See Madame Siam Sideshow Emporium, a freaky underground pageant of cocktails, games and political relief from the Houston Brothers, opening tonight in Hollywood for Moschino's after-party.

You'll also see...
—Performers twisting and contorting and playing music and generally being amazing.
—Corn dogs slung from a chuck wagon. Everyone loves corn dogs. No. We said everyone.
—A President-shaped game that involves knocking cans out of its mouth.
—A lot of vintage hand-lettering. It's really nice.
—A diminutive, invite-only bar-within-the-bar hidden behind the tarot card reader.
—A game where you throw Whiffle balls at Kim Jong Un's head and extremities.
So much for diplomacy.
