I have a new pieces out in this month’s Car and Driver–the nation’s PREMIER automotive magazine–and this month’s Vanity Fair–the nation’s PREMIER…everything magazine. Buy them on the newsstand, or click below to download some really crappy scans (part of my evil plan to make you buy the mags. Bwahahahaha.)
My Visit with Chris Burden
I was recently lucky enough to be given the opportunity to visit the Topanga Canyon studio of artist/provocateur Chris Burden (whose work I happen to love) and tour around his amazing new automated, auto-centric, installation, “Metropolis II”, which led to this piece for Vanity Fair (w/VIDEO!)
My Big Gay Mom Sings!
My Big Gay Mom, Broadway diva extraordinaire Ms. Terri White (Barnum, Finian’s Rainbow, Chicago) will be performing her one-woman cabaret act at Feinstein’s at the Regency on Park Avenue in NYC on three Sunday nights in January. Trust me, this bitch can sing, and the house will sell out. So buy your tickets now.
Justin Bieber in Vanity Fair
JustinBieber is on the cover of the new issue of Vanity Fair. I blame myself (and my niece) based on this piece I did for VF.com way back in April 2010: “Ask an 11 Year-Old: What’s the Deal with Justin Bieber?”
Size DOES Matter
In my role as “Stick Shift”–Vanity Fair‘s online car blogger–I test out a quartet of pret-a-porter GM vehicles in sizes S, M, L, and XL, and come to the conclusion that they resemble nothing so much as Rem Koolhaas’s 90s masterpiece…S,M,L,XL. Find out how.
Glee: The Comic Book
A very strange comic book, from an even stranger comic book series, from an even stranger comic book company, all of which you will really enjoy learning about, by clicking here and going to Vanity Fair.
TV Reality (not Reality TV)
Just in time for your New Year’s resolutions, The Gay Uncle makes a triumphant return to the Chicago Tribune as a voice of reason regarding kids and media consumption. Check out his advice.
Stick Shift’s Top Five
The only unscientific, non-comprehensive, completely subjective automotive top five list that really matters.
DADT Repeal is a Means to an ENDA
The legislative repeal of the dopey Don’t Ask Don’t Tell (DADT) policy is definitely a milestone. But more important is what it may mean for the eventual passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). I try to unpack the marital and martial from the civil, in terms of rights, over at Vanity Fair.
All Glee, All the Time
Glee is on hiatus. But I’m not. Check out my Gay Guide to Glee column at Vanity Fair for exclusive (and often salacious) interviews, videos, events, photos, and off-beat coverage that you won’t find anywhere else.
