There you are, just hanging on the beach, trying to enjoy those last days of a swinging summer with your best girlfriends and all the hot guys, just minding your own business, when what happens? Those damn aliens decide to invade and spoil all your fun! Except, of course, what could be more fun than fighting off an alien invasion with the DFW Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence at their Wet & Wild End of Summer Hullabaloo Beach Blanket Bingo Splash Down Party Alien Invasion. So don your most fabulous ’50s finery and head over to The Hidden Door to send summer out with a bang (so to speak).
