“Baby, baby. Where did our love go?” “Baby,come back!” “Baby face, you’ve got the cutest little baby face.”
There are more songs that use the word “baby,” than smokers who throw their cigarettes out the car window. (Hello! You have an ashtray.)
So many people want to have a baby– maybe not the child as [...]

“Step on a crack, Break your mother’s back.” You know, just because something rhymes doesn’t mean it makes sense. I’ll tell you what will break your mother’s back: moving back into her house– when you’re 40 years old! Okay, more likely osteoporosis will break your mother’s (or father’s) back, but what is the deal [...]

Rape or sexual assault is sexual act performed by one person on another without consent. Rape or sexual assault occurs due to force, threat, victim’s inability to consent
Drag queens love divas. When drag queens start impersonating a star, that star is immortalized: Cher, Tina Turner, Liza– and now Rihanna. Even at the ice rink, I hear Rihanna, but don’t ask me how the songs go. I have to admit: I’m just not that into her music.
But for unfortunate reasons, I [...]
Cloris Leachman is very funny. High Anxiety proved it. Remember those pointy breasts as Nurse Diesel? Still, I didn’t know how raunchy she could be until I saw her roast Bob Saget. Oooh, child!
Then she kept the censors for Dancing with the Stars jumping every time she was on air this past season [...]

“I’m a girl and by me that’s only great. I enjoy being a girl!” Go, Flower Drum Song! In that Rogers & Hammerstein song, Nancy Kwan sings about all the great things women get to do that are fun and sassy. I tell you, the ladies have all the fun: hair, makeup, shoes, clothes-and [...]
Vulcans rock! When I grew up watching Star Trek, I did not want to be the sexy, pause-talking, profound James T. Kirk. Even as a future doctor, I did not desire to be Dr. McCoy. Sulo was my hero since he was Oriental Asian like me-but what a bad haircut! Lt. Uhura-now that girl [...]
“Pregnant?” Have you ever asked a person if she was pregnant, only to learn that well… she isn’t! This is when if you had a tail, you would curl it between your legs. What’s even worse is if the person you asked is a man… well, unless it’s the pregnant man on Oprah. [...]
Sex and The City put women’s sexuality on the map. Or did it? They touched just about every sexual topic that exists for women, and yet they left us wanting to watch more. However, according to my female friends, women just don’t talk that openly with each other about sex. Really? I thought Tupperware [...]

Tara is what Scarlett O’Hara fought for. But is land so important to fight for that you reduce yourself to wearing drapery and marrying a man you don’t love?
Someone once told me, “The secret to being a lady is knowing when to be a woman.” So Scarlett got Tara back, but her [...]

“Friends come and go, Talking of Michelangelo” is my adaptation of T.S. Eliot’s The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. I never really got into poetry, so to challenge myself, at Denison University I enrolled not just in a poetry class, but in an honors poetry class.
Ho ho ho… hum. In [...]

Men wearing women’s clothing is always so funny. Why? When women dress in men’s clothing, “It’s so Annie Hall!” But when Willard Scott dresses like Carmen Miranda, we all go bananas. Look at Oscar winner Jamie Foxx! On In Living Color, he hilariously cross-dressed as the cross-eyed Wanda. (Maybe his crossed eyes somehow got him [...]
Sanjaya Malakar on American Idol makes little girls cry… and the judges (especially when Paula is spaced out)… and America. He kind of reminds me of an Asian Indian version of Michael Jackson. All the girls scream and cry because “He’s so sensitive and sweet!”
I like Sanjaya. Okay, he isn’t the greatest thing since [...]
Kathy Griffin is a goddess. Yes, move over Venus– Kathy is here! She recently performed at The Paramount– run by the fabulous Chad Hershner– and brought da House down (as Queen Latifah would say).
Kathy has a Bravo network reality show that documents every funny and bold moment of her life as a stand-up comedian and [...]
I recently received a heart-breaking letter from a woman with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (POCS). The classic signs are hirsuitism (hairy face and body), but male pattern baldness, acne, irregular menstrual cycles, and sometimes infertility can also present.
“Before I found out I had PCOS I felt so alone and depressed,” says the Waynesboro correspondent. “I [...]
There are many different types of death. Death of a family member or friend. Death of an era. Death of a Salesman. Death Becomes Her. Death Leppard?
But what happens in a relationship/marriage when there is Bed Death? When I was child, I was watching some TV show (surprise, surprise)¬ I think the Waltons or [...]
Jerry Lee Lewis sang a hit song, “Great Balls of Fire,” that became an international sensation. He also became an international “defamation” as quickly as he rose to the top, poor guy. Every time I hear a patient mispronounce their uterine fibroids, I think of the title of his song: “I have some ‘fire balls’ [...]

When I worked part-time in an Emergency Department in Richmond, there was a young clerk who knew every rap song out there. However, when I sang, “Happy Talk” (even with choreography), she had no clue where the song came from. Her blank stare is permanently burned in my memory.
So being the Ira Gershwin that [...]
Olympia Dukakis said in Steel Magnolias something like, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, come sit by me.”
I have some distant relatives who complain about everything. “My ankles are swollen. I look
like Starr Jones.” “My back is killing me from all the years I worked in the fields to feed you ungrateful [...]

I love musicals. I know every Rodgers and Hammerstein musical and every obscure song they wrote. If you ever hear me sing Karaoke, you will know what I mean. “I can name and sing that song in 4 notes…”
However, I don’t know enough musicals– like Candide– by one of my favorite composers, Leonard Bernstein. Would [...]

When I was a freshman in college, my fellow pre-med friend, George, pointed at my face and laughed. I asked him what was so funny. He chanted, “You’ve got a herpes, you’ve got a herpes…” and did a funny bunny-like dance.
The classroom erupted in laughter as I defended myself, “It’s a zit!” (This [...]
I’m gullible. I tend to believe people are honest, but as a result I tend to fall for stupid things. For example, I once believed a person who said “gullible” isn’t in the dictionary. I saw a wall mount of a rabbit with six-point antlers and was told it was a “Jack-a-lope.” I wondered [...]
