Last night, UCD LGBT Society hosted their annual Alternative Debs night in the Copper Alley club in the Arlington Hotel. This is UCD LGBT’s biggest event of the year, and is open to anyone who wants to go. Tickets were a steal at €10, with all the proceeds going to charity. In the past, the charities have included the Irish Cancer Society, Aware and Seomra Spraoi, among others. So, we got to have an amazing night for a good cause, and those are always the best nights.

The idea of the Alternative Debs is that it’s the debs YOU always wanted, not what your school said you could have-as in with the Alternative Debs you can wear whatever you want and bring whoever you want… So, I wore a suit and brought a girl, which was a huge change from my own debs when I had to wear and dress and bring a guy. And at home, if you didn’t have a boy to go with, you simply didn’t go! And asking someone to it was tantamount to a marriage proposal…Thankfully, this debs is a bit more casual, and way more fun!

Outfits last night varied from tuxedos to suits to debs dresses to pyjamas! And I’m pretty sure there was one guy going for the pirate look. Prizes were given out for Best Dressed, Most Alternative, and Debs King and Queen.

The DJ was fantastic, with music ranging from current chart hits to 80s and 90s, which kept this writer very happy…especially the group air guitar session for Don’t Stop Believing!

It was a fantastic night, and well done to UCD LGBT for organising such a fun event.
