This pick is really just a way to share my new show Mister Romantic. Itās a show I created out of hope and despair. Itās all about love and what it means to love and be loved. It was created to generate empathy (more on that below). It also has singing, dancing, mime work, audience interaction and lots of flirting. Oh and there are some wonderful chocolates we made for you.

This is specifically for NYC people. In Ridgewood Queens there is a hole in the wall high quality chocolate shop.
Itās run by an eccentric and amazing man named Constantine and his wife. He will talk your ear off for a half an hour about āthe benefitsā of chocolate and how itās a panacea for pretty much everything. How big chocolate gives away most of the cocoa butter to the cosmetic industry. Heāll also talk to you about how he asks ChatGPT about chocolate and itās wrong a lot of the time.
Youāll then buy a bar even though itās small and $10. But you will go home and have a little piece after dinner and never taste chocolate the same way againā¦

Their sheer passion to end slavery and exploitation in the cocoa industry is inspiring. I also think that their branding is awesome, and the chocolate is actually really good.
I'm not from the US, so getting this chocolate is costly... but I will never go back to purchase other chocolates. I'm really devoted to them now.
My bf got this variety pack from a recent trip, and my family and I were blown away!! I already purchased another thru amazon :)

āThe world is so distressing and cruel right now, especially with what our leaders are saying, itās almost like comedy and joy is like a flower that needs to be cared for, and it needs to be in a peaceful garden where someone is watering it and taking care of it. I think the answer is empathy, getting people to recognize what binds all human beings together, regardless of their economic status or their race or where they have come from or where they are going, empathy is what is going to get us out of the mess that we are currently in.ā
I said that a few years ago to an interviewer. It holds very true today. Empathy is not overrated. Itās what will make you a better person.
The Union Station organization helps the homeless and thatās a good place to start. Pay it forward. One day you might need some kindness.

Have you ever wanted to feel like a bird when it flies? Well there is a way to do it without risking death. Roller skating! Glide around on a wood oval and experience pure bliss. Youāll feel like a kid again. Or a bird. Itās a win win. The Moonlight Rollerway in Glendale is one of the best roller rinks in the world. Go on Rainbow Night (aka LGBT night) and youāll hear the best music among the most lovely people. Donāt be afraid of gay. It wonāt hurt you.

People might be surprised by this but Iām a real bath slut. I take one almost every day. Itās just such a great place to ruminate and relax. I have played Stanley Kowalski but the truth is Iām more like Blanche DuBois. Iāve thought of so many great ideas in the bath too while listening to music. Maybe my baths are so wonderful because I use this very fancy bubble bath. Itās pricey but worth it and so are you. I buy it at my friendās store in Atwater.
