  Pink Passport

by Micah Rielzies

While Cinco de Mayo may be over, there are still plenty of slamtastic events for Los Angeles broads looking for lustivities! This month weekdays are the new black and Mother’s Day is celebrated on the 24th.

If I Could Turn Back Time

DJ Brynn Taylor offers a new Sunday night dubbed Rewind, bringing the best old school music with selections from the ’80s and ’90s. What’s more—if you like the sound of 12 quarters slamming down on the bar counter for domestic beer, this is the night for you. Fancy gals save $2 off of their martinis. Clear Lounge, 11916 Ventura Blvd., Studio City. No cover. Doors open at 10 p.m. www.clearlounge.net

Get Your Pre-Hump On

What better way to stave off mid-week insanity than by getting together with the girls and heading to Fuse for a weekly grown-up cocktail dance party at Eleven. DJ Saratonin keeps the girls feeling good, spinning R&B, ’80s, Funk and Top 40 hits. And if all that chatting up and dancing has a girl feeling peckish, no worries. The nightly chef provides the most delectable dishes for your dining pleasure. Prime dinner reservations can be made from 7-9 p.m. No cover. 8811 Santa Monica Blvd. WeHo. www.fuseevents.com

Save the Drama for your Mama

Remember that time you were on the synchronized swimming team in high school, and you befriended the buxom blond star so that you could shamelessly crush on her? Celine Sciamma, in her directorial debut, does. Waterlillies reveals the story of three 15-year-old girls in a web of hetero-homo connections competing for one another’s attention. Floriane (Adele Haenel), a sexually active, curvaceous young lady, is the saucy object of affection to a boyishly awkward Marie (Pauline Acquart). The two become pals as Marie covers for Floriane’s sexcapades with her boyfriend. Anne (Louis Blachere) is the jealous, extroverted, self-conscious best friend of Marie—hungry for the attention of a boy. Catch it all on Friday, May 16. Landmark NuArt Theatre, 11272 Santa Monica Blvd., L.A. www.landmarktheatres.com

Y Tu Mama También

This is not your usual Mother’s Day celebration! On May 24, throw up your sombreros and shake your maracas like it's going out of style as my fellow Mexican, lesbian nightlife photographer, La Madre, celebrates her birthday. DJ LezLee and DJ Jewels will be there, going head-to-head for L.A.’s best looking lesbians! Art and video installations by Yvonne Claire and Kate Phillips, live performances by Zombie Zombie and the electroghetto go-go girls will all be there. You don’t have to like taquitos to experience this event, however, wearing your “I Heart Mexicanas!” T-shirt wouldn't be a bad idea. 1624 W. 34th St., L.A. www.myspace.com/lamugrosa
