Poll question time! If you decided to have an alter ego, would it be an evil genius like Mr. Hyde or a save-the-day type like Superman? A new exhibit at the Bath House Cultural Center, Magic Mirrors and Alter Egos, explores this very territory over the next month. It’s described…

Three inevitable things in life scare the bejeezus out of me, as a woman in her mid-twenties: crows feet, gravity taking over certain body parts and menopause. Of course a little plastic surgery can take care of the first two, but I really don’t want to come out looking like…

Do you want to combine your kickboxing class with your cooking one to save time and money? Well, keep looking, buddy, because the Knockout Desserts class isn’t it. With the help of Central Market staffer Rebecca Allinson, you will, however, learn how to make Italian chocolate-almond torte and not-so-angelic angel…

All my friends know by now that I’m not the one to come running to with relationship problems if they’re seeking answers. My solution to those types of situations is to make a fruity drink with lots of liquor and an umbrella and let them borrow a season of Sex…

I always thought there was a fine line between being a spy and being a stalker. They are kind of one in the same, but being a secret agent man who travels the world on missions makes you a badass, and well, being just a regular man who watches women…

Who would have ever guessed the son of a potato chip factory worker and a forklift driver would end up rolling around half-naked on a beach with supermodel Helena Christensen? Well, anyone who has ever laid eyes on that tall drink of water Chris Isaak would. Of course, this rock…

Do you have the Sunday night blues? The hellacious work week is about to begin again, and well, you don’t want it to. I have just the cure for you–watch out, though, it has a lot of flavor. Kiki Melendez, the creator of Hot Tamales Live, will be in town…

Why is it in almost every fairy tale that the lady is always the one in distress, and Prince Charming has to ride up on his white horse to save the day? How about the other way around, where the man is captured by brain-eating zombies, and the woman rides…

Some children want to grow up and become graceful ballerinas, or perhaps fight crime on the dangerous streets like their daddies did. Others want to put on a big, puffy, white marshmallow suit with an oversized helmet and float away into space. Then there are the rare ones who want…

Apparently the new song of the summer is “I’m on a Boat” by SNL funnyman Andy Samberg’s group Lonely Island. I would sing a few lyrics for you, but I can’t in case there’re children reading this (no time for angry parents), and well the title is pretty self-explanatory. Just…

What do you get when small-town country folk meet Sin City? The entertaining comedic play Tuna Does Vegas. Joe Sears and Jaston Williams are at it again with their eccentric characters from the classic Greater Tuna. This time around, everyone from the third-smallest town in Texas is making a trip…

Summer has arrived, heat and all, my friend. To kick off this favorable season, Primo’s and the Quarter Bar in the heart of Uptown are throwing a good old-fashioned block party this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Big Al from KHKS-106.1 “KISS FM” will MC the event, and…

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s…it’s an oversized, dog-like creature flying through the sky? WTF? No need to worry, it’s just Falkor, the luckdragon from The Neverending Story, passing by. You know the iconic fantasy film which was based on the German novel Die unendliche Geschicht? Never heard about…

We first met her as the rebellious, basketball-playing teenager on the show we all loved to hate (or maybe that was just me), 7th Heaven. Flash forward a few years and we got to watch her running for her life away from the disfigured, chainsaw-wielding mass murderer in the remake…

What does a beautifully landscaped garden full of unique sculptures and a variety of Mother Nature’s trees have in common with a green-colored ogre who loves the swamp and is maybe best friends with a talkative donkey? You. Yes, you. Only if you decide to attend Summer at the Nasher’s…

Do you want to combine your love of shopping malls and the ability to do downward dog? NorthPark Center has invited you to attend their summer-long yoga class for free–yes, for FREE. Every Saturday morning starting at 9:30 a.m., the Cooper Fitness Center will be holding a traditional yoga class…

Theme parks are supposed to be filled with children eating cotton candy while standing in line to ride the coolest new attraction, and teenagers trying to guess our weight as part of their summer job. It’s not to supposed to include you running for your life from a seven-ton, vicious…

Random fact: I was only 7 years old the first time I ever made sushi, thanks to my grannie. She believed every child should know how to make a California roll. Seventeen years later, I get to dust off my sushi board for the Advanced Sushi class at Central Market…

Did you know the famous Arthur Miller play All My Sons was based on a true story? Kind of upsetting considering it’s about businessmen who knowingly sold the government defective airplane parts during World War II. Not to mention that the play includes a man falling in love with and…

Personally, I’d rather not go to a mall when I need to do some shopping. They’re always too crowded with bubblegum-chewing skater kids and angry mothers speed-walking with their baby strollers, and the music is always obnoxiously loud. The Jewish Community Center feels my pain, because this Sunday they are…

Whenever I see the words dead and society in the same title or sentence, I usually assume it’s along the lines of or referring to the movie Dead Poets Society. You know, the uber-depressing movie about a group of Vermont schoolboys. In this case, the Dead Photographer’s Society has nothing…
