Hurricane Ike Update!!! We are Alive and Well

As of some time in the wee hours this Tuesday morning, the nibbler household started receiving electricity since the coming ashore of Hurricane Ike last Thursday evening.  This power finally allows us to do a quick update and let you know how we are doing!

To start with!  We are all safe and sound, including us, the kids, and the dogs!  We made it through a pretty scary thirteen plus hours of Hurricane Ike. 

When it was said and done, our house faired very well compared to those around us.  We have lost the majority of our fence, some sections of shingles on our roof, and part of our chimney.  The inside of the house did get some minor water damage through the holes in the roof and the fact the wind literally had all of the front side windows and door leaking on all four sides.  Compared to the devastation we see in homes and neighborhoods all around us, we feel extremely lucky and have no complaints.

Iniquity Houston - A Swing Club Review

We ventured out this past weekend to Iniquity here in Houston. High Maintenance hosted a “Sinners and Saints” party. We arrived at 10:30PM and there was not very many people there, which was a little disheartening, but it turned out to be a great night! It is still a fairly new club, so hopefully, attendance will pick up!! Here are our initial thoughts on this club:

Her Impression: 

The atmosphere of the club is very clean and comfortable. There are many chairs and tables, as well as comfy seating areas with full size leather sofas. It is very spacious. The dance floor isn’t huge, but it’ll do.

We toured the VIP area, which is closed off with a set of double doors. The VIP members can see you, but you can’t see them through one way mirrored walls!! Again, there are lots of seating areas with full size sofas. There is a small dance floor where we are assuming a stripper pole will be in the near future. We were also told that a shower with glass walls is going to be added in the VIP area. The downfall of the VIP area is the cost! One night is $100!!

The staff members of the club were very professional and the waitresses were even dressed in the theme! Set-ups for drinks are not free, and they only let you bring in liquor. They do monitor this by not allowing coolers. They provide you with a silver ice bucket at the door.

The fees to get in the door were reasonable. Thanks to High Maintenance, their guests enjoy a discount. For us, the location is okay. Definitely better than Read more

What are Your New Year’s Eve Plans?

It was a tough decision of what lifestyle event to attend this year for New Years Eve.  There are several huge parties in Houston, and with the addition of a couple of new clubs this year the choices are outrageous.   There were about three or four events we really would like to go to, but at the end of the day decided to go with High Maintenance Party’s New Years Eve Party. 

To be honest the number of RSVP’s on the lifestyle websites seem to be a little low for all of the New Years Eve Parties.  I think this is probably related to the fact there are so many events to chose from this year that the crowds at all of them may be watered down a bit.  That is probably not a bad thing.  We enjoy large turnouts because you get an opportunity to meet more people, but if the crowd is to big it can stifle the mood a little bit.

I have no doubts that the HMP party will be top notch with lots of new faces and old friends.  We are really excited about the After Party hotel takeover at a hotel close to the event.  This will be our first big “after party” since entering the lifestyle earlier this year, and we are looking forward to seeing what they are all about. 

The only real worries we have are what to wear.  It is dress to impress, but to be honest I am not that keen on wearing a tie all night.  I am trying to think of way to look classy, sexy, and sophisticated Read more
