Dublin Night Poem by anais vionet

It's 1: 30am and we were at a cute little dance club in Dublin called "The Sugar Club." It's a converted movie theater with tables in stadium seating rows. That night was Salsa themed, and the regulars were stylin' - the men dressed in white Havana or Colima, Italian Linen and women in bright salsa dresses.

The DJ was mixing a gr8 groove - with music from Bassia, Brazilian Girls, Kate the Cat, with some ElectroSwing thrown in from Tape Five, Pink Martini and Doja Cat (Yes, I asked the DJ for his playlist) . The tiny, darkly-disco-sparkling dance floor was crowded and refrigerator cold.

We had a good time. Irish guys are funny and unpredictable, they'll say practically anything, "Shall I buy you a drink, or do you just want the money? " and those brogues make everything they say spankin' hot.

We all danced a few times, but Sunny's a gwyn who never seemed to tire. Guys kept asking her to dance and she seemed happy to oblige - I would have collapsed already.

There was a dead-fit guy, Rían, throwing a strong Chris Evans vibe, who seemed completely smitten with Sunny. He seemed a real dean but he didn't 404 that Sunny's femme-facing and that he might as well be offering lettuce to a shark.

We'd discussed the possibility that things might come up and decided to avoid delicate public acts of disclosure (Sunny's gay, Leong's a communist, etc..) - we're trespassing different cultures on this trip, after all.

We explained to Rian that we were students, just in town for the Duran Duran concert, and consoled him with a couple of "Black & Golds" (Kahlua, whiskey and orange bitters) - he was a LOT of fun to talk to.

The bartender asked me if I was one of the colleens with "Margot Robbie" - he was referring to Lisa - which Anna found amusing - but I think Lisa's way phater than Margot.


Slang:
gwyn = a hot dancing queen
dead-fit = gorgeous
dean = a nice guy, a gentleman
404 = clued into the fact
femme-facing = lesbian
phat = pretty, hot and tempting
