Pride Journey: South Africa

I first visited South Africa six years ago with a group of friends. It was one of the most incredible journeys I had ever been on, and I knew I wanted to return. I fell in love with Cape Town and of course, all the animals we saw while on safari, so when the opportunity came to visit the country again, I knew I couldn’t pass it up.

Cape Town is one of my favorite cities in the world. Words can’t describe how beautiful the city is especially when you venture outside the city center and explore the beautiful scenic overlooks surrounding the Cape of Good Hope offering stunning views of the Atlantic and Indian oceans.

I stayed at the Capital 15 on Orange, a modern boutique hotel located just outside of the city center which boasts a grand lobby, a fully equipped fitness center, and a wonderful restaurant. Most hotels in South Africa include breakfast so be sure to research those options before you book. The breakfast buffet at the Capital 15 was one of the best I’ve ever had. It will help you save a bit of money even though at the moment, the exchange rate is quite favorable for American tourists.

My favorite aspect of Capital 15 was the room. I’ve stayed in many hotel rooms over the years, and this one comes close to the top of my list. The room features a king-size bed with luxury linens, an enormous bathroom with a walk-in shower and a separate soaking tub as well as unobstructed views of Table Mountain, one of Cape Town’s most famous landmarks.

Creep of the Week: Donald Trump

Quick, look out your window! You may get a fleeting glimpse of our so-called president waving through the window of a hermetically sealed SUV after testing positive for the novel coronavirus because he just Loves! America! So! Much!

Now, while some might say that Trump’s complete disregard for medical advice and disdain for any kind of rules was basically asking to be infected with COVID-19, they would be right. This diagnosis was a hard-fought outcome. It’s nice to see Trump work hard at something for once.

Trump’s positive COVID-19 test naturally caused some concerns. I mean, it’s a generally a bad thing when the president gets sick. Trump being flown to Walter Reed increased anxieties about his health. As did the bizarre videos he posted from the hospital. But, thankfully, Trump is the King of Stamina and Health and Manliness and he’s got a message for America: COVID-19…

Deep Inside Hollywood: ‘Run’ from horror-mom Sarah Paulson

Sarah Paulson Bradley Cooper and Carey Mulligan make music in Maestro

The late, legendary American composer/conductor Leonard Bernstein was gay. He was also married to a woman, Felicia Cohn Montealegre, who understood his homosexuality, and chose to be with him. It was the 1950s, and this sort of thing was not uncommon for queer people, and it makes for a fascinating entry point for a drama about the closet. Enter Bradley Cooper, moving on to his next directorial project after A Star Is Born, with a new film for Netflix called Maestro, in which he’ll star as Bernstein. Joining him on screen as Montealegre will be Carey Mulligan. Cooper’s been working with the Bernstein family for a few years now, developing the project, one that will cover the couple’s…
