![]() At home, this makes for a lonely existence, since no one in her family wants her anywhere near them lest they start to look old or plain. ![]() But because she has no such "gifts," Annie is not only ordinary in every way, her very presence disenchants those around her. Apparently, fairy-tale characters are only perpetually lovely and charming and talented because they've been enchanted. Baker fleshes out nicely in this middle-grades book. Why? Because her overcautious parents, freaked out by the curse put on their firstborn, asked another fairy to ensure that their younger child would be resistant to magic.This is a great premise, which E. ![]() ![]() A very clever retelling of Sleeping Beauty from the POV of her younger sister, who doesn't fall asleep after her older sibling pricks her finger on the spindle. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I’m an academic, but it seemed an obvious thing to do. “I could have stuck with talking to other Catholics in a small room,” he observes, “But I thought: we have to address the wider culture and use the media in a creative way. What Fulton Sheen – another US bishop, and one of his heroes – did for the age of television, Bishop Barron is doing for social media with his Word on Fire website. He’s known as the Bishop for the Internet (though his actual see is Winona-Rochester), because his Facebook following and YouTube hits are so huge. There aren’t, frankly, many Catholic bishops who have to field questions about how it is they’re so brilliant at reaching young people, but that’s Bishop Robert Barron for you. Bishop Robert Barron reaches a huge online audience with his Word on Fire ministry. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This can be a period where there can be a certain hopelessness because you really can't see a future. "There's now this whole chunk of time where you've got to find meaning," she told SalonTV's Mary Elizabeth Williams on "Salon Talks," "because society doesn't assign you any meaning for that time of your life other than, 'Aren't you happy to be a grandparent?' I'm not done yet. Though it resonates with her trademark glamor and wit, the book doesn't flinch from the struggles of getting older. But in her new book, "Is There Still Sex in the City?" Candace Bushnell-the author of the original book "Sex and the City" that inspired the HBO series, the movie franchise and "The Carrie Diaries"-ventures beyond the boroughs as she explores dating, friendship and a phenomenon she calls "midlife madness" (MAM for short). For over 25 years, she's been in many ways the quintessential New York City woman. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Today, the refreshingly filter-free housewife and unapologetic mom is the newest full-time cast member of Bravo’s juggernaut franchise, where she often elicits raised eyebrows and gossip from her costars for her refusal to be the scorned ex-wife, to be bullied, to change her sarcastic sense of humor, or-on most occasions-to wear a bra. Before she knew it, Brandi was the perfect Hollywood trophy wife-at least until her marriage exploded. For the first time, Brandi talks about how she escaped a rough neighborhood on the outskirts of Sacramento and stumbled into a successful modeling career that swept her into a world of Paris Fashion Weeks, private jets, and uncircumcised penises. ![]() Not only does Brandi spill the beans about her side of the split, the lovable housewife shares the incredible wild ride that took her from a life in the ghetto to Hollywood’s most elite circles. So why should she change now? Brandi Glanville tells all in this hilarious, no-holds-barred memoir.įans have been waiting for Brandi’s scoop on one of the biggest divorces of the decade, since her husband of eight years abandoned her and their two sons to marry country singer LeAnn Rimes. She’s the brutally honest breath of fresh air on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, known for her dramatic divorce, her barely-there clothing, and her inability to keep her mouth shut. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The design flaw was that I conceived of Sugar as a persona, a woman with a troubled past and a slightly reckless tongue.Īnd while there were moments when she felt real to me, when I could feel myself locking into the pain of my correspondents, more often I faked it, making do with wit where my heart failed me. But I justified it by supposing that I could create a different sort of advice column, both irreverent and brutally honest. Handing yourself a job as an advice columnist is a pretty arrogant thing to do, which is par for my particular course. It will be enough to note that Dear Sugar Butt was shortened, mercifully, to Dear Sugar. I will not belabor the goofy homoeroticism that would lead to such an endearment. My contribution was an advice column, which I suggested we call Dear Sugar Butt, after the endearment Stephen and I had taken to using in our email correspondence. Being a writer himself, and therefore impoverished, Stephen prevailed upon his likewise impoverished writer friends to help.Īnd we, his friends, all said yes, because we love Stephen and because (if I may speak for the group) we were all desperate for a noble-seeming distraction. He had this idea for a website, which sounds pretty awful, I admit, except that his idea was really to build an online community around literature, called The Rumpus. Long ago, before there was a Sugar, there was Stephen Elliott. I Was Sugar Once: Lessons in Radical Empathy ![]() ![]() ![]() Though some of the children she helped raise supported Maier after they came of age, she couldn’t make the payments on a storage locker she rented. Maier’s recent, sudden ascent from reclusive eccentric to esteemed photographer is one of the more remarkable stories in American photography. ![]() After all, she says, Maier is “a photographer of consequence now.” But her photograph of Carole Pohn and her children Andy and Jennifer Levant, from 1962 or ’63, is one of the very few prints Maier ever shared she gave it to Pohn, a painter, telling her she was “the only civilized person in Highland Park.” Pohn says she tacked the print up on a bulletin board “with a million other things”-an act that embarrasses her today. She’d snap pictures of anything or anyone as she lugged her charges on field trips into Chicago, photographing the elderly, the homeless, the lost. Her real name was Vivian Maier, and she wore a Rolleiflex twin-lens reflex camera around her neck, more body part than accessory. “I was coming toward the car,” Levant recalls, “and she just stuck the lens in there in the window and took a picture.” Residents of the Chicago suburb of Highland Park had gotten used to the nanny doing that, along with her French accent, her penchant for wearing men’s coats and boots, and the look and gait that led children to call her “bird lady.” Brian Levant’s mother, brother and sister were waiting to give him a ride home from the skating rink one day in the early 1960s when the neighbors’ nanny appeared. ![]() ![]() The tournament had been going on for two hours.

As the wedding fails stack up (the wedding planner disappears, as does a tuxedo, and the house alarm keeps going off), Matson introduces more emotionally resonant events impacting the family. Protagonist Charlie narrates the weekend’s ups and downs, handling two potential suitors along the way, but neither romance quite comes together amid the constant chaos. In a madcap series of events and in lightning-quick dialogue among family members, Matson explores absolutely everything that could go wrong under the circumstances. ![]() Say Yes to the Dress If you love this show, along with other TLC offerings, you’ll definitely love the family dynamic present in Save the Date by Morgan Matson. ![]() ![]() Set during a single weekend, Matson’s ( Since You’ve Been Gone) latest novel is full of appealing elements: the promise of a sister’s wedding a big, close-knit family a mother who draws a famous comic strip an estranged brother, who’s returned for the big event and plenty of unexpected guests, all packed under the Grant family roof. The novel does an incredible job delving into the fascinating mindset of the members of his cult, depicting just how willing they were to go to unthinkable extremes. ![]() ![]() ![]() Conducted by Kanako Abe, the music blends Western and Eastern traditions, performed on a unique mix of ancient folk instruments by musicians from all over the world. What does it mean to be a woman? What does it mean to be liberated?
