Cap'n's Cabaret #14: Paris through British Eyes

Civilization at last! A narrow escape from Vichy Casablanca (thank god for those papers!) to Lisbon brings us at last to London, the city of foggy streets and eternal landmarks that, like the tower ravens, will never leave this fair city: Big Ben, Westminster Cathederal, and eternal London Bridge. But here, we remember Paris and dance like Americans.Yes, tonight we swing…See More

Cap'n's Cabaret #12: C'est la Vie...

Au revoir, Paris, it was grand. The lights, the wine, the food, the music...but alas, all things must end. And with panzers rolling through the Ardennes there is but little time to make our retreat to sunnier climes. But first, one last toast to the France that was... We kick back now on a streetside cafe in Nice with a cocktail and the sorrowful music of the great Edith Piaf. It may be springtime…See More

Cap'n's Cabaret #11: Paris Chéri!

Bienvenue, my friends, and welcome to gay Paris, city of lights, glamor, and sensuality!  Fashionably late (those Berlin nights really fly by, don't they?), but the Cabaret is back. And this time Bohemian sophistication and savage sensuality are on the menu as we explore the glory and abandon of Paris, partying like the world may end, for dark clouds gather in the east and all of the nation is up in arms for fear of another Great War.…See More

Romance, Sex, Noir: the Art of Jack Vettriano

Thumbnail
In 2005 a painting sold at auction in London for a staggering 744,000 pounds.  It was not a Monet or Van Gogh or Picasso, but The Singing Butler, by Scottish artist Jack Vettriano.  One of the best-selling prints of all time, the Butler has made Vettriano a living art legend. The Singing Butler (his most famous) Vettriano's works share a common retro theme, roughly Diesel to early Atomic…See More

Cap'n's Cabaret #6: Nowheresville, Nevada

Hot, dry, and stranded here at the Cabaret today. Our trip out west to California has been delayed, seeing as we're broken down in a little one-horse nowhere town in the Nevada desert called Las Vegas. It's a small little Hillbilly town with pretentions of glamor, a small dirty strip of seedy casinos full of tired dancing girls and rotgut whisky, like some remnant of the Old West. Now this fellow out of New York named Benjamin Siegel says there's real hope for this place, claiming he'll make it…See More
