...soon-to-be-defunct address on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue was perfect for the tone of classy depravity that the magazine tries to project and that made it acceptable to a more sophisticated type of reader who might otherwise be embarrassed to be associated with porn. This is not about the objectification of women, it said, it's about harmless fun. And some good journalism. But with the anonymity and impermanence of the Internet (no more telltale boxes of magazines under the bed), there's less appetite for Playboy's now almost coy-seeming nudity. A girlie magazine located...
...processed. Yet sugar is okay. Sucrose is okay. It's only when you get to maltodextrin (a group of low-molecular-weight carbohydrates produced by the hydrolysis of starch) that people start saying, 'Wait a minute, that's going too far.'"

Inspired by Federico Fellini?...

And so “Aurélia’s Oratorio” manages to stay pitch-perfect, with a few exceptions. In one of the weaker moments, a disco ball appears onstage, and the generally unobtrusive score switches to an accordion-inflected circus song with fairly raunchy lyrics. The segment is too patently weird, and it belies the elegant and understated nature of the rest of the production...
