New Writing All Over the Place
Where to find it:
New Spring Endorsements, including lots of broccoli recipes, on Virginia Quarterly Review. Plus my long form piece on “The Rules of the Game: 100 Years of Hollywood Publicity.”
On Slate: Photoplay‘s feature on ”The Best Figure of 1931.” (Winner: Lupe Velez!)
For The Awl: “You, Me, and Star Trek: The Next Generation,” “What Your Gap Fragrance Said About You,” and “Crash: The Most Loathsome Best Picture of Them All.”
For Laptham’s Quarterly: “The Hollywood Canteen” (Bette Davis ran that game).
On Avidly.org: “Trade in Your Sexiest Men.”
The most recent Scandals of Classic Hollywood on The Hairpin:
“Ronald Reagan Plays the President”
“The Most Wicked Face of Theda Bara”
“In Like Errol Flynn”
“The Many Faces of Barbara Stanwyck”
And what I’m most excited about: writing about the artists of Lilith Fair with Simone Eastman, also for The Hairpin. Tracy Chapman is already published; Natalie Merchant is forthcoming in a matter of days.
Oh, did you know I have a book COMING SOON-ISH?!?
Finally, the chair of my department and I have been doing a podcast, and we’re finally not totally embarrassing. In our latest episode, we talk about the premiere of Mad Men and Spring Breakers, amongst many other things. Subscribe if you feel inclined.

A friend and I were just talking about your Classic Hollywood series and saying that we wish your courses were in iTunesU or that you had a podcast. I’ve just subscribed!
