Egyptian Chick Magazine April 2017 Jan Gallione Tribute This month's issue was a joy to write as it was a tribute to my former belly dance pupil Jan Gallione. The artist who passed away in a car accident at age thirty five really represents a certain time in NYC when art was still thriving and eclectic. The article about my long lost friend and protégé turned into a memoir of a neighborhood too-centered around my street "West Fifty Seventh." Soon, a biography will be released and we can learn even more about Jan's later life including her marriage to one of the artist sons of Sir Terry Frost, the famed abstract expressionist.

George Michael and those Iconic Cross Earrings Well, he surely had a soulful voice. "Careless Whisper" has to be one of my most favorite songs of all time. Oh, to be a "pole dancer" for just one night so I could slither down to that piece of music! Remember how wonderful it was to "slow dance" to that song though. They don't make songs like that any more, afraid somebody might actually have a "tender feeling" for five seconds-heaven forbid! (I heard another blogger say young people have quit "slow dancing." I thought to myself that was probably true as we have turned into a society more interested in "violence" than we are "sex.") In the tributes to George Michael we've seen many images, but the ones that stand out are the ones with the "Cross" earrings. I remember so well when, I guess, Madonna helped usher in a new wave of popularity for the religious icon.
