This past weekend my partner and I made an overnight trip to New York City for the sole purpose of seeing Cat Cohen’s off-Broadway show “Broad Strokes” at the Lucille Lortel Theatre (121 Christopher St.) before it closes Sept 25th. The almost three hundred seat Lucille Lortel Theatre is within blocks of the historical Stonewall…
Recently one of my friends suggested we go to New York City to see a show, usually he does the star-studded Tony Award winners (I don’t know who Tony is) but I prefer off, off Broadway’s indie vibe. He gives me a hard time about my taste so it was time to subject him to…
Today’s the day I’ve been waiting years for, the drop of a new KiKi Holli + The Remedy EP, Something About You. The five-track EP is catchy retro rock like Kiki’s previous EP, Chemical Love; four original songs and a slow-jam cover of “Don’t Change” by INXS. KiKi is remincent of rock chicks like Grace…
“Orange Is The New Black” was my introduction to Laverne Cox. Sure, I love a good sleepover plot line, but not when it’s in a women’s prison, after a few seasons I lost interest. However, my interest in Laverne grew as I saw her doing press and speaking out about trans rights. The trans community…
Beverly Hills 90210 was my go-to show in the 90’s, even now, give me a teen drama any time. If I wasn’t home to watch that week’s episode, I sure as hell had my VCR (yes, I’m that old) set. It holds a special place in my heart because it’s the first show that my sister and…
Do you remember March 2020? Like many, I was stranded at home due to the pandemic but was supposed to be on vacation with my partner in Belgium and Amsterdam. Almost six years to the day, that dream trip finally became reality. We flew non-stop to Amsterdam from Logan Airport in Boston. We took the…
Hey Spotify, you and your Discover Weekly get me. You really, really get me. What kind of diva would beautify herself up to roll around seductively on trash bags in the back of a dump truck? My kind of diva! Breaking news! Chappell Roan and Holiday Sidewinder had a secret love child and she’s no…
It’s almost time to put 2025 to bed so I revisited my Spotify playlist with all my favorite songs from this year’s new album releases. This year’s playlist has quite a bit of moody singer-songwriter goodness and feel free to give it a listen: This year introduced me to a bunch of new artists, with…
This holiday season has been a quiet one. Not much happening on the music front. Just a handful of singles from some of my newest divas. The only long-standing diva I can count on almost every December is Ingrid Michaelson with her newest release, “Song For A Winter’s Night.” A cozy instant classic with Ingrid’s…
Back in August, this story of gratitude, luck and being at the right place at the right time began. I was on my phone at work (what else does one do at work?) when I saw Annie Lennox tickets just went on sale for her two October nights in New York City discussing and signing…
