As friends arrived, drinks were bought and I daydreamed about a Bellini, Mimosa or a Cosmopolitan. Why wasn’t there such a cocktail promotion anyway? A little sophistication never hurt.

When the musical started, we weren’t sure whether to gawk or cringe because it felt like a school sketch. I tuned out of the dialogue after a few scenes. Fortunately, there were a few eyecandies on stage to help us forget the cheesy script and awkward acting.

amajor_resonance noted that only one type of lesbian relationship was portrayed, mirroring that of heterosexual relationships and how some male-to-female transsexuals have internalized all the ideal images of a woman deemed appropriate by society.

My goss of my evening is witnessing a model being smooched by a local celebrity. We tried to dance thereafter, but the DJ looked bored and the dancing was disrupted by brief pauses between songs and too swift changes in tempo.

Dance floor

The guests were in the early twenties or younger, so maybe that is what they like. I preferred the more upbeat music and considerate spinning at the Two Queens party which I attended in August. The crowd was more mature and dance floor smaller. (I hear they’ve moved to a different venue since.)

In any case, there is room for greater diversity, higher standards and creativity in the nightscene for queer women in Singapore.

Nightlife organisers, if you’re listening, here’s my wishlist for a good party: low or no cover charge, cocktail promotions, good music and a clean, spacious, well-ventilated venue.

I heard the ladies bit for the Nation Party at Phuket was pretty bad as well. Under 40 women turn up for the expensive, waste-of-time, trip.
