I want to attend a "Skins" Party!

    They look like fun - but I'm too old (and married). Bummer! :(
    France's kids have gone mad about TV "Skins" parties apparently.

    Excerpt:
    Skins, a cult television series about a group of teenagers in Bristol, is being blamed for a French adolescent craze for debauched fancy dress evenings of drinking and drugs.
    From Marseilles to Paris, “le Skins party” is a rallying cry each weekend for thousands of teenagers, most from well-to-do families, who dress in masks and torn stockings to lose themselves in sex and drugs like the stars of their favourite programme.
    The spectacle of drunken, drugged-up teenagers cavorting in little more than their underwear has stirred unusual angst in a country that prides itself on being broad-minded.

    So now I know what's keeping Frances headshops in business!
    Why wasn't I born later in the century? What a crock! :pac:

    :( cringe....it'd just be full of yoofs in skinny ties and cardis tryin to be 'buzzin'.

    You're better than that Biggins.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 96 ✭✭captainjack


    Sounds like my sort of party....

    I know, I had me moments raving with the best in Manchester when it was born.
    Now THAT was fun. :D
    I think some of the youth today are filling in a gap for crazy madness.
    We had the "Free Love" sixties, the Rock and Roll period, The rave craziness, and now...
    Heck, I'm old - not too sure! :D

    Young people going to parties, taking loads of drugs, wearing mad clothes and drinking.

    What an innovative and crazy bunch these French are.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 539 ✭✭✭piby


    So it's basically just a house party with loads of mindless sex thrown in! Actually scratch that it's just a standard house party then :D

    They're just called "Fridays" in this country Biggins. No age restrictions apply. Have fun.

    I miss the mad days though and playing dominoes down the local just don't shake things up for me.

    are you having a midlife crisis Biggins? perhaps you should go get a tattoo or buy a motorcycle.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,840 ✭✭✭Luno


    This is what a Skins party would be like no lie!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,148 ✭✭✭✭KnifeWRENCH


    who dress in masks and torn stockings
    This bit has me puzzled. Skins characters never wore masks or fancy dress. Why can't they dress normally?

    I think you could be on to something. :pac:

    No the roach is worse.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,256 ✭✭✭c0rk3r


    If you want to bang a drunk/drugged up indie/electro teen try crawdaddys tonight or Whelan / twisted pepper on the weekends.

    Ive been trying to get into the wesley for some snowballing action but they keep telling me im too old, damn.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    You ask what the idea is?” said Philippe, the 16-year-old son of a Parisian lawyer who boasts of being at the top of his class. “What’s the idea of any party? We like to cut loose and let ourselves go, just like in the series. The only ones who don’t understand are stupid old people.”

    Stupid Old People are the worst kind of old people. I know, I'm one of them.

    It's funny seeing the 20 year old haircuts dancing away in Whelan's and being so "with it" and having big dramatic arguments about everything. They try so hard to be like the young wans they see on the telly.

    It's cute (and I mean that in the most patronising way possible) :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 204 ✭✭h8red

    Agreed. A dope fiend refers to the reefer butt as a roach... because... it resembles a cockroach. Has to be the worst part.

    Aye...Maybe they'll start having them for over 35's......We're probably too self concious though....

    It looked too much like another "hollyoaks" with an extra dose of "edgy" mixed in for me. All I've ever seen is the trailers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,691 ✭✭✭Lia_lia


    Ah yeah, pretty much the majority of parties I used to go to. Except for the silly clothes. And in France they'd probably be better looking.

    I think we should have a AH party which involves us getting naked at our computers whenever on AHs.






    I realise all of us do this anyway
