    Celebs Party In Houston

    Celebs party like rock stars in Houston: Sexy Spice Girls, Wendy Davis, Willie Nelson help Planned Parenthood

    Joel Luks

    We couldn't help but giggle at the compact square invitations for Planned Parenthood Young Leaders' annual late night bash that gets the city's twenty and thirtysomething party crowd walking on the wild side. Glued to the back of the card for "Party Like a Rock Star" was a Sheer brand condom and its double entendre slogan — Proper attire required for entry . . .

    Lets just leave it at that, shall we?

    The suggested dress for the Saturday carouse at the House of Déreon Media Center inspired a few hundred guests to channel the attitude of the rich and famous even without event space founders Beyoncé and mama Tina Knowles in attendance.

    The savvy duo that cloned Wendy Davis and Rodney Ellis complete with back brace won top costume honors.

    Among a bevy of makeshift celebs making a statement at the soiree were Alden Clark as Elton John, Jonathan Beitler as Jerry Garcia, Flora Brooks as Stevie Nicks and party chair Brittanie Shey as a feminine version of Willie Nelson alongside her hubby Christopher Holland as Elvis.

    Although those valiant costume efforts were noted, it was a quintet of sexy gals plus one dude that included Brittany Batte, Barry Tong, Bethany Parks, Christina Gates and Theresa Rich that turned heads as the British pop sensation Spice Girls, earning third place in the contest for best getup. In second place were Kim Weller, Phi Tran and Lan Chao as Josie and the Pussycats.

    The savvy duo that cloned State Senators Wendy Davis and Rodney Ellis complete with a filibuster back brace — that would be Shondra Wygal and Ward Curtain, respectively — won top costume honors. Entrants received prizes from Sparrow Bar + Cookshop, The Corkscrew and Sprinkles Cupcakes.

    Entertainment courtesy of electronic musician Bagheera and the burlesque broads of Dem Damn Dames kept localebrities on the dance floor until midnight. Keeping the lively throng lubricated was liquid poison sponsored by Buffalo Bayou Brewing Company and El Grand Malo, accompanied by nibbles from the kitchens of Pondicheri, Sorrel Urban Bistro and Butter & Company Catering.

    Voguing the night away were last year's chairsLauren and Michael Reeder, Sarah Rufca and Kyle Nielsen, Rassul Zarinfar, Deborah Melanson, Ed Benyon, Mike Maggart, James Glassman, Adam Walker, David Lake, Christina Salazar, Nick Anderson, Beth Lee, Angie Wiens and Laura Leon, and many, many others.

    Party Watch

    Crawfish, beer, and live tunes spice up Houston nonprofit's fundraiser

    What: The Post Seafood Boil benefiting Vita Living

    Where: The Post Beer and Wine Garden

    The Scoop: More than 130 Houstonians peeled, pinched, and partied their way through a sun-soaked Saturday at The Post’s annual seafood boil, held March 29 at the buzzing beer and wine garden in the Heights. For the first time, the finger-lickin’ feast served up support for Vita Living, a nonprofit supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

    Guests dove into 400 pounds of perfectly spiced crawfish — because what’s spring in Texas without a little crustacean celebration? Zydeco Bulls and Saint Judas and The Black Hymns brought the vibes with live sets that had folks toe-tapping between mudbugs and beer refills.

    Bryan P. Smith donated custom T-shirts, which were sold on-site to help raise more than $4,000, with a portion of event proceeds still rolling in to benefit Vita Living. Shoutout sponsors Gaille Energy Law and ShawContract, whose support helped power the boil.

    Who: Tina Gaille, Michele Marburger, Bobby Shaw, Lauren Mitchell, Matt Thomas, and Jennifer Leal.
