Tickets are still available for two events on Saturday, February 4 that target youthful supporters of the arts. The Young Professionals of the Dallas Opera are having beers and rapping about Wagner and the Dallas Contemporary has international DJ/Artist/Cool Dude Shepard Fairey spinning a giant bash over in the design…

Hi, I’m a lonely weave. Maybe you saw me this weekend, laying all by myself on the sidewalk in front of 7-11. I thought the corner of S. Field and Commerce would be a nice place to meet that special someone, but alas, I’m still single with no head-shaped prospects…

Peek behind the white partition at Kirk Hopper Gallery and you see it: a shimmering waterfall of music wires, hundreds of them, cascading out along a horizontal line. Their polar tips crash into polished white porcelain rose stems that hang vertically, like pendulums filled with untapped kinetic force. You need…

Immerse yourself in fashion inspiration this weekend when style’s ultimate curator Jean Paul Gaultier appears on CBS Sunday Morning. The interview was filmed from his current exhibition, which ends on February 12, at the Dallas Museum of Art. Gaultier’s creative influence in the field cannot be matched, and that’s likely…

Doth thou seek amusement cast off from thy daily toil? Are darkness and light one and the same betwixt the hours of 9 to 5? Need ye an outlet, a respite of the soul, tethered along thy brethren of stage and illusion? Take heart, good lord. Hope awaits ye, and…

LEGOs can be built, smashed and reconfigured in an unlimited amount of ways. Their creative potential is infinite, much like a child’s imagination. When the two pair up on Saturday for the FIRST LEGO League robotics competition just imagine what they’ll achieve. The students were given a goal: identify problems…

Getting cast in Elvis Lives!, the touring homage to the Big E, is not easy (think Highlander for stage impersonators). The worldwide auditions lured in more than 500,000 would-be hip-swivellers in the last five years alone. Once the tribute artists are assessed and whittled down, those remaining Kings of Kings…

How badly do you want to live in these freaking amazing houses? High ceilings, fine lines, and light — oh, sweet beautiful light — pouring in through abundant oversized windows. You and your houseplants would live perpetually invigorated, both the philodendron and your joy quadrant would quadruple in size. Lovely…

​Kicking off Fashion Week Dallas 2012 is best done with an oversized jeweled anklet, a note proven last night as collections by SOCIAL List and Carolina Herrera shared the runway at the Adolphus Hotel, outfitted with jewelry by local companies Body Elements and BootGlams. Dallas designer SOCIAL List assembled a…

It’s a severely underrepresented holiday, this most darling day of haunting. Typically used as a punchline to explain the tragic behavior of those around us (“Did that creep at the bar really suggest a three-way? Well, what do you expect? It is Friday the 13th.”) it once held meaning. There…

Brace yourselves and keep your daughters away from the voicemail because everyone’s favorite Hollywood charismatic, Alec Baldwin, is coming to Dallas on March 2. From his role as Joshua Rush on Knot’s Landing to Liz Lemmon’s platonic comedic foil in 30 Rock, Baldwin has remained a powerhouse for more than…

Michelle Rawlings Loves You This is so over. Or maybe it’s just starting. Honestly, who cares? Dallas’ panties were collectively bunched yesterday as images from Michelle Rawlings’ — daughter of Mayor Mike Rawlings — upcoming art exhibition, Empathicalism, circulated. Blame it on the dildos. Or on the Photoshopped cover of…

Back from a brief hiatus, the McKinney Avenue Contemporary is boasting a power-packed, three-component show. The largest of the three displays, Coincident Disruption, is the work of Dallas artist Eric Eley. In it, Eley examines camouflage through a penetrable screen of hand-designed nettings. The aerial landscape is bold and alluring;…

Hey girlies, let’s chat. We all know how traditional ladies’ nights go down: You and your besties get dolled up, have cheap drinks, catch up on each other’s lives and then, BAM! Vultures. Sexual scavengers dip down to prey on girls who have had one too many and annoy the…

If you were to see an X-ray of Pablo Francisco’s cranium, it would be a meticulously constructed Rube Goldberg device. The sassy sorority voice kicks into drive a monologue about boning, which triggers a reaction in his human beatbox cortex. This series of bits, impressions and musical mockery continues to…
