Was out clubbing last night with my friend Blomma. There are a lot of student nations (just google it) here and they offer a wide variety of clubs and other student events available only if you pay a small sum each term. If you choose to do so you get a student ID that grant you access to 11 pubs and/or nightclubs with cheap alcohol and some good music. Once a month there is a club called Klubb Katushka that I frequent. They play kletzmer/balkan/russian/eastern beats kind of music and there is always one live band. I love dancing to this kind of music, the beats are just so exciting! The only music I like dancing to more is the soundtrack to the Bollywood film Devdas (that really gets me into a trance)!
Yesterday was a Klubb Katushka night!
This was the outfit of the evening. It´s pretty much the same every time I go out clubbing, because I just don´t have many really good outfits for the dancefloor. The vest works well though, never gets too hot while still being very much my style! A pocket watch is good to have on a dancefloor too, so you know when to order that last drink or when to leave to get out to the wardrobe before the rush sets in. I also like to wear something shiny when I´m dancing, like this shiny gold skirt. The perfume of choice this time was Miskatonic University!
My top hat ensures that I get photographed a lot at these events, and some of these pics are actually very nice! My face generally doesn´t photograph very well as it is quite asymmetrical but certain angles are flattering. The image above is from yesterday and the image below is from Klubb Katushka in November.

Do you go out clubbing? What do you wear? What perfume? What kind of music to you love dancing to?
Oh, you are so pretty! I have some pictures like these at some clubs I've been to. They're actually quite funny, I should post them. I live in a town where clubbing is a big deal, but I guess I'm just not into it. I never really have been, like at all. But I love all your outfits, it seems like you're having such fun on those nights! Very awesome! You kind of remind me of myself, not that out style is 100% the same, but when I'd go out with my roommates, I'd always wear gothy outfits and stockings and stuff I actually liked. Seems like some people only dress for others these days, which is sad!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I´m satisfied with the vampirically white skin I have in these pics! ;D Yous should post your club pics too, they are fun to look at! I´m only into clubbing if the music is right, and I have, as mentioned, very specific tastes... I actually like dancing at home much more... Whern we have parties in the cmmune whe usually have a dancefloor (complete with disco ball and all) and there I can choose whetever music I feel like, and I wont get pushed aroud or trampled on. Katushka is very crowded and wild and I usually come home with quite a few bruises!
DeleteI´d love to see some of your gothy outfits/clothes if you still have them! I definitely agree that more people should dress for themselves only, in whatever they felt like! Most of my friends certainly do, but then again I hang with quite nonconforming people!
I will do a post sometime with those pictures. I only have a couple and they're from the same night, but the photographers kept taking my picture because I had a silly prop with me that I drunkly bought at a store, haha. As for the gothy outfits, there's one I'd love to show you. It's of me with a black dress, red stockings, and bright blue mermaid hair- but all my roommates are wearing booby shirts and mini skirts. That picture was the epitome of my college experience actually. I was pretty miserable with most of them and I moved out as soon as I could. There was one that was an absolute sweetheart and the most down to earth chick I ever met, but the rest of them were kind of just not the best people. But anyway, you're lucky you have lovely non-conforming housemates. It sounds like you have a fabulous time with your home dances with the disco ball! What fun! And not getting trampled on is ALWAYS a good thing. I actually almost did at New Years Eve. It was bad. But like 60 people in Africa actually did and got killed- it was really sad! Thay was on NYE this year.I don't think a lot of people are aware of how crazy crowded events can get, they're actually not that safe :( Now that I'm officially Buzz Killington, I'm off! :D
DeleteLooking good Nadja! That outfit is great :) I'm not a club sort of person, come to think of it, I never have been to one. Maybe that's weird, but it's just never something that comes to mind to do. Frenetic, crowded places overwhelm the HSP in me though, I'm more of a hang out and read in bookstores sort of person. I have to be really rested up to feel more social that that!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I´m not the highly sensitive sort myself but I´m usually something of a loner... I need a lot of "me time". But I also need some clubbing once in a while! I need the hyphnotic beat, the trance like state and the experience of being only body, no mind, no thought... It´s not at all about the social aspect for me, I need the sounds and the lights but don´t need the people...
DeleteI'm too old for clubbing now but even when I was a young 'un I didn't really enjoy it. I don't like crowds or super loud noises, and I really hate being in places that are hot, which all clubs are (or were back then, anyway). I was kind of an old lady even when I was in my teens, lol. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLol! I agree that the heat is nasty! Last time I went clubbing it was so hot and humid on the dancefloor that my glasses fogged when I walked into the room... I definitely dislike that! And getting trampled is never fun! I once had my foot stamped on so hard that it was purple for most of a month and hurt for even longer than that... But that elusive dancefloor induced trance keeps me coming back for more punishment...
Deleteyou are rockin that dance floor with that outfit girl! ^_^
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
