"My stories" (thank God for Zarf!) and websites, that's been about it for a few days. But I have gathered enough strength to ... http://jessica.jloreview.com/2007/03/28/ethnic-stereotypes-theyre-all-true/ Because there's still love, unsettling race & gender relations, and kitty porn the day after Valentines Day! http://jessica.jloreview.com/2007/02/15/love/ Here is my legacy: Lindsay's in rehab, and this piece's publisher went under before it could be seen in their spring issue. Coincidence? No, obviously not. Clearly this piece, though read by approximately five people, is not only out of date, but DANGEROUS. It pushes starlets ... http://jessica.jloreview.com/2007/01/23/before-you-die-you-see-the-dated-satire/ Stephen Baldwin's God: fond of extreme sports, functional illiteracy; totally cool with eight-ball cravings. Not cool with Clinton, African debt relief, Bono. I present to you the Radar interview with born-again Stephen Baldwin, edited and set to dinosaur imagery.

These two entertainment statements are only at odds if you will have them be. Both are strange and sincere meditations on faith, spirit, and political commitment-- though on opposite sides of the political ... http://jessica.jloreview.com/2005/12/02/the-great-circle-of-life/ A few thoughts on why I love the best studio-propaganda clip movie ever made, the 1974 MGM masterwork "That's Entertainment!" There is a chance you might have missed "That's Entertainment!", as some of you have never been a queeny, sequined old cabaret singer with a taste for the well-arched ... http://jessica.jloreview.com/2005/11/29/do-it-big-do-it-right-give-it-class/ For those without French and/or Spanish, my coined, creatively spelled (and copywrited) name for last night's test-run stuffing loosely translates into "corn mash with sausage" which, I think we can all agree, sounds a lot better in French-Spanish.
