What was your worst fashion

faux pas?

I am a walking fashion faux — Rick Woods Sales Manager, Seven Days Burlington I drenched myself in patchouli oil from head to toe and went to school. My math teacher asked, "Will whoever is wearing that incredibly strong perfume never wear it again, because it's making me sick." — Tara Vaughan-Hughes Art Director, Seven Days Burlington Striped knee-high legwarmers, two years too late. Not learning my lesson, I went on to wear pink frosted lipstick for way too long. — Eve Jarosinski Account Executive, Seven Days Burlington In seventh grade, wearing my sister's white clam-digger pants and penny loafers without socks, and thinking it was cool. — Don Eggert Art Director, Seven Days Burlington Anyone who saw me on the Seven Days float in the Mardi Gras parade has witnessed my greatest faux pas. — Hope Corbin, Circulation/Classifieds/ Personals, Seven Days Burlington Getting a radical mohawk a couple of days before my grandfather — a retired army brigadier — died, forcing me to sport my grungiestever haircut at his funeral. — Pip Vaughan-Hughes Contributing writer, Seven Days Burlington

MARRIAGE ARGUMENT FUTILE I will not write a letter about same-sex marriage, because trying to unravel the nonsense is futile. No one wins an argument with God's police, the people for whom the bestest part of religion is telling other people what to do. And nominating Tom Little for president wouldn't go anywhere. So I'd rather just stay out of the whole — whoops! — Fred G. Hill Burlington TRINITY W I T H I N RIGHTS 5 I see that the star "journalist" of your oh-so-hip little tabloid, that bloated and self-righteous windbag Peter Freyne, still has his small mind in a deep rut. What a stinking, steaming pile of media manure that was about Trinity College [Inside Track, March 22]. A seminary drop-out in his youth, Freyne still just can't understand why the Catholic Church doesn't re-make itself in his jaundiced image. How dare they! Has anyone pulled him up for air long enough to clue him in to the fact that Trinity College is a private, Catholic institution of higher learning perfectly within their rights to invite whomever in

mended for having the courage of their convictions. It is a good sign that they are beginning to realize that there is little point in being a Catholic school with an identity in politically correct lockstep with Freyne and those of his ilk. Keep up the good work, Trinity, and don't get hustled by cheapjacks like Freyne! — Irving Shelby Smith Burlington 'FAT' SUPPORT Once again this year, the wonderful folks at Magic Hat brought our community a magnificent and memorable Mardi Gras celebration. And once again, proceeds from the Mardi Gras parade went to support the work of the Women's Rape Crisis Center. On behalf of the WRCC board of directors, staff and volunteers, I would like to offer my heartfelt thanks to all who made Mardi Gras 2000 such a fantastic success: Magic Hat, Seven Days, 99.9 The Buzz, 106.7 WIZN, the Radisson, Hertz Equipment Center and Smuggler's Notch. All together, over $3000 was raised during this event to support our crisis hotline, survivor advocacy services and community education work. Last year, 298 survivors of sexual violence contacted us on our

24-hour, confidential hotline. We were able to provide crisis support, information and referrals. We accompanied victims to the hospital when needed, and offered support and information to victims who chose to report to the police. We also offered over 150 workshops and presentations to schools and in the community in our efforts to raise awareness about sexual violence. These services are possible because of the support of businesses and individuals in the community... Our hotline number is 863-1236, or 1-800-4897273. — Celia Cuddy Executive Director, WRCC Burlington SEXUAL MESSAGE AMBIVALENT A letter in your March 8 edition criticized a recent advertisement by Wine Works that featured a pair of human legs. The writer, Angela Quaranta, appears to overreact to the advertiser's choice of subjects in the ad. In the process of denouncing sexual coercion via alcohol, [she] implies that by featuring selected parts of a human's anatomy instead of the entire body, the artist who arranged the

the hell they please to speak at their school? Having attended classes there in preparation for medical college, I can tell you that Trinity is a very good little school and something of a gem here in Burlington. Those of us who have attended the many fine lectures (always free or very reasonably priced) they regularly host know what a great service this is to what is, let's face it, a rather remote and thinly populated corner of the globe. I could understand Freyne getting his panties in a wad if the rescinded invitation to speak involved a feminist of genuine intellectual depth and significance, such as Christina Hoff Sommers, or even Camille Paglia. But Gloria Steinem?! Freyne's over-the-top outrage belies both his age and what, I suspect, is the deepest cut in this matter for him: Ms. Steinem is a mediocre writer, like Freyne, and mediocrity (like misery) loves company. Ms. Steinem does not speak for all women, but unless they agree with her, Freyne apparently doesn't respect their opinion. Readers who want an informed perspective would do well to check out the Web site of Feminists For Life at www.serve.com/fem41ife. Trinity College is to be com-

TraditionRules?

It starts tomorrow, bursting forth like a flowering magnolia bulb. Tomorrow marks the beginning of a certifiable tradition. For four very special days, those who follow the little white ball will be fixated on their T V screens, religiously watching the greens and fairways of the Augusta National golf course. It's the Masters, one of golf's four majors, but for most fans it's the epitome of golfing tradition. It's all there amid the towering pines of Georgia's cathedral of golf, where the magnolias bloom and a hungry Rae's Creek swallows dreams and golf balls like M & M s . It's where fathers show their sons the very spot on the 15th fairway where on a Sunday afternoon in 1935 Gene Sarazen pulled off his miracle shot. Talk about tradition! Sarazen was 230 yards from the pin in one stroke on the par five. His caddy, Stovepipe, reached for the 3-wood, but Sarazen overruled him and selected his new Wilson Turf Rider 4-wood with the hollowed-out back. There were only about 20 spectators standing around the green, since everyone figured Craig Wood (who later built the golf course in Lake Placid that bears his name), had already won the tournament. In fact, as Sarazen's ball skipped across the putting surface, officials had already written Wood the check for the $1500 first-place money and sportswriters were congratulating him as he posed for the newsreel cameras.

for the traditional wife to call. No court to issue a relief-from-abuse order. She bore her wounds in the silence of suffering. That was the tradition of the day. Surely that's not the marriage tradition Ruth Dwyer, Rep. George Schiavone and Roman Catholic Bishop Ken Angell are standing up for — or is it? Surely, they're referring to a different tradition, aren't they? Okay, let's trace this traditional marriage concept that so many wear on their sleeve today. Let's go way back on the marriage trail to the early days of Christianity. Way back to when centuries were counted in single digits. And guess what? It turns out early Christians didn't think too highly of marriage. In fact, it wasn't until the second millennium, more than one thousand years later, that marriage was elevated to the status of a sacrament. "When the Romans were passing laws to penalize celibacy," notes distinguished family sociologist Gerald R. Leslie in his magnum opus The Family in Social Context, "the Christians taught that the virgin state was a more exalted one than marriage." And nextbest to virginity came "celibacy after marriage." Good oldfashioned traditional marriage came in third. O h , dear.

BY PETER FREYNE

But back on 15, a miracle was about to happen, a miracle that today is one of the eternal logs on the fireplace of Masters tradition. Sarazen toed his 4-wood and let it rip. T h e ball carried the stream and in two bounces was on the green. It took a curving path from right to left and then dropped in the cup for a 2! T h e sportswriters quickly held a little powwow to figure out what to call the shot. A birdie is one under par. An eagle is two under. But Sarazen's 2 on the par 5 was a horse of a different color, and the scribes as yet didn't have a name for such a feat since it had been considered impossible. They agreed on "double eagle" and that was that, Sarazen tied Wood at 6-under and the following day won their 36-hole playoff. Today Sarazen's shot is part of the hallowed tradition of golf. But at the time, nobody was thinking tradition. In fact, it wasn't even called the Masters back then; rather, it was the Augusta National Invitational. And it wasn't until the 1950s that the club commemorated Sarazen's feat. But just invoke the word "tradition" and heads bow in reverence, tongues quiet. Tradition conjures views of the ancient pyramids of Egypt. O f giant redwoods. O f Old Faithful at Yosemite. O f things to be revered. O f . . .marriage? In December's historic ruling, the Vermont Supreme Court said committed gay couples in Vermont have a right to receive the same benefits as committed, married straight couples. Opponents have since wrapped themselves in the banner of traditional marriage. Their traditional marriage picture is the one that once filled the old picture-palace screens with the Mickey Rooney and J u d y Garland movies of the 1930s and 1940s. After the war, it glowed on the blackand-white television sets of the 1950s with "Ozzie and Harriet" and "Leave It to Beaver." But things change, and so has marriage. W h e n my father was born in his little part of rural Catholic Ireland, marriages were about land, property rights and inheritance. You married who your father told you to marry and that was that. Romance was for novels. And if the husband turned out to be a lout who followed the traditional "rule of thumb" like a good husband, there was no W o m e n Helping Battered W o m e n hotline

In good old traditional marriage as it once was, Christians viewed sex as "a necessary evil, not a source of pleasure." At the Council of Carthage in 398 A.D., the bishops went so far as to declare that the bride and groom should abstain from sex on their wedding night. Hey, these guys really knew how to live. But certainly, that's not the traditional marriage Ruth Dwyer, George Schiavone and the Bingo Bishop want to protect, is it? It turns out for the first few hundred years, Christians didn't even have their own wedding ceremonies. Instead they obtained civil marriages like any good Roman from the local justice of the peace.

