  • On Love…

      A simple question, “How many have you loved?” Is your answer, one and only? Or is it several, all of whom have shaped your life? Someone shared this on my Facebook feed and I found it quite serendipitous considering that my co-worker and I spent some of the afternoon discussing something very much like…

  • The Women Are Getting Angry Boom Champions…

    The Women Are Getting Angry Boom Champions…

    I don’t think I’ve ever really done this before. Normally I like to experience things first hand before I really voice my opinion (flaming rant) on it. I don’t listen to Boom Champions 94.1FM. I never really had a good reason for that (until now anyway). My dial stays tuned to RED96.7FM on most occasions…

  • Thoughts on Miss T&T

    Thoughts on Miss T&T

    I mentioned Sarah in my last post but didn’t clarify who that is. Sarah Jane Waddell is a Miss Trinidad & Tobago Universe hopeful and really, in my esteemed opinion (ha) the only woman for the job. I’ve known Sarah since she was about 17 or so and while we aren’t bosom buddies or anything,…

  • What’s The Story, Morning Glory?

    What’s The Story, Morning Glory?

    What’s been going on with my life? Well…between a drag queen pageant, scratching ‘surviving 25 years on this wretched earth’ off my fictional bucket list, starting a new job (praise Jesus) and watching a man fall 120,000 feet to earth…and live…not too much. Yeah, things have been wild, but fun and by far the biggest…

  • ‘Flims’ Fuh Days [Part 2]

    I promised a follow up on my Trinidad & Tobago Film Festival post a week or two ago and now that the festival is over I have some time to do a comprehensive review of the films I was able to see. Taboo Yardies was a film I’d marked off the first day I got the…

  • A Night at Emiliana’s

    A Night at Emiliana’s

    Emiliana Osteria Italiana must be the best kept secret in town – of the Italian variety that is. The intimate and warm Italian restaurant is tucked away on Longden Street, in close vicinity to Lapeyrouse and I don’t doubt that passers-by have often wondered what lay behind the frosted glass facade, a building so starkly…

  • When is a market not just a market?

    When is a market not just a market?

    I love the local creative industry. I couldn’t think of a more emphatic way to make that statement loud and clear. I am absolutely and completely impressed and enamoured by the talent we have residing here in Trinidad & Tobago. It is a discovery I made by cutting my own way through the overgrown mass…

  • “Flims” Fuh Days [Part 1]

    “Flims” Fuh Days [Part 1]

    It’s back! One of my favourite times of year has rolled around again and we’re smack in the middle of the Trinidad & Tobago Film Festival. I’ve always loved films, foreign films in particular. It’s interesting that I feel the same way about our local film industry as I do about ‘World Cinema’ when there’s…

  • Birthday Wishlist

    Birthday Wishlist

    I’ve been told I’m tough to shop for. That could have something to do with the fact that I LOVE a lot of things, but don’t like very many. Unless you have a very keen sense of what it is I love, it’s probably tough to figure out what to get me for those prescribed…
