Hey girl, you’re so pretty you could be on reality TV. And now, here’s your chance: Cornwell Casting will be in town on Thursday and we’ve got tips, details and advice from the man, himself – Jason Cornwell – who is handling the whole rodeo. We know what he’s looking…
Gay Video & Lesbian Movies – Logo: Fierce TVScene 1: Don’t-Call-Him-Crazy James is lounging poolside, and up walks the blond mensch of a side character, Brayden, rocking an outfit that might be sold at Chico’s in 2048. James makes fun of Bray-Bray’s get-up, comparing him unfavorably to Joan Rivers. But…
Comedian is seemingly too simple of a label for the multi-talented Larry Miller. But when you examine the veteran scene-stealer’s creative offerings, Comedian is perhaps the most appropriately broad title for him outside of Restless Artist. Whether it’s his well-followed podcast endeavors, his classic stand-up routines, his memorable roles in…
The new rock-and-roll musical is called On the Eve. Actor Michael Federico wrote it with his friends Seth and Shawn Magill, the husband-and-wife team who head up East Dallas band Home by Hovercraft. It’s about Marie Antoinette, sort of, and you can see its debut, in a pay-what-you-can staged reading,…
Heard a story once about Niccolo Paginini, the Italian violin prodigy who suffered from a grab-bag of maladies, that when his teeth began to fall out he’d use violin strings to hold them together. The point: there is no musician more epic than a dedicated violinist. So, to those who’re…
The piece is called Lake Austin Motel, Room 133. But as soon as I hear the title, I think of Lake Austin Spa Resort. I imagine the reclining figure is taking a much needed break after taking Nia classes and kayaking in the lake all day long. The black and…
Photographer Mike Brooks was busy on Saturday night. Beginning at the magical photography hour known to us humans as “sunset,” Mike found the Shut Up and Rumble skateboard demo at Overground Skate Park. From there, it was Octopus Project, and then Art Con 7 in Oak Cliff with Jason Roberts…
“Who are you wearing?” was the first thing I heard as I stepped into the pre-dinner reception at the Sheraton Dallas. “Betsey Johnson,” I said to the inquirer. I love events full of gay men. The annual Black Tie Dinner is certainly one of those events. Not that there isn’t…
Name: Steven Wallace, 27 Occupation: Photographer Location: Dallas Contemporary Style Breakdown: “Lacoste shoes, Levi’s jeans, Artful Dodger hoodie, Michael Kors watch, a hippie gave me the bracelet.” Influences: “My emotions, how I’m feeling determines the colors I wear.”…
Back in March, Elaine had a Giant announcement on Unfair Park: The full Dallas Theater Center’s lineup from artistic director Kevin Moriarty, which included the Michael John LaChiusa musical Giant (based on the book by Sybille Pearson). Well, another Insert-Huge-Adjective-Here announcement just-in-the-in-box: (h/t Robert) The DTC’s officially announced the cast…
Beginning at the Grassy Knoll, which is always the best place to begin something, a hundred-or-so fancy pants guys and gals biked through downtown and historic Oak Cliff yesterday. It was the third annual Tweed Bike ride, and it may or may not explain why this author nearly plowed through…
On Saturday night, the inside perimeter of a sweeping gray West Dallas warehouse building at 511 West Commerce Street was temporary tiled with rows of square works of art — all the same size (18×18 inch square boards) and all created locally, but each incredibly unique, from a colorful woman…
Have a buck? You could see a play tonight. And a good one at that. The Ochre House theater, Matthew Posey’s hothouse of experimental work, is doing a pay-what-you-can performance of its latest, Ex Voto: The Immaculate Conceptions of Frida Kahlo. Actress Elizabeth Evans, looking eerily like the artist, plays…
You may remember him from his aborted run for the 2008 Libertarian presidential nomination, from his fight-provoking confrontational 2004 Austin set when he followed the political bombast of Alex Jones or from the riots that occasionally ensue at his shows when he touches a particularly sensitive nerve in his audiences…
Got a wall in your house that’s desperate for a piece of art? This is the weekend to buy a painting, or at least stare at lots of art if you’ve already blown your budget on commemorative Nolan Ryan signed baseballs. If you haven’t seen the latest exhibition at Kettle…
We really want to know how Misty Keasler came across a Hello Kitty S&M Room at a Japanese Love Hotel in Osaka. Luckily, we might actually get a chance to ask on Saturday. Award-winning photographer and globetrotter extraordinaire, Keasler has already been places we didn’t even knew existed, and she…
File this under Things You Don’t See Every Day… At 11:11 a.m (which they did, of course, because it’s 11/11/11), Frank Kent Motor Co., alongside Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price, dropped a 1953 Cadillac–you know, from the air– where it hit the incredible hard surface known as ground. The vintage…
“Action + Half-Naked Men = The Perfect Date Movie” The latest visually striking sword and sandals flick (a la 300) comes from director Tarsem Singh, the same guy who brought us The Cell and The Fall. So, what this means is, good or bad, you know that Immortals is going…
Stephen King’s visit to the former Texas School Book Depository wasn’t morbid, the best-selling author said before Thursday night’s fund-raiser at the Majestic Theatre in downtown Dallas. Instead, he felt “a sense of predestination” while touring The Sixth Floor Museum more than three years ago. Yet his latest book, simply…
Can’t believe it’s that time of year again. Damn Christmas songs are already playing, and discounts on Santa Clause dolls that awkwardly hip-shake to “Holly Jolly Christmas” propping up. There’s better stuff out there, Grandpa. Much cooler stuff. Last year, art director Alexander Flores was down at the Palladium to…
Thought I was obsessed before. After meeting Jean Paul Gaultier and his longtime model and muse Tanel this morning at the Dallas Museum of Art and hearing Gaultier speak about his work, I’m ready to mortgage my house to fill my closets. The U.S. premiere of this international touring exhibition…
If you were anywhere in the vicinity of The Palladium last night, you would have thought that Elvis was in town by the extreme decibel of blood curdling screams. But oh no, the sheer Pallad-emonium was over something else undead; Twilight. The Cast & Music Tour for Twilight: Breaking Dawn…
