Miss’d America :: January 31, 2010
As with awards’ telecasts, beauty pageants can be a long slog through stage patter, swimsuit malfunctions, broken heels, and fire baton twirling-and yet, if an audience is lucky, there is sometimes one talent number that galvanizes the crowd into a spontaneous eruption of wild cheers and fanatical applause. Such was the case on Saturday night at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City as Miss’d America pageant contestant Michelle Dupree took the stage and delivered a knock-em-dead, eleven o’clock number channeling the spirits of Ethel, Ella, Judy, and Josephine that had the audience immediately on its feet with near-universal consensus of the night’s most electrifying performance and ultimate winner.

Eyes Wide Open
By Benjamin Solomon | Feb 9
Tormented Jews are hot right now in cinema. If the Coen brothers’ recent A Serious Man explored the chaotic events of a Midwestern Jew’s life (what do they all mean-if anything?), Israeli film Eyes Wide Open (Peccadillo Pictures) could almost be seen as its companion piece, A Righteous Man, or perhaps a fiction version of Sandy Dubowski’s groundbreaking doc Trembling Before G-d.

Taylor Swift-lash hits new heights
By Mark Russo
Where has all the love gone for Taylor Swift? The Taylor Swift-lash has hit new heights, exploding in the blogosphere--fueled by a her label’s delusional response insisting she is "the voice of a generation" and the American Idol boast that she’s the only singer capable of producing high notes.

Sexy Class: The Black and White Ball
By Mark Thompson and Robert Doyle | Jan 2
It was forty-three years ago that the crème de la crème of New York society turned out for the legendary Black and White Ball thrown by Truman Capote at the Plaza Hotel, a party that became known as "the party of the century." Well, guess what-we’re in a new century now, and the New Year’s Eve Black and White Ball at the Chelsea Art Museum, produced by Josh Wood, Tony Fornabaio and Brandon Voss, the powerhouse triumvirate behind the recent resurgence of New York nightlife, proved that there’s a whole new pack of sexy A-listers who know how to carouse with as much panache and élan as anyone on Truman’s guest list.

L’Universelle GMC :: The 2010 GMC Terrain
By Casey Williams | Jan 11
In 1955, GMC created a front-drive "mini-van" it named L’Universelle for its supposed ability to carry and do almost anything. Designed as a combination of the GMC Suburban Carry-All and VW Bus, L’Universelle was a forward-thinking display of style that could have beat Chrysler to the party by 30 years. Power came from a 180-HP Pontiac V8, placed behind the driver to improve handling. Like so many cool concepts, GMC never produced the van and it passed on to automotive heaven after the Motorama season. Its spiritual successor arrives as the 2010 GMC Terrain.
