Pink is a fun color. Pink is vibrant and bold. Some people like hot pink while others prefer tickle-me-pink. Light pink and dark pink are possible options too. But what happens when your passion for putting a pink pep in your step goes too far? Just ask Pinkalicious. When she…
While our favorite thing on ice is whiskey, we’re guessing most kids (hopefully) have a different opinion. Of course, we’re talking about Disney On Ice, which skates its way to Allen (the suburb squeezed between Plano and McKinney) in the form of Mickey & Minnie’s Magical Journey just in time…
When it comes down shaking up old traditions and busting down cultural barriers, nothing does it like ’60s haircuts and copious amounts of shimmying and twisting. The beloved musical Hairspray doesn’t pull punches when it comes to mixing up old-school pop and loads of hair products. It’s the story of…
No, Post Pop Punks at Cohn Drennan Contemporary isn’t a DIY concert in the Design District. Instead, the show is a group exhibition revolving around the passing of time and the movement of ideas between artists. While some of the nine artists in the exhibition are relatively new acquaintances, others…
The sucky thing about Snowpocalypse 2011 was that all of the Dallas area screeched to a halt for a few days. Sure, everything was nice and pretty outside, all covered in that rarity called snow, but it was next to impossible to go anywhere, much less do anything fun, so…
Watching Bob Costas interrogate the unseen, unrepentant Penn State shower jockey Jerry Sandusky on NBC’s Rock Center Monday night — and then in replay every hour since — was a worthwhile reminder of how good Costas is when he’s allowed to be. He drilled Sandusky, pardon the expresh, for quibbling…
Welcome to another edition of Geek-Offs, where you’ll find the perfect distractions to help you muddle your way through hump day each week. We love ninjas. Big time. And what’s not to love? Those little dudes can do everything – the high flying, shuriken throwing, super sneaky shinobi have been…
Hey girl, you’re so pretty you could be on reality TV. And now, here’s your chance: Cornwell Casting will be in town on Thursday and we’ve got tips, details and advice from the man, himself – Jason Cornwell – who is handling the whole rodeo. We know what he’s looking…
Gay Video & Lesbian Movies – Logo: Fierce TVScene 1: Don’t-Call-Him-Crazy James is lounging poolside, and up walks the blond mensch of a side character, Brayden, rocking an outfit that might be sold at Chico’s in 2048. James makes fun of Bray-Bray’s get-up, comparing him unfavorably to Joan Rivers. But…
Comedian is seemingly too simple of a label for the multi-talented Larry Miller. But when you examine the veteran scene-stealer’s creative offerings, Comedian is perhaps the most appropriately broad title for him outside of Restless Artist. Whether it’s his well-followed podcast endeavors, his classic stand-up routines, his memorable roles in…
The new rock-and-roll musical is called On the Eve. Actor Michael Federico wrote it with his friends Seth and Shawn Magill, the husband-and-wife team who head up East Dallas band Home by Hovercraft. It’s about Marie Antoinette, sort of, and you can see its debut, in a pay-what-you-can staged reading,…
Heard a story once about Niccolo Paginini, the Italian violin prodigy who suffered from a grab-bag of maladies, that when his teeth began to fall out he’d use violin strings to hold them together. The point: there is no musician more epic than a dedicated violinist. So, to those who’re…
The piece is called Lake Austin Motel, Room 133. But as soon as I hear the title, I think of Lake Austin Spa Resort. I imagine the reclining figure is taking a much needed break after taking Nia classes and kayaking in the lake all day long. The black and…
Photographer Mike Brooks was busy on Saturday night. Beginning at the magical photography hour known to us humans as “sunset,” Mike found the Shut Up and Rumble skateboard demo at Overground Skate Park. From there, it was Octopus Project, and then Art Con 7 in Oak Cliff with Jason Roberts…
“Who are you wearing?” was the first thing I heard as I stepped into the pre-dinner reception at the Sheraton Dallas. “Betsey Johnson,” I said to the inquirer. I love events full of gay men. The annual Black Tie Dinner is certainly one of those events. Not that there isn’t…
Name: Steven Wallace, 27 Occupation: Photographer Location: Dallas Contemporary Style Breakdown: “Lacoste shoes, Levi’s jeans, Artful Dodger hoodie, Michael Kors watch, a hippie gave me the bracelet.” Influences: “My emotions, how I’m feeling determines the colors I wear.”…
Back in March, Elaine had a Giant announcement on Unfair Park: The full Dallas Theater Center’s lineup from artistic director Kevin Moriarty, which included the Michael John LaChiusa musical Giant (based on the book by Sybille Pearson). Well, another Insert-Huge-Adjective-Here announcement just-in-the-in-box: (h/t Robert) The DTC’s officially announced the cast…
Beginning at the Grassy Knoll, which is always the best place to begin something, a hundred-or-so fancy pants guys and gals biked through downtown and historic Oak Cliff yesterday. It was the third annual Tweed Bike ride, and it may or may not explain why this author nearly plowed through…
On Saturday night, the inside perimeter of a sweeping gray West Dallas warehouse building at 511 West Commerce Street was temporary tiled with rows of square works of art — all the same size (18×18 inch square boards) and all created locally, but each incredibly unique, from a colorful woman…
Have a buck? You could see a play tonight. And a good one at that. The Ochre House theater, Matthew Posey’s hothouse of experimental work, is doing a pay-what-you-can performance of its latest, Ex Voto: The Immaculate Conceptions of Frida Kahlo. Actress Elizabeth Evans, looking eerily like the artist, plays…
You may remember him from his aborted run for the 2008 Libertarian presidential nomination, from his fight-provoking confrontational 2004 Austin set when he followed the political bombast of Alex Jones or from the riots that occasionally ensue at his shows when he touches a particularly sensitive nerve in his audiences…
Got a wall in your house that’s desperate for a piece of art? This is the weekend to buy a painting, or at least stare at lots of art if you’ve already blown your budget on commemorative Nolan Ryan signed baseballs. If you haven’t seen the latest exhibition at Kettle…
