Still Dru Hill had its fair share of success with hits “In My Bed,” “Never Make A Promise” and “How Deep Is Your Love.” $40. TJ's Take: Worth checking out.

'We need a little more action in those hips!'

A Very Tampone Christmas was my kind of party. What says happy holidays better than blindfolds, safe words and a dour Christmas elf? Local actors come together to turn the Frock Shop into a cozy home for a naughty Christmas party. The actors are in character with ridiculous accents and even better costumes. Even the food has adult names. Just to give you an idea, party-goers are divided into tops, bottoms and switches. I don't want to spoil it for you, but here's a little video peek from Saturday night. 8 p.m. The Frock Shop, 901 Central Ave. $25. Parking onsite.

Other Events

Happy Birthday! - The venerable Double Door Inn celebrates its 41st Anniversary tonight headlined by Lenny Federal, who's probably been playing there since the doors opened. Don't miss the chance to celebrate with this local legendary music venue. 8 p.m. Double Door Inn, 1218 Charlottetowne Ave. $10.

Stringer Bell Broke Her Heart! - "Love And Hip-Hop's" K. Michelle is getting mad press after opening up about her relationship with heartthrob Idris Elba. Apparently, their eight-month relationship inspired her new album "Anybody Wanna Buy A Heart?" Sounds like it didn't end well. 7 p.m. Neighborhood Theatre,  511 E. 36th St. $50 and up.
