Expect the Unexpected

Warning! This place is definitely not for everyone, but everyone should at least give it a shot.

There is more to “The Box” than just a burlesque club; this nightclub goes beyond anything you have ever experienced as they exclusively feature nightly shows that combine music, theater, burlesque, and erotica. There is a whole mystery about each and every single night. This is definitely where shit goes down. Literally. (Don’t worry, you will get it when you get there).

Let the OMG moments begin!
Let us just say you will have an experience you have not taken part of before, and you are sure to be in for a very bizarre, yet entertaining night. There’s really nowhere else like it. A true out of this world club experience for sure. So… Let the OMG moments begin!

You have probably heard some exceptional stories from a friend of a friend who has been here, and whatever it is that you have heard... Believe it! You are sure to see some of the most bizarre people in the most outlandish moments that New York has to offer.

Jaw-dropping costumes and a popcorn bag
Once you step your feet inside of this exclusive nightclub, you will feel like you’re all of a sudden in the Moulin Rouge cabaret in Paris, or shooting for the Lady Marmalade music video as you are overlooked by jeweled chandeliers, New Orleans inspired interior, and flirty women dancing around the nightclub wearing jaw-dropping costumes. Once you have a popcorn bag in your hands, the late-night show starts.

A brief spectacle, like a Fellini movie
The show is a brief spectacle, graced by circus stars, nude men and women, musicians, and flying acrobats. This is definitely a state-of-the-art stage. The shows are sensual, dark, and incredibly eccentric. It’s like a night out of a Fellini movie, and it gets crazier. You will be shocked, you will be overwhelmed, and you will party like a rock-star. Do not hesitate, just go and be a part of the unexpected experience! It most definitely will be a night you will never forget.

NY State of Mind

Looking back to when I first moved to New York, it is funny how different my life has become, and how different it is compared to all my friends back home in Norway. I know I should not compare my living situation to my friends’—because it really is two completely different worlds—but sometimes it is hard not to. I would say 98.9% of my closest friends are in a relationship and every time I go home on vacation there is always someone who just got engaged, who bought an apartment together, or recently revealed a baby bump. My friends are starting to climb up the business ladder and to get a better hold of their economy, and man, how proud I am of each and every one of them.

8.9% Sex and the City Girl

Then here I am. One person out of the 1.1% that are still single (out of all of my friends), in a city with 8 million people acting like no one really wants to grow up. Men at the age of 50 are dating gold diggers in their 20’s, and older women… Well, where the hell are they? It looks like all the Sex and The City women just vanished into space after the series aired back in the late 1990’s/early 2000’s.

“Maybe” there is something true about that New York dating culture you learned from SATC after all? ... Just saying.

Drink your sorrows away?

While my friends are starting to climb up the business ladder, I am still in prison. I mean… school. I am broke as fuck so I am working as a dog walker to afford one extra meal each week. Or make that a drink. Drink your sorrows away? Well, I would if I could afford more than one drink. Thank God for those $1 fish tacos on Mondays!

Who TF are you?

I am renting and sharing my apartment—located in Chinatown—with two other people. There are over fifty Chinese people in the same building as us that couldn't care less about who the fuck you are if you are not Asian. The heaters turns on automatically as the weather gets colder, but if you ask the heaters, it’s always hot outside, which means we go to bed wearing hoodies and sweatpants, a fleece blanket and an extra duvet.

And every now and then we can hear a troop (yes, a troop!) of mice running around inside the walls in our apartment.

It sounds like a battlefield. Sometimes it even sounds like they’re actually inside our apartment, but I guess that’s just one of them. Yeah, we got ourselves a new roommate: the lovely mouse living behind our stove, stealing all the food that we can barely pay for ourselves. And my friends in Norway? Well, they are staying warm and full in their newly renovated apartments.

A dollar please!

So, for those of you who think I am living a fabulous life in New York… Think again! But despite all of this, the city still makes me incredibly happy. It is something magical about this place and I am so grateful that I have the chance to be a part of it.

But seriously... If anyone would sponsor a single 20-year-old-something some money... Feel free!

Champagne-fueled holiday soirées
While it may be the most wonderful time of year, chances are it will be freezing outside. It is hard to stay chic during this frosty season but we just have to accept that the winter is here to stay… So you better make sure you escape the cold by investing in a thick—yet stylish—statement coat. A chic coat is a must as it is the first thing that catches peoples eyes. It is worth the investment as it will keep you warm while you are heading to your many champagne-fueled holiday soirées.

Now… There isn't a time of year when glitter is more acceptable than during the holidays, so if you don’t already have a sequined piece in your wardrobe... Don’t wait for Santa to bring it to you!

Leave the guys wondering…
Maybe some think of it as a cliché, but sequins never go out of style during this pleasant season and it most definitely never gets boring. Work the festive beads into your look and stand out in the crowd with a playful expression! Whether you choose to go with a sequined dress; a crystal-embellished blouse; a fierce, metallic bodysuit or a tasteful, glittery skirt, you will definitely leave the guys wondering who brought you—a fantastically exquisite girl—to this year’s glitter-filled fashion party.

Tons of elegance in a fashion-forward silhouette
Take in the magic of Christmas as you match perfectly together with the shimmering candlelight’s; the glittery snowflakes on top of the dining table; the dangling diamonds and the powerful color of red spotted in the most beautiful ornaments (covering the floor-to-ceiling Christmas tree that dominates the living room).

Holding a sparkling glass of the whitest “Blanc de Blancs” champagne—made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes—while leaking tons of elegance with your fashion-forward silhouette; you have never been more ready to welcome the New Year looking nothing but fabulous!
