The outfit-planning. The choice of destination. The build-up. It doesn’t take much convincing for us to get involved in a Big. Night. Out.
Like most of our readers, we’ve had a fair few of these over the years, and to this day they never quite seem to meet our expectations.
Here’s our take on expectation versus reality when it comes to a big night out.
1. Applying your make-up
Expectation:
I will be flawless.
Reality:
Not so much.
2. Deciding what to wear
Expectation:
There are so many fantastic options in my wardrobe.
Reality:
Not so much.
3. The pre-drinks
Expectation:
Just a few cheeky ones with the girls to get the night started.
Reality:
Oops.
4. Arriving at the nightclub
Expectation:
We’ll strut to the centre of the dancefloor.
Reality:
Straight for drinks.
5. When someone spills a drink all over you
Expectation:
That won’t annoy me too much.
Reality:
Can’t even.
6. How you look on the dancefloor
Expectation:
Beyonce has nothing on me.
Reality:
It’s not pretty.
Or sometimes it looks like this. Depending on the form.
7. What you look like when the lights come on in the club
Expectation:
Flawless.
Reality:
Sweaty times.
Sprite, the truth is refreshing.