"Under the Christian influence," writes Leslie, "marriage and the family were more lowly regarded than ever before or since in Western history." And as they attacked the evils of Rome, the Christians "became victims of a conception of marriage as a purely sexual union — a slightly more desirable alternative than fornication." In the good old days of traditional marriage, nuns and priests got to join in, too. Surely the Bingo Bishop isn't advocating a revival of that tradition? Let me tell you, a lot of contemporary nuns and priests as well as former nuns and priests wish that tradition hadn't been dropped. But that's life. Things change. And when one looks at the big picture, it's clear that the cry to defend traditional marriage is about sex rather than marriage. It's little more than a vain attempt to sacramentalize the sexual practices of heterosexuals while demonizing those of homosexuals.

SAME-SEX MARRIAGE? Is this really a problem? It S o - f f MoT

Traditional marriage, as we commonly think of it, says Dr. Brookes Cowan, a distinguished U V M clinical sociologist and lecturer, "died in the 1960s." Marriage in the context of coming together in a life-long commitment, says Cowan, was replaced by a new form called "companionate marriage." Companionate marriage, she points out, has replaced traditional marriage in content and expectation. This new form of marriage, says the professor, "provides emotional and sexual satisfaction... and children are viewed as an option."

Crime Doesn't Pay, It Costs A man w h o entered a juice shop in Albuquerque, N e w Mexico, ordered a drink, handed the clerk $10, then pulled out a handgun and demanded ' money when the clerk opened the cash register. According to the police report, at the sight of the gun, all the clerks in the shop "panicked, slammed the register closed and ran to a back room where they locked themselves in." T h e frustrated suspect then left. "Also note," the report added, "the unintelligent suspect did not get any money from the robbery and did not get his drink. T h e suspect also left his $10 behind that was in the clerk's hand as she ran to the back." • Three armed men forced their way into a primary school office in Johannesburg and held up the principal and two secretaries, filling a black briefcase with jewelry, money and the contents of the school safe. South Africa's Press Association reported that | when the men turned to flee, one of them grabbed the wrong briefcase, escaping with the principal's bag, which was stuffed with homework.

Curses, Foiled Again Police investigating vandalism of a church in St. Ann, Missouri, arrested five teenage suspects whom they identified from names provided by neighbors who saw the boys on the church roof, tennis shoes that matched photos of tracks at the scene and handprints on a back door.

the hippo, named Komir, began acting differently after Ducuing bought his new tractor and began working on it outside Komir's pen. Jean-Claude Marchais, a friend who witnessed the hippo's attack, said Ducuing told him that he "thought Komir was sulking." W h e n Komir escaped from his pen one morning after Ducuing had been riding his tractor, Marchais said Ducuing "rode up on his bicycle to try to persuade Komir to get back into his enclosure, and Komir just opened his jaws and went for him, bike and all.

DESIGN A LIMITED EDITION VERMONT EXPOS T-SHIRT! HERE ARE THE RULES: PHISH FRY? Leonardo DiCaprio. Cameron Diaz. Michael Stipe. Alanis Morissette. Michael Ovitz. You'd think Phish would be happy swimming in such circles. But what the Burlington rockers share with said celebrities is not Oscar invites, but a money manager under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The band surfaced in a story in Vanity Fair about Dana GiachettO and his potentially dangerous daycarefor-dollars business. "Not long ago," the story goes, "to be young, gifted and financially secure in Hollywood meant that Dana Giachetto was managing your money." Now the jet-setting investor is under suspicion for fraud. PHISH Authorities want to know if Giacchetto was bailing out bad deals with monies from new investors. They are also concerned he might have fudged individual account reports. His real talent was leveraging A-list investors by dropping the big names of other star clients — "Leo" actually lived at his loft for a while. It was when Giachetto took over Paradise Music and Entertainment that members of Phish bought in to the program — along with Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Lauren Holly and artist David Salle. But in his eagerness to capitalize the company, Giachetto might have conducted some unauthorized transactions. Some investors cashed out in time, but Phish manager John PalUSka wouldn't say whether he or the band were among them. "No comment," he says. "That's private." Vanity Fair theorizes, "In order to prosecute, you need victims, and the rich and famous don't like to be considered as such... In the end, however, their reticence may not be much of a deterrent. 'I have one word for you,' says a lawyer knowledgable about the case. 'Subpoena.'" GREAT EXPECTATIONS: Vermont Stage Company used to be Blake Robison s baby. But in a week or so, the 34-year-old director will become a real dad. That means no bards or barnstorming this summer from the company that brought you Amadeus, Midsummer Night's Dream, Mad River Rising and The Last Station. But Vermont Stage will he back in the fall to deliver Midwives, the stage version of the best-selling novel by Chris Bohjalian. Rejecting an out-of-state request, the Lincoln novelist turned the stage rights over to Bohjalian buddy and Vermont Stage co-director Dana Yeaton. The Middlebury playwright is in the process of adapting the story of a Vermont midwife who makes a murderous mid-delivery decision. If the idea of high-stakes obstetrical drama is not exciting enough for you, imagine it in the round, at the intimate new theater under construction at the Flynn Theatre. "It'll be a great way to explore the new space," says Robison. Along with the October production of Midwives, Robison has three productions scheduled in the new arena: the Vermont-made "Cabaret Stories" for January, a classic production of A Streetcar Named Desire in March and a minimalist version of Romeo and Jidiet a year from this May. Flynn artistic director Amie Malina stresses Vermont Stage will be one of the resident companies in the new space — but not the only one. "There will be opportunities for other people," he says. "We are just barely beginning to figure it all out." IN BRIEF: Talk of tougher laws regulating the possession of child pornography had a negative effect on Seven Days photographer Matthew Thorsen last week. The Burlington photog submitted three photos to the Women's Rape Crisis Center for an exhibit for Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The curators accepted one shot, then called the cops to report the other two. The Burlington Police Department wanted to get a closer look at Thorsen's photo of a naked infant boy, shot five years ago in France. But faced with the offending picture, The Man determined it was art, not porn. Case closed. "This is exactly the quagmire we don't want to be in," Detective Michael Schirling says. "This is by no means the kind of photograph that we'd advocate the Legislature criminalize" . . . It may not do a whole lot for syrup sales, but Vermont's controversial eugenics movement is attracting increasing national attention.

Now artist Michael Oatman, a former art prof at the University of Vermont, has been invited to tell the same story, in art, at the prestigious MASS MoCA exhibition space in North Adams, Massachusetts. One of a dozen artists featured in the "Unnatural Science" show, Troy, New Yorkbased Oatman is breathing new life into his former Fleming Museum investigation of the racist philosophies of UVM professor Henry Perkins, who advocated a Green Mountain version of ethnic cleansing.

You don't liawe to be female to wig out at Great Lengths

PARTING WAYS? Wig seller Clare McAfee is ahead of the game.

icture this: You pull up to a red light and can't help noticing that the woman in the next car has absolutely stunning hair — delicate tendrils, a high pony tail held back by a perfect braid, cascading down her neck and resting gently on her shoulders. As you sit gawking, she glances over, catches your eye and smiles. Then she reaches up, pulls the hair right off her head, and tosses her business card in your lap. You've just experienced a favorite marketing technique of Clare McAfee, founder of Great Lengths, a Montpelier wig emporium. McAfee, a 36-year-old mother of five, runs her business out of her bedroom, where she offers tea and sympathy along with her stock of synthetic bobs, buns and other detachable 'dos. Her coiffure-challenged customers include brides and basketball players, and a fair number of cancer patients. But McAfee's favorite buyers, she says, are the guys who come to her on the way to becoming gals. "To see a man come in and just be transformed is wonderful," she says. "They come in here and they feel like they're reborn."

More than merely dispensing ersatz hair, the wig seller sees herself as an aid to her clients' selfesteem and a promoter of good old-fashioned, girlish play. The salon's name — Great Lengths — also describes what some customers go to in order to reach McAfee. One transgender client drives three hours for the confidentiality McAfee assures. But even clients who live close by have to mount 50 steep steps from the street to the wig-seller's front door — not exactly accessible, especially for folks undergoing chemotherapy. McAfee and her husband, Chris, a chef-instructor at the New England Culinary Institute, are

looking for a new home, she says — "someplace big and fun." Fun, for McAfee, is practically a mantra. Commenting on one saucy coiffure, she asks, "I mean, how fun is this?" Reflecting on the experience of seeing yourself transformed by a wig, she explains, "It's fun." And summing up her life in general, she reflects, "It's so fun. Sometimes I'll just have a friend over and we'll have a glass of wine and try on all the wigs. It's just the best job. Women who come here say, 'I want this job. I want to play with my friends like this.'" A pretty woman with an easy, open smile and Warm, wide-set eyes, McAfee usually keeps her straight, auburn hair hidden under one wig or another. The day I mount the steps to her home, she's thrown on a phony "up-do" held in place by a band that looks like her own hair braided, and pulled back in a scrunchy that looks like more real hair. Her shop is set up in the dormer of her upstairs bedroom, where a large mirror hangs on the wall, and shelves hold rows of Styrofoam wig-wearing heads, each with its own name. "Mariah," is a spunky, feathered coif. "Corey" is a sassy but business-like bob. "Lea 2" has the wind-blown look of a sea nymph. Lying among the heads are pin-on buns, hair extenders and other "fun little things." To help customers select their own personal hair hue, McAfee keeps clusters of fake tresses in every possible shade, like so many scalp trophies. She has held a lot of jobs in her life, but McAfee calls selling wigs "the best thing I've ever done. It's like playing Barbies with your girlfriends." Not that she ever exactly played Barbies, herself. "I used to shave their heads," she admits. "I liked GI Joe better. My sister, who's seven years younger than I am, would come into the

Continued Trom page 9 house and find all her Barbies had shaved heads. Or I'd hang them from the ceiling or take the heads off, take their arms off." McAfees interest in body parts didn't stop at dismembered dolls. She studied Mortuary Sciences at the University of the District of Columbia and worked as an autopsy specialist during four years in the Army. She decided to go into the wig business when she needed a way to work at home while caring for her two youngest children. Wearing wigs and hairpieces was something she'd always enjoyed. The idea of selling them herself occurred to her when a friend died of cancer. "When she was going through it she got a wig in Burlington that cost her $500," McAfee remembers. "It looked awful." She promised her friend she'd find a way to help people who needed wigs acquire them affordably. At Great Lengths, nothing costs more than $90. "I want to give people a break," she says. "I can't believe how they're being gouged." McAfee avoids human hair because it's so pricey — at least three times the cost of synthetics — and because phony hair is so much easier to care for. "Synthetic hair doesn't fade like human hair does," she points out. "It bounces back every time. And the curl is preset. Unless you buy a curly human-hair wig, you've got to curl it, style it, blow-dry it. It's just too much maintenance. Why would you even bother?"

