The Enchanters is so complex, multilayered, and full of characters that there is a four-page list of characters at the end as well as a glossary of police and criminal terms, codes, and abbreviations. full of secrets that Otash helped to create. What follows is a wild romp through a multiplicity of cultural and political spheres that perfectly encapsulates the dirty, ruthless L.A. Everyone has an agenda, and they all want something from Otash.

The Enchanters marks the return of Freddy O, a disgraced ex-LAPD cop and Confidential magazine dirt digger turned shifty private investigator and Hollywood fixer. James Ellroy's The Enchanters is classic Ellroy: a filthy, boozy, fast-paced, violent romp through the history and important figures of early 1960s Los Angeles, all told in Otash's frantic voice. So is Freddy Otash, and he's trying to dig up the most important dirt of his infamous career.

They will charge you at the airport if you fail to print your boarding passes. So board your bus, but make sure before you do, you print your boarding passes for your flights! Tip Seven: budget airlines ensure that boarding their planes are simple (if you have carry-on luggage and print!) so make sure you abide by it. You can make it and on-time with the convenient bus connections that are all detailed on your budget airline’s website when you book your flight. My point? Don’t let a distant airport discourage you. I took a bus for £14 round-trip that ran all night from central London. For me to get to Sweden I had to go to Stansted – no not the well-known Gatwick or Heathrow – airport. not the main hub) which leads to tip six: all of the budget airlines have websites for transport information to and from the random airports. These cheap flights usually fly in and out of distant airports (i.e. That done the next task is finding your flight. Get some culture and give your arms a rest.

To travel light a quick tip three is to: make sure you pack clothes all in one colour category (i.e. It would have cost me more to check a bag to Stockholm than checking myself in! £30 for my bag! The clothes can stay in London. Tip two is Ryanair and Easy Jet (two major budget, European airlines) charge for checked bags. I mean only ONE carry-on bag (and by one I mean no computer bar and purse combo. So tip one is: look at your self in the mirror and ask yourself: Can I really travel light? And I don’t mean one checked bag instead of two. Which brings me to my cheap trip column this week: traveling budget airlines (the only way to travel under $100 outside of Britain). And it is….but….butttttt well you read about my layering. For £20 or $47 I had a return flight (which takes about two hours one way) to Stockholm, Sweden. Yes I wrote that!īut Robyn, what about taxes? Ha. That’s because I had found a flight for £10 to Stockholm on budget, Ryanair’s website. The second? Well that one saw me sweating the small things (yes I even managed to fit my computer charger in my jacket) to board my flight to Stockholm, Sweden. Ok it was $130, but that was round-trip so really only $65 one-way! See I told you counting your miles can be helpful! The first? That was last week’s Frequent Flyer flight to London. ![]() Why? Because I’m currently based in London trying to find ten cheap trips (less than $100) from and in this city. For what? Well that’s what this week’s Rock Fever Column is about: Budget Airlines. Now I just had to overcome the heat and fainting feeling as I walked to immigration. My low-cost harasser told me I was free to board now that I weighed an extra kilo.

In fact, she found the experience liberating – posing for her own portrait, too.

Laura Dodsworth, whose own vulva appears among her portraits. Some women were shaking, asking me if they were normal.” “This time, women were revealing themselves to themselves. “I feel like men were revealing themselves to a woman, in a sympathetic space,” Dodsworth says. For many women, being photographed was the first time they had looked at this part of their body in close detail. This gap in knowledge may also be responsible for the growing numbers of people who undergo labiaplasty: according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, there was a 40% increase in procedures in the US between 20.ĭodsworth’s vulva shoots were a very different experience from Manhood. Meanwhile there is a pervasive squeamishness about vulvas, which may be one factor behind the fact that, in England, cervical smear test rates are at their lowest for two decades. It’s also a part of the body we know relatively little about – historically, there has been a lack of scientific understanding about the clitoris, about orgasms, sexual pleasure. If you’re a straight woman, you don’t see many.” And, as she writes in her book, they’re not easy to look at: “Let’s be honest, it’s tricky to witness our vulvas for ourselves, legs awkwardly astride pocket mirrors, bums shuffled up close to full-length mirrors, or taking a selfie with the unflattering lens of a smartphone.” Vulvas are rarely seen outside porn and childbirth, which Dodsworth puts down partly to their position on the body. But the more she thought about photographing women’s vulvas, the more necessary she felt it was. The photographer has described the series as an “unexpected triptych” she didn’t know the project would take this direction at the start (and, when it was first suggested to her, she didn’t want it to). It’s the third instalment in a series: in Bare Reality and Manhood, Dodsworth photographed and talked to people about their breasts and their penises, respectively (both stories featured in Weekend magazine). In a book and accompanying film for Channel 4, she tells the stories of 100 women and gender non-conforming people through portraits of their vulvas. It’s this shame that photographer Laura Dodsworth is aiming to overcome with her latest project, Womanhood. I felt a deep sense of shame about my body, which over time became crippling. At 25, I’d spent years considering labiaplasty and having sex with the lights off, because of things ignorant boys had said, as well as some of my friends. Towards the end of last year, I published an essay about my vulva – in a book, and then in the Guardian. |
