Here we are, well into the New Year ready to uncover, explore and experience more LACE after an admittedly neglectful period on my part. Neglectful in posting but not in action. I finally made it to a “SPICE NYC” event several weeks ago for Nikki Hill’s (with SPICE NYC and The Lesbian Mafia) 30th Birthday at Club SPiN—Susan Sarandon’s new 13,000 square foot table tennis nightclub on Park Ave— In short, as my memory of the occasion is less than morning after sharp, the party took place in SPiN’s VIP lounge, which was an ideal venue, providing a large enough space for 200 or so ladies to dance but small enough to make it cozy and give the VIP room a club like feel of it’s own. The DJ, who I wish I remembered the name of, was right on, mixing old school and new school with crowd pleasing danceable beats, a very much needed and very much appreciated skill! The ladies were of a different type than I’m accustomed to seeing out at my usual Brooklyn hipster dance party; dresses, makeup and heels galore- don’t get me wrong the butch-femme dynamic was still very prevalent, but it certainly didn’t overwhelm or make me feel boxed into any particular role. The party and clientele are very much what they say they are:
A promotional company that caters to the socially mobile, vibrant, women of New York City. Our main objective is to provide a safe place for women to socialize and network in a fun, friendly, no pressure environment where you can also admire your surroundings.
The scene was refreshing and reminiscent of my week in LA in the fall, but it still very much felt like home. Dancing till 3am, table tennis, live marching-esque band, sexy ladies, good music and good times had all around!
