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…
Back in my pre-internet youth, I’d take the covered wagon to pick up the newest Sears catalog (What men’s underwear ads? I read it for the articles) or Tiger Beat magazine to find out about new books. Young adult novels with rainbow representation were nonexistent (that’s why David Levithan and Adam Silvera’s work is so…
I got introduced to Adam Silvera when I discovered his book “They Both Die At The End” and became an instant fan. My fandom continued with his book “The First To Die At The End” which is the sequel prequel in his Death Cast universe (Where people are called on the day they’re going to…
I, like the majority of people, first became aware of Bob The Drag Queen when he won season eight of Rupaul’s Drag Race. However, I fell in love with Bob on the HBO series We’re Here where his empathy, intelligence and humor really shined and continues to shine in his new novel “Harriet Tubman: Live…
Last week, after four years of being a fan, I finally got to meet Chloe Moriondo at an album release event at the music store Rough Trade in New York City where they performed four acoustic songs (three off their new album and one of their classics), signed copies of their new album “oyster” and…
