Every club in the city would like to think it attracts the best-looking party animals. If the clubs could get away with it, they'd turn away people who didn't make the cut. Attitude at the door is getting tiresome and you really have to be a pachyderm when the doorman at Hei Hei Club looks you up and down. The photo (above) is a little bit blurry, but the sign stipulates Hei Hei's dress code: 'No shorts, no slippers, no non-fashionable torn jeans.'

OK, no shorts, that's fine, and I agree that slippers are reserved for the bedroom and beach, but who the heck can be appointed the arbiter of 'fashionable torn jeans'? Partier Stephanie Wang Kai-yee (pictured) is on vacation from the US and though her jeans were obviously torn, she walked in without a problem. However, two girls before her were turned away for not being 'fashionable' enough.

Admittedly, they were plainer than the average party girl, which led me to ask Hei Hei's fashion policeman how he differentiates between non-fashionable and fashionable torn jeans. His answer: If you rip them yourself, they're not fashionable. So designer jeans are OK, but lacerations from wear and tear are not good enough for the club. If Rei Kawakubo showed up in a pair of her own jeans, would she be asked to go home and change?
