Chelsea Gallery Robbed… David Thorne to the Rescue

Art in America just published a report that a Chelsea gallery had a Steven Parrino drawing of a tarantula stolen off its walls yesterday afternoon. This is tragic. Immediately, I knew the man with the perfect solution: David Thorne. You may remember David Thorne as the man who tried to pay his rent

Need a good cry?

I can help! Here are 7 of my favorite tear-jerking videos, complete with some of the most overwrought pop stars alive! In no particular order…   7. The Dubai Fountain: This one is pretty innocuous, but I’m a sucker for African choirs.  (30 seconds into the stage version of Lion King, I was toast.) T

Blood is thicker than…

Sent to me by my aunt this evening… This place is a dream.  Only a sleeper considers it real. . . We began as a mineral. We emerged into plant life and into the animal state, and then into being human, and always we have forgotten our former states, except in early spring when we [...]

Plays well with others

Sometimes, I can’t help but get frustrated by the in-fighting and territorial claims in the art world. This comes to mind: “He drew a circle that shut me out- Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout. But love and I had the wit to win: We drew a circle and took him In!” Artists & arts [...]

Cosmo-mystery

I’ve started receiving Cosmopolitan Magazine in the mail. Why? I have no idea.  I stopped reading Cosmo when I was 19.  It’s got my name on it, as well as my address.  But really, who’s playing a joke?  When the New Yorker and Cosmo come in the same day’s mail, it must look like I’m [...]

Just add levity

I’m failing as a blogger. I never took to journaling the old-fashioned way, but once upon a time, I regularly updated my MySpace blog.  Then, MySpace gave way to Blogger… which I eventually abandoned for WordPress with no remorse when a more tech-savvy blogger emphatically asserted I was missing the

Vote of confidence

I have an admission: I’ve been apathetic about politics for a long time.  I have wavering faith in my ability to influence any real change.  I have wavering faith in the media to provide me with objective, unbiased feedback on our candidates and leaders.  I am turned off by all the mud-slinging and

Cabaret Revisited

After reading responses to the recent production of Cabaret on the TUTS blog, I was inspired to write about audience expectations and propriety in the theatre on my Chron blog here.  But I hadn’t seen the show yet… Now I have.  And though I know plenty could live out their days without hearing my op

Don’t Tell Mama, but Cabaret’s Dirty!

Am I just desensitized or is this a bunch of hoo-hah? TUTS’ Attendee Responses to Cabaret Maybe I’m just a dirty girl, but what is all the fuss about? Houston- strip-club capital of Texas! So I wrote THIS. Tria Wood aptly pointed out that a tour of the Mendes version came to Houston in 2000. [...]
