This year, I will be celebrating Saint Valentine from the comforts and confines of my living room. For those of you looking to go out and be social, but want to avoid the lame and over priced prefix restaurant dinners, here are some events I have come across this week:

1. BoylesqueTO: Me Mein Valentine! A Weimar inspired male burlesque show, huh? Hilarious! This event promises to be “a showcase of sexual outlaws, with ladies of ill repute, and men of gender ambiguity!”. If nothing else, you’ll get a good laugh and likely have a little fun while you’re at it.

Where: The Gladstone Hotel (1214 Queen St. West)

When: Saturday February 14th and Sunday February 15th @ 9pm

Cost: Advanced tix $25.00, door tix $30.00

Who: YOU!

2. RENDEVOUS: Toronto’s singles soiree with a cause! While you’re busy dancing the night away, having your make-up done, sipping on delicious martinis and receiving free give aways from a number of sponsors, you will also be supporting the “Because I’m a Girl” campaign, which goes to provide clean water, food, security, health care and education to women and girls around the world.

Where: The Fifth (225 Richmond St. West)

When: Sunday February 14th @ 10pm

Cost: $20.00

Who: Girls +23, Boys +25

3. Jezebel Burlesque‘s G’Lamour: For those of you who have not yet been to Jezebel, its definitely worth experiencing at least once. It’s a small space, lined with velvet covered booths and grand chandeliers. It will no doubt provide a high end, debaucherous Valentines experience. Check out their Facebook invite here

Where: 227 Ossington Avenue

When: Sunday February 14th  @ 10pm

Who: YOU!

Have you heard of any other V-Day parties? Got anything big planned?
