Hey, Mansome
Hey, Mansome by AnneLise Sorensen “Super Size Me” director Morgan Spurlock turns his attention from McDonald’s to mustaches in the new documentary “Mansome,” which explores men’s grooming, from manicures to manscaping. What does it mean to be a man? That’s the central question – esoteric but earnest – in the film. The second question of […]
The “Hipster Apocalypse” is Here
October 9, 2012
The “Hipster Apocalypse” is Here by AnneLise Sorensen “Hipsters Illegally Killed Upstate Deer While Making Hipster Apocalypse Movie.” Those were the kind of headlines that preceded the premiere of the film “First Winter,” which opened this year. But, as they say, there’s no such thing as bad publicity – and the deer-hunting only whetted the […]
Cat Woman
September 8, 2012
Cat Woman by AnneLise Sorensen Much like her name, which means “cat” in Romany, Kali Mutsa has several lives. By day, she’s Celine Reymond, a successful Chilean soap opera actress. By night, she performs as her alter ego, Kali Mutsa, who, as her bio explains, “was born sometime in August 1920, in the Valley of […]

April 21, 2012
Frej: Nordic in Brooklyn by AnneLise Sorensen Most pop-ups have a strong whiff of a marketing ploy. Frej just has a strong whiff of dill and elderflower. This sprightly new Scandinavian pop-up has been quietly turning out nightly dinners, Monday to Wednesday, at Kinfolk Studios in Brooklyn. The cuisine, like a perfectly crafted piece of […]
The Ungovernables in NYC
March 10, 2012
The Ungovernables in NYC by AnneLise Sorensen The Bowery used to be one of the more rebellious addresses in NYC. At the New Museum, it still is. In the 1970s, the Bowery was home to the punk club CBGB, plus more than a few brothels. These days, it’s Whole Foods, with its arugula salad bar […]
Banderas & Almodóvar: The Skin I Live In
October 29, 2011
The Skin I Live In by AnneLise Sorensen There’s an unspoken rule about celebrities in New York City: When you see them, you ignore them. Or at most, you acknowledge them with a certain bored disdain. That didn’t happen last week with Antonio Banderas. We were invited, along with a group of NY journalists, to […]
