XXL

15/08/15: Remember the Spice Girls’ video for Wannabe where they stampede that hotel and cause chaos?

Well I was definitely Scary Spice as my XXL-virgin friends and I crashed into the club last Saturday night.  We headed for the pop room, where DJ Joe Egg had the mixed crowd (hot hairy bears, gym-honed demigods, and me) spinning around to Whitney *flashback to me screeching I Wanna Dance With Somebody*, camp classics and Motown.

We got ‘’turnt’’ (consult the Urban Dictionary white people) in the main room, all dramatic smoke machines, flashing lights, and empowered female vocals over filthy house beats by Alex Logan, Christian M, and XXL’s new superstar DJ, the funkalicious FunkyBear!

I was too busy dancing to visit the infamous darkroom, but let’s just say my friends have had their XXL cherries plucked! XXL’s ‘’one club fits all’’ ethos is apparent, and in an age where assimilation seems to be impacting our community, it’s important that we maintain our queer identity. See you next Saturday! It really DOES fit all.
