I got a recommendation to eat at Bayona in NOLA.

Any other recommendations? (I will be travelling with D, a lacto-ovo-vegetarian who refuses to believe that the lower mollusks are hard to distinguish from plants.)

Jay Bakker, the only son of TV evangelists Jim Bakker and Tammy Faye Messner, is the subject of this six-part observational documentary series from filmmaker Jeremy Simmons (“TransGeneration”). Veteran of a troubled adolescence, tattooed and pierced Jay now preaches God's grace and unconditional love to an alternative non-denominational congregation in Atlanta, which meets in a working bar.

Here's a video I shot in the Alps this morning.

heres a guy with an incredible body of work. the sidney falco character from sweet smell of success was a self caricature.

sweet smell and night of the hunter, which he didnt write (charles laughton did) were both critically acclaimed but box office flops. (i saw a couple of minutes of spike lees do the right thing last night. in hunter, robert mitchum has love and hate scrawled on his knuckles and he uses them to illustrate his struggle with righteousness. in do the right thing, the character has a pair of those brass knuckle-like rings for your entire hand. on one hand he had love and the other hate. the character does the entire mitchum monologue updated for 80s brooklyn speech patterns.)

kim novak of vertigo fame had an intimate relationship with sammy davis jr. her studio chief forced her to break it off if she wanted to maintain her career.

Not sure why anyone would want any fashion / shopping advice from me, but I just went to the brand new store Uniqlo on Broadway between Prince and Spring. Sort of a Japanese Gap or J. Crew. Except much better in my opinion. And cheap! Holy cow. Men's and women's. Worth a look.
my brother sent me this link. his friend robin named a gene she discovered Taupe (after another gene Beige.) not funny enough to make the article though.
