This post contains major spoilers for non book readers, you’ve been warned! I originally published this piece back in April, and one of my readers asked if I would update and publish it again just before the Season 3 premiere. Guess what guys, IT’S JUST BEFORE THE SEASON 3 PREMIERE!!! Did you ever think it […]
A Potential Role for Outlander Fan Lou Diamond Phillips in Season 4
Celebrity fans become just as excited and passionate as the rest of us when it comes to Outlander. The most prominent celeb fan in our community is of course William Shatner, whose Charity Horse show is this weekend. There is still time to buy a raffle ticket for $5.00 for a chance to win an Outlander […]
Kilted Haka, A Beautiful Male Ritual
Photo: Stevie Weir, courtesy Daily Record There’s something magical about the Haka for me. It’s a primal male ritual that just feels right. It celebrates healthy male aggression in a communal setting. I feel like we’ve made male aggression “bad” in our culture here in the US, and that reality is a source of suffering for […]
