Neanderthal Ball

The good news: Orlando Science Center is throwing a party dubbed the Neanderthal Ball. The bad news: You’re not being encouraged to dress like Raquel Welch in One Million Years B.C. Welch, in case your memory doesn’t stretch all the way back to the ’60s, was a superhot cave babe in that movie, which featured dinosaurs co-existing with humans. (Maybe that’s where the young-earth creationists got the idea?) No, the Orlando Science Center would rather you just wear an animal-print tie, put a bone in your hair or, if you’re feeling really sexy, put on a leopard-print dress. Which is sad, because it would be a much better party if Orlando’s crusty uppers were clad in fur loincloths and strategically placed bits of leather. Oh well. There’s a “diamond dig,” wine, music and Disney artists creating topiary dinosaurs. Plus you can make your own cave painting, a cool way to get raunchy for a good cause, as all proceeds benefit OSC’s youth programs. (7 p.m. at Orlando Science Center, 777 E. Princeton St.; $100; 407-514-2233; www.osc.org) (Staff)
