Korean Ginseng Bathhouse
There are few social situations in life that not only encourage exposing your rude bits, but insist upon it. Public baths and orgies rank among them. Fun-cushions and tatas, thunderboxes and lightning rods, front bums and baby arms, you name it, they've got it. You might want to put that out of your mind when you visit however.
The El Alamein Fountain
Designed by Robert Woodward, the El Alamein Fountain stands in the heart of Sydney's red-light district, reminiscent of a Jeff Koons take on the humble dandelion. It's iconic of the flash-trash era of the Cross's heyday, where Les Girls, Sweethearts, Porkys and a bloody mary at the Bourbon and Beefsteak were all class.

This Friday, weave your way past the sensory horrors of Kings Cross and pop in to Kit & Kaboodle for some wholesome vintage family fun. Think house-party rather than super-club: there'll be sweet tunes and a dress up box, as well as some late night Twister. It's the one place you can act like a kid in the Cross, but still stay up past your bedtime.

If every Halloween fell on a Friday, we could legitimately spend each October 31 getting trollied dressed as our favourite vaudeville carnie without turning up to work the following day sporting a genuine wish-we-were-dead hangover. But it only happens once in six years (that's counting leap years. Yes we did the math).

The Pet Rocks
Remember pet rocks, that slightly deranged 70s fad? Probably not. But ask your parents; they were the hemp-and-macramé era's answer to Cabbage Patch Kids and Tamagotchis - clean, cheap, well-behaved, um, pet rocks. Well, The Pet Rocks are none of these things. But they're just as laid-back and worthy of your attention.