Featuring

music

McAfee carries wigs by Rene of Paris and Henry Margu, companies she describes as "top of the line" manufacturers. She also offers Troika wigs that retail at around $35 and Ebony wigs for clients of color. Before deciding which lines to sell, McAfee "test-drove" several makes. She was then working as a waitress and wore a different wig to work every day. "I'd run around and shake it and wash it, and the ones that fell apart I decided I wouldn't represent," she reports.

Though she can talk, well, ringlets around anyone on the topic of wig wear and tear, McAfee is particularly passionate when she reflects on how her business touches her clients' lives. "I see many people from many walks of life here where you can tell there's abuse," she confides. "For an hour and a half, you can make someone feel wonderful about themselves. If they feel good about themselves, then everything else will fall in place." It's not unusual for McAfee to get a call from someone who's still sitting in the doctor's office. "The woman will say, 'I've just been diagnosed with cancer. I know that I'm going to need a wig. Can I just come and see you?"' McAfee says. "And I'll say, 'Oh, come in, sit down, have some tea, we'll talk, blow your nose.' They go home with some catalogues and, maybe six to eight weeks later, after they've been through their experiences, they can give me a call." People tend to tell their life stories to the person they buy their wigs from, McAfee has discovered.

see a man come in

and just be transformed is wonderful." Clare McAfee "It's really amazing. And then you end up crying with them when you see the ladies who have found out maybe they've got six months." Her most wrenching experience was being asked to do the hair of a woman who was on her death bed. "That was very tough," McAfee acknowledges. "The whole family was standing around. But I knew I was there because she wanted to make herself beautiful for the last moment." She pauses, takes a deep breath and adds, "That's just not fun."

roviding hair for people who are ill can also be uplifting. Recently, McAfee sold a wig to a client who hadn't had any hair for five years. Besides outfitting her with a "Corey" wig, McAfee sent her home with a pair of human-hair eyebrows she could glue onto her face. "I had them on the wall here, and she was going to a banquet, so I asked her to try them out for me," the wig-seller recalls. The woman was thrilled that, for the first time in five years, she could wiggle her eyebrows at her husband. Another time, McAfee delivered a wig to the home of a woman who was too ill to travel. But when the customer tried on the 'do, the effect was disappointing. "I told her it made her look 20 years older," McAfee recalls. She ran home and returned with a whitish-blond bob. "Her husband hadn't seen her look that good in years," she continues. "She's, like, 75 and she says, 'I haven't had sex in so long!"' For McAfee, nurturing healthy sexuality is as important as providing good fun. "A local radio deejay bought this one," she says, pulling out "Angelica," a head of long, unabashedly sensuous, synthetic " hair. "She goes out in public with it everywhere, and she told me, 'This is a man magnet!' So my transgender lady said to me, 'I want three of these in every color.'" McAfee says she first became involved with the transgender crowd when she was "living the wild life" in D.C. and going to a lot of bars with a gay friend. "This place called Tracks was the greatest drag-queen hang-out," she recalls. "I appreciate beautiful women more than you will ever know, so I would sit and watch them and think, "Wow, how do you do that? It's amazing!'" Serving a population for which few resources exist in central Vermont, McAfee has created a comfortable, private and, yes, fun space in which customers who are learning to be women can try out

different looks, get makeup tips and engage in some girl talk. This aspect of her work requires special sensitivity, McAfee notes. "One of my clients said, 'I feel like a freak and I need someone to help me feel comfortable.'" Transgender clients "tend to be ultra, ultra self-conscious," she adds. "You need to help them feel comfortable with their transition." She also tries to help clients achieve a look that's subtly convincing. "Three out of 10 of my clientele will say, 'We all want to be sluts when we come out,'" she notes. "But we tone it down, make it look more natural. The big blue stuff [above the eyes] doesn't go." Besides selling hairpieces, McAfee provides referrals to area businesses where transgender customers are welcome. She'll even accompany her clients on shopping trips for jewelry and clothes. Montpelier, she says, is a relatively comfortable community for former men who are just beginning to wear dresses and high heels. "I wouldn't want to walk in Barre like that," she says with a laugh. "You'd probably be stoned. Or you'd have to be [stoned] to go there." Even in the safest environment, allowing yourself to be transformed can be scary. I get a small taste of this as our interview winds down and McAfee finally asks the question I've been anticipating, and dreading, from the start: "Do you want to try them on?" Well, yes, I do. Immediately, she positions me out of sight of the mirror. As she stretches a nylon wig cap over my hair, she coos, "You're such a good sport!" Then she pulls out that notorious man magnet, "Angelica," and settles it on my head. "This is a very sensual wig," she coaches, nestling the ear tabs against my temples. "You're gonna die when you see yourself in this." I don't know what to expect when she finally steps back and lets me take a look in the mirror. "Aren't you sensual?" she asks. I nod. But mostly, I feel confused. The long-haired woman in the mirror looks vaguely familiar at best. I am 12 years old all over again, trying on my first bra and thinking, Hunh. This must be what it feels like to be female. Somewhere in the background, McAfee is still fluttering around me. "See?" she says. "I'm telling you — all women want to be here! People think, 'Wigs, what a joke.' But this is where it's at." ® Great Lengths can be reached at 224-9049 or www.greatlengthsnow.com * .

o you think it's time to lose the sweatpants, maybe?" The words, they stung. Here I was at breakfast, enjoying my Cocoa Puffs, absorbed in Zippy, sporting my Sunday best. Out of nowhere came my wife Megan's inflammatory remark. "What, you don't like the sweatpants?" I asked. "Dan, go look at yourself," she said. So I did. And as I stood there staring at my reflection, here is what I saw: an individual in his thirties wearing sweatpants he got at the campus store during freshman orientation. Granted, they were a little tighter around the...everywhere than they used to be. And yeah, the peeling decal on the left leg now said NvU instead of NYU. But these nuances represented 16 years of loyal experience. When I looked those sweatpants straight in the v, I saw sweatpants with character, sweatpants with history, sweatpants that once found their way into the red plastic laundry basket of Hattie also-known-asHottie Ahearn, if you know what I am saying here.

Hell if I was going to abandon them now. But that, perhaps, is because I exhibit a sick attachment to my old clothes. When we moved out of our last apartment, Megan filled eight Hefty garbage bags with her old clothes for the Goodwill truckers to haul away. I filled a Dunkin' Donuts bag with a pair of tube

socks. (The only reason I tossed the socks, between you and me, is because they had holes in the big toe.) An impromptu excavation of my wardrobe reveals many fascinating artifacts. In one drawer lies my first-ever concert jersey (ELO, Asbury Park, '79). Wear me! it beckons each morning. I will make you feel hep again! O n the shelf in my bureau resides the unwieldy wool sweater I got in Copenhagen my junior year abroad. Skol! it shouts with drunken abandon. I will add a touch of international intrigue to your image! And who is that hanging in the downstairs closet? Why, it's my old pal the Guatemalan hooded pullover thing that I got at the Hemp 'n' More Store that summer I drove to Boulder with my former friend Tim! Dude, it whispers. Slip me on over that 12-year-old tie-dye in your dresser, and you'll be feelin' no pain in no time. Part of my peculiar style of dress stems from my peculiar style of career. As a professional shut-in, or "self-employed person," I am exempt from all dress codes. But I believe the other part has less to do with my job than with my gender. Like many of the male ilk, I am simply unable to construct a reasonable "outfit." Well, maybe not so much unable as unwilling. Left to my own devices, I get dressed with one goal in mind: Maximum Comfort. If someone were to tell me that it is extraordinarily comfortable to wear underpants on your head, I'd be sitting here bedecked in a Jockey-shorts bonnet.

