Hen Night

While taking the walking tour of London something in particular caught my eye. There was a group of 20 women of varying ages walking down the street together in disheveled and skanky school girl outfits. I could not believe that those ladies actually attended any classes in those cloths nor would any institution tight laced enough to force their students to wear uniforms let that fly. When I asked our tour guide about it she informed me that it was probably a group of women going out for their “hen night.” The british equivilant of the bachelorette party, apparently hen nights usually include a larger group of women (20 was actually a bit low) all dressing up in some form of slutty uniform commonly nurses or schoolgirls. When our tour guide told me this she was surprised that the American bachelorette party did not usually include skanky costumes. I had to tell her “no, in America that is called Halloween.”
