Wrecked parties are always a lot of fun — the DJs really turn it out, you always know what you’re going to get. This weekend they are celebrating their 5 year anniversary at Analog in South Brooklyn plus it’s the birthday of one of their resident DJs Ryan Smith (pictured), who’s DJing along with Ron Like Hell and Tad Haes (Occupy The Disco, NYC). Expect a lot of dancing, "serious sound," lots of boys, sweat (they are even encouraging you to “dress to sweat”), naked bodies, booze, wigs, glitter, some pussy, dicks, poppers…you know the usual suspects. Writing about parties is so silly, I mean it’s just a party, right? But, then again, we have lots of out of town readers so this might be helpful. Just go and get Wrecked! Happy Anniversary and thanks for providing us with an awesome party. Cheers!  —Abi

The best thing about a Mariah Carey party is that the bitch has sooo many good songs. I mean, she’s been singing hits since the 80’s and she’s still going. NO ONE CAN STOP HER! Anyhoos, on March 27th (this party is celebrating her a b’day a little early) she turns 45. I feel like Mariah has been in my world my whole life, I can’t believe she’s only 45. Expect DJs Amber Valentine & Horrorchata to be spinning Mariah tracks and remixes all night long, with a special show by Miss Bettina Jackson. I won’t rattle on about this party — it’s Mariah, it’s her birthday, gay people are involved, it’s gonna be cute.   —tom

“Do you like cerveza and tequila?” Yes and yes! Just reading the Facebook page for this new party in Brooklyn got me in the mood. Don’t you love 2016? There’s a new party almost every week. Here’s a brand new one called Yas Mama! created by the super cool Brooklyn drag queen and DJ Horrorchata. It sounds promising — It’s “Latin hip-hop and salsa...slaying musica cumbia-free style, hip-hop-80s-90s, reaggaton, salsa, ranchera...it’s going to be glam. Latinas Unite.” I feel so close to home (the D.R.) writing this, I am internally yassing as I am type. Other DJs for the night are Monkey (Raul de Nieves) and Bebe (Tortura). Performances are by Lady Quesadilla and Horrorchata herself. It’s also hosted by Miss Untitled Queen (Brooklyn’s Queen of the Year). Are you ready to get turnt? Yas Mama! It sounds nuts.  —Abi

This sounds very interesting “a new, clothing-non-compulsory night of manual exploration premiering during N.Y.’s horniest week of the year...” Wow, I never thought Eastern Bloc could get more friendly. About two weeks ago, I was wandering around the East Village with a friend after a few puffs and we randomly ended up at the new Cock. The basement was very sweaty and seedy — you know what happens at The Cock stays at the Cock — my friend and I didn’t love it because we didn’t really like the menu, the boys there, were not really our taste. Anyways, I am assuming and hoping, that this party is gonna have a fresher, sexier crowd. I am probably not gonna check in my clothes, (your $5 entrance includes clothing check) but I’ll still go to see what’s up. You know we love a new party. Apparently, the place is gonna be darker, and “no flash lights.” So you have nothing to worry about, no one cares if you take your pants off, trust me you can probably still run for President even if you’ve been filmed naked at a sex party.  —Abi

I’m so fucking glad it’s getting warmer outside. The streets are getting cruisy again — finally! It just puts everyone in a better mood. It’s time to go out more, even on a Sunday — to this party for instance. It’s called Bottom Shelf. The word “bottom” is used so loosely lately, it kind of makes sense because it’s more interesting than using the word “top.” It also feels that in 2016 everyone wants to be a bottom, I am not sure if the city is tracking these statistics, but I just keep hearing things. Bottom Shelf is a “vinyl-only techno house dance party.” It’s a monthly party, it’s low key, for the local boys and of course for those of you not in the East Village who want to travel. “SPRKLBB spins vinyl all night long with house, techno, and any deepness inbetween... Bar bae Cedric and host Rify Royalty bring the magic with gogo meat Lightning Blue Eyes.” Go get bottom shelf’d.  —Abi

Be cute, it’s not too much to ask I don’t think. Being cute doesn’t mean you have to be genetically blessed with beauty. Cuteness is a state anyone can achieve. Cuteness is an attitude, it’s a way of being. This party which they describe as “A booty bounce Queer Party for aliens that love to shake it to the ground” was born in Bed-stuy two years ago (it was at One Last Shag.) Now it’s at a new home, Littlefield, and we’re excited for what they have in store. Be Cute is a mix party in that it’s very welcoming of all “Drag / Girls / Boys / Transgender[s].”  Which makes perfect sense because there’s nothing cuter than gender and sexual fluidity. Expect shows by Charlene, Lucy Balls, Lady Bearica Andrews (NOBODIES) and Areil Italic (NOBODIES). Snacks will be provided by the Empanada Lady (she gets around!). Have fun and remember to be nice — as they like to point out, Be Cute is a “is a no shade space.” OOOOOOK?  —tom
