RIP Heather MacAllister. "Any time there is a fat person onstage as anything besides the butt of a joke, it’s political. Add physical movement, then dance, then sexuality and you have a revolutionary act.” Founder of
Big Burlesque and Venus Group, she died Feb 13 after a long fight with ovarian cancer. She was notably
photographed by
Leonard Nimoy. Multiple
memorial services are planned for her birthday, Feb 25.

Mr. Spock's Nudes David Bowman talks to 72-year-old
Leonard Nimoy about Leonard Cohen's music, the famous Vulcan hand sign, and his movie career, but especially about his
new book of female nude photographs, and how they relate to the Kabbalistic idea of Shekhinah. Nimoy comes across as more than a little flaky (but that's
nothing new); turns out he can also be thoughtful, perceptive, and dryly funny.
