Mama San won't budge from $1,000. There's the food she's paid for, the clothes, the makeup and the condoms, not to mention the middlemen's fees. At $1,000, she says, she is making nothing. She taps out the figure in Thai baht on a calculator and holds it up: 43,650. You won't get a pair of 14-year-old Burmese girls for less in this town...
Though every cast member offers a carefully considered performance, the technical makeup of the play at times lacks attention to detail to ground the play in concrete terms. The production could have benefited, for example, by a transformation in the lighting that corresponds to the Captain’s condition. The manipulation of light here would have served as a potentially dynamic symbol for a play that transpires entirely by evening or night.

Such sunny enthusiasm pushes the album smoothly and gleefully from unrequited love odes (“Always On My Mind”) to breakup-makeup ballads (“All Over Again”) to the sing-along rocker “Anthem,” but no farther.

(He acquired his musical pseudonym, Cornelius, from the name of a friendly simian in the 1968 movie Planet of the Apes.) But instead of platform leather boots, pancake makeup and pyrotechnic stage shows, Oyamada would go on to vent his wild side through his uninhibited, almost childlike sonic stylings. This obsessive fascination with music as an aural portal to his (and our) more Dionysian alter egos made his 1998 album Fantasma an international breakthrough. The charged orgy of crunchy metal...
...Liberty and Elizabeth Taylor. Warhol first painted Monroe after her suicide in August 1962. Instead of a recent photograph, he used a film still from nearly 10 years before. The flat silk-screen technique crookedly applies green eyeshadow and scarlet lipstick, like a magazine illustration of this season's makeup trends. Warhol's paintings "have the color of a shiny new car in the '50s and '60s," says De Salvo, the kind "used by advertisers to attract people to their products, [that have] an almost mesmerizing effect...
