From Black Hole to Pretty People

Despite the much vaunted pooch-walking service, there wasn’t a pet in sight at French 250, which hosted an opening party last night. But with plenty of pretty people pouring in and bottles of champagne pouring out, it doesn’t look like this restaurant will be going to the dogs anytime soon…

Standring, the Gates Foundation curator of painting and sculpture, any art-illiterate doubts I had about the relevance of Masterpieces on Loan: Caravaggio, Poussin, Lorrain are long, long gone. “Imagine Shakespeare coming to town,” says Standring. “Imagine Mozart’s…

“A freeway sign at Exit 27 says this spot is the town of Ludlow, but there’s no town here, just a chain-link fence with an unlocked gate surrounding a white-walled meeting hall, a gazebo with picnic tables, and a monument that looks like an oversized Victorian grave marker.” That’s how…

Ch-Ch-Changes

Brit-turned-Boulderite Gemma Wilcox takes character morphing to a whole new level in her one-woman shows. Far more than a quick-change artist, or even a Sybil-esque multiple-personalitied solo performance virtuoso, she bleeds seamlessly from male to female, flora to fauna, portraying everything from her main everywoman protagonist, Sandra, to a saxophone…
