Single In the City: Off-Key and Airbrushed
Nothing says single like a stack of skinflicks or dirty magazines, right? LAist knows that many fellows (and many ladies, too--we like to keep it real here) enjoy devoting some of their single-self down time (or should we say up time, gents?) to the pursuit of the fantasy (fe)male in all their airbrushed glory. Heck, even some paired-up people like to sneak a peek on the side, raid their stash when their s.o. is not around, or embrace the naughty into their quality couple's time. But we're well aware that it's hard for an everyday Joe or Jane to compete with the beautiful folks who make their living sans clothing--it's enough to give a singleton a complex.
This is where a little something called Porn Star Karaoke comes in. It's both an in-the-flesh fantasy come to life event, but also something that can level the playing field. Just because they're tanned, toned, slacked, and semi-clad does not mean they can sing. But, oh, it's sure fun to watch. Sardo's Bar in Burbank is home to weekly event where the folks who keep the Valley economy thriving mingle at the mic with regular people like us. In fact, according to a couple of websites, such as Contact Porn Stars and Adult Industry News, this is truly a local elbow-rubbing (elbow, folks, we said elbows only!) opportunity for karaoke enthusiasts, barflies, porn fans, and studs and starlets to hang out and belt out a favorite tune. May we suggest "Like a Virgin"? We didn't think so. If Porn Star Karaoke conjures up one word in association, it would have to be...fun! And while we don't necessarily predict any singles might actually score, it certainly doesn't hurt to show up and see the skintastic spectacle. Can porn stars actually sing? We say, heck, let's find out!
Porn Star Karaoke is every Tuesday night at 9:00 p.m. at Sardo's Bar: 259 North Pass Avenue, Burbank (818) 846-8127 (Cover charges may apply) Oh, and we don't know who the babe in the picture is. We think her name is Jill, and she might even be there. She sure is purty, ain't she?!
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
