video subtitle
Hello all,
I need help to translate a slang. Of course, I know what it means. It happened that I even used it in Canada but I'm looking for a cool translation that can fit perfectly for a make-up tutorial video which used slang terms to talk about new trends.
If anyone can help me and have something that could be used easily in France to convey this idea, I would be grateful.
I'm looking for something else that "amusons-nous".
Context: end of a video tutorial where a make-up artist have made a make-up which is Downtown trend. The girl is now so pretty that she's going to go with other "hit the town".
Many thanks for your help

faire la fête
Juste une suggestion. Pour garder le coté argot, on pourrait utiliser "s'éclater" peut-être...

Une idée: si tu connais la ville, disons Paris pour l'exemple, tu pourrais opter pour qqch du genre "Paris, me/nous voilà!" ou "Paris, à nous deux!"....

| j'aime beaucoup votre proposition, malheureusement la vidéo est destinée à une publication mondiale. Donc je ne peux malheureusement pas utiliser un nom en particulier. |

I'd try and get away from the idea of 'living it up', 'getting drunk', 'going on a bender', etc. which I'm sure don't really quite convey the image required here.
