by Jahna Peloquin on Oct.15, 2009, under Style & Nightlife
THURSDAY: Gallery 360 Jewelry Trunk Show
Swing by Gallery 360 for a trunk show featuring Silver Cocoon by Tia Keobounpheng, Jill Smith and Mel Tudisco. I’m a huge fan of Keobounpheng’s modern-art inspired laser-cut plastic and wood necklaces, earrings, bracelets and brooches. Bonus: a 20 percent off storewide sale kicks off Thursday and continues through Sunday. (Trunk show 6-9 p.m. 3011 W 50th St., St. Paul. 612-925-2400. www.gallery360mpls.com)
FRIDAY: Real Housewives of Minneapolis at Town House Bar
Drag queen Bebe Gallini makes her St. Paul debut this weekend at the Townhouse Bar with her sure-to-be-raucous routine “Real Housewives of Minneapolis.” My best guess? She’ll lampoon Pampered Chef parties, outlet shopping, and of course, the ‘burbs. (9:30 p.m. 1415 University Av. W., St. Paul. 651-646-7087.)
SATURDAY: FiveTwoSix Benefit Fashion Show
Start out your Saturday night right by giving back in a stylish way. Do-gooding St. Paul salon spa and gallery FiveTwoSix hosts a swanky soiree that showcases the latest in local fashion to benefit the Children’s Hospital Association. The evening includes a fashion show featuring the latest from Karma, Picky Girl, kjurek couture, Lucky Lola, MHD Couture, and HeartStrands Jewelry (styled by FiveTwoSix salon stylists, of course), and a silent auction while satisfying your taste buds with wine, hors d’ oeuvres and sweets. (6:30 p.m., fashion show at 7 p.m. $35. 526 Selby Av., St. Paul. RSVP to 763-434-4467.)
SATURDAY: A Prairie Home Companion f. Rosanne Cash at Fitzgerald Theater
Aren’t we lucky? The nationally broadcast “A Prairie Home Companion” is taped in our own backyard, so take the opportunity to see it live. Country crooner and Johnny Cash spawn Rosanne Cash is the musical guest of this week’s live taping of the NPR variety radio show. And lucky us, because it’s one of only a few live shows the singer is doing this fall (the others being two shows in Brooklyn). Her latest release, The List, is a compilation of covers of country songs her dad considered to be essential. As usual, the show is hosted by Garrison Keillor, who will be joined by regulars Sue Scott, Tim Russell, Tom Keith, and the Guy’s All-Star Shoe Band, as well as musical guest Heather Masse. (4:45 p.m. $32-48. 10 E. Exchange St., St. Paul. 651-290-1221.)
FRIDAY-SUNDAY: Weekend shopping at the State Fairgrounds
Purveyors of rare antiques and collectibles, the annual Star of the North Antique Show takes place this weekend in conjunction with the Half-Price Book Clearance Sale at the State Fairgrounds (see below for more). For sale will be antiques in every category, from historical, to advertising, to coins, to fine art glass, to prints, to jewelry, to housewares, and more.

Nothing goes for more than $3 at this blowout book sale put on by Half-Price Books. The local chain promises four semitrucks-worth of hardback and paperback books, kids’ books, DVDs, videos, CDs, LPs, books on tape and software. (9 a.m.-6 p.m. State Fair Grandstand, 1755 Dan Patch Av., St. Paul.)
