Barbra

Nina

May 2010 Issue of O: Back Cover


This photo immediately made me think of Nina Simone, especially with the classic, dark eye. It also makes me think of Barbra's classic Egyptian look.

Justice for the Second Great Depression

I am late posting this, but I think everyone far and wide should hear this story. The head of Goldman Sachs is in trouble....lets bring the rest of those houses of ill-repute tumbling to the ground!

The Hemings of Monticello

I am currently reading Annette Gordon Brown's book The Hemings of Monticello. I am so convinced that James Hemings was a homosexual and that Adrien Petit was his lover.

In Homage to President Obama and Nancy Pelosi-Putting It Together

A Historic Moment: Healthcare Reform Becomes a Reality in the United States

I must say that my faith in Obama wavered a bit over the course of this journey, which by no means is completed. However, I am fully allowing myself to celebrate in this moment. Cheers to Nancy Pelosi and to President Obama for their hard work and their dedication. Thanks ever so much for this great beginning!

About Lady Gaga and Beyonce's "Telephone"

I love this video because it speaks on so many different levels. There are elements of Myra Breckenridge there-especially with the costumes(the American Flag costumes most glaringly). There's also the hint of Mae West there, which fits oh so well because Mae was in Myra Breckenridge. This video makes such bold statements on popular culture, interpersonal relationships, the private versus the public and a host of other issues. I think everyone should watch it and talk about it.
