Scottish Nightclub Has Creepy Two-Way Mirrors in Women’s Washroom
Imagine this: It’s your biweekly girls’ night out and you’re partying with your closest friends at the hottest nightclub. It’s another awesome time with your BFFs, complete with cocktails, great music and ridiculous dance moves.
You may have to go to extremes to avoid potential creepers who try to invade your dance circle, but it’s doable. Getting approached by randoms is annoying, but whatevz.
Now try to imagine the scenario takes a turn so sleazy it’d make Courtney Stodden gasp: there are two-way mirrors in the ladies’ washroom where dudes can voyeuristically watch you reapply your lipstick or pick your nose. (Sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do.)
A nightclub in Scotland called The Shimmy Club has just that. According to one rightfully P.O.’d female patron, she was totally unaware she was being watched while at the club.
“I find it absolutely outrageous that a club can get away with this. It is a complete invasion of privacy of the unsuspecting girls,” says the anonymous woman.
“Nowhere is it made clear that this is the case so when visiting the bathroom for the first time, there are women bending over the sink, pouting into the mirror to redo their lipstick, adjusting themselves whilst unknowingly being watched by people on the other side,” she adds.
The club has two private booth areas which allow paying clubgoers to watch women through the two-way mirror like some disgusting Law & Order episode – minus the great acting, but with an extra added layer of heinous-things-that-make-you-shake-your-head-at-humanity. The booths cost $1,200 to book and I’m pretty sure you have to sign your soul away upon payment.
The Shimmy Club is totally unconcerned about the outrage and called the two-way mirrors a “talking point for people visiting.” They claim there’s a sign which clearly explains the non-consensual peep show, er, two-way mirrors.

They’ve also left some flippant comments on their Facebook page, according to Huffington Post. One comment from the club read, “God help us when they find out that we have buried vibrators into sections of the dancefloor…”
Vibrators in the dancefloor is fine even if it’s a bit gimmicky, but putting up two-way mirrors in a place where women should have all the privacy in the world is totally messed. Get a clue, Shimmy.
