Can’t say we’re surprised about this one. It feels like every time we hear about Dennis Rodman these days, it’s because of something he’s doing in conjunction with a strip club. And his latest business venture is no different. The recent Hall of Fame inductee is starting a topless women’s basketball team with the HeadQuarters Gentleman’s Club in New York City. Rodman got the idea after another NYC jiggle joint Rick’s Cabaret started a basketball league during the NBA lockout that has since been disbanded.
“I don’t know too many men that don’t like a good-looking woman running up and down around the court,” Rodman told the New York Post recently.
Especially when that good-looking woman happens to be topless, right? “They’ll come out in a T-shirt or a tank top,” Rodman said, “but when the game starts, they’ll go topless.”

On Sunday, January 15 at 1 p.m., the Garibaldi-Meucci Museum’s Terza Domenica Heritage Series will continue with the screening of “Marriage Italian Style.” This 1964 Vittoria DeSica film, starring Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni, was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and garnered Loren her second nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role.
The film tells the story of a successful yet cynical businessman who meets a naïve country girl one night in a brothel during World War II. Their on-again, off-again relationship continues for decades. To prevent him from marrying a younger woman, she feigns illness and asks him to marry her “on her deathbed.” She survives, and reveals to him the reason for her charade—one of her three sons is his, but she won’t tell him which one.

Of course, all of this works so well because the art on the book is by the incredible Becky Cloonan. She’s long been one of my favourite artists, and this comic helps show how diverse she can be, drawing realistic scenes (the first page is a bit of a hint as to what her Conan could be like) and amusing, cartoonish ones with skill. I love the double-page spread of Zaboo running through his house. This is good stuff.

Now that the characters and situation are established, this series is really starting to take off.

This was the first video shoot for the re-launched Jacques Magazine, and Danielle Leder had to get it right. She had to produce content to show that the magazine still existed. She had to create something that didn’t stray from Jacques’ well-established aesthetic. And she would do it without the magazine’s co-founder and her husband, 38-year-old Jonathan Leder, who at that moment was somewhere near Tampa shooting a movie about a stripper running from a serial killer. He was in Florida while his wife was in New York because they were in the process of separating. Over the course of the year, their marriage had disintegrated, just as the magazine’s momentum had slowed to a crawl.

Personal stories abound in the photos. Places they lived and stayed, the strip club at which she worked before modeling, the life she led that became the inspiration for hundreds of images.
