That my second all-time love is Luther Vandross? Bowie is always my number one first love always but Luther…swoon! My friends know how much I love R&B. That said, Usher, R. Kelly and those jiggly-voiced crooner kids can just Sit the Hell Down. I know you may argue for Teddy, Barry, [...]

Scary Girl is a graphic novel/game/toys product from Toronto-based artist Nathan Jurevicius. The images/animations are beautiful, clever and creepycute. The game is fun to play and [...]

I love this series so much. Man, I really miss my Gram!! What a great idea for this filmmaker to bond with his grandmother in this way, and to let her tell her stories. This video has been viewed on YouTube over 200,000 times. How that must blow Clara’s mind. They [...]
