A look that's bullet proof -- fashion's use of military styles takes a turn I could not have fathomed. Meanwhile, fall 2010 menswear collections, I have very mixed feelings about you.

Children in focus in NJ same-sex marriage case.

Gay rights to be part of Nepal's charter.

Bet this story will be ugly and all about bigotry when the whole thing comes out: plane "forced down" because of some sort of "disruptive passenger" and "prayer beads."

For those of you wishing to see Dogboy & Justine, my one-act about dominatrixes and head-injuries, tickets are now available from The Secret Theater website.



Dogboy & Justine is part of Act Five: One Acts and has made it past the first round of judging. Now it runs with five other plays through Saturday night. At the end of the performances each night you will have a chance to vote for your favorite plays! After Saturday's performance a winner will be declared and hey, for $15 you get five plays!

So:

Go here: https://www.ovationtix.com/trs/cal/1681/1262377800000/prm/ to buy tickets for this week and please vote for Dogboy & Justine.

The theater is located in Queens, one stop from Manhattan on multiple train lines. It's part of a larger arts center with galleries and studios and stuff, so it could be a fun outing!

Bullet proof fashion - only in the sick mad nation that is the US. Dear gods, actual civilized nations have further proof things are insane here.

As for the fall 2010 menswear collections - at least from the photos, most were IMHO hideous, several were disturbing, but the oddity from Versace (which I elsewhere read was inspired by Tron of all things) was interesting and fun, and that lovely outfit with the velvet jacket by Gucci is one of the few things I've ever seen in such collections that I deeply covet.

Actually, Japan has been using knife-proof fashion for children for at least a decade, due to a series of random stabbing attacks on young children. So it's not just you!
