The perils of girlhood are much catalogued. An inescapable component of the feminine experience is the pressure to fit within societal expectations, and the burden to conform to the stereotypical Dallas blonde archetype takes no prisoners. But for those who feel out of place in Uptown and prefer the dirtied booths of a dive bar <\/a>to hotel cocktail lounges, an emerging trend serves as the North Star.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWeird Girl Winter,\u201d as the TikTokkers are calling it, is the embrace of counter-cultural femininity, a rejection of the status quo. There are no rules or definitions for what makes a Weird Girl. It\u2019s encouraging a shameless and unabashed enjoyment, even if it makes you a little weird. It\u2019s all about self-expression. The trend isn\u2019t about disparaging the women who do like the trendiest of items \u2013 there\u2019s no shame in enjoying pop music and Sunday brunch mimosas \u2013 but instead encourages all women to find the things that bring them joy, free of judgment. Come one, come all.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just in case you need a little help embracing the weird, or want to diversify your experience of Dallas and discover a little peculiarity, here is our definitive guide to being weird in the best way.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Where To Dance: <\/p>\n

LadyLove Lounge\u00a0<\/strong>
310 W. Seventh St.
LadyLove is no hole-in-the-wall. The staple bar is one of the most popular spots in Dallas, with lines that wrap around the block and visits from A-listers<\/a>. If you\u2019re unfamiliar, every night at the Bishop Arts lounge has a theme with a live DJ. Every Monday is a goth and new wave-themed event, and Dallasites are encouraged to wear their weirdest wardrobe. The night brings out the eccentric for a night of riotous and carefree fun.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Church<\/strong>
4322 Elm St.
The Church is a historic goth-industrial club<\/a> staged out of It\u2019ll Do Club on Sundays. \u201cEnter without prejudice,\u201d is their mantra, and they stand by it. Corpse paint, the full-face white and black makeup worn by traditional goths, is a common sight. The club also hosts fetish nights, welcomes dominatrices and is the meeting ground of the city\u2019s freaks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Where To Listen To Music: <\/p>\n

Rubber Gloves\u00a0Rehearsal Studio<\/strong>
411 E Sycamore St., Denton
Tired of paying for overpriced tickets just to be far from your favorite artists at a traditional venue? Head down I-35 to the region\u2019s premier venue for up-and-comers and niche genres that don\u2019t get booked at larger venues. Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios serves as the perfect stage for small bands seeking their audience. There are usually several shows each night featuring undiscovered artists covering genres such as screamo, synthwave, heavy metal, techno and everything in between. This is the spot that proudly embraces the bizarre, and patrons can expect funky, experimental shows and\u00a0headline-catching antics. As a bonus, tickets are almost never more than $15.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Double Wide\u00a0<\/strong>
3510 Commerce St.
Don\u2019t have the time to drive to Denton, but still looking for a spot to hear music they\u2019re not playing anywhere else? Slide into Double Wide for one of their weekend shows. Dozens of local bands and acts take the stage to delight the freaks and geeks of Dallas. The trailer park-inspired bar is a frequent spot for the eclectic. Double Wide also hosts regular goth nights, and dressing up is encouraged.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Where To Go For A Drink: <\/p>\n

Single Wide\u00a0<\/strong>
2110 Greenville Ave.
The little sister to the aforementioned Double Wide, Single Wide, located on Greenville Avenue, has no main stage. But it does have the same off-kilter drinks that Double Wide is known for, like the YooHoo Yeehaw, a chocolate milk and vodka frozen delight. Single Wide attracts just as abnormal patrons as Double Wide, at least in comparison to Lower Greenville\u2019s usual crowd.<\/p>\n

Charlie\u2019s Star Lounge\u00a0<\/strong>
4319 Main St.
This spot is another classic for those looking for the perfect place to let loose without the disapproving stares of a finance bro. Don\u2019t let too loose, though, the bar\u2019s already had problems with sink-breaking, sex-having parishioners before. Either way, Charlie\u2019s is a safe space to be a little weird and have a little extra fun.\u00a0This one also has a great karaoke night<\/a>, and if anywhere is going to queue up your obscure Japanese industrial deep cut, it\u2019s Charlie\u2019<\/p>\n

Where To Shop: <\/p>\n

Curiosities Antiques\u00a0<\/strong>
8920 Garland Road
At this quaint East Dallas shop, you can find almost anything. Taxidermied rattlesnake? They\u2019ve got it. Haunting porcelain dolls from the 1900s? Check yes. They\u2019ve got crystals, they\u2019ve got knick-knacks, they\u2019ve got anything you want so long as it\u2019s atypical. If there\u2019s something on your Weird Girl Wishlist you can\u2019t find anywhere else, you can almost certainly find it here.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Dolly Python\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>
1914 N Haskell Ave.
Dolly Python is another classic staple for Dallasites who don\u2019t want to blend in with everyone else. The vintage store, with endless racks of vintage goods, is as close as you can come to affordable one-of-a-kind pieces. If a key element of your weirdness is an enviable personal style, look no further.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The perils of girlhood are much catalogued.
