Recently, while drawing on my own experience living in one of these pricey shoeboxes NYC calls an apartment, I wrote an article on how to make a miniature bedroom a livable space. Well, I practice what I preach; I now have a very livable, cozy spot for rest and relaxation. However, what I didn’t prepare for were the parts of …
Cuntfessions: There’s A Target in the East Village Now & Other Metaphors
Will keeping apprised of the constant changes in New York only and always result in mourning what it used to be? Even and especially if you never really experienced it at its now overly romanticized peak, 1980-82 (once Madonna got legitimately famous in ’83, everything was over). How you used to look at it as you might your first love …

Cuntfessions: Sex Is Starting to Feel Like It’s Changing in the Same Way Credit Cards Are
Time has passed in such a way that, like the Gen Xers and baby boomers before millennials, it’s gotten to the point where “nostalgia” (that word that suggests things were better in the past when in fact, as Proust put it, “Remembrance of things past is not necessarily the remembrance of things as they were”) has led us to wax …

Artist Chuck Manion is much like the architect protagonist Howard Roark in Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead: fiercely independent, autonomous thinking, a man of action. And like Howard Roark, fame and fortune are not a driving force governing the creative process or life trajectory. The integrity of their art is. Mr. Manion is concerned as much about the proper hanging for …
Donkey Days & Donkey Nights: Aaron Fowler Seizes The Moment

Cuntfessions: Good Dick Will Imprison You, Or at Least Mildly Adequate Dick is Prompting Ariana Grande to Turn a Blind Eye
Because one can’t be famous without some recompense (being rich and attractive, after all, isn’t without its tradeoff of being largely hated), Ariana Grande has been the subject of much contempt of late in her hypocrisy for dating/being engaged to mostly previously unknown before banging her (or Cazzie David for that matter) Pete Davidson. In contrast, Davidson has argued via …
