If there’s one thing I love, it’s a man who goes by his initials. If there’s another thing I love it’s anyone who will re-create Anthropologie furniture for a fraction of the price. I found both in a local woodworker named Khaki Caekaert. But you can all him K.C. My…
These days we speed date, we virtual date, we meet, we greet and we usually sanitize after. We find dips, drips and trolls, but we keep at it. There has to be just one decent person out there, right? Wrong. No, we’re kidding. Of course there is! And no doubt…
I never even watched Ren & Stimpy, but everytime I read a nonsensical word that rhymes with “log” I get that stupid song stuck in my head, so let’s just roll with it. Ready? It’s Trogg! It’s Trogg! It’s lively and song-y and good. It’s Trogg! It’s Trogg! It’s what…
If you’re looking for a place to pinch butts under the cloak of darkness, go to Plush. But if you’re looking for a place to practically steal away with radical artwork that benefits a great cause, then go to Art Conspiracy. Celebrating its seventh year of being awesome, Art Con…
Belly dancing is a beautiful and challenging art form, but let’s face it — the name just ain’t right. All belly dance, from traditional family-friendly folk to nightclub incarnations, uses almost every part of the body. It’s demanding to say the least, and it’s coming to the Grapevine Convention Center…
Tuesday I did Sunrise Yoga. It started at 6:15 a.m. which means I got out of bed at 5 a.m., which means I’m sleep-typing right now. It also means I might wander off and pee in your fridge so don’t forget to lock your doors. Sunrise Yoga was pretty awesome,…
Jay Pharoah is coming to The Improv in Arlington. I know what you’re thinking: I know the name, but I can’t place him. No doubt your thoughts then drifted to King Tutankhamun, the little 10 year-old Egyptian mummy prince. First of all, JINX, that’s exactly what I thought!! And second…
My friend Kelly and I have been taking Boot Camp with Will from Power 212 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7 a.m. for the past three weeks. And we’ve lived to tell about it. First of all, it’s a small miracle I can even type after Boot Camp. Ninety…
Happy Birthday America. We got you a Star-Spangled Spectacular featuring the least burly burlesque ever–The Jigglewatts with special guests Honey Cocoa Bordeauxx & Levi des Peu Chapeaux. Seriously, I heard these girls made Uncle Sam’s striped pants tights. I also heard if you show up topless with pasties on your…
Josh Howard is back in town, but he’s not, like, playing us or anything, so welcome back, Josh Howard. My, my, my, your head looks funny without a blue sweatband and yes, we will stand on a stack of 18 chairs and say that to your face. Speaking of, did…
Heather McDonald has been lied to. By Chelsea Handler. Good ones, too. She wrote about them in May hardback release The Lies That Chelsea Told Me. She’s coming to town (Verizon Theatre, actually) this Saturday to relive those horrific nightmares…and it’s hysterical. Of course, there’s a lot more to her…
Go see that ol’ bitchbag Chelsea Handler on Saturday. Tickets are expensive ($59.50 and $69.50), but they should be. Someone’s gotta pay for Brad Wollack’s perms. Josh, His Giant Forehead and Heather McDonald will be there, too. The whole gang is coming to town to celebrate Lies That Chelsea Told…
It’s not often you get to be Dan Cortese for the day, but I did a couple Saturdays ago. I spent my morning at National Rowing Day, my afternoon at NY-TX ZipLine Adventures and my evening stuffing tube socks in my bike shorts and telling people to “step off.” I’ve…
Last Saturday morning at 10 a.m. I headed off to cover National Rowing Day. It truly is a national holiday, you know, like all over the United States, or at least in cities and towns with bodies of water fit for rowing boats. I expected to find a bunch of…
Turns out Half and Half isn’t about cyborgs at all. It’s about marriage, but before you fall asleep at least read the description. Half and Half is a comedy that takes a look at two couples. The first couple is set in the 1970s with the husband in the role…
Richard Lewis is bringing his “Misery Loves Company Stand-Up Tour” to the Addison Improv, 4980 Belt Line Road. I’ll tell you one thing for sure, if you have something whiny to say, go sit by him. I don’t want to hear your shit, but he probably will. And he’ll likely…
Last night I laced up my bustier, put on my sequin thong and headed off to Pole Dance Class. Turns out no one really dresses that way. (No body glitter or Champagne room either. Gasp.) As a matter of fact, it was shockingly tame and I mean that in the…
I don’t know how to skateboard at all, but I’m really good at saying things like “sick,” “killer” and “wicked air, brah.” See? It’s amazing how realistic that was, right? Guess what? Even I am invited to the Texas Skateboarding Event of the Skate-century. (Don’t call it that or you’ll…
I simply must stop starting stories with, “So the other night I met Design Star’s Vern Yip,” but now is not the time. So the other night I met HGTV Design Star’s Vern Yip. He was in town offering design tips and exchanging pleasantries with local yocals at I.O. Metro…
If you were alive in the ’80s, you know all about 9 to 5. And Jams, mesh shirts and White Rain, too, but that’s a whole other story. This particular story is about three working gals, their jerk alert boss and a file folder’s worth of revenge. It was like…
Stop whatever you’re doing and go take a Zumba class now. I don’t care if you’re recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery, on an airplane or at the office. Oh, poor you. You have to “work” and “earn money” so you can “eat” and “not perish.” LIES. You need nothing more…
Turns out fencing isn’t really my cup of tea, but when you find an online deal for a private lesson for only $15, you kind of have to buy it. Unless you’re Scrooge McDuck, but then you have to wear those absurd cartoon spats and, well, you know those don’t…
