Sure, we look good without a bra and we’re sexually aggressive, but stacked up against the girls in Russ Meyer’s films, we’re just pasty faced nuns pulling on our rosary beads.

Every time we log on to MySpace, we cringe. Not because of its inherent narcissism or the music promoter who posts the same bulletin 27 times in a row. We huff and sigh because the site is the epitome of piss-poor Web design. There’s the gal who uses glitter text…

There’s nothing technologically astounding about the teapot, right? Well, fancy a gander at the ones by English-born artist Margaret Realica currently on display in “Alternate Images,” an exhibit that provides a sculptural take on the mechanization of water. Realica uses porcelain, Plexiglas, and found gears to fashion teapot-like fixtures that…
Drum sets crash and explode; uncontrollable feedback erupts; random, screeching wraiths arrive and disappear with an equal lack of warning; relaxed fits of laughter compete with measured, stenorian cable-news reportage.

Plus, it’s March, when baseball saturates our desert air and high-stakes hoops of the…
