Writer Patty Bryant has written several romance novels published under different pen names. In this far-ranging conversation on passion, love and Frida Kahlo Barbie Dolls, she talks about the formula for writing romance novels and defends the virtues of the romance genre, which is the biggest selling fiction market. While she is fully aware of its limitations, she appreciates its ability to brighten the dreariness of everyday life. Not only can it provide a bit of happiness, it can teach us about distant cultures while giving a voice to women whose lives were previously underrepresented in historical literature.
In this episode we talk about the history of paint brushes for our Strange Art Fact. The great great grandson of the founder of Jamerson Whiskey was a total piece of shit. Jessica's redbubble account had some issues and I have some issues with the Patreon app. We talk about our ongoing art auction with Strange Dreams Artist Collective. Some flat earthers and a follow up on episode 46 with the Frida Kahlo Barbie and our next Tarot Card paintings. The PaintingLoft Podcast is about the "Dark Art" community. Exhibitions, Artists, Techniques, Ideas, Scandals & Crimes and all the things worth talking about in the realm the two host participate in. Jessica Perner (Ward) and Scott Holloway are both artists exhibiting their work globally in the field of art that doesn't truly have a title but is widely accepted as "Dark Art".

On this week's LadyWatch agenda: Ryan and Jason mark the momentous occasion that the last 5 years of LadyWatching have been leading up to: Celine Marie Claudette Dion's 50th birthday. It comes with some sad news about the status of her 50th birthday concert in Las Vegas, for which Ryan and Jason hold tickets, but hopefully good news for the future of Celine's third ear (and Liza's only ear). PLUS: Cynthia Nixon's under-qualified lesbian gubernatorial campaign, well-wishes to Lorna Luft on her recent health scare, Kathy Griffin's return from the penalty box, a new Australian TV movie chronicling Olivia Newton John's life (and missing fiancé), Vivienne Westwood's issue with the documentary (not) chronicling her activism, Salma Hayek's issue with the Frida Kahlo Barbie doll, lessons on how to start a cult from Netflix's "Wild Wild Country", a celebration of the celebration of Michelle Obama's celebrated portrait, Dr. Ruth's sniper credentials, why Magda Davitt wants to get rid of Sinead O'Connor, and much much more!
