In our schlubby American jeans-and-T-shirt society, ornately dressed and made-up Japanese Harajuku girls look like beautiful aliens. However, they (along with Gwen Stefani) know something we don’t: Dressing up is so much fun it shouldn’t be relegated to one night in October. Fashionistas can get their freak on every Tuesday at Cosplay, a spectacular free party at SushiSamba Dromo. “You’ll see some really funky Japanese hairstyles and makeup. It’s like Halloween every week!” says Joanna Cisowska, public relations manager for the hip nationwide chain. “People can wear regular clothes, but if they want to participate in the fun, they’re more than welcome,” she adds. Vie for a weekly $250 prize for best costume, watch amazing performers from Circ X, dance to taiko drummers and DJ Lalo C, and drink shochu, the vodkalike spirit that is the most popular alcohol in Asia. The spectacular fun begins at 11:00 p.m. Call 305-673-5337, or visit www.sushisamba.com.
Tuesdays, 11:30 p.m., 2006
