Vanilla New Years Eve, You’ve Got to be Kidding

I got an email this afternoon from a hot club in Las Vegas touting their New Years Eve party – “Tables start out at only $1,000 and general admission tickets are just $200″. Oh yes, DJ Vice will be spinning there, whoever that is.

Why would anyone go there? The music will be so loud you won’t be able to have a conversation, and the club will be so packed it’ll be almost impossible to dance. Sure, there will be attractive, well dressed people, but as vanillas they don’t engage or talk with other people. And drinks will be $15 – $20 each, providing you aren’t spending $200+ on bottles of vodka.

Yeah, I’m venting here. And unbelievably happy to be in the lifestyle. There are swingers parties posted on Kasidie.com by groups and clubs all over the country. Everything from fantastic house parties, to professionally produced swinger club parties, to complete hotel takeovers. Most are pretty cheap (compared to vanilla clubs), all are filled with fun, sexy, well dressed, uninhibited people who are there to socialize, meet new friends and have fun.

I know some people just want to roll, sit back in semi-isolation with a few friends, and have great music reverberating their bodies. That’s cool. But for us these vanilla parties are crushingly boring. We’d rather flirt and fuck than chill and people watch. We are in this to be social, to engage with people. Vanillas really don’t have any options, and many prefer their state of repression to actually changing their lives. Fine, we pity them. And we really don’t want to spend New Years Eve with them.