Nature or nurture? W h o among us can say, really? But according to my research (a randomly selected control group of four friends I emailed an hour ago, one of whom still hasn't responded), it appears the ability to dress oneself in a contemporary manner is consistent with what experts call "blatant gender stereotyping." Women are better at evaluating the way garments relate to each other. Women are more comfortable using verbs like "accessorize." Women are able to evolve; adapt; wake up one morning in the late 1970s, look in their closets, and scream, "Gauchos? What was I thinking?!" The male fashion sense, particularly among the hopelessly hetero, appears to start and end at age 15. At least, it did for me. The scene is 1978: Bobbie's Boys, a clothing store in the Millburn Mall. A glum-looking teenage boy is scouring the "Groovy Getups" aisle for apparel

that is considered haute couture at Millburn Junior High: Levi's prewashed corduroys (straight-legged, not flared) and Timberland boots (beige, unlaced). His mother is at the opposite end of the store in a department called "Dressy Duds." Mother (holding up Andy Gibb-style velour Jordache dress slacks): "Hey, Daniel! How about these?" Son (under his breath): "Yeah, I'll wear those and get my ass kicked from algebra class to the emergency room." Mother (holding up a pair of Frye boots similar to those worn by Bo in "The Dukes of Hazzard'): "Hey, Daniel! These boots would look sharp on you!" Son: "I'd rather wear underpants on my head." But that was then. Now I just avoid clothes shopping altogether. And on those rare occasions when I do find myself in an establishment where attire is purveyed, I am

accompanied not by my mother, but by my wife. Megan, you see, finds shopping enjoyable. When she sees a garment hanging on a rack, she notices the fabric, the lines, the cut. I notice the little white tag that says it costs $89.99. Then I put it back on the rack and wander over to the clearance section. It's not that I'm cheap, it's that I don't understand the concept of spending that kind of money on clothes. I'd rather spend it on travel, entertainment, an experience — an experience to which I will wear a flannel shirt from 1978. Shortly after the sweatpants incident, I received — and more significant, did not recycle — my weekly delivery of three J. Crew catalogues. What came over me I don't know, but I wound up buying more new clothes in five minutes than I had in five years. It wasn't until they arrived that I realized my new purchases were just updat-

Like manv of the mal ilk, I am simply unable \ :o construct a reasonabl "outfit." Well, maybe not so mucn unable as ^lliLWIIffiEM ed remakes of all the old standards. Flannel shirts with goofy zippers instead of buttons. Black (not beige) Timberland rip-offs. A badass gray down jacket that bears remarkable resemblance to the bright-green one I used to wear to Millburn Junior High. Asjj me to part with any of these upstarts, and I'll have the Goodwill truck over here pronto.

But ask me to lose my ill-fitting, stained NvU sweatpants from freshman orientation, and you're asking me to lose a part of myself. Make no mistake. When it comes to clothes, despite appearances, I care. I care enough to wear. ® This article originally appeared in the Boston Phoenix.

IDENTITY CRISIS Here's something new and different: 96.7 is changing its tune, and its name, for the fourth time in as many years, proving itself the Spinal Tap of bandwidths (you know, imploding formats). Out with the latest attempt, the country KIX — thanks to WOKO's kick-ass dominance of the market — and in with... "Smooth Jazz." A press release promises an aural diet of Kenny G., Grover Washington Jr., George Benson, Vanessa Williams, etc. Did someone say "Snooz?"

HARMONIC CONVERGENCE What are the chances that two a cappella groups would be singing in Burlington on the same night? More than random, fer sure. Make that Random Association — Vermont's own award-winning, instrument-free singing group will be joined by HyanniS Sound, their colleagues from the Boston area, Friday night at the College Street Congregational Church. Unlike RA but like UVM's Top Cats, Hyannis are all-male. They're also in the "humor is good" school of singing. You can get a sneak preview of the concert by tuning into Vermont Public Radio's live-inthe-studio broadcast of Random Association Thursday at 8 p.m., courtesy of host Neal Charnoff, and checking out Hyannis Sound's matinee gig, Friday at 3 p.m., on the Church Street Marketplace. SOUL SINGER Jan Garrett wants to teach the world to sing. Well, at least anyone who wants to come to her Authentic Voice Workshop. The Colorado native is no cowboy, but she is out there on a wideopen (vocal) range; her latest album is Gypsy Midwife, Songs for Soul Retrieval, written following her own wilderness quest. No less a talent than the Grammy-winning songwriter/actor Paul Williams has gushed about the beauty, energy and spirituality of Garrett's music. And two central Vermonters — Fran Weinbaum of East Montpelier and Lisa Morris of Stowe — were so inspired that they invited Garrett to Montpelier for a little capital-style questing. This Saturday she'll offer her workshop at the T.W. Wood Gallery, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. ($75/85) — guaranteed to be a "highly experiential, practical, holistic approach to freeing and empowering your Physical Voice, your Creative Artistic Voice, and

DO GOOD DEPT. You don't usually get classical news here, but what the heck: The Vermont Symphony Orchestra Benefit Radio Auction will air this Thursday on the Radio Vermont Stations (WDEV AM 550 & FM 96.1, WCVT FM 101.7, WLVB FM 93.9 and WKDR AM 1390). And how does an auction work on the air? Sort of like a telethon — they describe items and you call in to bid (244-7321 or 1-800-639-9338) so they can get back to their regularly scheduled programming sooner. Good luck, VSO. As for more, uh, grounded affairs, Philadelphia's 1 0 2 8 rock out for the Mad River Rugby Club this Saturday at The Matterhorn in Stowe. Over at Johnson State the same night, Liquid Dead, The People, The Blue Grass Band and The Human Canoe Revue groove in support of the Student Activist Coalition (whose main fight at the moment is against genetically engineered food and general corporate badness). And as always the Saturday night acoustic fever at the monthly Starksboro Coffee House — featuring Last Night's Joy, Dhyan Nirmegh and The Seven Thin Dimes — will benefit the restoration fund for the historic Starksboro Village Meeting House.

your Voice in the Larger Community." Gosh. Not sure if this is for you? Check out Garrett's Friday night concert at the Wood for a soulful sample. (Info, 229-0940.) DIFFERENT DRUM Speaking of music lessons, how about taking up the bodhran? It's not often a master player comes to town, but this Saturday Mance Grady brings the traditional drum of Ireland — and 20 years' teaching experience — to a workshop at the College Street Congregational Church. For a mere 30 bucks you can get the hang of this particular big bang (info, 660-4056), and for a preview check out Grady in concert with fiddler Eamon Flynn Friday night at Ri Ra. Irish ayes, indeed. G.I. TRACK Recent mail from Dave Jarvis reveals he's in sunny Georgia. Vacation? Nope. The former Burlington rocker writes from Fort Benning, Georgia, which most of you will recognize as a soldier's address. That's right, he's in the Army now. Nothing like a little boot camp to, well...whip a guy into shape. But Jarvis (Cranial Perch, Dave Jarvis Band) says he's in no way giving up music, even though the Army's training him for a job in communications — he'll leave for Germany this summer. In fact, he lamented that after he left town The Point began spinning his tune "Sunflower Street" in rotation. But according to wife Kelley Faucheaux, who's still here in town with two-yearold son Norman, "Dave is doing really well." I'm guessing the service might have appealed after he produced The Vietnam Tapes — Jarvis' paean to his father, who died fighting in Vietnam at the age of 22 in 1968. "Com-munications" sounds like a much better route. Anyone wants to write to PFC Dave Jarvis, he'd love to hear from you: c/o B

All may take inspiration from the highly successful benefit last Saturday in Burlington for the Fool's Gold Artists Fund at Metronome: Organizer Diane HorStmyer reports that, after expenses, the "Black and White Ball" was able to put away just over $1600. Not a bad nest egg. SINGLE TRACKS Happy birthday to 135 Pearl! The GBLT-friendly dance club turns 17 this Saturday with, what else, spinning magic from DJ Little Martin . . .

THE RED TELEPHONE, AVIATION (Raise Giant Frogs, CD) — Last year things were looking promising for The Red Telephone. They'd gotten the six-figure call from Warner Bros, and seemed to be on their way. But after the underpromoted release of an "unrepresentative" record and dwindling label support, the Bostonbased band with Burlington roots is on its own again. Rather than breaking up like your typical victim of major-label chicanery, the Telephone has dialed up Aviation, a five-song self-produced disc, and released it on their own label. In their Burlington days, singer/songsmith/rhythm guitarist Matt Hutton and guitarist Sean Toohey formed the core of local fave Envy, before moving to Boston several years ago and hooking up with drummer Mark Britton and bassist Pat MacDonald. Recorded by Britton at the Phone Booth, his 12-track home studio, Avtj cious, reverby sound and laid-back nite Radiohead influence in tl tempo neopsychedelia, pai ming.

— Paul Gibson DJ HEDFONZ, MANIFESTIVAL (self-released, CD) — For a town its size, Burlington is home to a disproportionately high number of deejays. And within the scene, the electronic sounds they spin are actually quite diverse. Emerging from the sound-lab with this full-length disc is one semi-local artist, DJ Hedfonz (a.k.a. G. Garrow, once with Belizbeha). An ultra-modern tone manipulator with European tendencies, his arrival could give a boost to Burlington's electro-techno scene — if, that is, he does any spinning in these parts. Propelled by a self;enerated drum-m^hh^JHg||M||M^u^cLbeats ythms ose ases. ea of other trylean by ike ound of : or the influbeats and generated voice ainly rooted in

the familiar, Hedfonz's idiosyncratic phrasing and ability to issue repetitive grooves with mantra-like qualities allow the derivative aspects of his music to be transcended by his own innovative touches. Best displayed on the appropriately titled "Drum Circle," hypnotic, psychelevel lines compel even the casual listener to consider the individual sounds, fragments that actively come together to make a collective whole, from the inside out. From this perspective one realizes just how structurally situated each and every tone really is. While it may be easy for some to dismiss this stuff as too rigid and a bit boring (computer music like this isn't exactly soulful), the complexity DJ Hedfonz creates with his blips, bleeps and thumps is worth musing about as a sculptural whole organized by a strikingly high level of temporal symmetry. On a more user-friendly level, much of this material contains gentle melodies that run counter to the heady overall approach. As on the opening cut, "Beyond the Threshold," melodic phrases jump with an airiness that is light and catchy. These tendencies — which recall the now-archaic output of Krautrock maestros Kraftwerk on albums like "Autobahn" — lessen the intellectualized frigidity found throughout this 12-track, 70-minute CD. Each track is thus more catchy, increasing the disc's long-term listenibilty. By striking a balance between the complex and the simplistic, "Manifestival" is ideal for those interested in the latest techno trends as well as for those who just want a digestible bite of what's hip, new, cool, and groovy. —JeffFuccillo

some Cocteau Twins cuts myself, but there's a difference between that sort of mellifluous, open-to(mis)interpretation nonsense and the intelligible vagueness that mars many of Hutton's lyrics. Fortunately, his sure hand with the melodies almost makes up for this deficiency, and Toohey's always-tasty guitar licks ornament those melodies perfectly. The engaging opener, "Jet Pilot High," features cool psychedelicized vocals and a guitar riff that gets in your head like mad cow disease. Other highlights include the trance-y, understated "Ever Travel," in which Hutton nicely evokes the contemplative space-out that motion can induce, and the gorgeous pop chorus of "Have You Seen Her." Aviation closes on a bit of a low note with the poorly poeticized account of Hutton's post-major-label disillusionment. Still, this recording has more than its share of soaring moments and pretty hooks, and with it The Red Telephone have taken a decisive step toward determining who they are and what they want to sound like. I'm willing to bet that, with a little more lyrical acuity and further incubation, they're gonna stick next time a label throws them against the wall.

