Befuddled By Porn: Lauren Weedman’s Confusion Over Air-brushed Barbie Bods

  Lauren Weedman and I recently completed our first creative collaboration. I wrote this memoir, called Love Junkie. It came out a few years ago. Lauren, who’s a hysterical, hyper-talented writer/actress/comedienne, read the book for an audio version. I gave direction. I’ve been a fan of Lauren’s for years — ever since she popped up […]

JUICE Up Your Writing! UNZIP That Cash Flow! SPICE Up Your Life!

  Be Mine. Will you? Silky kisses, dollops of rich chocolate, musky-scented roses. It’s that time. Can you feel it? The whisper of stockinged thighs, jewels catching fire in candlelight. February is the month to celebrate love, sex, romance, relationships. Right? OR Is it slammed doors, tears tracking mascara-mud on cheeks, a quiet phone. Shots of […]

Enter The Realm Of The Senses To Find Success: Congratulations to Winner Carol Steinberg!

Carol Steinberg painted her sensual experience. Then she posed this question: “Can you feel the papery translucent skin, smell/taste the onion, hear the brush strokes?” I do.

SuperSex Sunday! Forget the SuperBowl. Time to Ignite Your Erotic!

Rome, Italy. Circa late 80s. Me with my teased-up hair and parachute pants; Fiammetta, my striking and nihilistic Italian blonde Sophia Loren lookalike friend; Bronnie, the Brooklyn-bred wildchild who speaks not a word of Italian; and Santino, a lithe and sexy Argentinean man — striding through the cobbled streets of Rome. It’s that liminal time […]

Lessons From A Pimp-Turned-Portrait Painter and The Birth Of Above The Hum!

Dear Fiery Writers, Entrepreneurs and other Fabulous Friends, So I’m on a plane. Usually I don’t talk to whomever’s sitting next to me. Do you? If they’re boring, you’re stuck for hours.

The Trouble With Trivets…OR…My Bad Date With Business

It was the mid 70s. “Free Bird” was our Middle School anthem. We gouged the lyrics into the backs of wooden auditorium chairs, on desks, into lockers. We learned how to French kiss.

          I was obsessed with eating a durian. I’d heard about this strange SE Asian fruit, a combination of heaven and hell. It was said to stink like corpses fermenting in a city dump while its flesh tasted like the most delicate tropical custard. This fruit was a delicacy. It was […]
