YOU BETTER WORK! DO YOUR THING ON THE RUNWAY!

Watch the guys strut their stuff at tonight’s Mr. Ramrod Contest. After a few too many “Defying Gravi-tinis” at LIT, you’ll think you sing as well as Ralphie the Singing Bartender. You Don’t!  It’s leather night at Mad Hatter.

The Black Violin Tour is at Glazer Hall in Palm Beach and Miami Carnival Day Parade and Fête is at Central Broward Park in Lauderhill (don’t ask me why a Miami event is in Lauderhill, I only report these events.)

SPARKLE BABY, SPARKLE!

It’s “Dress Up Karaoke” at Hunters. TP Lords has opened her trunks and brought in boas, hats, and all sorts of sparkly things to get you in your best diva mood. There’s some sort of game (or two, or three) on the video monitors at Gym Bar,  but I enjoy watching the crowd more. And when I yell, “Score!” it has nothing to do with the game.

MORE KARAOKE

If dressing up isn’t your thing, TP Lords hosts Royal T karaoke tonight (does she tote that karaoke machine around town with her?). If you DO want to dress up, in a different kind of outfit, it’s Pup Night at Eagle. It’s the monthly “Customer Appreciation Night” at Rebel Wine Bar, which means some complimentary charcuterie snacks.

It’s Pride Skate Night at Xtreme Action Park. At Salvo Osteria Romana, Ralphie performs and it’s also $25 all you can eat pasta night. The Pride Center presents a Restorative Yoga class from noon-1 p.m. and “Buena Vista Social Club” is at The Broward Center through Oct. 18.
