"   Photo: Charlotte Peter  PARIS\u2014Since its opening in 1962, Chez Castel has thrived on a reputation of chic debauchery. It&amp;#039;s as famous for its plush, retro interiors, as it is infamous for its, well, sleazy population of wealthy men and very young lady friends. But the notorious French club closed in June 2010 to be reopened, new and improved, a few weeks ago, and the new PR team has a thing or two in mind. Ever since its re-launch, it&amp;#039;s dedicated to bring in a new clientele, namely young women, but only for good fun. Their new night goes as such: every invitation requires you (strictly female) to come with you best friend (as female as yourself). No boys allowed. There, twice a month, from nine to twelve, each participant&amp;#039;s offered the chance to participate in a variety of `women-only&amp;#039; activities: yoga, massages, makeup tricks, hair cuts, you name it \u2014 followed by all you can drink cocktails and a four-course meal.   Photo: Charlotte Peter  These grown-up `games&amp;#039; change completely from one week to the next depending on the themes and the sponsors, including brands like Cacharel, Li\u00E9rac, and more. &amp;quot;Jacques Dutronc once sang &amp;quot;I like the girls at Chez Castel&amp;quot;. We wish to keep up the tradition and treat girls as well as possible, focusing on contemporary themes,&amp;quot; said Castel&amp;#039;s, Morgane Houdin. January 6th will be dedicated to fortune telling and January 19th, to burlesque dancing. A rather limited view of femininity? &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t think I was such a girly girl, plus some of these activities definitely feel like a guilty pleasure,&amp;quot; said Samantha Okora, a regular attendee of the nights, &amp;quot;but twice a month, why not?&amp;quot; She said. She went on to explain that &amp;quot;it is surreal, and amazingly fun to find yourself only with girls \u2014 which doesn&amp;#039;t mean you don&amp;#039;t dress up, on the contrary!&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
