Sorry Adele, this dame is MINE. You're not having a stroke, and the above photo isn't a bunch of flawless drag queens. This past weekend at the Oscars, Babs, Adele, and Dame Shirley Veronica Bassey actually did meet and pose for this photo with me. Not at all wanting to dim the shine of these ladies with any further ado, I present to you #OnTheTown: Triple Action Diva Edition!
In an unfortunate turn of events, it seems like Anne Hathaway, not Kyle Thomas Hemingway, will win an Academy Award this Sunday evening. A clerical error, I'm sure—I had my speech prepared and everything! This is just like that time that Suzanne Sugarbaker almost had to reliquish her crown as Miss Georgia World in episode 2.3 of Designing Women. Well, in the grand tradition of all the other peasants who have not won Academy Awards, I will do the next best thing—give you my personal nominations for some favorite Oscar categories—#BostonArts style! So, without further ado, I present to you #OnTheTown: Oscar edition!
Love is in the air, my friends! Although I'm sure that nobody is going to be quite lucky enough to receive a box of chocolates quite as magnificent as the one above, it's unmistakably that time of year where roses, fancy dinners, and heart-shaped boxes reign supreme! What better way to show that special someone you care than with a night out #OnTheTown?! Therefore I present to you #OnTheTown: Valentines Day Edition!
Goodness gracious, #OnTheTown-ers! A storm's a-coming! With many organizations closing and canceling performances tonight, a parking ban in effect, and the MBTA closing at its usual time, how on earth are you supposed to get out #OnTheTown and enjoy the fine arts in Boston?! Never fear, Kyle Thomas is here and Opus Affair has you covered. Here, for your viewing pleasure, are some of my favorite arts YouTube clips! You can go out #OnTheTown without leaving the comfort of your bed, your liquor, or the french toast ingredients you're hoarding in your kitchen.
Well, friends, we've made it—#OnTheTown turns one year old this week! It's the column's paper anniversary! It's been quite a year, we've been through so much together. It's super fun to share my arts-going antics with everyone who reads this blog (which luckily, since its initial publishing, has grown to include people other than my mom).
