What makes you lustworthy? As far as like me trying to always improve upon myself like everyday. You know spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. I try to take care of myself. I eat right. Corniest pick-up line used on you? I mean I wouldn’t look at it as corny. I laugh about it. It’s pretty…

Mr. Marmalade
Talk of pushing the envelope! BareBone Theatre Group is serving up Noah Haidle’s Mr. Marmalade, a satire that enters the fantasy world of a 4-year-old girl in such an adult fashion that even some New York critics were uncomfortable. James Yost directs an ace cast at Duke Power Studio Theatre that includes Meghan Lowther, Robert…

What makes you lustworthy? Girl, I think I’m the total package. The complete package means in all areas of womanhood: from being domestic to being a homemaker to being a businesswoman to being independent, but at the same time, being vulnerable and knowing when to open up your doors to love. Corniest pick-up line used…

ALL IN THE FAMILY: THE COMPLETE SIXTH SEASON (1975-1976). All In the Family premiered in January 1971, which made it too late to be ranked by the A.C. Nielsen Company for the complete 1970-1971 season. But for the next five seasons, the landmark television sitcom was the top-rated program in the country, a record it…

What makes you lustworthy? Maybe it’s my Asian-ess (She’s Chinese). Corniest pick-up line used on you? They’ll be like, “What’s your name?” I usually make up one because I don’t like to tell ’em my real name. So, yeah, I’ll be like, “[My name is] Emily.” And they’ll be like, “Ooo, that’s a really pretty…

Pisces The Fish: (Feb. 18 — March 19) Mercury is turning retrograde in your sign and will be more likely to affect your daily affairs than many of the other signs. It isn’t easy for you to make decisions in the first place, but don’t even try to finalize anything while a retrograding Mercury is…
A Perry primer
One of the South’s most prolific purveyors of stage and screen, Tyler Perry is most familiar as his alter ego, Madea, a brash-talking African-American matriarch. Don’t expect to see Madea in Tyler Perry’s Daddy’s Little Girls, in which a mechanic (The Wire’s Idris Elba) falls for his successful attorney (Gabrielle Union) during a custody battle…

What makes you lustworthy? One of the things is that people … once they get to know me, I’m nothing like they think that I would be. ‘Cause I had people that [saw] me a year or two previous and they would never talk to me because they perceive me as [an] asshole whatever. And…

Labeling
Some joke around that people should come with labels — not the politically incorrect ones, but the informational ones that could either warn of us of future behavior or confirm our intuition. While this may be a good idea, hopefully human personality labels would not be as complex as the current U.S. Nutritional Labels on…

The Blotter
This week’s Blotter is dedicated to those who threaten. These succinct, if woefully unimaginative, offenses can fill a page when other crimes are either too commonplace (car break-ins) or, sadly, too serious (uh, murder and rape). • A woman reported that someone called her about 100 times within five months, at times threatening her. “I’ll…

“Ya don’t know who to trust,” Wailer Aston “Familyman” Barrett wrote on “Who The Cap Fit,” for Bob Marley’s American breakthrough album, Rastaman Vibration. “Some will eat and drink with you/ … pretend they love you now/ Then behind they try to eliminate you.” When Barrett composed that song in ’76, he didn’t realize how…

Allow me to reintroduce myself
When he bailed out of school at 17, Talib Johnson’s future seemed bleak. Jobless, and homeless, Johnson had to reach deep down to salvage himself from his native Philly’s mean streets. But his confidence in his vocal abilities carried him through the rough times, and in 2000, the newly christened Musiq Soulchild’s Grammy nominated debut,…

What makes you lustworthy? I serve beers in tight clothes. Pretty outgoing. Where are you from? Pennsylvania Differences? It’s a lot warmer. It’s a lot nicer. Corniest pick-up line used on you? Normally I get, “How tall are you? Do you play basketball? How many guys ask for your number a night? Would it be…

Business Minded Thank you so much for your recent column (Boomer With Attitude: “Mind Your Own Business”) in the Jan. 31 issue. I was so happy to see that there is at least one other person in Charlotte who thinks like I do! The bible thumpers out here make me crazy when they use religion as a…

What makes you lustworthy? That’s a good question. I never think of myself like that. I can be very challenging. I leave something to the imagination. I don’t expose myself too much. Corniest pick-up line used on you? You know what guys always say? “Don’t I know you from somewhere?” And I’m like, “No, you…

Dear Karma Cleanser: While vacationing in the Caribbean, I had several crazy nights out in bars. I was partying with my friend Sandy who lives on the island, and she knew all the hotspots. I had quite a few hook-ups with guys I hardly knew. I’m not like that when I’m home; being there just…

Days of Significance
You’re right. The final installment in Royal Shakespeare Company’s 2007 residency at Davidson College, Days of Significance, was not written by the Bard. But Roy Williams’ new work, presented here in its American premiere, was inspired by Much Ado About Nothing. Action is transplanted to an English market-town — and the deserts of Iraq –…

What makes you lustworthy? I think people like coffee more than me. They like to drink. I provide the coffee. That’s all it is. Handcuffs or scarves? Handcuffs. A little more rock ‘n roll. Who would you vote for: Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton? Neither one, to be honest with you. I’m down for any…

One man Star Wars
Can Charles Ross, the mastermind who performs his own One Man Star Wars, really be serious? Or is the Canadian actor, in fact, making a mockery of the stupendous George Lucas trilogy? The answer is a resounding yes! Half homage and half satire, Ross reduces the long-ago faraway galaxy and its titanic confrontations to a…

Luvanmusiq
Talib Johnson, famously known as Musiq Soulchild, took his cues from D’Angelo and even Stevie Wonder in the early days. Musiq has developed his own style of neo-soul over the course of several recordings. There’s a dash of jazz, a touch of funk and plenty of R&B-styled laid back grooves with some fine crooning, though…

What makes you lustworthy? I don’t know. Just my personality. I’m real flirtatious. I can talk to anybody. Most romantic thing you’ve ever done? I bought a dozen roses and spread the petals all over the living room, had a candlelight dinner. This is when I was a little younger, maybe 19 or 20. I…

What makes you lustworthy? Oh, God, I don’t think anything makes me lustworthy. I think maybe the fact that I don’t think I’m lustworthy makes me lustworthy.
