Theatre, Classic Film, Travel, Life in California (and sometimes New York). When I started this channel I was exploring interesting "insider" aspects of life in New York City. Now that I've moved to Northern California the essay topics have shifted, though I still retain a focus on pop culture--especially as it relates to the theatre and classic film. I also chronicle my travels and life in California. Regardless of the topic I'm here to be entertaining and fun.

Hey Gang! Has anyone here NOT seen my Pre-Code classic film video montage? It's got a whopping 3.6 million views now! It's a fun ride through a lot of great racy lines of dialogue from 1930 to 1934 when all bets were off with movie content.