Hats can be a fashion liability today — think of Monica Lewinsky's omnipresent beret — but not so long ago they were de rigueur. As part of an exhibition entitled "Completing the Picture: Hats and Fashion," a screening of the movie Impromptu offers an eyeful, 1830s style. A bedroom farce based on the romance between Frederic Chopin and the daring, trouser-sporting writer George Sand, the movie captures the costumes of the day, from creative headwear to a dress, meant to appeal to Chopin, in the colors of the Polish flag. ursday, April 6. Loew Auditorium, Hopkins Center, Dartmouth College, Her, N.H., 7p.m. $6. Info, 603-646-2422. % \ • :! | | 9\

"I do not approve of mourning. I approve only of remembering," playwright and songwriter Noel Coward once said. He would undoubtedly appreciate Oh, Coward, from the Champlain College Players, which revues highlights of his six-decade career. One hundred years after his birth, Coward has enjoyed a revival: One play is on London's West End, two more are in film production. The local tribute features his biggest hits, like "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" and "If Love WereUUl," as well as sketches from his plays and autobiography. Thursday, April 6, though Saturday, April 8.

• Today Ghana mainly exports cacao — but for a while it was gold, and then, when Europeans lured by the metal | : took over, slaves. England ruled the African colony until it gained independence in 1957. Now the biggest export from Ghana to Vermont is culture — part of a month-long blitz of arts from the West African nation. Upcoming performances by the National Dance Ensemble of Ghana feature traditional dances by Kyeremantin — "the Nureyev of Ghana" — accompanied by music on drums, xylophone and the more exotic seprewa and djenbe.

BY M A R C AWODEY

he reason St. Anthony of Padua is one of the most sought-after lawn ornaments in the Papist pantheon is that on one occasion the infant Jesus was seen to have materialized in his arms during an especially fervent episode of piety. Though beardless and tonsured, St. Anthony is often mistaken for St. Joseph, because he too is shown holding the holy infant in one arm and a stem of lilies in the other. ...: jStatuettes of St. Anthony, Jesus in various guises and the lovely Virgin Mary herself are the dominant objects of veneration in Gary Duehr's "Articles of Faith: Lawn Marys & Front Yard Saints," an exhibit of 19 C-print photographs at the Colburn Gallery this month. But these artlessly pious landscaping afflictions are not the only subject matter of the artists photographs. His works are as formally sophisticated as the Marys are not, and while the silliness of lawn theology is no great revelation, the artists point of view redeems the theme. C-prints seem to heighten color while evening out the values of the hues and flattening planes. The "Saint in Plastic" is St. Anthony. His niche has been covered by a sheet of scratched, translucent plastic; a row of bright crimson tulips and green ferns creates a distinct foreground for the sealed-in zealot. Duehr's compositions have pithy angles and subtle diagonals that often push the stability of his 20-inch-square photographs. "Fence Mary" has a steeply slanted picket fence in the foreground, and this shadowy Mary in her curved shelter abuts darkness at the right side of the image. Thorny roses climb in graceful sinews along the left of the photo. Light moves left to right across her weird gardenscape. A classic bathtub Mary appears in Duehr's "Rusted Mary." The only colors in the photo are degrees of misty blue and a pale rust-orange that appears on the Virgin's face and feet. But there are holes in the tub that bleed like a stigmata at three points around the statuette and

behind her placid shroud. Duehr presents her with an air of sympathy, on her own terms, as if the running oxidation streams were a miracle as great as Fatima. "Mary in Pool" takes this strange sympathy to an extreme. The picture is taken from behind Mary's head as

Not all have recognizable figures, however. "Purple Stones" has two large purple-painted rocks ensconced in a vertical bathtub shrine. What religion is this? The majestic purpure of the two stones seems symbolic of some higher representation of St. Anthony or Mary, holding the swaddled, stony lord.

While the silliness of lawn .theology is no great revela ion, the artist's point o view redeems the theme. she looks down upon a praying-girl statue who seems to be having a personal vision. A slight tilt in the point of view creates the appearance of a dialogue, as in the frame of a comic. In "Covered Statue" Duehr visits St. Anthony at his own level. Though separated from the lens by a foreground thicket of roses, the saint stands in his shell-like tub like a man looking out at eye level, yet oblivious, balancing the blessed infant and an awkward, oversized lily. Behind is the bright-red brick wall of a bungalow. All these images are confined in shallow spaces that describe the ethnic, workingclass neighborhoods where these three-dimensional devotions are commonly found.

Fake brick siding decorates the house behind, and the composition is solidly frontal, almost neoclassical, heightening the outlandish holiness of these hefty lambs of the soil. Another particularly absurd image is "Wrapped Saint," a mono-chromatic blue image of a saint wrapped in sheet plastic and blue tape, like a guerrilla hit by Christo. As Duehr presents a new way of looking at these colorful lawn avatars, he suggests another view of how we come to terms with the enigma of holiness. St. Anthony is patron saint of both the mail and of lost objects. Such irony, humor and worldly concerns have probably always had a place within these half-buried bathtub tabernacles. ÂŽ

through the exact same thing just last weekend in the formula-fest Here On Earth. Sawa and Mabius meet at an exclusive boarding school and Mabius immediately blows his new bud's mind by revealing that there's an alternative to a life of comfort and privilege. When Sawa comes to realize there's a whole wide world of bongs and bad hygiene • waiting for him out there, he can't ditch his old life fast enough. Which got me to thinking: Hey, if he doesn't want his old life, can I have it?

This isn't an edgy independent film, it's a patchouliscented fairy tale. And a not particularly well written one at that, though the production values are solid and the movies fledgling producers shrewdly did save up enough to afford the services of a world-class editor (the same guy who shaped David Lynch's Blue Velvet). Sawa's character starts out in prep school and winds up in rehab. In between, what might have made for a long strange trip turns out to be merely long. Long on cornball doobie-based dialogue. Long on one-dimensional character development. And long on moralizing. Reallife Deadheads and Phish fans may not find much of value here — other than the tunes — but Nancy Reagan would be crazy about it. So, don't be fooled by the picture's peace, love and jamming promotional campaign. If you want to see Phish or any of the other bands prominently mentioned in the movie's ads, spend your money on a concert ticket. Anyone who comes looking for them — or anything beyond paint-by-number filmmaking — in Around the Fire is guaranteed to get burned. And in the Now For Something Completely Different Department: Burlington-based activist Robin Lloyd makes movies about as far from Hollywood as any American filmmaker I'm aware of. And I mean that geographically, politically and artistically. Her latest documentary is called Haiti's Piggy Bank: Loss and Recovery of the Haitian Creole Pig and chronicles the catastrophic impact U.S. aid policies have had on the fragile rural economy of that country. The film will have its Burlington premiere Wednesday, April 5, at 7 p.m. in Saint Edmund's Hall at Saint Michael's College. And it's even a two-fer: Her awardwinning work Black Dawn will be on the bill as well. (7)

I guess what the creators of Around the Fire were going for was a Gen-X Easy Rider kind of thing. In the 1969 milestone, stoner Peter Fonda took straight-arrow Jack Nicholson on a head trip behind the lines of the hippie revolution and introduced him to a world of communal living, anti-materialistic thinking and Olympic-level drugging. And that soundtrack — Hendrix, The Byrds, The Band — was a milestone in moviemaking itself. The music on it was so good, in fact, it's stood the test of time better than the film. In Around the Fire, stoner Eric Mabius takes straightarrow Devon Sawa on a head trip behind the scenes of Deadhead-style society and introduces him to a world of tie-dyes, overcrowded concerts and Olympic-level drugging. And the soundtrack? It's being used by the film's producers as a focal point of their marketing campaign. As though paying $8 for a movie ticket somehow provides the audience with a unique opportunity to hear snatches of songs by the Dead, Phish, Bob Marley and others while never actually catching a glimpse of them (the flower children in Around the Fire actually follow a generic band assembled for the film. I found this amusing since, the last time I checked, listening to the radio didn't cost anything at all.)

