Guest AkiraC Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 Is white party more for masculine or specific kind of gay guys? (As I could only see those mascular guys in their advertisement) and it seems like an event for guys to show off their abs. Quote
jfarmer017 Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 White parties were traditional parties on Labor Day, the unofficial end of the summer season, and is related to the old fashion rule that one should not wear white between Labor Day and the following Memorial Day, the unofficial start of the summer season. Circuit parties do have a reputation, in my general experience, for attracting the older gym bunny set. But I'd say the most specific "type" drawn to such parties are those who enjoy (a) heavy drug use, (b) promiscuous sex, and © loud, crowded dance parties. I don't mind (a) and (b) but I loathe © and avoid circuit parties like the plague. Alexx 1 Quote

Sorry for sidetracking, Labor Day means a different day and possibly a different season for non-Americans. Quote

jfarmer017 Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 Sorry for sidetracking, Labor Day means a different day and possibly a different season for non-Americans. Sorry, I had intended to point that out but forgot (you know us American's reputation for ethnocentrism and all ;-) ). In the US and Canada, Labor Day is celebrated on the first Monday of September whereas most countries in the world celebrate it on May 1st. Incidentally, it is my understanding that Thailand is one of the few countries to have no labor day public holiday. I thought in US that Labor Day was the end of the white season not the beginning. Yes, that is what I said. It is the unofficial end of the summer vacation season and the last appropriate day to wear white until the following Memorial Day, which is celebrated in the US on the last Monday of May. In other words, it was considered fashionable only to wear white during the summer vacation season, which unofficially began with Memorial Day in May and ended with Labor Day in September. Quote

aussie_ Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 The usually have muscle guys dancing on stage at such parties in Asia. I would much prefer twinks dancing on the podiums but i guess they know their market and the parties are usually sell outs. rollingstone 1 Quote
