Manhattan Digest’s Oscars Review: Hair & Makeup Edition!
Alright, so was it just me or did everyone at the Oscars look like they did their own hair and makeup themselves this year? Ironically that might make the rest of us common folk feel better. If this is some kind of new motivational movement where “You are enough,” then great, keep it up. If this is not a “thing,” then stop hiring people off Instagram to do your hair and makeup. I have no idea what I was really expecting this season, but this wasn’t it. It ain’t cute; it was a little disappointing actually.

Kunio Ichinose Introduces Ikinari Steak to The Big Apple!
Japan surely has an infatuation with all things American. This is unmistakable if you have seen like any show or movie set in the island nation.

Why the Queer Urban Orchestra is Vital & Bright For Our Community
The Queer Urban Orchestra is an amazing example about how the arts in Manhattan are far from dead, and how they are rather thriving in this bustling city that I love so much. I did not know about its existence up until a couple of weeks ago, when one of its members and principal second violin James Teal invited me to their first concert in 2017. Upon my exit from the concert was where I truly realized just how important organizations like this are, not only to the world of arts but to our amazing LGBTQ community and its supporters.

CharityBuzz is Auctioning Michael Bolton (and He’s Waiting for You)
Michael Bolton is a multi-Grammy Award winning vocalist with global appeal and album sales that have yielded over 60 million. He’s also been a staunch social activist, lending his time and services to his organization, The Michael Bolton Charities supporting women & children at risk. You’d think with all that he’s accomplished, he’d be sitting on top of the world. Lately however, he’s been a bit melancholy and keeps returning to the the same question he posed in 1989: “How Am I Supposed To Live Without You?” Yes. You, Dear Reader. Michael Bolton needs you to be his “soul Provider”—and here is how you can help him get “back on his feet again.” [Read more…] about CharityBuzz is Auctioning Michael Bolton (and He’s Waiting for You)
