Five years ago tomorrow, and one month into a global pandemic, I launched the Starfire Lounge on April 19, 2020 as a tribute to my love of Michelle Pfeiffer’s Susie Diamond and the movie The Fabulous Baker Boys.

Somehow I missed it all these years, but recently caught it streaming … Continue reading Lost and Found: Just Before Dawn
