You guys, this band called Kuinka (formerly Rabbit Wilde) will be at
Brighton Music Hall (formerly Harpers Ferry) on Saturday night. I,
Michelle DiPoala (formerly Lexi Kahn), might go.

You Guys, Neil Simon Died
My college drama club did the female Odd Couple . My role was, as always, backstage, as I have zero talent and don't like when people look at me. I was drama club co-chair and stage-managed most shows. I love dressing a show! Even though my 5-member crew had no "on stage" roles, we did get applause...may I boast...? I hate to boast, but I loved this soooo much...here's what we did.🎥 The Challenge
In our theatre we had no curt…
#AskForTheButter
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip was a solid show. It was on during a dark period in my life when every TV show that I loved was getting canceled. I made a list at the time, it's probably in the old blog archives. Studio 60 was Aaron Sorkin's first project post- West Wing , so it had a lot of the Aaron Sorkin players, and the overall look of the show (cameras, lights, titles) was very West Wing . Studio 60 was funny and smart. So of course it …

“Amazing. So after Trump’s public praise of Vladimir Putin, his attorney general’s meetings with Russians, his campaign chairman’s money laundering, his deputy campaign chairman’s tax fraud, his personal fixer’s secret shell company, his national security adviser’s lies to the FBI, his son’s attempt to get dirt from a foreign adversary and his son-in-law’s secret back channels with that adversary, the person who could end up taking down the pres…
I just said a sentence that ended with...
"...from Christ the Redeemer to the nuns, including the elf. Thank you, baby."
Good Boy Kitty
This morning I was out on the porch having my coffee. Next door, Lili was also out on her porch having her coffee, and I saw her big gray cat saunter over and sit next to her. Lili patted his head and stroked him between his good boy ears, and good boy kitty rubbed his good boy head against her. Such a lovely, soothing and sweet sight to see on an otherwise fraught summer morning in the city; what a good boy kitty.
I don't know that gray ca…
Louie
I've always been enchanted by the idea of a Frog Prince. Louie is the second creation in a new family of dolls that I'm calling Royal Street, built on a baby onesie just like Geoffrey (whose tummy and belly button ring you can see in the background here). Louie is made from neckties mostly, head and hands from a soft white baby blanket I found at the thrift store and used like a bolt of fabric. Geoffry's also made of the same fabric…
Geoffrey Boy
Don't you love the way big birds strut around? I'm making some little birds too, of course, the kind that look like if they come alive, they'd hop about like chirpy little city birds. But when you look at a guy like Geoffrey here...well, when you're this proud a bird, one simply does not hop . Geoffrey Boy's got a strut . He is the first creation in a new family of dolls that I'm calling Royal Street.
I'm a Blogger On My Mother's Side? My Baby Book
We do not have your typical mother-daughter relationship, JoAnna and I, to say the least. If I tell most people even one thing about my mom, they think I must be making her up. Like my weird and awesome imaginary friend. But she's real! What we lack in tradition, we certainly make up for in...well I don't have a word for it yet. Take today's realization, okay? You guys will get a kick out of this. This is bananaballz. And this could…

Admiral Jackson: Let's All Take A Beat
About these allegations against Admiral Jackson. This is a puzzling story. I smell a rat. Something is off about this whole thing. First of all, these salacious stories about Admiral Jackson's history of excessive drinking and rage-fueled abusive rants are just rumors, at this point. That's the word missing from this national gossip train. I'm disappointed and pissed at the media furor that's treating this like it is all fact. May…
