Not to be served, but to get serrrrrrved!!!
O, Wellesley College! My noble Alma Mater, what's sprawling greens and rolling hills doth define my very consciousness, that whosoever shall visitith may think ye righteous in your glory! Er whatever.
I did attend Wellesley, and like any other liberal arts college in the new millenium and decades before, we had some sexy-themed parties. The homo-themed one bears the brazen PC-be-damned name of "Dyke Ball." It's a heavenly tradition that gives sweaty, scantily-clad female 18-to-20-somethings permission to experiment with putting their tongues on each other's nipples. And even the "straight" girls enjoyed that. It's like Vegas: What happens at Dyke Ball, stays at Dyke Ball. Also, you get to see a lot of tits. The similarities are endless.
In fact, it's such a popular party (Harvard lesbians LOVE Wellesley parties, as one might assume) that it has moved to the largest venue on campus: the Field House. This space is so much larger than the old Dyke Ball grounds (Alumnae Hall, spelled with an ae because ain't no boy alums, though there are some boi alums...) that they've actually started advertising. This year, they sent out an email inviting all alums to the party, which I shall quote below:
Dress code: Dyke Ball is a creative black tie event. This means that your attire must be in the spirit of Dyke Ball. You may NOT attend Dyke Ball in jeans, khakis, t-shirts, polo shirts, sweatshirts, sweat pants, or baseball caps. If you arrive at the event in any of the offending articles of clothing, you will not be permitted to enter.
In other words, you may NOT attend Dyke Ball dressed like a dyke.
Apparently, the irony of the stated dress code is lost on the young president of the queer organization on campus. Still, I understand the dilemma: millions of sketchy, gawking men live for the opportunity to see hot young girls making out live in person for the low low price of $20 at the door. Requiring such would-be gawkers to don drag usually cuts down their numbers quite drastically. However, the way the dress code is stated precludes said hot young girls from experimenting with the young lesbian uniform : jeans, t-shirt, backwards baseball cap, wallet chain...and that just ain't right.

You'd have to be a complete idiot to pay $20 to see Wellesley students make out.

I remember back when the dyke ball was, 10 bucks.... but that was back when I crashed the Harvard Girlspot... and I think the dress code only applied to Men...if you didn't have a couple of dykes with wallet chains and backwards baseball caps... who'd run security?
Anyway, Good luck on your new adventures into the world of fame and fortune and part time work!
