Gloria

Go ahead and sin all you want: The only immediately obvious vestige left of this super-fashionable club's previous incarnation as a church is the gray exterior, thank god, because He likely wouldn't smile so much upon the raunchiness otherwise. Sao Paulo fashion designers Fabia Bercsek and Rita Wainer were called in to style up the place, which attracts a massive gay scene that loves electro, especially when Bercsek's and Wainer's internationally revered colleague Alexandre Herchcovitch mans the wheels of steel in front of a full wall of mirrors that gets steamed up after 1 a.m. Couples making out annoyingly crowd the outdoor balcony with its own bar, which, if you can get by them, gives a Heaven's view of the line snaking down the block. Second floor is reserved for VIPs but is no respite from the heat. Arrive early but know the night's theme. Dress, baby, to impress.
