eve - it's not the in thing. it's same as it always was.. has a following.. but usually not everyones cup of tea. it's just there's a scene for it in glasgow so is quite common here and club noir nights are well known for an alternative to a normal night out.
"outfits/lingerie".. can mean a whole range of things eve... really something you would need to be explained in full so you know what your in for.
it could be a cheap tacky anne summers type outfit... or something more upmarket like the noir outfits... if you go look at my pictures you will see some of the previous noir photo's.. last halloween noir was rather dark.. as a group we had a bondage theme together going on. it depends the theme of the noir night. this time the theme is sailor and samba. there will be lots of sailor outfits.. and some rio carnival dancers... think huge feather headresses and bikini's adorned with jewels.
there's a strict dress code. EVERYONE must be dressed.. and it must be classy.. not tacky or admission will be refused. which they do stick to. people spend hundreds of pounds on their outfits and the event.. it's wrong for it to be ruined by someone who's got their primark bra on and acting like a slapper
there's shows on stage from 9pm till 2am when it finishes..
arcobatics,
poets
theatre tricks
magicians
dj set(retro music)
and of course burlesque dancers.
it's held in big old theatre where you can be down the stalls area standing to watch.. or grab a seat up in the auditorium and watch the show.
it's very heavily security with very strict bouncers. but tbh i have never seen any bother.. and to be truthful i get felt up more on a night out in a normal club. people dont try and leer and letch even though all dressed like this
its usually same crowd. so spend alot of time going round seeing faces you know and seeing what they have dressed as. compare outfits.
eve - your outfit thing can also go to the bondage type outfits.. which are a bit much for me... or he might just have a specific thing like suspenders.
or maybe he likes the uniform type of outfits?
where did you see it? on a profile... or has your young althetic expressed a fondness???
