Herb Ritts (1952-2002) was a leading American fashion photographer in the 1980s and 1990s, known for his bold, sensual images of supermodels and celebrities.  The MFA exhibit which opens later this week revisits the artist, whose 1996 retrospective “Herb Ritts:  WORK” remains one of the museum’s most popular exhibitions to date.

British series Cucumber and Banana comes to Logo TV

Vincent Franklin as Henry in Russell T Davies’s new drama Cucumber Photo: Channel 4

Welsh T.V. producer and screenwriter, Russel T Davies, who gave us the 1999 mini series Queer As Folk, is bringing his new shows Cucumber and Banana to the US on Logo TV.   The first episodes of Cucumber and Banana will air after RuPaul’s Drag Race on Monday, March 2 at 10pm ET/PT. The two shows will then return for their official season premieres on April 13.

According to the press release, “The two interwoven drama series will explore 21st century gay life in all its powerful, witty, dark and uplifting guises through the lens of two disparate generations.”  I’ll admit I’m curious to check out this series. The original UK eight episode series QAF was pretty shocking and pushed the envelope. The US series sort of lost its way as Showtime tried to expand that initial storyline but its in-your-face unapologetic look at gay life in the late 90s had a frenetic energy.  Theo Merz who writes to the UK paper, The Telegraph, feels neither series lives up to QAF but I’d still like to check it out and decide for myself. If you live in the Boston area is Channel 281.  If you live elsewhere, check with your local provider to see if they carry Logo-TV.
