“OMG, You Guyyyyssss! It’s My Bougie Sweet 16 32 Wet T-Shirt Contest! YOLO!”

Indeed, Diner En Blanc did happen in Logan Circle last night, to the tune of 1,300 people we are now having serious second thoughts about being friends with. What’s our beef? We’re still thinking about that. We just know that there is something bougie and Cashman about this that just rubs us entirely the wrong way. It’s not that we don’t like nice things — far from it. I guess it’s just that we don’t like nice things where we have to worry about a bunch of Philly Style readers jumping into the fountain like they’re Hallahan girls on the last day of school. Oh, Philly.

    This event was actually very cool. I was wary about all the rules (wear white, secret location, the cost) but in the end SO glad I went. The city looked beautiful, really stunning, and there was a great feel in the air. It was really very fun!

    Wait a minute…A bunch of white people paid lots of money to go drink at Logans Square? Somewhere there is a group of homeless people laughing at all of you.

    According to youtube there were lots of Coldplay singalongs and Williams-Sonoma gift card prizes. This kind of makes King Of Prussia look like the Gallery mall.

    So, white people in the fountain = whimsical. Brown people in the fountain = illegal. I think I got it.

    Yeah everybody should just lighten the fuck up. I am all about the snark and calling bullshit on bougie, but this was actually a beautiful, dare I say, magical, evening. There were all kinds of people there- young, old, black, white, hipster, douche, gay, straight, Philly Style readers and . The crazy thing was that when everyone is dressed all in white it kind of levels the playing field. Yeah, there were still big fake titties and ridiculously high heels, but they peacefully co-existed with schlumpy middle aged folk in flats. I was expecting the worst, but was pleasantly surprised by the fun and beauty of it all. Check it out for yourself next year, and then pass judgement.

    I already have a group of friends I run around and jump into fountains and other stuff with and the cost is zero… But we wear green dresses, men included.
