You enjoy taking it off to "Super Freak" and are a pro at jumping into moving Volkswagens. Wild, child. Show off your playful side by bringing your date to see much more than a movie.

Main Event: This week, the Headhouse District's "Make It A Film Night" series is featuring Little Miss Sunshine. In case you've been living under a boulder, the flick follows the beyond-quirky Hoover family as they rally together to deliver 7-year-old Olive to a glitzy beauty pageant. Even if you've seen it a few times, come for complimentary pre-movie striptease lessons led by Society Hill Dance Academy instructors. Live with your parents? Still sleep on Phillies sheets? No need to worry about taking your honey back when you can get them to undress right here. Wed., Aug. 6, 6:15 p.m., free, Historic Headhouse, Second and Lombard streets, 215-413-3713, southstreet.com.

Dessert: Ice cream may not be part of Mr. Hoover's nine-step "Refuse to Lose" mantra, but it'll make you a winner in the eyes of your date. We suggest post-movie canoodling at More Than Just Ice Cream, which is open until 11 p.m. tonight. Channel your inner Olive and share a giant slice of their deep dish apple pie with some rich vanilla ice cream on the side. 1119 Locust St., 215-574-0586.

Outfit: For an Olive-inspired ensemble, you'll need a top hat and kneepads. But Passional Boutique can hook you up with a silk corset and some of their lacy ruffle tanga shorts. Super freaky. 704 S. Fifth St., 215-829-4986, passional.net.
