I was expecting better. The movie clocks in just over two hours but feels longer, never a good sign. "Hollywoodland" (what the Hollywood sign said before losing "land") . . .

Let me get a few things out in the open; I am a true blue feminist and I LOVE FASHION. I love the history of fashion. I love the politics of fashion. Most of all I love the marriage of . . .

Before there was Paris Hilton, there was Marie Antoinette. She was a woman known for her beauty, style, partying, and passion for sweet things…like cake.

Hands down, this book is the best I have ever read about conjoined twins! Katherine Dunn’s ‘Geek Love’ still has my heart for the best fictional book about sideshow freaks, but . . .

Age IS just a number. Like all numbers, you can add it, subtract it, multiply it, and even divide it…as in divide it by the age of the women who share your bed.
As a feminist and . . .

Before I came to Gather I had never posted any of my stories on the Internet. I was advised that I needed to start networking and get my work out in the public eye. I had tried to post a story, . . .

Actually, the company wasn’t just good, it was excellent. This book fires on all cylinders. The characters are interesting, Sarah Dunant’s writing is wonderful, and the plot is . . .

Liz G. of ‘Team Gather’ fame cannot say that I did not warn her. When asked by e-mail if I would review Terry Shaw’s ‘The Way Life Should Be’, winner of the ‘First . . .

Few things would have been less appealing than being proposed marriage by Henry XIII, especially if you are to be his sixth wife and few years before wife number five lost her head. ‘The Last . . .

I'm not a very musical person. I can't play an instrument, I definitely can't sing (think surgery without the benefit of anesthesia) and I couldn't tell you the finer points of musical . . .

It won’t go down as a great movie, but it isn’t bad. I think the main problem was that its flaws stick out like a boil on your backside. Scarlett Johansson is Annie Braddock, a . . .

This movie is "Romeo and Juliet" meets magic. I liked it enough to say that when it eventually hits cable I will watch it again. It is a chick flick, but it is done intelligently . . .

Romanticism isn’t really my thing, but I do enjoy historic novels and if they occasionally come in the form of romance then okay. ‘Through a Glass Darkly’ by Karleen Koen is an . . .
