It's a Slam Dance Saturday Night in Maplewood

Line up your babysitters for a rare Story Slam-Dance Party hybrid.

  It's hard to imagine what could be more scintillating than a Studio B Story Slam, where brave souls metaphorically bare it all for the entertainment of a live audience (and bragging rights for the winner). Well, how about these apples: a Story Slam and Dance Party, rolled into one fantastically fun night?  On Saturday at 8 p.m., Studio B will host said Slam/Dance combo at the Maplewood Woman's Club (not the Burgdorff this time), at 60 Woodland Road.

NSFW? Story Slam Winner Discusses the 'V' Word

Humor columnist Deborah Goldstein wins the Studio B Story Slam with an exploration of a word that makes her — and others — uncomfortable.

Last week, South Orange's own Deborah Goldstein — she of numerous Patch columns and her own Peaches & Coconuts blog — brought home a prize for her writing, winning Studio B's Story Slam contest in Maplewood. Goldstein blew away the competition with her completely clean (no profanity was utilized!), as well as anatomically, grammatically and medically correct discussion of the word vagina and the reproductive functionality of said anatomical part. Yes, there were innuendoes, but we feel comfortable that this is suitable content for Patch. Plus, it's really clever, insightful and funny. So we've uploaded the YouTube video. What do you think?
