So, I was out downtown not long ago and had the pleasure of being entertained by a large group of women. You have seen it before.. They were all clearly dressed for a “special occassion” and my guess is that the youngest of the group was still well over 40. By 11pm, it was obvious that they had consumed a fair share of “spirits” and were having a great time.

I am no hater, so I just sat back and enjoyed the show. Plus, it was nice to see something different in one of the clubs I frequent. And that’s what got me thinking…

At what age are you “too old” to be going out dancing downtown? I am not talking an occassional ‘girls night out’… I mean on a regular basis… Does it matter which bar/club you go to? What you wear? If you are male or female? How you dance? Or how often you go?

Now, I am no spring chicken and there have been many times that I am sure I am the oldest female in the club but it hasn’t stopped me yet. When I was young, I used to think… hell no, who cares… I will go out as long as I want.

Then you wake up one day and your kids are old enough to go to the club and pointing out how embarrassing it is that you still go. Will I turn around one day and find I am one of the “old ladies” that all the young people are staring and laughing at?
