...they are friends again. They have bonded over mutual horror at the high-profile violence of the past year, beginning with the Shepard murder and culminating in September, when seven Christian young people were murdered at a Baptist church in Fort Worth, Texas.

Elusive, but fascinating. The creator of such enchantingly lyrical and devastatingly sensual works as My Mother's House and Cheri was a mentor to many but a horror to her own daughter.

...flygirls plan on doing the scene where Jesus comes before Herod in dominatrix-chic, complete with fishnet stockings and rhinestone brassieres (the scene was often treated in previous productions as a cross between a vaudeville soft-shoe and soft-core porn as envisioned by the cast of The Rocky Horror Picture Show). In the scene where Jesus is flagellated prior to his crucifixion, the flygirls re-enact what can only be described as climaxing, sensually twisting and turning in sync with the cracks of the whip...
