THE WAYOUT CLUB AT CROSSWALL

by: MisS VictoriA DaviD



I arrived in the afternoon at Victoria Station and was hugged by my dear friends who were patiently waiting. We soon set of with excitement and visited a few touristy places then, our day began!

The sun was no longer shining but the temperature that night was still quite warm. So we were delighted to stroll around the streets. That is why, we stayed outside and savoured the Caribbean- like climate that most of us here have been yearning for in this cold country. We kept walking and walking, and honestly we really had no fixed plans where to spend the rest of the night. In the end, we all enjoyed our roaming and even felt a bit euphoric at the very freedom we had. It was already nightfall when we finished wandering around Central London but our energy levels were still up and high, and certainly we were still very vigorous. As if we were injected with a dosage of Epinephrine. Just a joke!

Even though we used too much energy, from late afternoon 'till nightfall, we were very surprised at not feeling exhausted and burnt- out after all the travels we made. That is why, I suggested travelling to Tower Hill Station and hunt for the famous WayOut Club. Honestly speaking, though I suggested the club itself, I didn’t really know where it was located and only remembered a few landmarks on the way to its exact location. Which was very helpful, indeed!

We arrived at the Tower Hill Station and I thought locating The WayOut Club would be very difficult and I had made a terrible mistake suggesting it. But it certainly wasn’t! Though the exact location of the club on the google map was a bit wiggly woggly in reality, tracking it down was uncomplicated and very easy.

When we were at the Tower Hill Station, I asked myself which way to go? Instead of trying to remember the way, I just obeyed my instinct. And that was to follow the well-groomed gents and attractive ladies who all turned right when we came out of the station. My intuition was right! Its because on the second right turn, its Crosswall alley and The WayOut Club façade was flashing with bright lights. Actually, it was like calling and charming our attention from afar when we saw the club.

We located the club but I was still feeling reluctant to enter or even to approach the building. Months before, I had spoken to a regular customer and was told that The WayOut Club was visited mostly by spiteful and unpleasant people. And honestly, her perception about the club was absolutely wrong and a very arrogant opinion.

We walked toward the entrance where we were greeted by a muscular security guy as well as a friendly and warm woman receptionist. After paying the entrance fee, a wooden staircase guided us down to the main venue. But before that, a coupon for my own complimentary choice of drink was handed over by the receptionist. She said it was exclusively for women.

We all went downstairs and were greeted by cheerful lights from the doorway leading to the main venue. The colourful lights were creating reflections and even seducing our eyes. We entered the room and the dance floor was located at the centre where it was enlivened by exquisitely beautiful and sexy women. They looked so hot in their fancy outfits and high heeled stilettos too.

Soon I was starting to enjoy the ambiance as well as the people of The WayOut Club. I suddenly felt regretful for not making our visit to this alluring night club a planned one. And also for not wearing more appropriate attire or a body hugging party dress too. All in all, I really had a good time, especially before the the club became packed with people. Just sitting on their pod bar stool while watching people come and go-out of the main dance floor was a satisfying scene for me.

We ordered our drinks and freshened-up in the toilet for a moment and after that, we sat to one of the corners...

While waiting for more people to arrive, I saw familiar faces and even met and chatted in the flesh an adorable facebook friend. Her named was Abby Tolentino who had come straight to The WayOut Club after her shift as a nurse in the busy metropolis. It was very warming to have talked to her and it's true what Miss Laura Loon said to me about her. She certainly had a great and endearing personality which I felt when we were chatting, like ordinary friends. Her endearing attitude showed even more when she introduced me to a few of her lovely friends.

The place was soon heaving with people and getting more intense and boisterous. As a matter of fact, most customers were just happily standing while enjoying a glass of drink in their hand. Actually, some were scrutinising whose who in the crowd. What I mean is, its a night club and most people who were there would love to meet a voluptuous woman or a handsome bloke to know or more. I even saw a few virile and yummy guys who enticed my finicky attention. But honestly, I didn’t give an inkling that I found them very desirable. Its because I was with friends when we went there, so behaving goodly and divine were in me that night.

The sensational and extreme part of our visit to The WayOut Club wasn’t starting yet. But we decided already to leave the place as we were getting exhausted. And also, we'd been touring around Central London since afternoon. So its inevitable for our energy levels to be quickly diminished!

Before we left the place, I had an opportunity to have a quick chat with Miss Vicky Lee. She's the woman who manages the entire club and at that time, was wandering around to make sure that everybody was very happy and contented with the entire show. Aside from amiable Miss Vicky Lee, I also noticed that most of the staff were light-spirited, attentive and polite to the customers present that night.

