It’s that time again—lay off the carbs, start doing those crunches and search your dresser for your best intimate attire. Hotel Congress is throwing its annual underwear party and staffers there claim it will be their biggest yet. According to a press release, 1,200 people of all shapes and sizes showed up last year and partied as Bacchus intended. (Bacchus is the Roman god of wine, but remember to drink responsibly.)
Highlights include performances by B4Skin, DJs Satyr Entertainment, Bob Felix, Sid the Kid and Jalph. The human terrarium will be back—sounds intriguing—and the cover is only $5. Dance floors will be open indoors and out, and an “ancient Roman” photo booth will be available for memorable snapshots of the evening, taken by a professional photographer. And if you don’t want to drive to Congress in your skivvies, there’s also a free clothing check so you can get undressed there.
The 21-and-older event goes down at 9 p.m., Saturday, July 19. Hotel Congress is located at 318 E. Congress St. Visit hotelcongress.com/music/underwear-party for more info.

Apparently Irene didn’t take much from Mari’s Body Revolution cover storyin the March 20-26 issue. http://www.tucsonweekly.com/tucson/body-revolution/Content?oid=4026028.
If she had, maybe she would have thought about not immediately starting this blurb by injecting every reader with anxiety about their figure, making them question whether or not they’re in ‘good enough’ shape to attend. I mean this blurb is supposed to be promotional, not alienating… no? How about “Whatever you did or didn’t do to get ready for pool season, shed your clothes and have a great f*cking time”?
Now excuse me while I finish my ice cream and try on the hot dog underwear I bought for this party.
Totally agree with Erin Jaye. Climb out of the 70s and stop body shaming.
