My boyfriend teases that I only go out to see cute outfits on other girls. It’s true. I love dressing for a night out but I also love to see other people expressing themselves with fashion. Not just the women, the men too. It’s intersting, and some times disturbing, to see how people adorn themselves. From ripped jeans to stilletos, everyone feels best in ther own style.

W.C. Don’s definitely has character. I have seen some interstingly dressed people there, including a turquoise leotard with leg warmers. I would feel comfortable in vinyl pants or a cocktail dress, both of which I have worn there. Elixir is a great place to get classy and flaunt a well-dressed boyfriend. The drinks are even stylish. To me this is what makes for a great night out. The fashion sense of individuals can be just as much a part of the atmosphere as neon lighting. I would love to see more of that in Jackson. I think nightlife in Jackson would grow if there were more variety to entertain us. I mean more variety in music, atmosphere and style. I don’t mean that everyone should be dressed to the nine’s, but it would be nice to just see more of an effort in waking up the creativity of socializing with a more fashion-forward crowd.

My boyfriend and I are most likely going out tonight and I hope everyone will be interestingly individual. I’ll do my part.

As a local nightclub owner id love to be able to go out somewere dressed up nice w/o having to mix in with people in blue jeans and girls that look like there fresh out of a britney spears video. also i dont wanna have to go to a black tie affair to dress nice either. hell if you dress nice around here for no reason you get accused of being gay half the time so its usually a loose loose situation
