An "Eggplant Emoji" Painting Session at Kush Brickell

Kush Brickell is hosting a risky paint-and-sip event this weekend with drag queen Blamie Forret. The painting session is inspired by the movie Superbad, where all guests are welcome to let their creativity take over and draw their whimsical interpretations of male genitalia on paper while sipping on a special selection of Hey Hei hard seltzer flavors. Paint supplies will be provided to all guests, and the top three masterpieces win prizes. 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday, December 30, at 650 South Miami Avenue, Miami. Admission is free with RSVP via eventbrite.com.
