Dash Around Town: Hope Gallery’s Anita Trezvant, Imago and The Wilson Collection
Art Galleries in this economic climate are really small miracles that require real same, business sensibilities and luck up the yin-yang. Anita Trezvant has most of that working for her.

Lunar Notes
Aries: This period begins with some startling conversation that opens your mind to new possibilities. As you assimilate all this, opportunities for new friendships, new romance and new professional relationships present themselves. There’s a feminine influence on your career trajectory that is quite favorable. Taurus: You can’t seem to get away from conversations about money […]
Girls, Girls, Girls: How the Art World Sees Women Today
Some things I learned about women from “SHE: Picturing Women at the Turn of the 21st Century,” the exhibition on view at Brown University’s Bell Gallery (64 College St, Providence, through Dec 21): Women have big breasts, big butts and they like to lie around.

Pin-up: Kristen Minsky
Do you have a nickname? Most people call me “Minsky,” like we are on a football team, rather than neo-Vaudeville performers, which makes me laugh. What do you never leave home without? My Besame “Red Hot Red” lipstick. I wear a lot of black and animal prints, and the red pop (especially in the winter) cheers […]
