JANUARY SELECTION: The House of Hidden Meanings: A Memoir by RuPaul
With The House of Hidden Meanings, international drag superstar and pop culture icon RuPaul delivers his most revealing and personal work to date--a deeply intimate memoir of discovery, found family, and self-acceptance. It is a self-portrait of the legendary icon on the road to global fame and changing the way the world thinks about drag.
Central to RuPaul’s success has been his chameleonic adaptability. From drag icon to powerhouse producer of one of the world’s largest television franchises, RuPaul’s ever-shifting nature has always been part of his brand as both supermodel and super mogul. Yet that adaptability has made him enigmatic to the public.
In this memoir, his most intimate and detailed book yet, RuPaul makes himself truly known. Here in RuPaul’s singular and extraordinary story is a manual for living—a personal philosophy that testifies to the value of chosen family, the importance of harnessing what makes you different, and the transformational power of facing yourself fearlessly.
The House of Hidden Meanings will be discussed at the next meeting of the Book Discussion Group, to be held on Saturday, January 24 from 11:00 AM to noon at the Stonewall Library, 1300 E Sunrise Blvd. Fort Lauderdale and simultaneously on Zoom. (Meeting ID: 275 139 4844 and Passcode: 076609)

Sicilian Oven is a polished-casual dining concept that revitalizes the traditional pizzeria experience through a focus on wood-fired cooking and authentic Sicilian flavors.
The menu is centered around the wood-fired oven, which produces the restaurant's signature thin-crust pizzas such as "The Boss" (fresh mozzarella, basil, tomato sauce) and "The Captain" (pepperoni, sausage, meatball). Beyond pizza, the kitchen is famous for its oven-roasted chicken wings and the "Sicilian Salad". The menu also includes substantial Italian comfort foods.

There will be carpools for those needing a ride. This event is wheelchair accessible.
Admission: Seniors: $12.00 | Veterans: free
We grab lunch at a nearby restaurant. We will meet @ the entrance @ 2 PM.
In a United States first, 17 Rembrandts are on display in the Norton Museum's new show “Art and Life in Rembrandt’s Time: Masterpieces from The Leiden Collection” stands among the most valuable exhibits the Norton has ever presented. Each of the 17 paintings is valued in the tens of millions of dollars. These paintings make up the world’s largest collection of Rembrandts in private hands.
The Rembrandts are the center of gravity in this survey of 75 paintings by 27 Dutch Golden Age artists, all contemporaries and disciples of the famed painter, etcher, printmaker and drafter. Taken together, The Leiden Collection traces daily life in 17th-century Amsterdam, from portraits of merchant sitters and the Roman deity Minerva to humble family meals in messy Dutch homes. That it’s the U.S. debut of “Art & Life” makes viewing the collection an even rarer experience.

Plainclothes
Free Popcorn & Soda A SAGE & Prime Gentlemen Event
Plainclothes is a 2025 romantic thriller. Set in 1990s New York, a working-class undercover police officer is tasked with entrapping and apprehending homosexual males, cruising for sex, only to find himself drawn to one of his targets. He defies professional orders when he falls in love. This tension-filled coming out story. Plainclothes showcases the perils of love and the effects of isolation. “Plainclothes is a heart-felt story that deals with internal conflict, family and the complexities of sexual identity in the face of societal and personal expectations.
The story has echoes of human rights group 'OutRage' protesting against the Metropolitan Police over their entrapment of gay men in the 1990s --- a world before dating apps and legislation protecting gay rights. Last year, the Met Police finally admitted to "failings of the past.".The protagonist of the film, Lucas'sprofessional betrayal of other gay men reminds the viewer of the deep self-loathing gay men were still made to feel during the Clinton administration. This was the era of the 'Defense of Marriage Act' and 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' a policy that demanded LGBTQ+ people in the military keep their identities secret. Plainclothes saves its best scene for last, when a family dinner whirls off in an unexpected direction following the discovery of a letter. The fallout powerfully shows the consequences of such institutional repression.

Step back in time and rediscover the Egypt of the pharaohs through the masterpieces of this mythical civilization that spans three millennia and fascinates every generation. Egyptian Pharaohs From Cheops to Ramses II will immerse you in the heart of the thousand-year-old civilization that developed along the river Nile, itself a gift from the gods. From the civilization's divine genesis, discover the daily lives of these genius pyramid builders and craftsmen, who dedicated their art to the glory of the pharaohs, and their lives to the divinities, in the hope of gaining access to the afterlife. The paintings, reliefs, sculptures, jewelry and incredible architecture tell the story of life on earth at the time of the pharaohs, making visitors feel infinitely small compared with the opulence of ancient Egypt.
Egyptian Pharaohs: From Cheops to Ramses II is a breathtaking immersive experience created in collaboration with leading Egyptologists and brought to life with stunning 3D reconstructions by Ubisoft - and making the North American debut this October at South Florida PBS.
From the divine origins of the gods to the lush banks of the Nile, through bustling daily life and the awe-inspiring construction of the pyramids, this immersive experience surrounds you in sound, light, and story.
Watch the tombs of kings rise stone by stone and stand face-to-face with the eternal gaze of the Sphinx. This is more than an exhibition—it’s a voyage into a world that captivates the imagination and stirs the soul.
