Madame X vibes last night at @clubfugazisf for preview show 11 of “#DearSanFrancisco,” a high-flying love letter to the #CitybytheBay by @the7fingers, an awesome international troupe full of stars. @madonna’s “#MadameXTour” was the last show we enjoyed pre-COVID. How appropriate to get back to it with this performance, a celebration of dance, gymnastics, and human […]

Steamy, Steamy
Boy, does it get kinda hot – downright balmy…and humid… – after a bomb cyclone. That was a first, mind you. One of the topics of conversation whenever on the phone with someone back home has always been the weather. Smooth and easy, that topic. Like buttah. And I feel like, maybe, that’s a fairly […]
5cream Again
Oh wow. It has been 10 years since the last time movie audiences around the world saw OG Screamers Never Campbell, David Arquette, and Courteney Cox together again and fighting for their lives up on the big screen in Scream 4…not to mention, 25 years since director Wes Craven delivered the first and seminal Kevin […]
This Is the Last Time
This is the last time I beat myself up. The last time I knew a group of people, it fizzled because time ran out (the time before because I ran out…ish – another story, another time…or not). So I went away to reset unto an unknown time. People wondered where and how I’d be. I […]
MMXXIami: The Playlist
Just the other day I was out in MMXXIami, having a daydream of Hollywood – of Hollywood, Fla. Of a chill place I’m calling Hollyweed. I saw green. I thought of hemp, hospitality, and mixology. Of possibility. Then, I woke up the boss of my reality and kept hoping. I just kept hoping. If Madonna […]
The Thing About ‘The Happening’
The thing about the happening, meaning COVID-19, our very own IRL happening, is it happened (it’s been happening). And shortly thereafter, America pulled out of Afghanistan. Good thing, for now we can call upon and welcome our military home, and task them with helping us to strengthen our communities rather than fortifying our fronteras. Up […]
Of goop and Me(n)
I listen to The goop Podcast, when I need to nurture my feminine side. Whoomp, there it is. And I gotta say, the recent conversation between Gwyneth Paltrow and Gabrielle Union was such a “J’ai eu un flash” moment. Union spoke to so much to which I could relate. And it helped, simply listening to […]
A Postcard of the Red Tide
What a lovely white-sand beach Indian Rocks Beach near Tampa, Fla., is. Sunrise to sunset, so lovely, indeed, this Gulf beach. How striking, too, to wade in its waters early one morn’, and feel nothing but warmth. A sticky, warm water, this Gulf water. Oh, but what’s that? A baby shark! (Doo doo doo doo […]
MMXXIami
Miami, Miami. It struck me, Miami, this last time we visited. The cycle and the churn of the Magic City. And how a small seed can become something big out there. The amount of “Yes” I saw. It has gotten so international. It now feels like a global duty free. And the humidity is the […]
The Time to Modulate Is Right Now
Inform yourself, calibrate yourself. Modulate. Cut back on your meat consumption, because it works. Like, it won’t save the planet – Earth doesn’t need our “saving,” for its plan we cannot even fathom – but cutting back on meat is one of the healthiest choices we can make at this point in the game, for […]
