The Guardian:
Alexander Devriendt was at a standup show with his girlfriend a couple
of years ago, when the comedian on stage unexpectedly turned on her,
calling her a bitch and telling her to sweep up the stage, since that
was all she was good for. She professed not to mind, but Devriendt was
infuriated, not least because he couldn't retaliate. "Because it would
seem like I wasn't getting the joke. I hated that feeling," he says,
still bristling. "I felt so unmanly."
Hollywood Reporter:
Julie Taymor's lawsuit against producers of Spider-Man: Turn Off the
Dark might be a much bigger deal than most people realize. The initial
media coverage of the suit Tuesday presents Taymor's claims as a dispute
over owed royalties -- which is certainly part of what the director is
seeking, but not all of it. In fact, as strange as it sounds, Taymor's
million dollar claims are obscuring the potentially billion dollar ones.
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: The florescent pink hair gives her away.

Rhodes' locks are as vibrant as her personality -- and the clothing she
designs. "People often ask me if I am dressed up for Halloween, and I
tell them that I actually look like this all the time," Rhodes, the
internationally renowned fashion designer, says with a smile. "I have
had my share of people calling me 'Cyndi Lauper,' too, and I tell them I
am old enough to be her mother. Recently, I have been stopped in
airports in the U.S., and people have commented that they like my hair.
So, maybe, things are changing. I think young people are more receptive
to you looking different."
USITT Sightlines:
In 2008, I was the set designer for a production of Into the Woods. It
was produced on our main stage, a 51-foot proscenium. It was a big set,
done in a fairly traditional way for that show. A local high school was
producing the same play a few months after us. We were able to give them
a lot of scenery that we would otherwise have thrown away. It was nice
to see so much scenery get used a second time.
