Eye On Style: The Shape of Things
Raising the style standard: Seattle Central Community College's Apparel Design program graduates a p
With the popularity of Project Runway, a lot more people are dreaming of careers as the next top clothing designer. After all, they have fabulous imaginations, can whip up a sketch and are always the ones friends consult with when it comes to fashion conundrums. But is that enough to actually get a foot in…
ACT hits Below the Belt
ACT Theatre's Below the Belt delivers a knockout punch to corporate culture. Even better, working st
It seems that sometimes hitting below the belt can be a good thing. ACT Theatre’s Below the Belt by Richard Dresser is currently on stage until June 21 and it’s a timeless take on corporate culture. Anyone who has had to face down a cubicle on a daily basis will appreciate the satire and black humor found…

A Thousand Clowns at the Intiman
No clowning around-the Intiman's current play, A Thousand Clowns, is hilarious! Editorial Assistant
If you suffer from coulrophobia (an exaggerated fear of clowns), that does not mean that you need to avoid Intiman Theatre’s current production of A Thousand Clowns by Herb Gardner. There aren’t actually 1,000 clowns (much to the relief of the costume department! How many shades of plaid and polka dots can you even find!?). There is one,…
Zombies in Port Gamble, Kitsap County
Entrails and brains were flying last week at the Kirkland Performance Center for the SIFF showing of
Entrails and brains were flying last Thursday night at the Kirkland Performance Center for the Seattle International Film Festival showing of ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction. Dubbed a “political zomedy” by local director and co-writer Kevin Hamedani (who was raised in Edmonds and attended the University of Washington), ZMD is a political satire that also…
Seattle has been SIFFted
Robin Williams' new movie, World's Greatest Dad, was filmed in Seattle and recently screened at SIFF
I love imaginary Seattle. No, I don’t mean the Seattle in my mind that has free parking and a winning sports team. I’m talking about Hollywood’s version of Seattle. The Fabulous Baker Boys is amusing because people seemingly teleport all over downtown (I wish I could walk the entire city in under a minute!) and I love Singles…
Grace and Steel: Louise Nadeau retires from PNB
Ballerina Louise Nadeau hangs up her pointe shoes after 19 years of dancing. Editorial Assistant Dea
I was never one of those little girls who wanted to be a ballerina. (This is probably a good thing since my joints are as creaky as a former pro-football player.) Had I seen Louise Nadeau dance when I was younger, however, I think I would have been clamoring for a tutu. Nadeau is a born…
Mayor Supports Potential Street-Food Comeback
Joint city and county food regulations COULD make it easier for street vendors to open up shop downt
Mayor Greg Nickels has teamed up with county health officials in an effort to revise the city’s strict street-food regulations. Since 2003, a city-wide ban on street food has made it difficult for vendors to open up shop in the University District and from Westlake to the stadiums in Sodo, reported The Stranger last week….
Art-on-a-Stick – Portable Goodness!
The Art-on-a-Stick Parade celebrates the launch of Blitz (formerly the Capitol Hill Art Walk). Edito
Sometimes an invention can revolutionize the world. For instance, there is the stick. Ice cream was imprisoned in bowls until the stick transformed it into a portable phenomenon (cake never recovered from the blow). The corn dog? It wouldn’t have any fans if not for the stick. The new-and-improved Capitol Hill Art Walk, renamed Blitz, blitzcapitolhill.com, hopes that the stick…

Tom Robbins’ Rock-star Return to Seattle
It's dark inside and he's wearing sunglasses - hit it! Editorial Assistant Deanna Duff gives the sc
In your twenties, you are the master of being cool (if only in your mind!). Then you look in the mirror one day and there is a full-fledged adult staring back at you! You have a career, 2.5 kids, furniture and even a few gray hairs. You can’t help but wonder whether your coolness went the way of…
Holy Shorts! Day 5, 6, 7 and We Have A Winner!
I survived the final crunch of SIFF short film watching, deliberated with my fellow jurors, and, las
Phew! After watching 1163 minutes of short films over the course of 7 evenings last week, I am happy to report that my fellow jurors and I were able to choose three winners (and two runners up) for SIFF’s ShortsFest… without too much fist fighting. We began our deliberations last night at 9pm, after the final…
Holy Shorts! Day 4: Faith in Shorts Restored
I've reached the halfway point in my quest to watch all 1163 minutes of shorts in SIFF's short film
After the recent grueling set of experimental shorts, the batch of short films I watched last night was refreshingly okay! Nothing during the 3 hours of films either sucked outright or made me feel like I was going to have a stroke. Several were quite good, actually. In the “Response Abilities” showcase, I particularly enjoyed…
