Stalking a filmmaking hobby

As a five-minute film at the 72 Hour Film Competition last Thursday, “Strander” stood out. Unlike most of the other film festival participants, “Strander” was not a lighthearted frolic. “I’m always striving to do something new and unique,” explained lab-worker by day Richard Acosta, who wrote and directed the movie

New kid moves in!

I saw Sonja Politakis’ fabulously kicky new ’do and had to ask the question: Who? Turns out a new stylist is subtly moving her way into the scene, only she’s not so new.  Melissa Ellis has been an established face at Seattle’s fabulously posh Bocz salon.  Prior to that, she worked

Kourtney Anderson

Kourtney Anderson took a minute to flaunt her stuff in between sips of wine at the Pacific Grill’s Saturday night “Taste” wine tasting.  She commented that the sweater/shirt/tank combo was “stolen from some slaughterhouse somewhere” — potentially the items were borrowed from friends.  Her Guess? Sweater is the only big-brand

It’s in the bag

It’s time to split. We’ve been together nearly a year, and it’s been a mostly good year, but I’m tired. Now I know there are people out there who can juggle multiples, switching things up at whim, and there are those people who can stay with one ’til death. I suppose I’m something

Green Toe, Dwell and Chuckals

Happy, green toes I love me some comfy shoes, and I love me some win-win situations. At Dante’s, I found both of these things, especially when it came to the Simple brand sandals in the Green Toe line — these puppies will keep my piggies happy with simply divine comfort, and they’ll

Don’t eat the Tilapia

When a movie promises me “Hungarian Revolutionaries, Christian Nudists, Pop Stars, Land Sharks, Hard Drinkers, Empty Cities, Failed Resort Towns, Tons of Dead Fish, A Dying Café, and A Man Who built a Mountain,” I take note. This same movie, “Plagues & Pleasures on the Salton Sea,” will be screened at

Cool bikes, cold beer

There were no pompadour-coiffed hipsters present at the Rosewood Café Monday night.  Instead, laid-back friends sat back to enjoy half-priced wine, hearty food (bacon blue cheese salad, num!) and conversation. The group of retro-bike (no lycra or titanium allowed!) riding chums meets at 6:30 p.m. on fair-weather Mondays at the UPS

Trouve and Urban Gourmet and Garden

Mommapalooza Yeah.  Mother’s Day is imminent.  Embarrassingly, I must admit I have made no purchases for either of the mothers on my list — neither his, nor mine — and time is running out.  Enter the Francophile-ic lovey-ness of Trouve, which, yes, will be closing, but not until July.  A recent

Marauding Molly in the house

Two Dockyard Derby Dames Roller Derby Marauding Molly team members show off their fine style with last Saturday’s bout announcer Nathaniel. When he’s not announcing Derby, he announces burlesque, wrestling and even wrestles — just not in these clothes. His duds are from a variety of sources, beginning with the flashy vest

Life Cycle

You grumble about the soaring price of gas, the frightening state of the environment, the dismal state of your fitness, and then wish there was something you could do.  And wouldn’t it be really cool, you muse, if there was some way to add a sprinkling of artistic eclecticism to
