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?!
