Lend a Hoity-Toity Helping Hand

The 6th Annual Fresh Faces of Fashion is here. It’s not a model-y model show. It’s a do-gooder-y show that uses real live do-gooders to show off the latest fashions. And with Stanley Korshak as a sponsor, we’re not talking JNCOs here, people. It all benefits the North Texas Suicide…

U-N-I-T-Y Through F-I-L-M

If you don’t have spotty patches of lower back hair, you probably already know it’s Women’s History Month. And while it’s not a dance-in-the-streets type event, it’s still a time to come together as women … and bitch about our periods. Just kidding. It’s a time to look back at…

Hey, It’s New To You

You know how vintage stuff is awesome, but grave robbing isn’t? And it’s also illegal and totally creepy? Well, hang up your pickaxe and black unitard, The Dallas Vintage Clothing and Jewelry Show is coming to the Grapevine Convention Center. It’s the first of its kind in Texas and will…

Laff N Yo Face is Comedyz in Yo Ears

You can do a lot of things to your face, not the least of which is mime make-up, but maybe the best thing you can do for it is get it on down to Laff N Yo Face at The Majestic Theater. Laff N Yo Face is a comedy showcase…

It Takes Two to Spoof and Goof

If you’ve ever seen Who’s Line is it Anyway then you’re probably also a bit of a nerd. (Just kidding.) But if you have seen Who’s Line then you really will recognize these two jokers – Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood. They were series regulars and then one day someone…

I’m Seeing Stars

Hey, hey, hey ladies. Take off the flannel PJs and “Life’s Short. Eat more Twinkies.” T-shirt and head out to Hockey & Heels, a night for ladies only. And don’t go all, “Hockey is so violent” on me, ladies. You and I both know a co-worker, “friend” or salesgal that…

Fun With Prejudice

The Black-Jew Dialogues is a hysterical look at racial prejudice throughout the ages. Yes, hysterical. Yes, racial prejudice. But before you send flaming hateballs my way, let’s just see what this thing is all about, shall we? Ron Jones and Larry Jay Tish (that’s not the funny part) “spent three…

It’s Tassle Time!

Seventy-five acts will be performing, including some of the biggest names in the burlesque like Michelle L’amour, Ginger Valentine, Coco Lectric and more. And even if you don’t know them by name, rest assured they have…

A Little Skin Goes a Long Way

Saturday marks the triumphant return of Suits and Boots at Top Golf in Allen and Dallas. “Oh cute, like, three-piece suits and cowboys boots?” Nope. Think a little more Pam Anderson with a little less hep C. That’s right, swimsuits and snowboots. Not only will you get to look like…

Double Your Funny, Guaranteed

Dave Barry and Alan Zweibel are both coming to the Dallas Museum of Art. Together. And they’re splitting a cab. Or maybe they aren’t. Who can know for sure? The point is they’re coming and they’re funny and couldn’t we all use a laugh? And not just at the expense…

New Year, New Psychic Prowess

A new year is often seen as a chance for reinvention. Maybe this will be the year you move out of the friend-zone with your “pal” across the hall. Maybe this will be the year that you don’t overdraft while buying a two dollar Miller High Life. Maybe this will…

Ring in the New Year with Murder

Want to do something totally different this New Year’s Eve? For starters, don’t drink too much, cry and then throw up on your own shoes. Mix it up this year. Puke on someone else’s shoes. Or skip the heaves altogether and head to Keith & Margo’s 21st Annual Murder Mystery…

Toys and a Tease

As if boobs don’t already do enough good, now they’re heading up a toy drive. It’s Iggy’s 2nd Annual Christmas Extravaganza: A Toy Drive Tease-A-Thon. A Burlesque Show. Your toy donations determine what comes off, so let’s be generous, ’K? And no, an actual dump truck of toys isn’t overkill…

Aww, You Shouldn’t Have

This holiday season the Kittrell Riffkind Art Glass Studio and Gallery is looking to get you out of a jim-jam. You know that one person that pops up every year with a gift for you? And all that you have for them is a handful of air and a blank…

Laugh Your Way Right Out of Mall Hell

Don “DC” Curry prides himself on telling the truth. He’ll mock your nakedness, give a big eff you to exercise and wonder why you’re all acting so fake. Plus he wears suits with shoulder pads, so he’s kind of like a comedian with a built-in bonus. It’s just one of…

Skating With Class

Long before Tonya Harding’s redneck ass hit the ice, there was a classy little lady named Dorothy Hamill. She was America’s sweetheart, and her hair was our nation’s go-to ’do. Seriously, that thing was bigger than fauxhawks. Well, if you’re curious what Dorothy looks like now or whether she’s still…

Hopefully, You Won’t Need a Ring of Fire

All hail this hot-as-shit state called Texas. The upside of one million 100-plus-degree days is the sweet jeggings weather we get clear through fall. (Just as soon as I say that, we’ll have an ice storm with sleet and a chance of frozen solid.) But let’s go back to that…

Behind the Canvas

I’ve seen Billy Zinser’s work, and it’s totally fabbers. And yes, that’s totally a word. His art is abstract and overly textured like chunky streams of paint spilling forth on a canvas. I know what you’re thinking, and no, I didn’t go to art school, but that doesn’t stop me…

No Kidding, Halloween Nights are Perfect for … uh … Kids

Here’s the thing about kids: You can scar them. So this year take off the gory mask, put down the R.L. Stine novel and head to the Dallas Zoo (650 S. R.L. Thornton Freeway) for Halloween Nights. Each night is filled with animal attractions, trick-or-treating and a backward ride on…

Scary for Charity

If you want to get truly terrified this Halloween, hop on Interstate 30 and head west. Worse than the traffic on Woodall Rodgers, your destination, Hangman’s House of Horrors, is a three-acre scream-fest featuring one overly ghouled house and three side attractions — McDagenville, The Labyrinth and 3-D Wonderland. All…
