XXL

29/06/13:  After a day of stumbling around Pride, these Pulse virgins decided to head down to Southwark and try out XXL for the first time…

And XXL it certainly was; in our drunken state we counted at least three rooms (there may very well be more) with ceilings at least twelve foot high and, unless we were tripping, at one stage we chilled out in some XXL oversized sofas made out of neon pink grass.

A large number of the men were XXL – some bulging out of their hotpants, others bulging from protein shakes and some from McDonalds. Men galore, of all shapes and sizes had descended on XXL to shack out to some of the campest tunes that were being pumped out.

We had a lot of fun on the crowded dance floor, dodging grown men and muscle Marys shimmying and squealing to Euro pop – it was Pride and those proud Marys were LIVING.

It’s quite unlike any club we’ve been to before, but as soon as we’re recovered from Pride weekend we shall be returning for some XXL fun.
