Life On The Farm...RIP Buck Buck :(
One of my favorite things to do as a resident of New York City is get the hell out of it when I can. Don’t get me wrong, I love NYC and have made a somewhat successful life for myself there so far. But after a while I will begin to experience brain-melt, like being overly exposed to a cranky toddler or Full House reruns.
I’m lucky, because I have an...

Flying...I Prefer Not To, Thanks.
What’s not to love about flying?
Umm, basically everything.
Let’s face it, unless you’re ticketed in first class on Virgin Atlantic, where you get a free MASSAGE during the flight, it’s pretty much going to suck. Depressing coach class cabins crammed with disgruntled people vying for every last bit of overhead bin space, fridgid blasts of AC even in the dead of winter, and getting...

One Year In The Scissorhood
In an age of mildly talented, flash-in-the-pan pop acts that come and go at lighting speed, it’s a rare thing to find one that sticks. One that crosses continents and teeters between super rockstar status and cult-esque underground alt-pop club status, depending on the country. A band so laced with stylistic versatility that you could call it dance, or funk/rock/glam, retro/new wave, or pop with a...
And The Bus Rolls On.....
The vibe on the tour bus this morning is something along the lines of “office hours”, coupled with “headphone listening party”. As we leave Toronto behind and approach the U.S./Canadian border, bound for Buffalo (home of Rick James, bitch), laptops are fired up, phones are buzzing with texts, and papers are strewn about. Some of us are attacking the monster that is taxes, some are editing music...

Day Tripping Around Japan...
It’s a gorgeous morning in Osaka, as we begin to roll out of town on the high speed train, bound for Tokyo. Mostly cloudy, with the occasional sunbeam slicing through, and mist hovering over the lush green hills in the distance. The tenement houses near the tracks balance out the natural beauty behind them, the dusty architecture of modernism sits next to structures and temples from ages long ago....

WatchA walk around London, Scissor Sisters tour, 2010
This is a true story that took place in Wimbledon...
This is a real conversation that took place in front of the house my mother was born in, outside London in Wimbledon. I stopped a woman on the sidewalk to ask if there was a public restroom nearby. What happened next will stay in my heart forever. To the best of my memory, the conversation went like this:
Me: “Excuse me, is there a public restroom in the Common?”
Gail: “What’s that,...
A Paris night with Tanya, Adventures in Taxi Cabs,...
I’m going to write this journal entry in three parts.
Part one: Last night in Paris with Tanya Michelle…
Ok, anyone who knows Tanya will nod in vigorous agreement with me when I say that she is one of the most glorious, loving, hilarious, open, and talented people that you will ever meet. Her spirit is even bigger and brighter than her 10,000-watt smile, if you can believe it. When I met Tanya,...
On the fun end of the Scissor blade....
The last time I was in Paris I was 17, and all I could think about was how I could go to a bar, order a drink, and expect to be served! I was seething at the chance for legal defiance, what more could a frustrated teen dream of??? This afternoon, walking over a cobblestone bridge across La Seine, the Eiffel Tower caught my eye…and I thought of that starry-eyed high school trip again, how it...

Heading out on tour with the Scissor Sisters
“I don’t feel like dancin’, no sir, no dancin’ today!”
A few years ago someone sent me a link where I could put my face and the face of someone else on two disco dancing bodies that were busting out some slick moves to the tune of this very catchy song by a band that I had never heard of. And I was instantly hooked. I don’t know if it was the enticing...
