Philly duo Retrograde (artist Therese Lavery and musician Tony Revolta) is hosting a glittery night of music, theatrics and burlesque that would make Bowie proud. Taking on MC duties is The Divine Miss Jimmi, who'll be joined by Ms. Kiki Berlin, Firebaby and Philadelphia's Creem Circus to offer up some 21st-century glam performances. And to make sure you're appropriately festooned for the occasion, makeup artists from Lady Saint's Styledelphia Artist Academy will be on call to do you up right. That — combined with your favorite platforms and vintage sequin mini — should be all you need to send your inner Ziggy Stardust into orbit.
Fri., Feb. 17, 8 p.m., $10, The HeadHouse, 122 Lombard St., 215-922-1223, headhousephilly.com.
