Although Compound appears to have been closed for some time, the sleeping giant over on the west side awakens once in a while to flex its party muscles and remind Atlanta that the party isn't over yet. If you want to lose yourself for a night amidst glitz, glamor, and beats that reverberate through your core, this is the event for you. Compound boasts three separate dance floors, each with its own dj and Q100 hosting the evening. The variety of environments offers something for everyone in your group and keeps your night dynamic. I went to Compound's Big Wicked party on Halloween and intended to make it home before my coach turned back into a pumpkin, but I had such a blast on the dance floor that I stayed until the lights came on. A surprise reopening of Compound for a special event is like an unexpected gift on your doorstep. Carpe Diem, divas!

While you were busy scoffing at the hordes of holiday shoppers who waited in horrendous traffic and immense lines to get their seasonal shopping done, did you find any time to do your own?
If you haven't finished purchasing your gifts (or, ahem, if you haven't started purchasing your gifts), we have some news for you: the holidays are happening, like, NOW!
Needless to say, it's time to start thinking of gift ideas that can be delivered quickly. Wait, nevermind, the holiday is so close you don't have time to THINK anymore, which can only mean one thing: it's gift card time, people. Good thing the gals here at SD have a few fab ideas for great gift cards that are easy to obtain and work for just about everyone:
For: The Geek Who's Chic iTunes gift cards are crowd-pleasers since they can be redeemed for music, movies, and apps for iPhone and iPod Touch users.
For: The Gal with Return/Exchange Disorder
Amazon carries almost everything available on Earth, so it's no surprise that they have emailable gift cards that can be sent electronically to your recipient-talk about stress free gifting!
For: The Major Movie Buff Netflix gift memberships are awesome- who's going to pass up a free flick, right?
For: Ms. Practical Target gift cards make for a splendid gift, and not only because of their GO! International merchandise, but because, with the inception of Super Target, your giftee could redeem your gift for groceries, too.
For: The Indie Princess
Grab up a Modcloth gift card, so she can purchase handmade art, clothes, or jewelry she wants, all while supporting her local artisans.
And don't forget to write a nice Thank You note for your local Fed Ex carrier-their overnight shipping just saved your holiday!

Who hasn't spent her lunch hour (ahem... or two) dashing frantically from store to store in search of the perfect dress for a hot event... later that night? It seems that you can never find what you need when you need it. You either end up blowing your credit card limit on something Diva-worthy or settling for the same tired black cocktail frock you wear to every event.
FlareNY is about to change all that. They give Manhattanites free same-day delivery on gorgeous clothes at totally reasonable prices. Right now they have fabulous discounts on dresses to help you ring in the New Year, plus free shipping until 12/31.
Of course, important events are not always black tie affairs, so whether you are trying to find the perfect dress to accompany your guy to his office holiday party or are looking for a cute cozy sweater for a ski trip with your Divas, FlareNY has got you covered. And if you are REALLY short on time-or just stylistically challenged-click on Manhattan Ladies to have a stylist put together your new look.
Get what you need fast, look beautiful and still have enough money to spend on holiday presents? Sounds like the recipe for totally Diva shopping.
New Year's Eve is so much pressure. You have to look hot. Round up your friends. Find the hottest party. Get someone to smooch. And have the Best. Time. Ever.
This year, at least one part of the planning is easy: Set yourself up for a fabulous night by snagging tickets to the New Year's Eve Party at Shout. There will be two dance floors, theme rooms, a champagne toast, hats, noisemakers and games, and countdowns on big-screen TVs. With ten cash bars and extra bathroom facilities, Shout will help you minimize your time in line and maximize the fun.
Tickets are only $30 and the party is already 50% sold out. For an extra posh evening, reserve a VIP cabana by calling Paula at Shout (404-846-2000-Note: cabana reservations don't include tickets to the event).
P.S.-Divas always put safety first: Score a room at the W Hotel or Marriot Suites Midtown if your whole crew is planning to hit the champagne.
Shout!
Midtown at Colony Square, 1197 Peachtree Street

Pinot, Chardonnay, Bordeaux, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling… we can't blame you for being confused. But along with knowing where to score killer heels at 50% off and who does the best brow wax in town, being able to navigate a wine list is one tool every Diva should have in her arsenal. Isn't it time you stopped using the “order the second least expensive bottle” trick and learned how to pick wine for real?
You don't need to go it alone. The Atlanta Wine School has more than 100 opportunities each year to help you to find your inner vinophile. There are beginner wine courses like Intro to Wine and Food and Wine Pairings, and their offerings continue all the way to a Certified Specialist of Wine Program. They also have more specialized classes like the very Diva “Sexy Pinot Noir” and (our favorite) Wine and Chocolate.
And because AWS has embraced the season's spirit of giving, they're giving Divas 30% OFF AWS Giftcards (in $100, $200 and $400 denominations)-perfect for almost anyone on your list (parents, boyfriend, Divas), or maybe a well-deserved treat for you. Use promotion code DIVA for the discount. But hurry! The code expires 12/31/08, and orders must be placed no later than NOON on 12/22/08 to receive FREE USPS priority mailing. http://www.atlantawineschool.com/
