It’s party time, well, it would be if I were ten years younger, there wasn’t a recession and I didn’t have responsibilities. Okay, granted at such events the kitchen has always been my chosen destination. And what’s not to like? Food, beer and a place to sit. And let’s be honest, there are few who [...]
From 1979’s “Love at First Bite.” Note: As I understand it, the DVD replaces the original Alicia Bridges recording of “I Love the Night Life” with some generic music for the usual ridiculous legal reasons. Enjoy this version while and where you can.
I first became familiar with actress Susan Saint James when I saw her in the 1968 film, Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows , which also starred Rosalind Russell and Stella Stevens. I loved the scene where she and another girl drove a bus through a car wash with its windows down, causing it to fill up with suds. To a seven-year-old, this was pure comedy gold. It wasn't until I began tuning in to TV's...
Every now and then I randomly search a musician who appears on my playlist to see if they're LGBT in any way and can be put up here. This is what doing this feature for over two years does to someone. Usually I don't find anything, so imagine how pleasantly surprised I was to find out Alicia "I Love the Nightlife" Bridges is a lesbian. (I know, I know, I'm probably just behind the times.)...

The Met's much-hyped "Model as Muse" exhibit opens with a life-sized mannequin in Dior holding Dovima's place in front of two posterboard elephants. It's fashion as ticky-tacky natural history... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
What should the "American Idol" top seven sing for Disco Week? "Idol" expert Jim Cantiello offers his dance-worthy suggestions — including songs from the past decade!
Alicia Bridges – Body Heat This is flying straight to the top of my camp and somewhat cheesy but still totally working on the dancefloor disco/rock crossover chart at the moment. Alicia Bridges of I Love the Nightlife fame sleazily extolls the virtues of good old fashioned promiscuity as a means of dispelling the night time chill. Lots to love (for me at least) in this tune, but noteworthy as...
I don't have an iPhone, or iTunes. iAnything. When I'm faux-jaying at a friend's place, the thing that always annoys me about iPod-havers is that they seem to have lots of songs, but few albums. I don't have the patience to make or review playlists, when I just really want to play all of Armed Forces , okay? So glancing at the 'Artists' on a iPod isn't a decent measure of musicool. I'm a full album...
It's not easy being a modern man. You try to be a good male feminist by promoting a woman candidate to be the first female President, until all the women you know start telling you that it is the MALE candidate who is better at understanding the needs of American women. What next? A male [...]
