Mrs. Keppel and Her Daughter
By Diana Souhami
338 pages, hardcover, new
Review:
Violet could handle all forms of punishment from society and her peers
for her lesbianism, but she could not deal with the punishment from her mother whom she adored.
"An electrifying study of
Mrs. Keppel - famously King Edward VII's mistress - and of her daughter Violet Trefusis - notoriously Vita Sackville- West's
lover. This dark and gothic tale of passion and cruelty, of an indomitable mother and a frail daughter, is the more shocking for its
imperturbable, elegant settings - Biarritz, London drawing rooms, Florentine Villas and English country houses." Daily

I'm The One That I Want
By Margaret Cho
THE VIDEO!
Review:
Very gay oriented stand-up comedy from the
riotously funny, self-professed "faghag" Margaret Cho.
Margaret Cho takes the stage in San Francisco
where the audience is largely composed of Asian-Americans
and gay/lesbian people. These are her people - they worship
her - Margaret's totally gay oriented schtick is perfect here -
and for our customers as well! Cho's jokes are funny and
there appears to be plenty of improvisation for those of you
who have seen this great comic before. For about half of the
routine Margaret Cho explains how and why she is a faghag,
for about 15 more minutes she mocks her mother (who was
seeing her daughter's act for the first time) and she concludes
with a revelatory session telling us of her short-lived career
on network TV. Most humor comes from pain and Margaret
Cho's is no exception. The tale of her cancelled television
series and her subsequent problems with drugs, alcohol and
weight loss may bring a ring of recognition from many
viewers.
Created by and starring Margaret Cho (TV’s All-American Girl, Face/Off, It’s My Party), this
critically acclaimed and hysterically funny live performance presents the comedian at her
stand-up best. This film is based on the show that was named one of Entertainment
Weekly’s "Great Performances of 1999" and won New York Magazine’s "Performance of the
Year Award".
