 "Freak Like A Model," the video for which exclusively premiered on PAPER, features Uncle Meg and muse/model, Clara Rae in Uncle’s hometown of Charleston, West Virginia. Kat Skaff, Uncle’s sister, shot the entire video under Uncle’s direction. Locations feature the Skaff’s grandmother’s house, her house helper relaxing on the couch, and the abandoned house across the street by the Kanawha River that has been for sale for nearly ten years. This light-hearted love song is about Uncle Meg’s first moments of falling in love with Clara Rae. The video is about finding someone who understands you and your quirks even if the outside world doesn’t. Uncle Meg aka Meg Skaff has received praise from Nylon, who called her song "Uncle Freestyle" "a rapid-fire anthem for not giving a fuck" and Bitch says "it seems like the rhythm of rap comes naturally to her. Her normal inflection emphasizes the backbeat, the second and fourth syllables of her words, and she’s able to spit out lyrics with enviable speed, as the the track ‘Angel Dust’ makes clear."

Dennis Beaver, founder and curator of the Tennessee Williams Key West Exhibit at 513 Truman Ave., spearheads the annual Tennessee Williams Birthday Celebration in recognition of the famed playwright's birthday. Born March 26, 1911, Williams lived in Key West with his partner Frank Merlo and helped shape the island's literary culture. After a March 2 kick-off party at the Key West residence of Beaver and his partner, Bert Whitt, the celebration continues with Monday night screenings of three Williams films at Key West's Tropic Cinema, 416 Eaton St. Scheduled are "The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone" set for 6 p.m. March 7, "The Fugitive Kind" at 6 p.m. March 14 and "Summer and Smoke" at 6 p.m. March 21, followed by a5:30 p.m. reception and film forum March 28.

In addition, both professional and recreational painters are encouraged to enter a challenge that celebrates one of Williams' favorite pastimes. Artists in the plein-air painting contest will be given three hours -- the amount of time Beaver said Williams allowed himself to paint in one sitting -- to set up a canvas outside Key West's Waterfront Playhouse Saturday, March 19, and paint the theater where the playwright once read to sold-out audiences. All paintings are to be exhibited and the winning creation is to appear on the theater's 2016-17 playbill. Rules, registration and deadlines for all contests are available at www.twkw.org.
