My doula asked me the other day, “What else do you need me to know to create the environment you need for birth?” And she asked in a moment that caught me off guard, so the answer wasn’t sitting at the tip of my tongue. (Unusual for a woman who’s always sharp on tongue and answers. ;)) […]

INSTANT manifestation
This past steamy Saturday night, drenching myself in ice cubes in my West Village apartment… (we do not have a/c right now, and if you don’t know it— pregs women have higher body temp than normal… AND we have been in a heat wave in NYC…) I sweatily and lustily wished: I need to be […]

>In a dimly lit, midtown ballroom, I stood high heeled, spruced, glammed, trying to eek out one more night on the town in a last season Nanette Lepore purple leopard-print dress. There’s a movie star, there’s our gala’s honoree, there’s another movie star, here are many of my friends and colleagues in the theatre world—successful […]
