Break Out the Lint Brush for Tonight's Sippin' in Seersucker, Benefitting the Ogden Museum

Nothing to do tonight? Dust off that seersucker ensemble from the closet and hit Sippin' in Seersucker, between 6 and 9 p.m. at the Shops at Canal Place. On top of outfits being mercilessly judged by two-time ensemble winner Tony Lamanna and a burlesque performance by Trixie Minx, there will be food and booze by a host of restaurants including Baru, Mahoney's and the Delachaise, for a $50 admission fee.

Of course, for anyone who's already super cultured and has a membership to the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, the admission fee is only $30, and it would have been $25 if you weren't such a procrastinator and didn't wait until the day of the event to buy a ticket. Sheesh. All proceeds go to the Ogden, so if you attend, you can justifiably tell people that you're a patron of the arts while you get trashed in fancy summer wear.
