Friday To-Do: Savoir Faire
SAVOIR FAIRE
9 p.m., the Peabody. $5.
The Peabody's RiverTop Party switches it up again on Friday. Savoir Faire brings together what's become the necessary elements of any local sophisticated get-down: a fashion show, DJs and live music. The fashion show features clothes by local designer Missy Lipps and from local boutique Magpie and Birdie. The Cool Shoes crew — Deeter, Shawn Lee and Risky Biz — provide the soundtrack. DJ IKE (“I Kill Eternally”) mans the ones and twos, too. Suga City, the Stuttgart-and-Pine Bluff-bred rap duo of Arkansas Bo and Goines, should figure into any conversation about the finest rap talent in the state. Lately, they've hardly performed and not released any new material. Here's hoping this is the beginning of a productive period. Cameron Holifield, Cool Shoes' resident video collagist, beams bright, mostly abstract video, which he says will take a new direction this go round, for those who need a little visual distraction. Admission is free before 9 p.m.
