Gentleman, start your engines. Ladies, start yours too. This goes double for ladies and gentlemen who have embraced the smoking-hot pin-up and burlesque scene. From burlesque dance classes to professional pin-up photography, taking it all off–or taking most of it off–is the thing to do. And whether your interest in the scene is about participation, education or admiration, Hot Rods and Heels, the largest pin-up event in Texas, is the place to be. Daytime activities are family-friendly and include a vintage car show, shopping, a puppy kissing booth and burlesque workshops (The Art of the Shimmy, anyone?). Evening activities include a burlesque show with more than 20 of the best performers from all over the Lone Star State and The “Academy Awards of pin-up and burlesque” at 11 p.m. Performers include Angela Ryan, Ginger Valentine, The Jigglewatts and The Lollie Bombs. Vendors include Through The Looking Glass Photography, Miss Amy’s Stitch & Kitsch and Sky Girls. Hot Rods and Heels is from 4 p.m. to midnight Saturday at Excuses Extreme Cafe, 3025 Main St., in Deep Ellum. Admission is $15. Visit hotrodsandheels.com.
