From the guy who complained throughout the election that we are failures because we tell our enemies what we are going to do.

This is like $5 to Depp. He’s after publicity.

I’m not sure what part of the festivities the Rockettes will grace, but what I dread is learning of the solemn part being bastardized, the ceremonies and artistic contributions centered around the oath of office. For comparison, Kennedy had Marion Anderson singing, an orchestrated work by Leonard Bernstein and Robert…

I like Schramsberg Blanc de Noirs. About $30. Very solid, dependable.

Yes, this is lovely.

Can’t you find a tiny bit of room for Nico Hines of the Daily Beast on your list? The straight writer who thought it would be a chuckle to infiltrate the Olympics and write about gay athletes who responded to dishonest ads he placed on grinder? Carelessly exposing athletes who come from nationalities which harshly…

At thrift stores there are almost always huge burial grounds for stupid and expensive wine equipment. $50 battery operated corkscrews and the like, that I assume were romantic gifts and were more trouble than they are worth. The best way to open a bottle of wine is with a standard waiter’s corkscrew which should…

Is that really how you respond to a story about a guy who attempts suicide 7 times, including once, by trying to break his neck by diving from a sink?

With all our cheetos and small hands jive, we turn him into a buffoon, and slightly a figure of fun.  It’s subtly beguiling. He’s as funny as torture, poverty, or war.

No, it’s not just a beautiful voice, it is the musical expertise to perform extremely demanding scores, as they are written. Great singers are first musicians, the greatest could likely direct an orchestra. They spend years in strenuous training, meeting challenges, testing themselves, learning from fellow musicians…

Don’t worry, we still get Jackie Evancho. Anybody consider the Harlem Boys Choir?

#5!!! My long lost twin brother!

I used to think he was the good looking Kardashian.

About Face is a fascinating document. It’s full of interviews of thoughtful women who have lead lives of challenge, invention and innovation. All of them speak deeply about fashion, appearance and reality, history, the meaning of beauty. Instead of being vacuous, there’s a depth of responsibility and wisdom among…

Patent thigh boots at the beach, I call that really living!

If you’ve never been in a private face to face encounter with a Zen master, it goes a lot like this, only he rings a little bell, to throw you out, much quicker.

Always pay your tailor or you might be forced to come up with a symbolic reason for why your dress is sewn to two other dresses. The looks and the moves that came with them, weren’t even clean, but awkward, and distracted from the simple power and drama of the music.

If they were poverty stricken or homeless, they would have spent a year or three in jail, awaiting a trial, represented by a court appointed attorney.

Will I someday be homeless and have my blankets taken away?

Close, but no parm either.
