It's not really dirty dancing so much as damp, glittery, get-up-in-your-face vamping. Photographer Alistair Allan haunts the nightclubs and dimly lit gigs of hot swinging London to capture these in-the-moment portraits of the boys, girls, and royalty who know how to party right. Once the lights go down, the accessories come out. The heavily sparkled lids and extravagant moustaches sweep in. And the moodiness oozes. Smudge-lipped clown-boys sprinkle themselves in pixie dust, Warhol's Factory ghosts strike a pitch-perfect glower, and everyone preens for the camera. Even Barbie joins in. Don't tell Mattel, but so do a lot of grown-up drama-Barbies. The site can take awhile to load; this assembly of '80s-inspired poses requires a little extra patience. But once everything's ready to go, you can strut right through, enjoying, or mocking, for as long as you like.
