If you were thinking of moseying over to a Target store after work to pick up a few of those Missoni items, don’t bother. By 8:30 this morning the racks were cleaned out. I know this because I was at the Super Target at Abrams and Skillman bright and early,…
In honor of Warrior (out in theaters this past weekend — so go see it … no, seriously, it’s really good), lets take a look back at some of the most epic male sibling rivalries in film history. After the jump, it’s brother against brother. And brother against brother against…
Oh, James Franco. Now that’s a sentence we’ve uttered more than a few times when our boy wonder makes news. He constantly keeps us on our toes with stunts that we’re pretty sure he doesn’t clear with his publicist. First, he went to Columbia and acted all student-like. Then he…
Well lookee at those poll results up there: Tina Fey beat out The Magicians — both fictional and Penn Jillette. For the first assignment, book clubbers, we’re reading the first half of Bossypants (those who have read it say it’s a quick read). For those of you who don’t trust…
“My wife styles me. She’s a stylist.” Style Breakdown: H&M pants and vest, Forever 21 shirt, Ray-Ban glasses, Casio G-Shock watch and Aston Grey boots…
The show that opened Saturday at Gallery Bomb, the month-old space in Oak Cliff’s Tyler-Davis district, is called Brickhouse Bandits, presumably referencing all the purdy girls. On one side of the narrow space, Los Angeles artist Steven Lopez’s nudes in fantastic settings are rendered in shades of green, blue, lavender…
It’s the first of its kind here in Dallas and it appears to be off to a smashing start. I’m referring to Uptown Players’ Dallas Pride Performing Arts Festival that kicked off this past Friday and runs through the September 17. I had the chance to check out three of…
Saturday night’s opening of Tony Cragg: Seeing Things at the Nasher had the museum packed with well-dressed Dallas art lovers humming and buzzing about the incredible body of work. Nights like that remind me of one of Dallas’ best features, gobs of arts’ patrons discussing and admiring and examining the…
It was definitely not on my list of galleries to watch, until now. But when Ryder Richards sent out an announcement about the opening of Reconstructing Perspective at Brazos Gallery, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to get out of the regular gallery loop and see what’s going on just outside…
Last week I participated in a bit of a Facebook debate started by one of our Arts & Culture own (see above). With 38 comments, there was some heavy debate mixed in with the quips. Most skewed on the side of the tiger. But a few of us supported that…
Still haven’t figured out what you’re doing for Friday date night? Well it better be something more entertaining than the ABC prime time lineup, because your date’s not going to stand for that, and if you’re looking for cheap, it doesn’t get much cheaper than this unless you want to…
Last night, Dallas fashionistas united in celebration of the third annual Fashion’s Night Out. The “after hours shopping extravaganza” took place at, well, too many private events to count and a handful of public ones — two of which we style-scoped. The Galleria hosted a series of fashion shows on…
The cool thing about Kevin Bacon is that he doesn’t really seem like a movie star. He seems like, you know, a guy. The kind of guy it would be fun to hang out and shoot the shit with. He’s good looking, but not George Clooney good looking. He’s been…
George C. Scott has been forced to watch the Jack & Jill trailer recently, and now he’s pretty fed up with Rick Perry. Follow the Mixmaster on Twitter and Facebook…
Whatever you had planned for tonight, forget it. Go see The Sunshine Boys at the Eisemann Center in Richardson. If you can’t make it tonight, see it Saturday night at Casa Mañana in Fort Worth. After that, it’s gone, possibly to Broadway (there’s an offer on the table), or maybe…
The Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs and a bunch of Dallas theaters are once again offering free tickets for performances as part of the National Free Night of Theater. Starting today, September 9, enter to win tickets for performances at local theaters in October. Once you’re on the site, you’ll…
Having already lost his position as creative director of his own fashion line and the Christian Dior label, John Galliano’s life just got worse. The former fashion designer was convicted in a Paris court today for racist and anti-Semitic remarks made at a bar in Paris earlier this year. He…
We’re not gonna lie: We love the Los Angeles-based artist that is Brandon Bird and have for years now. We love that his favorite thing to eat is meals (followed closely by snacks)” and we ordered our first set of Law & Order valentines around five years ago. When an…
Every few months Dallas-area theaters pile on the new shows. This is one of those weekends, with 10 productions opening. One of those, Dallas Pride Performing Arts Festival at Uptown Players, is a multi-show offering filling several performance spaces at Kalita Humphreys Theater. So go see a show. Tickets start…
My kid and I were just walking through Toys R Us and there it was: the Disney Princess wedding dress. She was drawn to it like I’m drawn to fried anything: She was mesmerized. Meanwhile, the feminist angel on my shoulder was like, “Wait — Disney princess? Plus wedding?! Plus…
Dallas Opera and the AT&T Performing Arts Center open the 2011-’12 “Tragic Obsessions” opera season at 7:30 p.m., Friday, October 21, with a live street-level “Plazacast” in Sammons Park in front of the Winspear Opera House. Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor starring Romanian soprano Elena Mosuc and Italian baritone Luca Grassi…
Currently the fifth-to-last film on Steven Soderbergh’s ever-expanding pre-retirement slate, Contagion opens on day two of a global viral epidemic. Gwyneth Paltrow plays Beth Emhoff, an American employee for an ominously unspecific multinational corporation who returns from a business trip in Hong Kong to her wintry Midwestern home feeling like…
