23 Words That Have A Different Meaning At A Girls' Night Out

Bartender: The person whom you will tell all your secrets to after getting drunk and appointing him as your personal psychologist for the night.

Bra: The place you store your phone, money and miscellaneous valuables.

Bus: The place you sleep in on your way home. Sometimes this can be replaced by a taxi, but usually you will have no money for one, because you spent it all on drinks.

Club: A place with sticky floors and too many people, where you go to have fun.

Clutch: A miniature version of a bag that fits almost nothing and makes your outfit look complete. It is usually used to store your lipstick because your actual things are in your bra.

Dress: Something that has less fabric and more sequins than it should and is not considered acceptable attire for anywhere besides a club.

Getting ready: A 30 minute process that takes you 2-3 hours, because you have to change multiple outfits, do your hair and makeup and predrink at the same time, all while texting and snapchatting with the rest of your friends to discuss what they will wear as well.

Heels: Very expensive torture devices that you buy with the intention to remove half way through the night and carry inside your bag for the rest of the time.

Wake Up Call! - A poem about change

For The Sephora Kids And Their Parents - A poem about growing up

When we were young we wore pound shop blue eyeshadow shared peel off nail polish in the playground and sucked red lollipops to stain our lips. When we were young our value was measured in Diesel and Longchamp and you could not join the cool kids if you did not share their body type. When we were young we had to return expensive gifts  to make the money go further; my mother said "I don't deserve designer clothes" and I carried the wound for decades. Now that we're old  we take our kids for shopping sprees we give them all their mind dreams fulfil not theirs, but our old needs. When they get old will they be filled with gratitude, or are we, in turn, getting it wrong and raising broken kids with attitude?
