Fragmented Frida ****

By: Paulanne Simmons

Considering how few women, until modern times, have become artists, it’s easy to see why Frida Kahlo is such a fascinating figure. Not only is Kahlo noteworthy for her self-portraits that link pre-Columbian and Christian symbols, she was also praised by the likes of André Breton who considered her a feminine force within the Surrealist Movement. And she was the wife of the famed Mexican muralist Diego Rivera.

Professional Bull Riders

Edge-of-the Seat Action Hits Town as the Professional Bull Riders Buck-Off Returns @ Madison Square Garden

By: Ellis Nassour

Want to ring in the New Year with a buck instead of a bang? Then the
place to be is with the international bull riders – but, unless you are brave and wear chaps, on the sidelines. NYC gets a huge influx of brawn and bravado in addition to winter chill for three intense days, January 6-8, as the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) mount and bravely try to stay on monster bulls for eight seconds. Sounds easy, you say! Not on your life!