You'd think social rejection had been this good-looking, moneyed young hunk's lifelong companion or something the way he absolutely lunges into the welcoming arms of the picture's imitation hippies. Of course, it doesn't hurt that Tara Reid's arms are among them. Last seen in the critically nonexistent Body Shots, the young actress does a decent job as the girlfriend here and has the potential to be the next Renee Zellweger. But, let's be honest, sultry, flaxen-haired vixens of intelligence drop out and follow jam bands around in real life about as often as Princeton-bound scions turn their backs on the family fortune.

career housewives of the 1950s, like June Cleaver and Harriet Nelson, are todays lawyers, doctors, publishers and police officers. Things change. In fact, they really never stop changing. And one day soon, long before the next double eagle on the 15th hole at Augusta, state recognition of committed relationships by people of the same gender will seem like a tradition, too. Speaking of Ruth Dwyer — Republican gubernatorial hopeful Ruthless Ruth o f T h e t f o r d had a rough time last week. Gov. Howard Dean called her an "extremist" and columnists Chris Graff and Jack Hoffman trashed her but good in their weekly weekend missives. Ruth the Truth accused H o H o of bribing House lawmakers to vote for the civil unions bill. Using the "B" word was a bit extreme, but, hey, it was just a freakin' euphemism. H o - H o put her in the same boat as Randall Terry, the out-of-state rightwing wacko, and Brian Pearl, the in-state right-wing wacko. What's that line about if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck? But seriously, as Barry Goldwater once said, "Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice." Ruth Dwyer isn't that extreme. Just check her campaign Web site — www.dwyer2000.org — and you'll see. Ruthless Ruth can't be a true extremist if Barbara Snelling likes her. In fact, Lady Babs of Shelburne is the only leading Vermont Republican mentioned by name on Ruths Web site. Ruth proudly notes that she was "appointed by Barbara Snelling to serve on her C o m m i t t e e on Educational Quality." We called Barbara Tuesday. She didn't know Ruth had used her for name-dropping purposes. Asked if she is supporting Ruthie's candidacy, Babs replied, "I will be attending Bill Meub's announcement next week." Meub, who ain't no boob, is

challenging Dwyer in the G O P primary. By the way, Mrs. Snelling is presently planning on another run for the state senate this year. What a trooper! As for Dr. Dean slapping the extremist label on Mrs. Dwyer, well, not everyone agrees. Anthony Pollina, the Progressive Party candidate for governor, told Seven Days, "There is no doubt that Dwyer is far more conservative than the majority of Vermonters. On the other hand, I don't think namecalling is a productive way to run a campaign. And from what I can tell, Howard Dean is out of touch with both his Democratic Party and the majority of Vermonters."

Good answer. Out of State Reaction? — Opponents of civil unions for gays and lesbians repeatedly claim Vermont is becoming a laughingstock because of the current legislation. Not so. In fact, there's been quite a bit of praise for our blessed little state. "With its historic vote creating 'civil unions,'" wrote the Arizona Daily Star, " the Vermont House of Representatives has shown the nation a civil solution to the emotional debate over gay marriages." The Star-Tribune of Minneapolis (that's Jesse Ventura country), lauded the quality and dignity of the debate in the Vermont House. "Legislators' heartfelt debate before House passage of a civil unions bill," wrote the Trib, "should be replicated elsewhere. If it were, the indignities gay couples endure throughout the nation would illuminate a subject seen too often through the distorting lens of prejudice and myth."

And there was also praise from our neighbor to the east. • New Hampshire's Concord Monitor wrote "Vermont is heading in the right direction. Eventually, we should all reach the same destination, leaving any sort of discrimination based on sexual orientation in our „» past. As well as high praise from the Big Apple. "Vermonters should be proud," wrote The New York Times, "that they are leading the way toward a society that values stable gay relationships... In time, Vermont's example will show the rest of the country that same-sex unions are not a threat to traditional marriage and deserve the name of marriage as well as the law's full protection." 'Course, around the Statehouse, all the talk has been about the one daily newspaper that hasn't written an editorial on civil unions — The Burlington Free Press. Hey, Freeps, cat got your tongue? Or is it, as our sources indicate, the obstinacy of one person — President and Publisher Jim Carey? ®

cabin, you can get the fever. You know what I'm talking about: Families get touchy, kids le^ve |^|hiQuse without wearing coats, you ask to be tied to a chair so you won't try to plant the garden, even though you're sorely tempted in mid-April. So here are some great diversions for the not-quite-spring season, only 90 minutes from Burlington. Some are indoors, some out, but all are guaranteed to take your mind off mud season for a little while. By now hardcore skateboarders and Rollerbladers probably have heard about TazMahal. This indoor roulodrome and skatepark is located in the heart of Montreal's Latin Quarter, at 1650 rue Berri, on the corner of Ste-Catherine. It's only one block from the University of Quebec at Montreal (UQAM) and across the street from a Berri-UQAM Metro stop. Formerly the Palais du Commerce exhibition hall, the 72,000-square-foot Taz is filled with ramps, jumps, courses and a rink for 'bladers and has plenty of loud music, hip-hop culture, rentals and even classes. You can catch "Taz-Mania" Tuesday to Thursday 4 - 9 p.m., Friday 4 p.m. - midnight, Saturday 1 p.m. - midnight and Sunday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Rates are $7 general, $6 for students, $22 for families. For more info, check out www.taz.qc.ca or call (514) 284-0051.

Montreal also boasts the largest indoor climbing center in Canada — Horizon Roc. Climbers from scared beginners to confident rock jocks will find challenging niches somewhere in the 20,000 square feet of wall, and staff members will help place you at an appropriate level for your own strength and experience. There's also a one-hour introductory program available to give neophytes a taste of the sport, at a comforting one-tothree instructor-to—student ratio. (This class requires a reservation; call during the week if you want a spot for the weekend.). Public hours for Horizon Roc are 5-11 p.m. weekdays, 10:30 a.m. - 6 p.m. Saturdays and 10:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. Sundays. The Roc is located just east of the complex that includes Olympic Stadium, the Biodome, Insectarium and Botanical Garden, making it a convenient add-on to a weekend visit. Either Sherbrooke or the faster Rue Notre Dame along the riverfront will take you to Rue Dickson; the Roc is at 2065 Rue Dickson. More details and a map are on the Web site at www.horizonroc.com. I've touted the Space Science Center and Space Camp in previous columns, but if you're looking for an old-fashioned science museum experience, head for the Redpath Museum on the McGill University campus. A mummy, a dinosaur skeleton, fossils, stuffed birds and insect collections are there to greet you and bring back

memories of grade-school field trips. It's a classic and it's free! Winter hours through May are 95 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 1-5 p.m. Sunday. The museum is closed Friday and Saturday. Redpath is an easy walk from downtown. Enter the McGill Campus at 859 Sherbrooke West and watch for signage or ask directions — in English. There's also an excellent Web site at http://blizzard.cc.mcgill.ca/Redpath/index.htm. If you can't wait to get to the beach, try the indoor beach volleyball courts at the Olympic Park. Located next to the Olympic pool, the sandy courts are used by citywide beach volleyball leagues during the week and on weekend mornings. One court is usually available for pickup play, but your best bet is to rent a court by the hour, 9:30-11 p.m. on Friday, or 12:30-6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays for $30CD. Drop-ins pay $10 per person. More information is available at (514) 252-4664 or www.saharavolleyball.qc.ca. The driving range at GolfCite, on your right after you cross the Champlain Bridge, is now open for the season, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. daily. There's a nice little terrasse-restaurant on the site, with one of the best views of the Montreal skyline and a great brunch menu. We've stopped several times on our way into the city in the morning, and while my husband unwinds on the driving range, I relax with a Mimosa and Gazette on the deck

in the sunshine. Starting in May, kids can putter around the nine-hole miniature golf, too. It's a challenge to access the place, located as it is in the middle of a cloverleaf — you'll even feel like you're going the wrong way for a while — but with patience you can get there from here. Right after the bridge, take the exit for lie des Soeurs and follow the signage for "GolfCite/Le Centre de Pratique." You can call ahead for more details at (514) 769-9976. I can't vouch for the place, not having visited yet, but I'm looking forward to shopping at El M u n d o de las Pinatas, adver-

mid-afternoon break from shopping on St-Denis. Next door, on Av. des Pins, is Waldman Plus, a nice little cafe featuring fresh fish and mussels. Hours are Saturday through Wednesday, 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. and 9 a.m. - 9 p.m. Thursday and Friday, (514) 2858747. Year-round, a great escape from the blues, bad weather or boredom is the National Film Board of Canada's CineRobotheque.

Mimosa and Gazette on the deck in the sunshine tised in a Latino paper I picked up a few months ago. From the illustrations and few words I could pick out, there is apparently a huge selection of pinatas and party favors for nihos y adultos. What better way to deck out your Cinco de Mayo party? You can find El M u n d o at 1237 JeanTalon East, or (514) 271-8781. If the weather turns bad, the kids are cranky and you want to shake them up with something completely different, I highly recommend a visit to Waldman, the renowned fish store at 76 Roy East between St-Laurent and StDenis. Seeing their beautiful displays may encourage you to stay in a suite-hotel with a kitchen so you can cook your own gourmet dinner. You can learn the French word for just about any fish, from crabs, shrimp and oysters to red snapper, salmon, skate and shark. There are wonderful prepared sauces, marinated salads and spreads, too. T h e smoked salmon and trout spreads are perfect to pair with Montreal bagels for a

for individuals or couples. You can select a film by theme, subject, title, director or awards, and watch clips before making your selection. A centerpiece of the space is the CineRobo, a gigantic robotic arm that takes your selection from one of the 2340 disc drawers and places it in the D V D player for your viewing unit. Sort of R 2 D 2 meets Wurlitzer jukebox. Everyone can pick their own entertainment, which means no fighting and no recriminations afterwards, and the charge is by the hour ($3 adults, $2 seniors and students) Tuesday through Sunday, noon 9 p.m. NFB is conveniently located one block from Taz at 1564 StDenis on the corner of Maisonneuve, right across the street from a convenient Second Cup coffee shop. Visit the Web site at www.nfb.ca/E/cinerobotheque to learn about guided tours and workshops, and to preview their film list. And don't let me hear another word about having nothing to do. (7) * .

