Gone With the Wind – PROM 2010
Sitting on the patio at Bricktops, enjoying cocktails with Nashville's Girl Friday, Ashley Kemp, I spy a group of teenaged girls dressed for the Prom sashaying down West End. What struck me was the sashay, they were literally wearing hoop skirts! Having only heard lore of that long lost fashion trend, I jumped up and accosted them on the sidewalk. They modeled and showed me the complex construction of their gowns. I insisted on taking their picture. I couldn't believe it, Gone With the Wind was finally back!!
Mickey Thomas Rocks the Blues

Why the Media Ignored the Nashville Flood
As you may have heard, torrential downpours in the southeast flooded the Tennessee capital of Nashville over the weekend, lifting the Cumberland River 13 feet above flood stage, causing an estimated $1 billion in damage, and killing more than 30 people. It could wind up being one of the most expensive natural disasters in U.S. history. Or, on second thought, maybe you didn't hear.
Nashville Under Water
AP Photo Larry McCormack How you respond to crisis is a measure of your character. How a community responds is a measure of an entire culture. Nashville is a special community of people who pull together and, even in times like these, look for the art among the devastation.

Piles of Dreams
by Mary Robinson Most everyday, I ride by the corner of Vaughn Road and Old Hickory Blvd. And everyday when I ride by that corner I am hit with the same emotions….my stomach goes topsy-turvy, sometimes my eyes fill with tears and always, I am overcome with great sadness. Sadness for all the flood victims whose lives are being lifted up from... [Read more of this article]

Nashville Under Water
Nashville is under water and the damage is colossal. In downtown Nashville alone, the estimate totals over a billion dollars. My sister’s house in Franklin was spared but her neighbors weren’t.

Love Your Veggies: Vegetable Aphrodisiacs
Who knew vegetables could be sexy? In the world of aphrodisiacs, there are, in fact, many vegetables that can stimulate libido and enhance an aspect of sexual performance. Aphrodisiacs, in the vast majority of cases, do not have scientific evidence to back up their claims as libido-boosters, but they do have centuries of belief in their power behind...

Toxic Teflon?
DuPont acknowledges that Teflon can kill birds and warns against using Teflon-coated cookware around pet birds. Wait. What?! Back up.

Produced by DuPont, Teflon offered help to countless wannabe... [Read more of this article]
Art in Your Life
As an artist, I attend meetings with other artists. We talk of color, composition, subject matter, and inspiration. During our last meeting, I noticed that when artists only speak to other artists, their work begins to look the same. I also noticed that they were only painting pretty pictures without relation to what was going on in the community. The... [Read more of this article]

Million Dollar Desserts
Despite being only just 3 years old, my daughter Madeline knows good chocolate.

With a rich Valrhona dark chocolate ganache... [Read more of this article]
Eco-Fashion: Bamboo
Bamboo? That hard, woody, plant Pandas are so fond of? You want us to wear it? It hardly seems it would make for comfy clothing. We all remember those wooly itchy sweaters, socks, or worse that we were forced to wear in winter. Or the polyester of yesteryear rubbing like carpet burn on every extremity. Well, surprisingly, bamboo clothing... [Read more of this article]
License to Procreate
I realize that 13-14 year olds, crackheads, homeless people, hookers, and teenage pop stars should not be having children. I’m not, however, taking a stance on moral or political issues; I’ll leave that to Paris Hilton. As a pretty normal adult, with the means to raise a child, I admittedly had no clue what I was doing with my first. I remember... [Read more of this article]
Gwyneth Goops Nashville

Uncle Monk Interview – Tommy Ramone and Claudia Tienan
I came to New York City during the summer of 2001. Before September 11th. After the death of Joey Ramone. I may have missed Joey and the heyday of the ‘70’s scene at what became the epicenter of American punk rock at 315 Bowery, but CBGB (which, somewhat surprisingly, stands for country, bluegrass, blues) was still a bit like the CBGB I had...

Wind Energy…at My House?
Solar is only one half to the renewable energy coin, on the flip side there’s wind. Wind energy is one of the cleanest forms of producing energy. But unfortunately, not all homes are geographically equipped to produce enough wind. Fortunately, many homes are. But can I realistically use wind at my house? The answer is…maybe. When I speak...

The Braised Melody
One of my favorite past times is grabbing a nice bottle of wine, putting on some music, and cooking for the people I love. It always brings back memories of my childhood, of watching my mom dance around the kitchen to Gloria Estefan as she prepared dinners for friends and family. Whether it was bacon and eggs or an all day spaghetti sauce, this... [Read more of this article]
