WEDNESDAY MAY 21, 2008
You Can Call Me Lola
Hollywood's fascination with lesbians is back. From Scarlett and Penelope making out on camera to SATC's Miranda making out off camera; from Ellen tying the knot with the hot blonde from Allie McBeal to Madonna's latest snog with one of her backing dancers (oh Madge...). Still, this hasn't done much to popularize the trend among common folks it seems.

Tomorrow, though, someone's taking a bet that this is about to change, as the new lesbian club La Luxure is opening its doors. But this is no knitting club. With play rooms, dark rooms, and live shows, it will have all the bells and whistles that the boys have long enjoyed in typical gay clubs.

So how many gals will make it out tomorrow? And how will they keep away the randy men in disguise (like the female dwarf who allegedly caused, erm, oral mayhem, by hiding in the dark room, that pitch-black cruising labyrinth of groping at gay club, Metro)?

Maybe they'll just put a few airport security staff on the door, and pat us down to check for any hidden weapons.

La Luxure - opening 23h Thursday May 22
General Mitre 169, Sant Gervasi
EUR 8, free entry until 01:30h. with flyer
