Emergin’ Virgin

Despite its 24-hour party people mantra, Las Vegas has not escaped the  wreckage that is Covid-19.

Don’t pretend to be: be!

A devastating loss can shatter the façade we put up for others, exposing our deepest, rawest self. A work of art can do the same. Don’t show off! Don’t pretend to be, be!’ The piercing voice of my stern ballet teacher with the stick and the square glasses still echoes in my mind. These two…

One thing about him that has more ground - literally - is where his infamous castle lair was located - generally accepted…