"Bag" Lady

1-800-639-6039

n a poignant moment of a T V

documentary, Queen Elizabeth II reveals that although she carries a handbag everywhere — the kind with little handles — she keeps nothing in it. Given that she has a ladyin-waiting to hold onto the horse-racing forms and dog biscuits, the puzzle is why she carries the bag at all? The answer is that well-bred, well-dressed women of her generation didn't go out in public without coat, hat, gloves 1 and handbag. As the apotheosis of good breeding, the poor lady M l hardly has a choice! In my generation, not only is it unclear what constitutes a well-dressed woman, but also fashion and function have mostly separated, with function taking a strong lead. For reasons having to do with time and money, pure fashion is mostly confined to singular events: the wedding, the prom — in short, any event to which you might seriously consider wearing a hat. I became aware of my own sartorial confusion when the black canvas bag I've carried for the last few years fell apart. It never did suit my inner vision of how I thought a grown-up woman ought to look, so I thought, fine. I'll get something new.

bought the following: a mesh pouchy thing that behaved like a black hole (anything that went in was gone forever); a largish rectangular thing made of a synthetic material that looked unbearably sad in daylight; a smallish bag from a catalog specializing in travel-re la ted items, which held literally nothing without bulging like a snake that just ate a rat; and a sexy, middle-sized microfiber job from a luggage store with six zipper pockets, customized pockets for things like tissues and sunglasses, four pen holders, and an outer pocket that accommodated my favorite size writing notebook.

It was touchingly obvious with this last one that the designer believed she could achieve the perfect bag. And it is a fine bag, as well, only too big for casual use and too little to get me to my workplace.

Discouraged, I dug an old black suede knapsack out of deep storage. I have a flat leather thing into which I can slide credit cards and license and carry either in my back pants pocket or in a very small bag that I keep in the knapsack. Immediately, I felt comfortable with this set-up. But then I remembered I had put this knapsack away because I felt it was undignified for someone over 40. I mean, kids carry knapsacks, men carry knapsacks, but grown

Confessions...

Continued from page 4 8 women? I don't feel like I'm hanging on to my youth or making some big gender statement, I just like the freedom of it. I began to wonder how other women solved their handbag issues. To find out, I surveyed my women friends. A couple of familiar themes emerged. A therapist explained:

"Like everything else I try to make my handbag work for too many things..." My bags "are always black and I use them for work, files, appointment books, etc., so that truly, I just grab my wallet when I am going out because the whole thing is too big to carry. Sometimes I go out and buy a beautiful, expensive, smaller 'grown-up' bag and use it for a week... I am pretty sure it's an identity thing. How grown-up

am I?" And here is the line that really resonated: "I am still pondering whether to get another one which would really answer all my needs." Another friend, a frequent running partner, responded philosophically, "I thought about the fading away of my pocket book. It has grown smaller over the years... its main function seems to be that of something to

leave behind by a c c i d e n t . . P think we're evolving to the 'pocket' as a pocketbook with the 'car' as back-up. I still have the dangling appendage, but the pocketbook-ectomy is coming." A novelist friend replied: "I began carrying a shoulder bag in seventh grade, but only because I realized with horror that there was no way to stay prepared for menstruation with just my regular clothes, which either had small pockets or no pockets. I hated having this extra appendage and have never lost that feeling, so I have spent about the last 10 years avoiding handbags...I carry my wallet — and tampons — in my pocket, or use a fanny pack." Only one friend, a bass player in an all-women rock band, admitted to liking handbags. "It began in the form of a lunch box, then a backpack, and finally a girlie bag in which I could hide my favorite things, photos of boys, cigarettes, money, Bonnie Bell strawberry lip gloss. My purse was a vehicle in which I could carry my tiny world." She even admitted to having a boxful of glittering bags for evening. But remember — this is a woman who carries her work in a guitar case and actually has a nightlife! A thirtysomething former high-school drop-out now finishing college told me: "Some people just aren't made to carry handbags...I wear backpacks...I keep them for ages and may even have been born wearing one. I've had this one leather backpack forever, at least 16 years, and it looks like it has a skin disease. My old friends recognize it before they recognize me." A twentysomething art student in Oakland noted: "I carry a backpack everywhere I go. I have three sizes — my everyday backpack, my mid-size, threeday-trip backpack and my superduper backpacking backpack with all the latest doodads and gadgets." She did not appear to have any fashion qualms whatsoever. Most of my friends, especially the older ones, revealed lingering frustration with the fashionfunction problem, and almost everyone expressed the wish one didn't have to carry the durned thing at all. I was gratified by how many, of all ages, confessed they liked backpacks. Further inquiry revealed that even those who said they used only a small bag often had to supplement that with a larger 'something-orother,'" Insight into this fine mess came at lunch with another friend who declared she never carries a handbag, favoring instead beat-up old canvas bags and shopping bags for workrelated stuff (she also lives and works in sweatpants, dressing up , only for singular events). "Accessories," she said, firmly squirting ketchup on her burger. "It boils down to that. For most of our mothers the handbag was truly an accessory. My mother

had lots of them and took for granted that you changed them for different seasons and occasions. God knows what she put in it. Tissues, cough drops, lipstick, compact, wallet. Most of our mothers didn't go to work the way we do. They didn't have to carry a computer, books, ledgers, whatever. We remember how nice they looked in their gloves and hats and little handbags — not even shoulder bags! Our needs are utterly changed, but our expectations haven't caught up." A few days later I am at the house of one of my daughter's friends. Her mother asks me what I am up to these days and I say, well, I'm writing this thing about handbags and I am mightily confused. "Let me show you what I do," she says, becoming wonderfully animated. She pulls a chic little black number out of a big carry-all made of luscious black saddlebag leather. "I've had the big bag for about 20 years," she says, "and I use this small one when I'm running to the market or going out." While she admits the carry-all can get a bit heavy, and demonstrates by putting two large hardcover art books in it, she declares total contentment with her system. I go home excited. Finally, I see that my confusion is the result of the fact that, even though my needs don't mesh with the 'handbag as accessory' idea, I can't seem to let it go. My friend had achieved satisfaction, by first understanding her needs, then finding bags to fit. I would suggest that, at the very least, most women today need to devise two modes for transporting their stuff — one large and one small. To figure out what suits you, all you need to do is honestly evaluate what you do already. Once you know your style, then fashion can enter in. If you are a pocket person, that has to come into consideration at all times when you're buying clothes. Or perhaps you only really like shopping bags? Become a connoisseur: collect them. Ralph Lauren makes a nice bag with rope handles, I've noticed. You can spend big money on good materials, too...like, maybe your stuff only looks right when strewn casually across the back seat of a Jag. I look over at my old friend, my knapsack, with new fondness. It suits me, and that is a fact. I like walking to work and I like having my hands free. But now, suddenly, I'm wondering what she will carry, the first woman to occupy the Oval Office. I've never seen a male president carry anything more than a sheaf of papers for a speech he is about to give. Will she break free, or will she, in order to lessen the insult of the awesome power she wields, carry a dainty bag full of cough drops, lipstick and tissues? I hope not. I like to think she will stride down those long hallways unfettered and confident, hands free and . ready to tackle anything. ®

Weekly Continued from page 4 ad is eroding-women's power of consent and encouraging an assault. It is not clear from the picture to what gender the model of the shot belongs. One might be societally conditioned to recognize hairless legs in high-heeled shoes as female, but it isn't necessarily so. I'm not exactly sure how anything qualifies for being "sexually available to our gaze," but that description sounds like half of the images and objects in the paper, gathering from the content of many "personals" listings. As far as any constructive criticism about body language and sexual messages go, one could more easily infer that because the legs are held together (and not apart), sexual permissiveness is nil. That is, as long as you would entertain conclusions about the theoretical person to whom the legs belong and their sexual availability. If any associations involving power are clear, I would think that the view of the legs from a lower, or inferior, angle than they are traditionally seen gives power to the model, since the model's head was obviously above the camera. Human legs are and continue to be a source of power wielded by the possessor of them, since they support most of us in our daily lives. And then there is the ad copy itself. I may not be an oenologist, but I can appreciate making puns of words (legs, body) which are used to describe human forms and also [wine]. Does this playful speech deserve to be causally linked, even secondhand, to rape? I don't think so. While I agree that there have been plenty of advertisements, especially for alcohol, which have had subtly vile content and messages...I simply don't think this is one of those situations. Any good student of psychology should know that so-called "subliminal advertising" is scientifically unsound, contrary to its mythologized effectiveness. Sure, it may be dramatic to think secret messages could be flashed to your subconscious mind without your conscious mind being aware of it, but it simply does not work. Similarly, I do not agree that without a reader's consent or awareness, some message or association can infect their thought patterns and wreak sociosexual havoc, contributing to social ills in such a way.

