Conversation with Khaya Dlanga
Q:What do you do for a living? A: I feed my soul. I do things that make me feel happy and glad while I do them. Sometimes I don’t have that feeling, but I know that the feeling won’t last long because whatever I do is part of who I am. Currently I am responsible...

Hoarder of Things …
Once a year, I go through my closet – okay, closets – and give away clothes I no longer want. This year, for the first time, I gave away some clothes, not because I didn’t want them, but because they no longer fit me. It was hard, because it wasn’t really about letting go of...

One Night in, er… Heaven?
The worst thing about a one-night stand is looking for your underwear the morning after. You don’t know where to look, mostly because you’re seeing the room for the first time.

Deep Throat had created America’s first porn star in 1972, but by 1974 Linda Lovelace was already retired and the industry was seeking the next big thing. Vanessa del Rio should have...

Envy
Need… The ghost flourishes amongst the living. I am invisible in the worlds I live in; trivial and pedately belligerent. I shared a million more opinions than I should have – the self-righteous expediently label me a hoodwink and the free-spirited have an array of designations for me that range from cold-stone to rebel.

Letters To My Younger Sisters …
Dear Miss Little Girl You’re cute and everything: and display a great amount of intellect and your sway is quite impressive, but I’m sorry to have to tell you that you are not the queen of all you survey. You particularly have no ownership over that sweet boyfriend of yours (or the women he will...
