    My friend Alexandra Forman is an incredibly talented artist and makeup artist. Since 2014, she has made a habit of unveiling extraordinary Halloween makeup during the last week of October. I was impressed from the get go, but with tonight’s reveal (the last photo) she blew me out of the water and I had to share. Here…

  • Summer at Tiffany by Marjorie Hart

    After a disappointing erotic romance and a 520-page French classic, this light-hearted memoir of a charmed summer in 1945 New York was exactly what I needed. The first women to ever be employed as pages at Tiffany’s, Marjorie and Marty spent four short months living the dream (on a strict budget of $20 a week, of…

  • The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas

    Like most things in my life, my love for Dumas’ famous musketeers stems from a Disney movie. Starring the thespian talents of Kiefer Sutherland (Lordy, that voice), Oliver Platt, Charlie Sheen (long before he had tiger blood coursing through his veins), and the hunka hunka burnin’ love that was a twenty-three-year-old Chris O’Donnell as D’Artagnan, the 1993 version…

  • Man Down trailer

    I don’t know if you know this, but I love Shia LaBeouf. And I love war movies and psychological thrillers. I cannot wait to see this.

  • Ask for It by Sylvia Day

    You know, it’s not often that I don’t like a good romance—especially one that’s fraught with peril, intrigue, strife, and steam—but this “erotic romance” novel (as it is branded on the cover) just did not measure up. Maybe it’s because I’ve read a tonne of Sandra Brown novels (Hey Zeus! that woman can spin a sexy…

  • Blowin’ in the Wind by Scott Hoying

    An incredible rendition of Blowin’ in the Wind by Scott Hoying (of Pentatonix), Julia Harriman, and Mario Jose. How many roads must a man walk down Before you call him a man? Yes, ‘n’ how many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand? Yes, ‘n’ how many times must the…

  • Shia LaBeouf by Rob Cantor

    This is just too fantastic for words. And then, when I thought it couldn’t get any better, I found an animation by Kyler Ramos that is also too fantastic.

  • Quoted: The Three Musketeers

    D’Artagnan, the original playa: Do not depend upon me, madame, for the next meeting; since my convalescence I have so many affairs of this kind on my hands, that I am forced to regulate them a little. When your turn comes, I shall have the honour to inform you of it. I kiss your hands.…
