Just wrote a really nice sex scene. Many writers have trouble with sex scenes, but I seem to have a flair for them. Making love is like dancing. You can tell a lot about a person by the way they make love. This is also true for characters. My Leah isn't much of a drinker. She doesn't do drugs. She doesn't smoke. So, as Adam Ant song says, "don't drink don't smoke, what do you do?" She isn't...

When I was a youngster, I was a bit of a late bloomer. And by "bit" I certainly mean I was the last one in the door to puberty. In 7th grade, I finally became a woman, or in reality, an already hormonal girl suddenly with a reason to buy feminine products. My older brother had a friend that I had a mad mad crush on. I would always ask my brother about him. He was at our house a lot so I made...

Every Friday, we like to sum up what happened in the week in reality TV. Here's the best, worst and most shocking... Donny Osmond dressed for an 80s paso doble on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars." (Photo by ABC) "Dancing With the Stars" (ABC) Each couple was assigned a Latin dance from a particular decade, like a '70s samba or a '60s jive. Seventies (and eighties) heartthrob Donny...

With two weeks to go until the last dance (let's dance, the last dance!), the remaining five couples pulled out all the stops last night--at least in terms of costuming. Donny Osmond performs an 80s-inspired paso doble on Monday's "Dancing With the Stars." (Photo by ABC) Just take a gander at Donny Osmond as Little Richard/Adam Ant/Michael Jackson. Good luck trying to sleep tonight. Each...

Kill the Old Torture Their Young Written by David Harrower Directed by Kathryn Walsh Presented by Steep Theatre Company Despair and longing are hard to play without become overly precious or slightly histrionic and Harrower tries to present us with an entire community trapped under the weight of both. Portraying the listless malaise of thwarted dreams and unrealized goals while also making us actually...

Last night I went to see drummygirl and the New Royal Family play at the Adam and the Ants convention. (Best overheard: "One year, there was face painting!") I met a man who was wearing a chainmail vest. It weighed 15 kilos and would protect against slashing but not stabbing. I wonder if Smash Hits ever asked Adam Ant how many hit points he had? I also wondered if Adam Ant has ever appeared...

Thought I'd goof around with a little b-day series. In case it's yours! Could be shortlived. Or maybe it'll go on forever. You never know. Hal Hartley , Paprika Steen and Charles Bronson Today's Birthdays, November 3rd ...some of them at any rate. For those who are prone to celebrating the lives of the filmic and famous. And if you aren't, you're not having enough fun. 1921 Charles Bronson had a Death...

& Here are some Ants tracks you probably haven’t heard (unless you’ve known me a long, long while). It’s really a lot easier to understand how I turned out the way I did, what with listening to songs about BDSM and fetishes when I was 14. I think I was reading Joe Orton’s diaries [...]

For her annual Halloween bash, Allison Sarofim brought the eighties downtown scene into her West Village townhouse Friday, walling in her backyard patio with graffiti-scrawled plywood and pumping it full of New Wave dance tunes. There were squadrons of break-dancers, punked-out bartenders, and cigarette girls on hand; the hostess channeled a club-going character named Nefertiti Graffiti in a pharaonic...

Last year around this same time, I ran a picture of Kate Beckinsale trick-or-treating with her daughter, noting that it was kind of adorable. This year, we have pictures of the whole family . That's Beckinsale's husband, and stepfather to her daughter, Len Wiseman, as The Crow. Between you and me, I don't really get the whole "Crow" thing--and if I were an actress, I'd think a long time about...

Kate Beckinsale dressed up a man! Beckinsale dressed up as Adam Ant and husband Len Wiseman as Eric Draven from “The Crow” and daughter Lily on Halloween night in Brentwood. Don’t see much of Beckinsale looking like a man. It’s quite refreshing for a change. I have to say she’s a good looking man. more photo of Kate, [...]
