"Miss Congeniality" was on TV today. From a classic “nottie turns hottie" makeover scene to chic undercover sleuthing, this Sandra Bullock pageant movie has all the makings for a great chick flick.
Although the “perfect date" question Stan asks Cheryl always makes me laugh, it was the paint bar scene that really caught my attention.

Although we've all been to the blacklight highlighter/paint parties before, this is nothing like drunken college students throwing un-washable craft store paint on you directly from the bottles in a dark, trash-bag lined basement.
Complete with UV paint-filled splatter drums, test tube shots, and plenty of pizza, the girls dance and drum the night away. Although getting drenched in paint would not be my first go-to idea, this looks like everyone's dream. With walls like the bathroom floors at Mellow Mushroom, UV paint drumming seems like a fun alternative for any weekend.
I began my search to see if it was an actual thing. Although the bar itself was said to have been set up and staged inside Sunset Station in San Antonio, paint raves and special event paint parties are real.
A nightclub in the UK, Crash Manor, held a UV paint and dance party a while ago. Complete with face and body paint, a wide range of music and DJs, and a dance competition, this event seemed like a blast. You can attend your own paint rave by buying tickets to the GLO Paint Party Tour or Life in Color.
So turn in those red solo cups for test tubes and put on your rave clothes!
