From party games to zesty conversation, hidden talents to secret desires, Parsley's here to remind you just how much fun it can be to make new acquaintances and questionable decisions!

"I've partied with the best of them, from Studio 54 to the shores of Ibiza, from Hef's grotto to Beyonce and Jay-Z's secret moon base and now, I'm here to help the gorgeous people of metro-Phoenix get off of their couches and back on the scene!" - Parsley Periwinkle

Performances of A PERFECTLY PLEASANT PARTY WITH PARSLEY PERIWINKLE will be held each Friday and Saturday, September 17 through October 9, at 6:30 pm and 7:30 pm at FilmBar's "Lounge, " 815 N. 2nd St, Phoenix.

National Margarita Day

A lot of us have really picked up an interest in tequila and it's no wonder. Its popularity is soaring in the U.S. and doesn't look like it'll be slowing down any time soon. The only contender would probably be whiskey. Meh, but they have their own day. Now, it's National Margarita Day and we put together some of the best margarita recipes around so you can pick one or maybe even all of them to try.

We have a few surprises in there too. Maybe it's not all about tequila but it certainly has a theme going on. Take a look at some of these great tequila brands and start making some amazing margaritas today!
