Miss Dirty Martini

Who’s beautiful? Just a work of art, I really think Dirty Martini is the most beautiful woman in the world. She brings a tear to my eye. During the Sensuous Woman shows, I would speed my way through costume changes just so I could get a glimpse of her every night. She’s so creamy and […]

Jane Lynch

Who is beautiful? Everyone has a list. They come out during the year to much fanfare and applause and it is always the same people, which is fine if you really think Orlando Bloom is gorgeous or you can’t imagine anyone finer than Penelope Cruz. I think all those same people are lovely, and they […]

What is Beauty?

Beauty is something I struggle with all the time, and since I am writing a show about it, I would love to hear what your thoughts are on beauty. Do you feel beautiful? Did you always feel that way? Were you told you were beautiful as a child? Are you told you are beautiful now? […]

Dear Margaret

I am a 34 y.o. male who has had a serious eating disorder for 22 years. I am writing to you because I know you have also suffered from this disease. I am in the process of writing not only about my experiences as a male eating disorder sufferer, but also coming out as gay […]

Beautiful

A DJ asked me, “What if you woke up tomorrow, and you were beautiful? I mean really beautiful. You were 19, blonde, weighed 110 pounds, 5’11” and beautiful. What would you do?” Maybe I mentioned this before. But I can’t let it go. Once a friend was upset about going home. Me: “Why?” Her: “Because […]

Belly Dance

I was dancing when I was eight, I was dancing when I was eight. Is it strange to dance so late? I think I might have stopped dancing when I was eight because my father told me I was fat. After that, you just have a hard time getting yourself off the ground. It was […]

It’s Fashion Week

It is just Fashion Week here in LA, which sounds funny and sad because there is a notion that fashion doesn’t exist here, but oh child, it does, it really does. There is the army of tiny blonde girls with tight, narrow legged bleached out expensive jeans and leather jackets that could have only come […]

The “Fuck It” Diet

I have lost some weight which has set off a strange wave of paranoia among people that I have either had my stomach stapled or shut off with a rubber band, or am on some freaky raw food diet or whatever. What happened was that I was fucking sick and tired of dieting and working […]

Tom Ford

Tom Ford is walking away from Gucci. I am beside myself with grief. Ford and some other dude Domenico De Sole who nobody cares about but is the money side of the famous fashion house are leaving because the shareholders, the Louis Vuitton mafia and the dynamic duo cannot come to an agreement about some […]

Have You Ever Seen…

Have you ever seen an ugly person with a beautiful person? I mean really really really ugly and really really really beautiful. We can let go, for the moment, of the political hot button qualifications of beauty – such as thinness, blondeness, whiteness, youth, as we can ignore the usual ‘seemingly synonymous’ with ugly, like […]
