Sat 10/28, Cirque du Risqué It’s that time of year again, when folks are given license to let all their inner struggles out in the form of costumes that serve as thinly veiled references to deep-seated insecurities, desires and turmoil. As cynical as that may sound, psychology tells us it’s healthy to role-play. Plus, it sure can be a lot of fun. If you’re up for projecting your sexiest self this weekend, you’ll probably want to make Paramour’s Cirque du Risqué one of your stops. Meant to mimic a seedy old freak show kind of vibe, this special event will feature a contortionist, burlesque performances, a caricaturist, carnival-inspired snacks and themed drinks, and a Ringmaster who’ll officiate the debauchery of this sensuous circus. $35, 7-11pm, Paramour, 109 9th St., Suite 400, (210) 340-9880, paramourbar.com.— JC Credit: Jeffrey Burton
