Firsts: Coming of Age Stories by People with Disabilities

August 13, 2019 By Tony Leggio

The book review is one of my favorite columns to write for many reasons, but the main one is it gives me the chance to discover new authors and explore genres I normally do not read.  This is definitely true of my book for August - Firsts: Coming of Age Stories by People with Disabilities.  Edited by Belo Miguel Cipriani, this book highlights some of the best writers … [Read more...] about Firsts: Coming of Age Stories by People with Disabilities

August 13, 2019 By Frank Perez

Gay Liberation Monument near Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village

Across the street from the historic Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village in a small gated area called Christopher Park, stands the Gay Liberation Monument—a sculpture depicting a seated lesbian couple and a gay male couple standing.  The couples are innocently yet affectionately touching each other.  If you’ve made a pilgrimage to Stonewall, you’ve undoubtedly seen the … [Read more...] about Dr. Peter Putnum and Houma’s Connection to Stonewall

Party Down August 13, 2019

August 13, 2019 By Tony Leggio

As Southern Decadence approaches its home stretch and events reach a fever pitch, it was quite a two weeks. Not everything I did, however, revolved around a decadent celebration. In fact, my two weeks can be summed up easily -- boys, birthdays, booze and bayous!   I was off to the races so to speak on Monday when I participated in the NOAGE (New Orleans Advocates for … [Read more...] about Party Down August 13, 2019

Book Review: What Rough Beast

August 13, 2019 By Frank Perez

What Rough Beast.  Robert Dole.  Austin Macauley Publishers, 2017.  126 pages. This is a strange, odd mess of a book.  Hot and shitty?  Not necessarily—but certainly weird and peculiar. What Rough Beast is marketed as a novel but it’s more of a novella, sort of.  The first half reads like notes for a memoir.  The second half is formatted … [Read more...] about Book Review: What Rough Beast

Cat Lady

August 13, 2019 By Robert W Fieseler

When you’re down, you relate to the Cat Lady. Perhaps a little too much. I first crossed her path before I knew she was the Cat Lady, in the wintertime around dusk. I’d just moved to New Orleans with my husband, formally, and we were running low on funds. Rather than have one of those pathetic marital arguments about bills, overheard through the walls of our shotgun, Ryan … [Read more...] about Cat Lady

An Interview with “Photographer of the Year” Arthur Severio

August 13, 2019 By Tyler Rosebush

Ambush Magazine Publisher TJ Acosta presenting Arthur Severio with the 2019 Photographer of the Year Gay Appreciation Award.

I first became aware of Arthur Severio’s talents when he decided to convert his French Quarter hair salon into a fully-functioning art gallery to exhibit local artists and develop his own skills as a photographer. Over the years, his persistence has paid off and won him many accolades including selection for the Louisiana Contemporary exhibition in 2016 and more recently … [Read more...] about An Interview with “Photographer of the Year” Arthur Severio

1850 House

August 13, 2019 By Frank Perez

Few places offer the chance to experience the lifestyle of our ancestors of more than 150 years ago. The 1850 House is one of these rare places, offering a glimpse of upper-middle-class life in antebellum New Orleans, the most prosperous period in the city’s history. The 1850 House doesn’t represent any single family’s house. Rather, it reflects mid-19th century prosperity, … [Read more...] about 1850 House

Dorian Rush in 100 Years of Women in Blues (photo by Josh Frederick)

100 Years of Women in Blues at Teatro Wego! through August 25 It only seems like a 100 years since Dorian Rush has graced our local stages. So it’s a treat to have her back in her new solo show 100 Years of Women in Blues which delivers just what it promises, a marvelous overview of the women who were the founders and torchbearers of this uniquely American art … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards August 13, 2019
