The Planner: Things to do this weekend

FRIDAY

All up in your lady business

The vay-jay-jay takes center stage when The Studio@620 puts on Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues. The brutally honest and wickedly funny show puts women on stage to share scary, funny and moving vignettes about what happens "down there." A portion of proceeds benefits Pinellas County's domestic abuse shelter, The Haven. The show is at 7 p.m. Friday at 620 First Ave. S, St. Petersburg, $12, studio620.org.

Pucker up for heart health

The American Heart Association will send out cosmetologists at various spots in St. Petersburg and Tampa, applying lipstick and giving you information on how to stay heart healthy. The Speak Up Stations will be open from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Friday, and at each, a cosmetologist and female heart survivor will be on hand to teach visitors how to advocate for their health. Men who stop by will receive a red carnation with a heart-healthy message they can give to a woman in their life. They will be at:

SunTrust Building, 401 E Jackson St., Tampa

Bank of American Building, 101 E Kennedy Blvd., Tampa

Bayfront Medical Center Main Entrance, 701 Sixth St. S, St. Petersburg
