When Larisa Fuchs (Miss Scorpio of party-planning duo Gemini & Scorpio) first told us about her plans for a speakeasy-themed soiree, she called her chosen locale, the Players Club, “one of the most unique places in the city.” Looks to us like the guests lived up to the venue, including French haute couture designer Jean-Paul Gautlier!

If you’re still kicking yourself for letting a little wet weather keep you from trekking to Coney Island for this past weekend’s Mermaid Parade, take heart: The Gemini & Scorpio ladies have found a way for you to reenact your Splash fantasies well before next summer’s beach party. On June 27, don fins, aqua makeup and seashell pasties—or, if you prefer, a hobo costume—for Hobos & Mermaids on the High Seas, a dance and costume party aboard the Clipper City ship (Pier 17, South Street Seaport; boat boards 9pm, sails 10pm–midnight; advance $20, at the dock $25). DJ Jon Margulies, the originator of hobo-tech, will have you hobo-pokeying to railroad-song mash-ups all night long. The mer-people, however, may prefer the swim.
