Finding Your BFF 4-Eva in DC


Friday, January 11, 2008

Finding%20Your%20BFF%204-Ever%20in%20DC.jpgAwkward. You're in the middle of downward dog during Saturday morning yoga, and you notice a girl in the cutest spandex top you've ever seen. In fact, she looks like a lot of fun, like someone you'd want to grab coffee with after class. And you can tell from her warrior pose that she's probably really good at giving guy advice. What to do? Ask her where she got her top and pray she wants your number? Or stalk her in class every Saturday morning. Creepy? Maybe. Worth it? Yes, if it means she turns out to be the best BFF ever. Oh, the heartache of wooing a new friend, especially of the same sex. Here are a few estrogen-heavy places where you're bound to come away with a new lady posse just by showing up. If we've missed a fem-zone or two, don't be afraid to call 'em out in the comments or tips.

I highly recommend the Sunday afternoon ballet class at the Dupont studio. Bond with other chubby 20-somethings over rigorous plies and grande jetes, all while lamenting the loss of your teenage bodies. [link]

I don't know one guy -- gay or straight -- who would step foot inside one of these pottery painting places. I don't think I would step foot inside All Fired Up, for that matter. But that doesn't mean I don't envy those all those chummy sorority sisters who spend their wholesome Saturday afternoons painting kittens on clay pots. (photo) [link]
