Timeline

I just bought my outfit for Homebake the next day. It’s sitting in my bag, so what else can I do? I put it on of course to try it out!

Orange jumpsuit jail outfit

Well after all this putting on the outfit, I was ready to take lots of photos. Well.. what happened was, that nobody took photos of me at all! I am walking around in a bright orange jumpsuit and nobody wants a photo… so sad.

No circles allowed
A small circle formed and people started dancing, including myself. Eventually after a few songs, half of the entire dancefloor has formed around the circle! It’s an amazing sight I have never seen here before. Here’s a video:

Security though, rock up and want to split up the circle up. What kinda policy is that? So instead of the circle breaking up – people came down and surrounded the security guard. You think they’re going to beat him up, but instead people started dancing around the security guy in protest!! hahaha hilarious. Everyone is cheering and dancing around the security guy. He stands there, unable to do anything – eventually he is taken away by another security guy, lmfao.

Arrivederci + Recommendation
We leave around 2am, to prepare for Homebake the next day!
