Libido-licious: Goddess This

Now that winter is (or will) gradually transform itself into spring, it’s time to think about sex, love, and romance. (Oh, like you weren’t already.) Valentine’s Day (a.k.a. V-Day) will soon be upon us, and thus February is the month of all things that are “libido-licious” (i.e., aphrodisiacs, if you will).
Things like alcohol. (Duh – [...]

A Completed New Year’s Resolution: Heed the Hedonist on Facebook

So … some people keep New Year’s Resolutions, others don’t. Personally, I can see both sides: given that most resolutions pertain to health improvement – be it physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, socially, financially, or (of course) hedonistically – one could argue that they shouldn’t be a once-a-year promise to oneself, but rather, something one lives [...]

Nicely Naughty Nutcracker

It’s that time of year – the month when it gets cold outside, but (hopefully) hot inside. Sure, there are always cookies a-bakin’, fires a-cracklin’, and (often ugly) sweaters a-donnin’. But think burlesque, dear hedonists – time for a lil’ strip teasin’, pastie-twirlin’ good time.
For it’s burlesque time again at The Triple Door – (your [...]

Shakespeare With A Twist

I always love watching interpretations of Shakespearean plays. Personally, I find that, in general, no matter what the alterations, the garment still seems to … well, fit comfortably. And there have been many alterations over time, such as changes in place and time.
But how about some changes of a different nature? Like a lesbian love [...]

Rocky Horror Rocks It

July it may be, but there have been days when it has felt like October. Hallowe’en always reminds me of a certain 1975 film adaptation of a 1973 British rock musical stage production. A musical stage production that parodied the B-movie, horror, and Sci Fi movie genres of post-WWII to the early 1970s.
That’s right – [...]

Hail Caesar Sassy at TZ

Hedonism is as old as history. As old as love, even. Which is why historical love stories – especially sassy, sexy ones – are soooo much fun to read about, write about, and create.
Enter the latest production by Teatro ZinZanni (TZ): Hail Caesar. Running May 12th to August 28th, 2011, this fanciful show reunites Julius [...]

Ghostly, Graceful, Giselle

Imagine being wooed by someone who just wanted to sow some wild oats, as it were. Then imagine yourself falling hopelessly in love with that person – only to find out that the object of your affection really sought you out simply as an object of desire to be quenched with carnal love.
Would you forgive [...]

Wooden O’s 2011 Shakespearean Summer Schedule

Good news on the summer front! (No, not weather-wise.) The calendar with the schedule of this summer’s outdoor Shakespeare performances by Wooden O is now ready!
Both Macbeth and The Comedy of Errors will be performed – Macbeth July 7th through the 31st, 2011 and The Comedy of Errors July 7th through August 7th, 2011. So, [...]

Lusty Lady Memories

On June 27th, 2010, Seattle’s infamous The Lusty Lady closed its doors forever, after 33 years of memories. What kind of memories? Pretty much any and all one could imagine from a peepshow: erotic, humorous, fond, disturbing, gross, and even a few scary ones, too.
Running this month at Market Theater, home of Unexpected Productions is [...]

Only Five Days of Moisture Left

So today’s headline reads “Only Five Days of Moisture Left.” Unfortunately, I’m not talking about a sunnier state for our as of late soggy Seattle ’sphere, which truly seems to have been rather bone-chillingly damp. (Although hope springs eternal, for the sun is out as I type these words.)
In this case, dear hedonists, I’m talking [...]