Dear Tom and Ray: This is the craziest thing I've ever experienced. Two months ago, I had the rear tires replaced on my '92 Ford Explorer. Two days ago, the vehicle was wandering all over the road. I thought I had serious alignment problems, so I looked at each of the tires. The left-rear tire's lug nuts were all loose, and one stud bolt was rolling around inside the hubcap! I took it back to the garage, and it replaced the broken stud. My first thought was that the mechanic didn't tighten the lug nuts enough when he changed

the tire. But the garage said if the lug nuts were loose, it never would have gone for two months of daily driving. The garage told me its wrecker driver has customers sign a waiver every time he changes an aluminum rim on an Explorer, because they have a reputation for coming o f f . Now the shocker: The garage man said, "Do you remember that wreck on U.S. 127a month ago? Well, an Explorer rolled over because one of its wheels came o f f " Is this fact or fiction? —Andy RAY: Sounds like fiction to me, Andy. 1 mean, if you forgot to tighten someone's lug nuts, would you admit it? T O M : We've never heard of

any particular problem with Ford Explorer alloy wheels coming off. And when we checked the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's list of safety complaints for the '92 Explorer, there were only three out of many hundreds that had to do with wheels coming off. T h a t doesn't suggest an epidemic, since those could have been due to mechanical screw-ups as well. RAY: There is a Technical Service Bulletin concerning the use of power air wrenches on Ford wheels. But that has more to do with the dangers of overtightening than undertightening — you can warp the brake, , rotors if you use an air wrench without a device called a "torque stick" that prevents overtightening. T O M : And it might be that, due to this warning, some mechanics are being so careful N O T to overtighten the lug

P h o n e : 828-5215

nuts on Explorers — because customers come back and scream at them for warping the discs — that they're being too careful and leaving them too loose. RAY: I tell the guys in my garage not to worry about overtightening the lug nuts. T h e way I figure it, if something goes wrong, I'd rather give the guy a new rotor than explain to his widow that I was just being careful not to overtighten anything. T O M : And it C A N take two months for loose lug nuts to come off. We've seen it happen before. At some point, one nut gets loose enough and comes off, and then things go downhill rapidly. And in many cases, a wheel bolt or two will break, „ just like yours did. RAY: There's no way to prove it now, but my guess is that one of two things happened. Either the shop turned down

apr

the air pressure on its power tools in order to avoid warping the disc rotors, and simply turned down the pressure too much ... T O M : Or, after tightening the nuts on one side, and maybe part of the second side, the mechanic got a phone call from his wife. T h e n he went to get some coffee, went to the bathroom, stopped to chat with the secretary, and when he came back to your car, he forgot all about the nuts he hadn't tightened yet. RAY: But at least you noticed the strange handling and had the good sense to pull over. That's a good lesson for everyone else reading today. If you had kept driving, the wheel almost certainly would have fallen off. And then we might be e x p l a i n * . a l l this to your heirs instead of you, Andy.

COMBINED NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AND OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS TO ALL INTERESTED AGENCIES, GROUPS, PERSONS: The Purpose of this Notice is to identify two separate but related actions to be taken by the State of Vermont with the Burlington Community and Economic Development Office (CEDO) as administrator and by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). On or about May 5, 2 0 0 0 , the above named will request that HUD release funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1 9 7 4 (PL 9 3 - 3 8 3 ) and the National Affordable Housing Act to be used for the following project: Project Title: Lund Family Center Transitional Housing of McAuley Square Housing Purpose/Nature of Project: To provide safe, decent and affordable housing through the construction of 11 units of affordable housing for pregnant and parenting teens. This is part of a 7 4 unit affordable housing project at McAuley Square. Location of Project: McAuley Square (off Mansfield Avenue) Burlington, VT Estimated Cost of Project: Total project, $ 9 , 5 0 0 , 0 0 0 . Lund Housing $ 9 3 8 , 6 9 5 .

They're not that An article in the February 18 Wall Street Journal says, "The average mattress will double its weight in 10 years as a result of beingprolific." filled with dust mites and their detritus. " This sounds impossible. Is it Thomas Platts-Mills, professor of medicine and dust-mite true? Who figured this out, and how? guru at the University of Virginia, agreed. "I've heard that kind of —Nicki, via the Internet stuff," he said. "I don't believe it. I'm sure there's an added weight but I don't think anyone has ever actually measured it." He suggested that perhaps someone vacuumed up a sample of dust-miteladen household crud and extrapolated from that to the total Jeepers. You know how at night, when everything is still, you hear this faint roaring sound? Some people say its the blood rush- weight of a mattress. Extrapolation can be a funny thing. You'll remember the column I did extrapolating from the reproduction ing in your ears. Uh-uh.

ology

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): You know how some people love to fall in love over and over again? Often it's just an excuse for them to fall back in love with themselves. Each new beau is a pawn in their strategy for coming home to the source of their deepest passions. What I'd like to ask these people is: W h y not just eliminate the middleman? I'm not necessarily saying this is advice you need right now, Aries. But then, why did that little voice in my head insist that I tell it to you?

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): I know of a Jehovah's Witness who has knocked on doors for more than 11 years without converting a single nonbeliever. Does this religious devotee possess an undaunted faith and holy determination that will be rewarded in heaven? Maybe. But what if the truer story is that he is too stuck in his ways to pursue a more productive calling? What if he is perversely blind to the clear signals life seems to be giving him? The moral of the tale, Taurus, is that it's time to ask the same questions about the most futile aspect of your own fate. Should you keep plodding along, inflamed with righteous persistence? O r is it high time to move on?

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): You're the fray in the fabric, Gemini — and that's good. You're the monkey wrench in the works, the pothole in the road, the voice in the wilderness — and that's very, very good. Because if you weren't there to question everyone's motives, silliness and superficiality would soon triumph. If you weren't gutsy enough to call everyone's bluff and keep people honest, sins of omission would quickly make once-noble plans a joke. So don't sit on your objections. Be a big, sweet, idealistic pain in the ass. J

CANCER (June 21-July 22): A quantum leap is a radical shift beyond what was previously imaginable. It can be problematic even as it's exhilarating. Physicist Fred Alan Wolfe notes that in his field, such a leap often "leads to personal regrets, even though its ultimate consequences produce a new vision of humanity and the universe." Einstein, Planck and Schrodinger, whose revolutionary work shredded the old physics, "were sadly upset with their discoveries," Wolfe says. "Whenever a quantum leap occurs," he concludes, "there is something...that tends to resist it. In matter we call it inertia, in mind we call it prejudice or...pigheadedness." I hope Wolfe's words give you the inspiration to press on, dear Cancerian, as you both mourn and celebrate in the wake of your own quantum leap. L E O

(July 23-Aug. 22): In case

you haven't noticed, the Great Treasure H u n t is well underway. Quick! Don't fall behind. Retrace your steps and try to recover the hot tips you've overlooked. Then make yourself hyper-alert for the slew of new clues that'll be arriving any minute. In fact, here comes one now: What current situation in your life is most like a duty-free store in an international airport or a speakeasy during the Prohibition Era?

mations are true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningful in some sense, true and false in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense." As you digest this gem, Virgo, I predict that your mind will be zapped free of any tendencies to believe that thinking alone can solve everything. You will thereby be rendered delightfully empty and robustly innocent, allowing you to enjoy the irrational bliss that life will soon be offering you.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): First of all, my friend, you don't need no second-hand anything, let alone second-hand love. Second of all, dearest, you are hereby ordered not to hang around any third-rate situations where you feel like a fifth wheel. You savvy? Thirdly, wonderful one, keep in mind that any eight ball you may think you're behind is afigmentof your own delusions. Fourthly, lover, I assure you that your sixth sense can now lead you — if you strip it of all superstitious fear — to a place that is, for all intents and purposes, a suburb of seventh heaven.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Earnest Benn once offered this definition: "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy." I'm afraid, Scorpio, that there are a few people in your sphere who are (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): now flirting with that strategy. What's Please meditate on the following holy even more worrisome is that your text from the Discordian Book of decisions are on the verge of being Secrets: Sri syadasti syadavaktavya distorted by their cracked notions. I syadasti syannasti syadasti cavaktavyasca beg you to try your best to stop them syadasti syannasti syadavatavyasca from heading straight to hell; but at syadasti syannasti syadavaktavyasca. In the very least, don't hop on their case you don't understand Sanskrit, bandwagon and merrily join them in Virgo, here's the translation: "All affirtheir journey.

VIRGO

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): "Dear Reverend Brezsny: I'm pretty happy with God. My life is good. The only complaint I have is, when will I get to be in an all-night drug-induced orgy like my friend Leah? I'm in good shape, have an open mind, and am not a scaredycat. W h y won't God give me a chance to go totally out of control? — Simmering Sagittarius." Dear Simmering: Coincidentally, God is willing to open the doors of perception pretty wide for you in the coming weeks. However, He prefers for you to lose your inhibitions in a way that doesn't risk your mental health or rack up sloppy karma. He'll also love it if you get wild in a way that ultimately gives you more control over your life. Skip the drugs, in other words.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): The girl from down the street is selling cookies door-to-door to raise money for her Sunday School class' trip to Disneyland. Her knock comes just as you sit down to dinner in front of the TV, finally ready to put a hard day's work at the office behind you. What do you do? A) You open the door and tell her she has a lot of nerve bugging you when you're trying to unwind. B) Pretending to be an angry dog, you bark viciously behind the closed door until she goes away C) You fling a $10 bill at her through a crack in the door and order her to leave the damn cookies on the porch. D) You happily ignore her, not wasting even five seconds on worrying about what you should do. (P.S. The correct answer, if you hope to be in tune with cosmic currents, is "D,")

iQUARIUSi: Feb. 18): An apprentice violinlaker works eight years before ; being considered ready to practice the craft seriously Likewise, aikido adepts tell me that it takes at least two decades to master the moves and spirit of their martial art. I hope this helps put into perspective the skills you're struggling to perfect now. They simply wouldn't be worth learning if you were already a whiz. There's no rush, speedo. Give yourself more credit for how far you've already come.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Time to specialize, Pisces. Of the three kinds of pleasures outlined below, please focus on just one. Right brain joys: Fantasize about future travel. Escape to your room with a book you've been longing to dive into. Balance a spoon on your nose. As you gaze out the window, daydream about all the varieties of the color green. Left brain joys: Schedule every moment. Return phone calls promptly Organize finances. Clean desks. Figure out short cuts. North brain joys: Study books that describe techniques for conjuring up more sexual fun. Make plans to bring a fresh assortment of delicious tastes into your diet. Research how to find great new music outside the narrow range of styles offered on the radio. ®
