Shiksa Meets Rabbi

 

I can't tell you how refreshing it is for me to watch something slightly Jewish in rural Wyoming...

So there's that, but then the show's center has chemistry and its periphery slays. Gah! It's good.

Postscript: 

In the same vein, but far deeper, is this gift of a book. I hear my grandmother's voice in Bess Kalb's matrilineal memoir. 

Emergence

 

who knew

who even knew

it was possible

to reach this

to be so

Rise Of The Pissfish

Let there be glitter. Let there be blood.

So fun. So murdery.

These two biznatches got it right.

Work Portraits

 

Irving Penn took these portraits of tradespeople in 1950 and 1951.

Not that long ago, and yet a different world.

Leading Ladies

 

Madame President

Going Slow In The Fast Lane

 

There is genius in this recasting of a traditional heist comedy-- the lead actress is ninety five years old and her partner-in-crime appeared (as an adult) in Shaft in 1971.

There is suspense. There is action. All with a delightful twist!
