Me, Klair and Eileen dancing at Dorkwave waaay back in the day
After my last post, Lindsey mentioned there wasn’t anywhere to go out dancing in her town. So, my dear, I have a solution – make your own dance party!
Grab your friends, load on the makeup and sequins (you can be ridiculous as you want since you won’t be leaving the house), fill up your iPod with my No-Fail Booty-Movin’ Playlist, push the furniture out of the way and get dancin’!
| Goldfrap – Ooh La La
Le Tigre – Decepticon MGMT – Kids Peaches – Shake Yer Dix Ting Tings – Shut Up and Let Me Go Vampire Weekend – A-Punk Justice – D.A.N.C.E. Young Shields – When You Were Mine The Prototypes – Who’s Gonna Sing Ladytron – Destroy Britney Spears – Gimme More |
Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Date the Night
LCD Soundsystem – Daft Punk is Playing at My House Of Montreal – The Party’s Crashing Us Men, Women, & Children – Messy The Dismemberment Plan – Gyroscope MSTRKRFT – Easy Love Muse – Starlight New Young Pony Club – Ice Cream The Rapture – House of Jealous Lovers Tyvek – Give It Up |
This playlist may also be used to make house cleaning and errand running more fun. You’re welcome in advance for the workout ;)
Here’s a little outfit inspiration:
My dance party essentials include:
Flat boots: I need my shoes to stay on my feet, protect my toesies from getting stomped and let me last all night. I don’t want to have to stop dancing halfway through the night.
Small bag: If I don’t have pockets I rock a tiny bag from H&M that’s big enough to hold my BBerry, camera, money, ID, and lipgloss. It has a long strap, which I wear across my body so the hands are free for ridiculous dance moves.
As little clothing as possible while still looking classy: Bottom line, it’s gonna be hot and you’re gonna get sweaty, so I opt for a light dress with shorts or leggings underneath.
Have fun and if you put my playlist to use I want to see pictures! (xosillygrrl@gmail.com)

My girlfriends and I have always been partial to “Physical” by Olivia Newton John, but we never say no to any playlist iTunes Genius creates under “Respect,” “It’s Raining Men,” or “Proud Mary!” :)
love passion pit, love this playlist!!
have you been to macho city? It’s next weekend, I hear it’s the dance party to end all dance parties around these parts :)
No Passion Pit? Am I the only person who likes that album?
