In my darkest days, music has always been the light at the end of the tunnel. My divas always know the right thing to sing and brightened my spirits in concert. This year a few of my old-school divas put out albums and I had time to discover some new-to-me divas. This year wasn’t the…
I’m a cord cutter, not by choice, that’s what happens when you marry a geek. There’s a whole lot of technology going on in our house that I don’t understand. I have to tell the Alexa to turn on lights (if she listens), I have apps on my phone (somewhere) to see if our garage…
On Black Friday some people decide to become early holiday gift getters, others are bargain shoppers, and some become so overcome with the holiday spirit that they morph into mall tight-ends who will tackle a 90 year old grandmother to score the most desired toy of the holiday season for their even more obnoxious brats…
Lani Renaldo is a new-to-me diva. Over the past few years, she’s released two EP’s, cultivating her own unique sound and style. Not only that, but she performs, writes and produces it all herself. Props to anyone that has that much ability and talent. Lani’s first EP, Fake Happy, has the young-adult relationship drama of…
This year many of my favorite performers decided that less is more when it comes to musical gift giving, there were no holiday albums (closest was a four-track EP from Tori Amos) to be had, just singles. Not a lot of music but a fair share of divas; quality over quantity, I guess. Tori Amos‘…
I’ve been wearing eyeglasses since middle school, in a time before the internet, when dinosaurs roamed the earth and Charo sailed the high seas on The Love Boat before she discovered America. I would get my glasses made where I had my eye exams and bent over to pay whatever exorbitant amount of money they…
Gays come in different colors, shapes and sizes. However one common bond we Cher seems to be our love affair with divas. Every gay seems to have one (or in my case, an army) they will follow to the ends of the Earth. Kylie Minogue has reached gay icon status with rabid fans worshiping at…
In honor of the scariest month of the year, I thought I would make this post as scary as it gets, I would review a full-on country EP. Not only a full-on country EP but a full-on country EP by a male artist. Have I finally had a break with reality? Have I given up…
I hope with an album title like They Never Leave Their Wives, you weren’t planning to listen while relaxing in the bath tub with candles lit and a glass of chardonnay, unless you were planing on throwing a toaster in with you. Staying on brand, Maria Mena’s new album is just as full of angst…
Since the beginning of time there have been arch-nemesises. Cleopatra had Octavian. Superman fought Lex Luthor. Debbie Gibson and Tiffany battled for the Pop Princess throne. I, however, had survived all these decades peacefully until my nemesis moved in, not next door but under my deck. Meet the epitome of evil, at least in my…
