Cold Turkey
So, I’m posting this video cuz it was like the best dance I saw all weekend. Here’s Mira Sorvino, Lisa Kudrow and Alan Cumming serving up some sweet interpretive dance to “Time After Time” in the final moments of the great Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion.
Say Anything
C.C. would like to thank Joe’s Pub and the Public Theater for reaching out and offering us tix to a “blogger friendly performance” of Mike Daisey’s “If You See Something Say Something.” This is great news for bloggers and another example of a trend of performance venues offering press tickets to bloggers. The deal is [...]
Clive Barnes (1927-2008)
This just in from the New York Times. Here is the only review of Clive Barnes that C.C. covered, mainly because we pretty much ignore the NYP.
Proposition 8 Remainders: All this backlash is giving me whiplash
So… First, Proposition 8 passed and there was a wave of gay-friendly outrage, most of which was aimed at the Mormon church, and some of which was, apparently, leveled at the African American community.

If this election cycle has had any single theme that has dominated all possible themes, it was without a doubt: CHANGE. Not only did Barack Obama’s campaign coin it and stick to it, but John McCain’s campaign co-opted it in an effort to portray the McCain/Palin ticket as the real agents of change. It is [...]
WHY I AM NOT devastated by Proposition 8, and why Tuesday is a step forward
Some of you may not know that during the recent campaign cycle, I was actively involved in doing whatever I could (although, I still probably could have done more) to convince people around me to support gay marriage by signing online petitions and by donating money to the Human Rights Campaign, one of the nation’s [...]
I Want My C.C. …
Hey peeps- I know posts have been few and far between. A number of factors have contributed to the slow down (but why should you suffer, I know!). I’m hoping that once the election’s over, C.C. can donate more of her time to writing than to stressing out and doing laps around the circuit of [...]
