The Do Over - LA's Day Party

So I don't know how long The Do Over has been around for, but all I can say is that I know it's been longer than my cousin and her husband got married, because that's where they met! Anyways, to continue my best friend's birthday festivities, we decided to hit up The Do Over at Lure, which was formerly Cabana Club (aka The Most Ratchet Club in LA).

I'm so happy that LA has day parties, because it gets old going out at night and takes me back to my second home, Vegas. I actually prefer day parties more than night parties any day, I mean at least you have more time to recover so you don't feel like complete crap the next day.

So back to The Do Over! I highly suggest coming here if you're all girls because, you don't have to wait in line! Yes, that is true, just walk straight to the front basically. It was a bit slow in the beginning and ridiculously hot, so my friend and I went inside and shared a carafe of sangria which was $30! Yes, the drinks are pretty expensive there! The sangria though was pretty good, everyone who was there seemed like they had at least a glass.

The good thing about day parties without a pool is that you can dress pretty regular and no one would care. I mean my friend and I didn't look completely helpless, but I like how comfortable the environment was. If I were to describe the types of people in regards to race who went there, it would be mainly asians and blacks. The one factor that is probably the deciding factor if I would ever go to The Do Over again is the music selection. I really don't know how to describe it, but I did not like the music at all! I mean people were dancing, but I feel it was just because they were feeling kind of tipsy. I mean dancing is better than just standing around right?

If you are looking for things to do, definitely check out The Do Over at least once!

CABANA CLUB, more like Gh3tto Club

Last night I went to Cabana Club in Hollywood. I've low key always wanted to check it out, but never had the opportunity, unless last night of course. First of all, ladies have to pay $20 to get in! I'm not sure if it was because it was already past 11, but what the heck! NOT COOL...

Upon entering the place, there was a backdrop and a few photographers taking pictures of people. They even asked my friend and I to stand there to take some pictures, like they were coaching us on what to do. This one photographer in particular was like "Look like you're having fun!" "Look flirty, like you don't know we're taking a picture of you!" Obviously an awkward situation when these bright lights are blasted at you, and people are watching.

Not to be blunt, but the place was filled with black people, that were kind of hood, yes I said it. Girls who shouldn't be wearing certain attire, had the guts to wear it. The guys were lame. The music was pretty lame as well, all hood hip-hop type stuff. There was an instance when I was waiting outside the bathroom for my friend, and these girls were about to get into it when one didn't say 'excuse me' two times. And yes, I was about to scram, I am not going to get involved with some senseless stuff as small as that, I am way above it TRUST.

I can definitely see this club being a hot spot because the decor was pretty nice. It had palm trees, many cabanas, and different bars to prevent overcrowding. There was also another room you can go into if you want to escape the hectic nature of the main space. Maybe this is the usual scene for a Friday night here at Cabana Club, but I suggest you not go if you're like me. What this club needs is a different, more sophisticated type atmosphere that attracts a more diverse crowd and a better DJ that plays songs people want to hear when they go out.
