Social Butterfly: OurSeasons Summer

Let me say it again, I LOVE MY JOB! And attending this absolutely epic event is one of the reasons why. I can say with absolute certainty that everyone who attended had a blast, and those who didn’t, missed out on the JOL of a lifetime! The timing also could not have been better. As we wind down to the final stretch of what has been, for many, a long and hectic 2011, OurSeasons was just what the doctor ordered to recharge our batteries to face the last few weeks of the year.

Cheers to a brilliant choice in venue! Jet nightclub at Northgate mall was perfect for this event. Easy to find for those not familiar with the area and centrally located for the party animals not wanting to drive too far. Ample, secure parking, 3 Spacious dance floors, plenty chill space and more bars than we could count. A welcome change to the average party night out, was that our male counterparts were denied entrance to this specific party. I’m sure there were a few disappointments regarding this policy, but we welcome it. There’s 364 days a year we have to party with the boys so it’s refreshing  to have something JUST FOR THE LADIES.  A very nice touch was the free cocktail we received upon entry and the enticing Fruit Bodyplatter that grabbed everyone’s attention on the way to the main dance floor.

Cheers to the out-of-this-world entertainment! Each dance floor offered something different and unique to suit all tastes, and enabled everyone attending to have a night to remember. The main dance floor played host to DJ’s such as DJ Poppy (5FM), DJ Skye, DeeJay Blend and everyone’s favourite DJ, Lindie Lush. There was also a Hip-Hop/House dance floor and a Langarm/Sokkie dance floor where we found ourselves for a large part of the evening thanks to organisers, DJ’s and dancers displaying themselves as we’ve never seen before. All dance floors were also graced by the presence of gorgeous scantily clad lasses shaking what their mama’s gave them to the different genres that each dance floor offered. Then there were some phenomenal give-aways and competitions, including a langarm-sokkie competition that myself and a friend won.

Cheers to the organisers! It’s not often that LGBTI people, especially the lesbian community, have an event of this magnitude just for ourselves. And taking just the costs, logistics and marketing for something like this into account, we can only imagine it to be a massive undertaking. It is also extremely rare in any other community that you would find 3 event organisers collaborating AND finding sponsors to make one massive party happen!

The Modern L’s biggest cheer goes to Judith Nel for this amazing concept and all the events she plans throughout the year for the benefit of the lesbian community. We are looking forward to the PINK GIRLFEST, on from the 22nd to the 25th of March 2012 and if the Summer event of Ourseasons is anything to go by, we cannot wait for the Ourseasons events in 2012!
