...salt-and-pepper mix with a few pure white streaks around my face, which I call nature's highlights. I think it's sexy, and I'm blessed with a husband who thinks so too. It's not hair color that earns you respect; it's belief in yourself. Violet Forsyth, Lawrence, Kansas...

The theme of angst also pervaded Lan Tran’s reading, a performed monologue of runaway-cum-pickpocket Violet from Tran’s solo show “Elevator/Sex,” which premiered off-Broadway last May and foregrounds the similarities between the experiences of 9/11 survivors and victims of sexual abuse. After taking a moment to put herself in character, the sunny Tran emerged...
