11/01/2012 - Going out in Houston--A Girl's Perspective

Okay ladies, so it's the weekend--you don't have to work, you just got paid, and you're ready to step out.  What next?  Well, there are some rules for girls for going out in Houston.  If you follow them all then you're sure to have a good time!

Rule #1--Choose your friends wisely.

Not every one of your friends is a partying gal so be careful who you invite to go out with you.  Avoid friends who are full of drama, never have any money, or will ditch you for the first guy they meet.  Be careful when inviting your depressed friend with low self-esteem; she will be a party-pooper unless your goal was to spend the entire night cheering her up.  Do invite your fun friend who is easy-going, friendly, and dependable.  Going out alone is not an option--always party with a friend.

Rule #2--No cover charge is the best cover charge.

Being a girl has it's perks, like free entry to a club or bar.  Not every club offers this benefit and it's not offered every night of the week.  Some clubs have free entry for everyone until a certain time, or free entry just for ladies.  Either way, check www.HoustonNightOut.com to see what clubs and bars are in your area and which ones will let you in for free. 

Rule #3--Dress to impress.

For most working girls, going out is a special occasion so make the most of it by dressing the part.  Browse the photos on the Houston Night Out website to see how people at the club you chose dress.  You don't want to be overdressed or underdressed.  Whether it's a casual affair or after-five attire, remember to be sexy and classy.  When you go shopping for your party outfit--don't choose your look from the mannequin!  The worst thing you can do is show up wearing the same outfit as another girl!  Instead, mix and match and accessorize.  Add your own personal style and flair.  Also, make sure your shoes are stylish, yet comfortable so you can dance the night away!

Rule #4--Safety first.

To protect yourself, don't bring a big purse or bag into the club or bar.  Carry minimum items such as your ID, cash, cell phone, keys and lip gloss in your pockets or in a small bag that you can tuck under your arm.  Also remember to stay with your girls and keep an eye out for each other at all times. No one in your group should leave the club without everyone knowing who you're leaving with and where you are going.  If you are drinking, be sure to designate one of your girls as the sober driver for the night!

Rule #5--Have fun!

It's not every day that girls get to have fun, so enjoy yourself.  Let loose, dance and have a good time.  Take plenty of photographs of your picture-perfect look and share on social media websites so everyone will see how great you look!  When partying at a Houston Night Out venue, be sure to get your picture taken by the photographer so that you can be seen on the Houston Night Out website.

Ladies, there's no better place to step out on the town than Houston.  Follow these 5 simple rules and you will be sure to have a great time.  Whether you go out every week, once a month, or only on special occasions, Houston Night Out has the info you need to enjoy yourself and have the time of your life!
