the not so Bridgerton Ball in Detroit

  There's an organization in Seattle that puts on a lot of historical-themed events, and they had a "Bridgerton Ball" scheduled this month. Since the Detroit event happened, they changed the name of the event to "Regency Ball." They're an established event organization so I fully expect the event will be good, I just think it's an interesting cause-and-effect

  I yearn for the day Swell creates an "I organised a themed event so you can see how difficult it ACTUALLY is" series.

  As a Glaswegian, the idea that anything disappointing can be classified as a Glasgow Experience is something I can get behind.

  As a Brit I am lolling so hard at you calling the cursed Willy Wonka Experience just ‘the Glasgow experience’ 😭🤣

  &quot;the lone violin player has spoken out, the pole dancer has spoken out--&quot; that&apos;s how you know you&apos;re in for a wild ride

  When I saw your video title I had to laugh because I actually attended the event unfortunately! My best friend and I had the cheapest general admission tickets so we didn’t attend the dinner and show portion but when we got there it was packed. There was security holding doors open but there was so much confusion and congestion in the entry hall, with no employees directing anyone or checking tickets. All music on the second and third floor was the Bridgerton soundtrack played on awful-quality speakers and everything else was pretty much how you described! <br><br>There were supposed to be dance lessons but I never saw that happening. The bar was only serving mocktails, and there were 3 random booths on the side selling perfume, candles, and permanent jewelry- not only was the sound too loud and overstimulating but the various fragrance smells were also overwhelming. We left after about 45 minutes after they changed the music in the ballroom to modern music. Once we got outside there was actually a big group of ball attendees across the street at an indoor/outdoor bar having a better time imo, but it was cool out and misty so we just headed home. I’ve disputed the charge but I spent 3 days sewing my gown and so many people put so much effort into their looks- we met a girl who said it was her birthday and she had been so excited but was crushed.

  The violin player reminds me of the episode of the office where Michael throws a Christmas party and hires a bassist for the day because ‘why hire a string quartet for 4 hours when you can get one guy for the whole day’

  As a native Detroiter we&apos;re always talking about how much better our city has gotten and how it&apos;s on the up &amp; up... Then things like this happen and it&apos;s back to square one 💀💀

  I&apos;m a romance scholar and let me tell you, the amount of people who use &quot;Bridgerton&quot; when they mean &quot;Regency romance&quot; drives me up the wall! Also Regency balls are totally a thing and seem super fun so if that&apos;s something you&apos;re interested in, you can probably find one reasonably close to you.
