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 [...]

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 [...]

Pike Chocofest: February 10th, 2011

Once again, it’s only a few short days until V-Day; what are you to do? Regardless of whether or not there’s a “significant other” in your life, every hedonist worth any salt loves to partake of liquors and chocolates – including chocolate liqueurs and licking chocolate. But tomorrow there’s something even better than a mere [...]

Swing With the Land of the Sweets

This winter holiday season is not solely for the cutie-pie kiddies and the tiny tots. Hedonistic holidays come naturally, for isn’t this time of year all about pleasure and excess? So why not swing with the land of the sweets, as it were?
For it’s time for an adult version of the Nutcracker, dear hedonists: try [...]

Sit ‘n’ Seattle Spin

Arguably the best kind of good news is when it comes straight out of the blue. And often the most hedonistic kind of surprises are pleasant surprises, aren’t they?
Well, very recently your Hedonista was pleasantly surprised – so much so it was good she was sitting down when she got the news – to discover [...]

Mezzo Post-Mortem

Ever had an experience so unique, so strange, so … inexplicable … that its post-mortem is truly better explained and shared in photographs rather than words?
Well, Teatro ZinZanni’s Mezzo Lunatico is like that. Held in the Spiegeltent, this is a 2-hour show that ends well past midnight; well, really more like three hours when you [...]

Waterways Once Again

It’s official: with all this rain, wind, and autumn-hued leaves in the atmosphere, fall is definitely upon us. What’s more, winter is fast on its heels. In other words, its getting to be that time again – or, to be more specific, those times again: Thanksgiving and the Winter Holiday Season (however you aspiring hedonists [...]

Picasso PNW Bound

Picasso is coming to Seattle, dear hedonists. In a big way.
This will be the first-time a collection of Picasso’s works of this scale has ever been in the Pacific Northwest. From paintings, to drawings, to sculptures, to prints, to photographs, this much-anticipated exhibition will include some 150+ of Picasso’s works.

The Seattle Art Museum (SAM) is [...]
