Stripes are far superior to the Strokes.

Fast forward a few more years and I'm dressed like a Nu Rave Alexa Chung. I fancy myself as a stylist and keep taking pics of random people's outfits with my digital camera. I will probably go home with a boy wearing skinny jeans and a shirt with a pie crust collar.

I'm practically a hermit these days but would genuinely turn up for this haha

SallyIsEverSoNice · 05/01/2024 20:58

@EarringsandLipstick I think I'm definitely clubbing at the millennium, so I'm bridging the gap x

But most of those replies (which I'm really enjoying btw!) are firmly mid-90s - low cut jeans, smoking indoors, Rachel-cut. All gone by 2000!

ELCismyspiritnana · 05/01/2024 21:04

I think the fashions depend on your town. I was wearing those platform sliders in 2000/2001 and they were all the rage. Also, high heeled flip flops and knee high stretch fit boots.
Platform trainers were out by then, but etnies and duffs were in for the "alt" crew. I also had a mad pair of red or dead sandals which were literally a block of solid wood with leather straps attached. I luffed them.
Before 1998 i was too young to go out and by 2002 I was in a different country and never went out clubbing. So I had 4 glorious years lol.

PangramAddict · 05/01/2024 21:05

I'm off to the uni club night wearing a top from Tammy Girl (hey, if you can wear kids clothes and skip the VAT go for it!), baggy trousers and chunky trainers. I will drink weedkiller (reef and blue Curacao) and can't wait for the green beer poos tomorrow! Hope they play "killing in the name of" and all my indie faves!

Ahwig · 05/01/2024 21:07

I've laid on the floor with a clothes hanger in my hand hooking it through the zip of my jeans to do it up. Admittedly standing up from the laying down position is tricky but hey it's luckily good practice for years later when I'm heavily pregnant 😂

Clicktock · 05/01/2024 21:08

Goldshlagger! Now that brings back some memories! Or lack of...

EarringsandLipstick · 05/01/2024 21:09

That's interesting @ELCismyspiritnana

I'm in Ireland, which I assumed would be behind UK fashion!

The sliders were popular in 97 / 98 - my first year after graduation, remember clearly, but definitely gone by 2000, when I'd done a second MA & was in a 'grown up' job with meals out & travel! 😀
