Hey all, I wrote a review of Elisa Camiscioli's wonderful new book _Selling French Sex: Prostitution, Trafficking, and Global Migrations_ in the latest issue of the Journal of Modern History. The book is a fascinating read. www-journals-uchicago-edu.proxy048.nclive.org/doi/10.1086/...

Let’s talk about the architecture of Wicked.

At first, I was intrigued by the shift of the depiction of Oz from Art Deco (in The Wizard of Oz, 1939) to Art Nouveau.
But after seeing the movie, I can’t stress how absolutely brilliant production designer Nathan Crowley is.

Josseli is one of at least two pregnant Texas women who died after doctors delayed emergency care. She’d told her husband that the medical team said it couldn’t act until the fetal heartbeat stopped.
