Ugly Christmas sweaters

More evidence of nightlife progress: Bars are hosting ugly Christmas sweater parties.

So far, this week's lineup gives you two opportunities to showcase your tassels and bedazzled sleeves.

*Wednesday, Flip Flops hosts a Tacky Christmas Sweater Contest with a $100 prize. Action starts at 9 p.m. The bar's at 1111 Broadway.

*Saturday, The Oasis has an ugly sweater contest. The bar's at 1107 Broadway.

I have mad love for ugly Christmas sweaters. They're costumes you can wear to work without being busted by HR.

I recommend UglyChristmasSweaterParty.com, where you can buy sweaters and check out photos.

Proud of your reindeer turtleneck? Send your tacky pics to ssorich@ledger-enquirer.com and I'll post them on this blog.
