It used to be when I wanted a ladies night out I’d have to plan days if not weeks in advance. The Friday night sessions would end up with me at some restaurant, house music blasting (which I hate) they would refuse to serve me hot chocolate after a certain time (I don’t drink!) and I’d end up going home smelling like an ashtray.
Due to the advent of social media I now have ladies night out in the comfort of my house with out even leaving my bed. At almost 9 months pregnant with out a single cute dress that fits or heels I can wear you have to understand my excitement.
Every Friday night I tweet up (meet up with via twitter) the ladies @lihle_z, @alambe, @zoddies, @nkuli1 and @Mslishia to name a few and we watch the series channel together we laugh our way through (or at least i assume from the Lol’s, Lmao’s and twitter smiley face icons that we are laughing) She’s got the look, Project runway, and Fair ladies Style intern.
Never did I imagine I’d have so much fun with people, if they are real people, since I only have their avatar’s to go by and honestly I find myself chatting to an avatar of very cute manicured toes in beaded sandals who refers to her children as Thing1 or Thing 2.
Above all I’m just glad to find that there is more to social media than haters, and swag and that a person can have normal conversations with normal people.
