I remember slow dancing to “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday” at a school dance in 7th grade. The boy I was dancing with ended up being gay later. I’m pretty sure Boyz II Men didn’t have anything to do with that though. So if you need a fix of smooth early 90s [...]

I think everyone knows by now that I love novelty items that go on your face. My latest obsession has been with fake moustaches. With a simple moustache change I can become a cowboy, Charlie Chaplin, or according to the man on the package – A Super Star Every Day! Except that moustache doesn’t [...]

Did you know that the word “burlesque” stems from the Latin word “burlare” which means to laugh or make fun of? Or that one of most renowned burlesque acts of the 1800’s was a man named Le Petomane(The Farter)? I’ve been a little persnickety about burlesque lately. It just seems that the acts are [...]

The best road trip that I have ever taken across country was with Carissa when we stopped at two places, Dollywood and Graceland. I’d been to Elvis’ house several times but it was Carissa’s first visit and watching her take photos of everything including the lint in the shag carpet was one of the funniest [...]

Here are my recommendations for where to see the wonderful and amazing Macy’s firework display in NYC this Wednesday.
Find some friends with roof access. If they offer you fried chicken in addition, tell them you will absolutely be there!
Avoid FDR drive like the plague.
Apparently they have some type of party on Roosevelt Island? You can [...]