It was my first visit to the famous WayOut Club and one of many good things about it was that. The management don’t restrict what kind of clothes you will be wearing, as long as you are presentable and decent. This makes The WayOut Club comfortable and is almost a home from home for Transgender people and their admirers.

THE WAYOUT CLUB AT 2AD

by:  MisS VictoriA DaviD

Almost 11 P.M...

The wild condition of the wind outside had already calmed and settled down while most streets became taciturn and dull. This was the tune of the surroundings when we stepped-out of our room and walked to The WayOut Club. But that night, it wasn’t at Crosswall!

That night, the quietness of the streets emphasized the clicking sound of my heels. It was an ear-popping sound which bounced off the walls of buildings as we passed. Each alley was cloaked in silence, enough for me to feel a little anxious. However, the street lamps as well as the other clubbers gave us a feeling of safety.

We were almost there at the new location and could even see outside the club the resplendent lights and the colourful six foot notice board printed on canvas. We were like fireflies attracted and charmed by its glimmering portal. The new venue was called 2AD at 2 Crutched Friars, EC3N 2HT and it was at the centre of a modern low-rised building.

We entered the hallway which led us to an elevated reception area. And after paying the entrance fee, a changing room and cloakroom on the right side was visible and just waiting to be used by excited customers. It was literally a changing room especially allocated for those who want to use all their skills to make themselves even more beautiful before dashing and showing themselves on the dance floor.

We moved ahead and down a wooden staircases with a landing half way. This guided us to the underground level where we found the main venue and dance floor. At the end of the staircase, we saw a wooden cushioned sofa with a framed rectangular mirror above it and next to it was Miss Vicky Lee with a table bursting with glasses of champagne. We were greeted by her and offered a free glass of sparkling wine before entering the doorway going to the main venue. The first thing we encountered was the bar, which was already taking orders from customers.

We sat on one of their sofas and the club was very loose and relaxed. And if I'm not mistaken, there were more than 20 people at that time including us who were enjoying and observing each other.

I was new to the place and naturally, very curious. That is why, I nosed around and found out that the dance floor and the stage was placed at the far end of the room and had two types of built-in seats. To be more specific, the dance floor was on the left side of the bar and away from the other 4 sets of sofas near the doorway. I even checked the ladies toilet and was surprised to discover the extra feature inside. A huge set of wall fitted mirrors, commonly used and found in most gyms, were on the left side. Most useful and welcome for all glamorous and conscious women who love checking their selves from time to time. Actually, I was one of those women who found the mirror alluring after flushing the loo!

I went back to my seat and in less than 30 minutes, customers were arriving in flocks; some just individuals and others in boisterous groups. And that was also the time I recognized familiar faces. Amongst them was Vany Lacsamana who looked stunning in her cream coloured midi vest body con dress; approachable Isabelle Cortez who was sophisticated in her all black outfit and Jill Del Valle who wore an orange one shoulder, above - the - knee dress which made her skin tone more vibrant. Alongside were Maria Alma Mae Conde who was luminous in her Miss Sixty stripe body con mini dress.

It didn’t end with them only as another group of lovely women appeared just before the club was becoming more crowded. Namely, Samantha Jade who looked foxy and seductive in her fringe; the modest and demure AJ Mendoza; the amusing Liandra Gandara who looked sexy in her white skinny jeans; the colourful Miss Mitchsimone Thomas who greeted me with an amiable smile and the assertive Miss Abby Tolentino.

When the clock was heading to the wee small hours, guest performers such as Miss Dee Chanelle, Alexis Mendoza and Silver Summers started to energise the dance floor. With what? Nothing else but with their own versions of reinvigorating boogie songs. They were great singers with charming voices who insisted that the crowd would sing and dance with them, while belting out on stage. All I can say was, they controlled and rocked the dance floor!

While everybody was still perky and at their height of excitement on the dance floor, we decided to go outside for a breath of fresh air. Standing in front of the building we felt the cold early morning breeze on our skin. While we were still there, I noticed by chance that the lights from the club irradiated the dark street. The silence was broken by the chatting from other customers which disturbed the tranquillity.

We couldn't stand the cold any longer and that's the time we decided to go back downstairs to warm ourselves again. And after almost 30 minutes of enjoying to the fullest the ambiance downstairs, Ash and I went back home with big smiles on our faces.

Aside from having a great night at The WayOut Club, I loved also the new venue's arrangement of the dance floor and the centre stage. They may not be at the centre like at Crosswall but as positioned, it gave all of us who stayed mostly in front of the bar a good chance to talk without the need to maximizing our voices. The guest singers could perform making all those on the dance floor lively and active, but also we could enjoy a conversation. Which is, in my opinion, like staying in a bar or restaurant with buoyant background musics being played.

I honestly had an ecstatic time and was very pleased we planned our visit to The WayOut Club's new venue.
