It’s fall and for a lot of people — myself included — that means it’s time for football. (Go Ducks!) But these days it’s not just a matter of college or pros. There’s also the two-year-old Lingerie Football League, which launched a Las Vegas franchise this fall called Vegas Sin. The question: Is this just…
Last night, Slut Walk Las Vegas made some serious noise on The Strip. With an escort from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department at every turn, approximately 200 people rallied at the Erotic Heritage Museum and walked to The Mirage and back (approximately two miles round-trip). While the crowd was mostly young people, there were…
Tomorrow is SlutWalk Las Vegas, the local grassroots event modeled after the similarly named Slut Walks that have been happening across North America since earlier this year. Here’s the background: SlutWalk originated in Toronto in April as a march in response to the recommendation by police officers that if young women wanted to avoid sexual…
*TRIGGER WARNING* Is it just me or has there been an explosion of sexual violence cases in the news lately? What the hell is going on out there?! A 15-year-old girl was raped and brutally murdered (multiple stab wounds and the body was set on fire!) while walking home in her neighborhood this week. Her…
When news broke on Thursday that the Las Vegas Review Journal was — at that very moment — handing people their final checks and escorting them to the door as part of cost-cutting layoffs, it sent a little chill up my spine. As most regular SCS readers know, I’m a former journalist. But this news…
News you can use: I am so deeply sickened by this story, which you may have heard by now, about the middle school girl who was forced to write a letter of apology to her (fellow student) rapist. And we can call him a rapist, because he was convicted of the act in a juvenile…
It is my delight to share with you that a new greeting card company has opened that caters to the LGBT community. It is called Teazled and is owned by a wonderful couple right here in Las Vegas. (Full disclosure: I am friends with them and they go to my church.) I encourage anyone who…
So, the Electric Daisy Carnival is coming to Las Vegas this weekend, bringing an estimated 250,000 – 300,000 people with it. For the uninitiated (like me), EDC is a three-day giant electronic music festival and carnival with hundreds of acts, six dance areas (at last count) and much more. (*Las Vegas CityLife has an excellent…
I have wonderful news to share! The coloring book and crayon drive for kids on chemo was a tremendous success! As you know, friends and fans donated 50 books and boxes of crayons. But I am happy to report that is a drop in the bucket of the total amount collected: 700 books and 400…
With The Legislature ending a week ago, it is tempting to think we can all go on a little mini-break from politics. (I know I could use one!) But it turns out, Nevada may be in its biggest fight, yet. I’m talking about redistricting. Because Democrats and Republicans were deadlocked on an agreement on new…
