‘Brer Rabbit’ returns with gay director at helm
When openly gay actor Spencer G. Stephens was approached about directing “Brer Rabbit & Friends” at the Center for Puppetry Arts, he wasn’t sure how to react. Yet it didn’t take him long to say an enthusiastic “yes” to the project. As part of the acting ensemble of the last two versions of the show at the company, in 2005 and in 2008, Stephens feels his experience was one reason he was asked to helm the current take, even though he had never directed before. “I know the structure, how the show should be done,” he says. >>

Food Porn #22: Dim sum andbig discussions
The time had come. Robert was feeling afflicted with what he described to his therapist as “the mental disorder of falling in love.” He and Lee had been seeing one another for several months now, but Lee was still mysterious. They’d never had sex, even though the romantic vibe had turned into a drumbeat, at least for Robert. It was time to have the discussion about where they were headed. He dreaded it and picked Canton House on Buford Highway for the discussion. He made an excuse to meet in separate cars, in case things went badly. While waiting… >>

Wedding ring trends include black diamonds, return to precious metals
In the 25 years I have been involved in the jewelry business, I have seen the world of “commitment” bands grow from rainbow colored rings to high tech industrial looks to great classics both with and without stones. But my favorite evolution in the “commitment” category is seeing couples proud to walk into a jewelry store and pick out the rings that show their love for each other. Two decades ago, while running a mall jewelry store, I would notice an individual shopping for bands and note their preferences on a business card. I then realized a different person (the partner… >>

Are y’all ready for season 2 of Rough & Buff R&B Divas ? Yes Gawd Hunty! After all the mess that has been going on around town I am. Bae-Bae, R&B Divas season one was ok, but my woman’s intuition is telling me that season 2 is going to be so much better.

They say it ain’t trickin if you got it. For those of y’all that think ho’n is a new profession, think again. Some women have been walking the street from the beginning of time. I wonder if ho’n is hereditary. I can think of a few people I know that may have a lil street walker in their blood. Chile, one thing I will say is the ladies of the night from the early 1900′s were jazzy hunty. In the early 1900′s. Photographer E. J. Bellocq, took pictures of prostitutes in New Orleans infamous Storyville district. In today’s time, we… >>
