Salute to Cool Clubs!

Hey guys,

Hope your weeks are off to a solid start! Johnny and I just returned from our vacation in Disneyworld today, so expect more regular updates - promise ;) Oh, and the new DIVA and DIVO for April will be announced tomorrow!! I know we're halfway through the month, but the feature stories aren't really planned to always start at the beginning of the month... sometimes it just depends on timing (and how easy it is to set up interviews! ;) )

Anyway, while me and Johnny were in Disneyworld, we checked out the dance club Mannequins on Pleasure Island. What a cool place!

To enter, you ride an elevator up to the second (or was it third?) floor... you enter and you're on the upper, catwalk level that overlooks the dance floor. The room is decorated with neon colored mannequin figures glowing under blacklight. There are lounging areas and a DJ booth, but then you descend to the main dance floor level: damn! The dance floor is constantly ROTATING, which is very dangerous after a few Red Bull & vodkas, let me tell ya ;) They also do an amazing job with lighting, the sound is superb, and there's some extra touches (like periodic blasts of cold fog, perfect to add to the atmosphere AND cool off sweaty dancers!) that make it a damn fun place to party. I have to admit, I was a little surprised... I mean, it's Disney - not Ibiza! haha.

The music was awesome, too... no hip hop! Unless you count an interesting remix of Fergie's "Glamorous" (but I don't). I remember Kelly Clarkson "Walk Away,"... Madonna "Jump"... and a bunch of other pop remixes... my fave kind :)

Anyway, it made me think... what's the coolest club you've ever been in? I mean, I don't know that MANNEQUINS would be my ultimate #1, but it did make me think back on all the different venues I've experienced... anyone have any favorite places, experiences, or incredible clubbing moments that made you ask, "Why Can't EVERY club be like this?"

Just wonderin'!,
