by BRIAN MILLS on | No Comments

A Series of nearly 100 photographs taken during the month of July in Berlin. Mostly male portraiture this is not a magazine, it’s not a travel diary, it’s not a book…it simply is a series of photographs that document the two dozen people I had the pleasure of photographing.

Dishing it Deadly with Frank DeCaro By Margoh Channing

by MargOH Channing on | No Comments

HTTP://FIERTH.COM – It was pure coincidence for I had just tried one of Liz’s recipes chicken and avocado with mushrooms from this fabulous new read The Dead Celebrity Cookbook by Frank DeCaro. I was burping all the way from the subway while making my way into Christies. Mama ran straight for the caftans! Jewelry or handbags are nice but a caftan that Liz may have spilled a martini or dribbled some pee on is what I want. Now that has value!

Book Report: The Voices of Serial Killers: The World’s Most Maniacal Murderers In Their Own Words

by ElizabethRaymond on | No Comments

HTTP://FIERTH.COM – In Christopher Berry-Dee’s third book devoted to combing the minds of some of the heinous criminals with a fine-tooth comb delivers what turned out to be, hands down, the most disturbing 300 pages of literature I’ve ever read. Parts of his expose literally made me a little sick to my stomach. This presented a dilemma in the grading of Berry-Dee’s book because despite the fact that I didn’t particularly enjoy reading The Voices of Serial Killers, it was impeccably researched and written in a way that masterfully combined hard facts with witty and humorous commentary – a difficult feat given the nature of the topic.

BOOK REPORT: Sex, Drugs, And Cocoa Puffs

by ElizabethRaymond on | No Comments

HTTP://FIERTH.COM – “Sex, Drugs, And Cocoa Puffs” is Klosterman’s personal analysis of all things pop culture. No topic is too mundane or obscure for his dissection. Kloserman explores Pamela Anderson and Billy Joel with the same level of earnestness usually reserved for presidential elections or terrorism. Despite finding his musing vaguely interesting and moderately amusing at times; my tolerance for his writing style and self-deprecating cockiness dwindled as the pages wore on.

GLAAD Interviews Scott Pasfield Creator of GAY IN AMERICA

HTTP://FIERTH.COM – Aaron McQuade: Where did the idea for this book come from?
Scott Pasfield: People always tell you to shoot what you love. You have to start with yourself. The epiphany came one night at home. I was surfing the web and realized what a powerful tool it had become for connecting gay men across the country, from all over, and it just dawned on me. I decided that I would meet men from every state, and photograph them in the hopes that I could do a book that would change opinions and educate. And that started with shooting who I was and what my passions were.
