A Wild and Precious Day with the NYAD
Diana Nyad has proven that it’s possible to do anything we set our minds on. Diana lives by Mary Oliver’s famous words “What will you do with your one wild and precious life?†When I arrived at Olivia Travel’s week at Club Med Ixtapa a day late, I was horrified to find out that I […]
Fabulosa, the Fab West Coast Women’s Festival!
The first Fabulosa I attended in 2012 was a chance for me to face my fears. I had heard great things about it, and wanted to go, but none of my friends were up for it. I hemmed and hawed, and even pulled my car over halfway there—almost turning back. But I soldiered on, not […]
A Giant Box of Africa
Africa has a way of cracking open your heart. I’m struck by the stark contrast between the lives of blacks and whites, even 20 years after Apartheid. The animals in the game reserves are locked behind electric fences. The South African people can’t get out easily either, the Visa process makes international travel prohibitive to […]
Love and Goodbyes
I’m headed off on a big trip! Going on an Ecoquest Safari in Africa with Jody Cole. I’m on the bus watching people hugging and kissing at the airport drop off zone. I see an older couple give a perfunctory peck on the lips and I think about the last time they might have shared […]
‘Never Give Up!’ – Diana Nyad
Diana Nyad, 64, is an inspirational example of human endurance. As an older woman, out lesbian and amazing athlete, she blows my mind! Diana Nyad just made the swim from Cuba to Florida WITHOUT STOPPING!!! As she arrived on the beach yesterday afternoon, Diana was greeted by hundreds of cheering supporters, many of whom waved […]
Smile, Romp and Stay Curious
I met Val Yandell and Jane Brooks in my hometown of Fairfax, CA. at their corner of The Garage – a Marin County pop-up space that houses a local indie design market. It’s a groovy new artists’ collective where I’ve found a treasure trove of vintage and imaginative handmade items. And since I don’t often […]
Col. Cammermeyer, ‘Serving in Silence’ No More
Col. Grethe Cammermeyer is a tall woman with an infectious smile and an easygoing manner. I had enjoyed chatting with her and her adorable wife Diane over dinner the previous night, and I was excited to watch her presentation. She was part of a large group of trailblazers and entertainers that filled the ship for […]
Nicole Conn, Lilith’s Merkin & the Next Big Thing
To meet Nicole Conn is to love her. She has been always been big fan of Epochalips, and in 2011, when she invited me down to her movie set in LA while she was filming A Perfect Ending, I jumped at the opportunity. I was welcomed with a warm hug, (managed to catch some amazing […]
God Shave the Queen!
Same-sex marriage comes to the UK! Diana would have been so proud. The Queen’s approval was the final formality necessary for this bill to become law. The new law enables gay couples to get married in both civil and religious ceremonies in England and Wales, provided that the religious institution consents. The Church of England, […]
DJ Rockaway Rocks the House!
I love to dance. I just HAVE to! And DJ Rockaway is the DJ that keeps me dancing. She stepped up to DJ our big Epochalips party for Nicole Conn’s movie premiere of ‘A Perfect Ending’ last year at Frameline. She got me to jump in the pool TWICE (with most of my clothes on) […]
