A Tale of Two Closets: Maestro and Fellow Travelers

Gay film and television drama always includes suffering. A lot of suffering. We in the LGBTQIA+ community don’t get a lot of Julia Roberts/Hugh Grant frothy rom coms. Hell, we don’t get any Marvel epics, Disney fables, sci-fi adventures, or even glitzy musicals of our own. C’est la vie. But sometimes in the suffering, Hollywood gets it right. That is indubitably the case with…

“When I found out the patriarchy wasn’t about horses, I just lost interest anyway.” Barbie the Movie

Kudos to Barbie helmer and co-screenwriter Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird, Little Women), Hollywood’s first woman director (and likely NOT the last) to earn $1 billion at the international box office for a film.

My mother the car …

File under: “search and rescue mission.” I remember when my mother Susie Duncan Sexton bought this Pontiac Grand Am in 1994. I believe it’s the only car in her lifetime that she ever got to special order brand new. She called it her “dead mother car” in her inimitable way. Yes, she purchased it with cash from her inheritance from my grandmother‘s passing. And in some way, I guess it’s now my…

Cloud 9, part one: Being named one of this year’s “Notable Leaders in Marketing” by Crains Detroit Business + #LMA23 Legal Marketing Coffee Talk LIVE! (redux)

I’m not sure I gave this its proper due last week. I had a *bit* going on with Legal Marketing Association – LMA International’s #LMA23 annual conference – drag queens, sequins, stellar keynote Laura Gassner Otting, and off-the-chain content and networking with THE best legal marketing pros in the business. Last week was, well, epic. And I will be on Cloud 9 for months/years to come as a…

“Teaser days.” LMA President’s message for February … #lmamkt #lma23

Original post here … For those of us who live in climates where there are more fir trees than palm trees, there’s a saying my husband and I have for those unseasonably warm days that remind us spring is just around the corner: “Teaser days.” We had a few gloriously sunny, vibrant teaser days last week ― the kind where it seems our tulips and daffodils might burst spontaneously from the ground in…
