Frank Gehry turns 81

Frank Gehry turns 81

It's true, one of the most edgy, contemporary American architects recognized world wide as the "cutting edge of modern architecture" just turned 81 on the last day of February.  Does it come as a surprise that this super-modern architect is hardly in his youth anymore, and that this phase of his super contemporary, metal-clad structures which appear to be caught in a highly expressive movement trapped in structure came to him in his 50's and didn't reach serious acclaim until his Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao opened in 1997?&

Pole Dancing Class at S Factor

A friend of mine recently told me about a lap dancing class she took at S Factor. We discussed it for awhile and she asked if I wanted to join her at the Introduction to Pole Dancing at the same spot. I figured I should live a little, so off we went to the S Factor to try it out.

The Quest to be Remembered Well

This Christmas Eve, I tried to be remembered well at the Chelsea Hotel by doing what I do best: reviewing an establishment for Mapcidy. The Chelsea Hotel, or Hotel Chelsea, as it futilely insists it is called, is an 1883-established home and hotel to singers who kill their girlfriends, singers who perform oral sex on other singers and headquarters for the entourage of artists, drink-done in poets and me.
