Beautiful Breasts Cause Controversy in Atlanta
Does the man or woman exist who doesn’t think that breasts are beautiful – in the abstract, or in person? You may like them small and perky, or pear-shaped and voluptuous. Perhaps you prefer them natural, or go ga-ga over ecstatically enhanced E’s. Certainly, in the privacy of our homes (or a French beach?), gazing […]
Essentials: Anything Goes in the Name of Art?
Health + Family + Relationship + Work. Essential to a good life, don’t you think? Of course, you may wish to rearrange the sequence to reflect your circumstances or values. Some of you may add in “faith” or spiritual inclination. As for myself, I would include a roof overhead and food on the table, without […]

Work of Art Finale: The Morning After
We sneered. We jeered. We cheered. No, it wasn’t a sporting event. It was Reality TV – with fourteen artists at the starting line, three down to the wire, and one who took home the prize. Who would have thought that Work of Art would spark so much interest? Who would have imagined that Abdi […]
Work of Art Finale: Abdi wins!
Paint me surprised. And impressed. And surprised. But more on my thoughts – and why – tomorrow. For now, I’m much too aware of my duo of martinis, enjoyed while watching the show. And I’d like to know what you think of Season 1’s winner on Work of Art. You got it! Abdi comes from […]
