A few years ago I got hooked on the web series Girl Trash. It was geared to a young “Lip Service†kind of audience who had fallen in love with the dynamic and love struck sterile couple called Spashley on South of Nowhere. I was curious to see what Angela Robinson would do with her just released […]
Every one who meets Jody Cole is dazzled. From the Makuleke women who cook and clean for the EcoTraining camp in Kruger National Park (where we spent a glorious week) to the young twenty-something student back-up guides who accompanied us on our day long treks with their rifles. It’s impossible not to fall a little […]
Every year I make a set of New Year’s resolutions. And here it is December 2013 and as far as I can tell, I did not get taller or thinner. I did not go on an Olivia cruise, read the Diary of Miss Anne Lister, religiously peruse every Epochalips article nor did I watch all of the […]
What was the Casting Director Thinking? I am someone who has been in love with movies of all kinds since the moment I saw Anne Bancroft straddle the bar stool and finger her earring in The Graduate. That same year (1967) the extraordinary film The Fox starring Anne Heywood, Sandy Dennis and Keir Dullea was […]
Diana Nyad has proven that it’s possible to do anything we set our minds on. Diana lives by Mary Oliver’s famous words “What will you do with your one wild and precious life?†When I arrived at Olivia Travel’s week at Club Med Ixtapa a day late, I was horrified to find out that I […]
Okay, ladies. Be honest. You go to see an independent lesbian film because the only thing that matters is the story. Right? Okay, I’ll confess story actually does matter. But, what do we talk about? The Sex Scenes. Was it hot or not? The question should be focused on whether it felt real. Honestly, just […]
The first Fabulosa I attended in 2012 was a chance for me to face my fears. I had heard great things about it, and wanted to go, but none of my friends were up for it. I hemmed and hawed, and even pulled my car over halfway there—almost turning back. But I soldiered on, not […]
Africa has a way of cracking open your heart. I’m struck by the stark contrast between the lives of blacks and whites, even 20 years after Apartheid. The animals in the game reserves are locked behind electric fences. The South African people can’t get out easily either, the Visa process makes international travel prohibitive to […]
Seriously, how are we not talking about the obvious here? This little girl was pimped out by her parents from the time she was a small child. That means that she was robbed of a normal development and all her innocence, under the BEST of circumstances. As someone who worked for 18 years on a […]
I’m headed off on a big trip! Going on an Ecoquest Safari in Africa with Jody Cole. I’m on the bus watching people hugging and kissing at the airport drop off zone. I see an older couple give a perfunctory peck on the lips and I think about the last time they might have shared […]
Hang on, it's going to be a wild ride!
