‘You but better,’ neon shades among top spring makeup looks

W

hile I am partial to fall, the spring and summer have tons of things that make me happy.

There’s (seemingly) endless daylight, margaritas to be enjoyed on a deck somewhere and the opening of ice cream shops across the region.

This warmer weather also has me ready for some new beauty.

I scoured social media along with the rest of the interwebs to track down some of spring’s biggest beauty trends in makeup and skin care for you. Grab a cocktail or a caramel sundae, and let’s get started.

Stained lips As the weather warms up, soft, stained shades on lips are an easy way to add some color. They’re also foolproof since they don’t require preciseness and harsh edges.

MAC Cosmetics Powder Kiss lipstick or Benefit Cosmetics Benetint will produce that “just bitten” look, but you also can do it yourself. Apply lip liner or liquid lipstick to the center of your lips and work outward with your finger or a lip brush for the same muted finish. It should almost give the illusion that you just had a ice pop — the softer the lines, the better.

Vibrant eyes The ’80s called, and they want you to rock their signature neons.

Bright, color block shades on eyes dominated the spring 2019 Fashion Week runways and were seen all over the red carpets this past award season. Brands also offered an array of technicolor goodies this spring, including Colourpop Cosmetics Just My Luck palette in a sea of greens, Anastasia Beverly Hills Riveria palette that holds jewel tones and neon pink and purple pressed pigments, and Jeffree Star Cosmetics Blue Blood palette and its icy color story.

Supernatural nude We love fresh, glowing skin, and from Instagram influencers to celebrities, a “you but better” look is everywhere.

Take a page from celebrity makeup artist Sir John and apply foundation or CC cream with a beauty sponge while moisturizer is still wet. This helps the product melt into skin for a seamless, natural-looking blend.

Then, embrace your natural features with a little brow pomade to enhance texture and use a just-redder-than-your-skin color on cheeks and lips. Top with a subtle cream highlight in your skin tone for extra glow.

CBD and hemp seed oil skin care Cannabidiol, or CBD, and hemp seed oil have become buzz words over the past few years. Now, they’re cropping up in skin care from industry veterans such as Kiehl’s or newer cool-kid brand Herbivore Botanicals.

Let’s start here: Neither hemp seed oil nor CBD will get you high. CBD, a chemical compound found in cannabis sativa plant, is nonpsychoactive. Hemp seed oil also comes from a variety of the plant and, once processed, does not contain any psychoactive compounds.

CBD soothes irritation and dryness in skin, while hemp seed oil is known to help with dry skin, reduce inflammation and alleviate skin issues including eczema.

Gold This season is the time to be a golden goddess. Gold lids dominated spring runways, but adding a touch of gold to your makeup look will amp it up.

You can rock glitter or metallic on eyes, lips or as highlight, and it can give off vibes anywhere from ethereal princess to disco queen.

Hydroponic farmers transform eatery into High Bridge House

BY PATRICE WILDING Staff Writer

T

ucked away on Route 502 just a few minutes from main roads in Spring Brook Twp., the High Bridge House towers above nearby pastures and fields as a culinary destination worth a short car ride.

In December 2017, the property formerly known as the Cardinal Inn and Grassi’s Restaurant came under the ownership of North Pocono High School graduates Michele and Warren Kramer III, a married couple who also started the Pocono Hydrofarm in Daleville four years ago.

The duo had always hoped to find the right opportunity to open a restaurant, and they found a good fit with the High Bridge House, where their farm-to-table dishes feature fresh produce from their nearby hydroponic farm.

Guests can expect that the Boston bibb and Romaine lettuces found in Caesar, house and Cobb salads for lunch and dinner were plucked that same morning, the Kramers promised.

“We pick our lettuce every day,” Michele Kramer said, adding that many of the Italian-American dishes on the menu also feature fresh basil from the farm.

Aside from the show-stopping leafs piled high on plates, the High Bridge House is home to a grandiose dining room, complete with large-scale murals on the walls and a tall, wooden centerpiece structure that holds an aquarium and fireplace flanked by or nate lions’ head carvings.

“The woodwork has that ‘wow’ factor,” Michele Kramer noted.

The previous owner undertook extensive renovations before the Kramers bought the business, which also

includes six functional rooms for rent upstairs and a private banquet hall downstairs that can hold up to 125. The main dining area seats about 80 with room for another 40 in the bar, where lively musical entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights gets guests up on their feet to dance.

An outside patio, meanwhile, seats an extra 25, and later this spring, it will be fully enclosed in glass to make it accessible year-round.

Indoors, however, the High Bridge House makes customers of all ages and tastes feel cozy.

“The booths give everyone their own private feel,” War-

ren Kramer said. “We want them to leave here happy and full. We try to incorporate a good atmosphere along with the good food.”

Chef Jeff Jason is a longtime friend of the owners, who knew his cooking from his tenure at Olde Brook Inn. Among Jason’s standout dishes are his daily specials, from endless penne vodka and complete roast beef dinners on Mondays to Taco Tuesdays supplemented by an extensive Mexican menu.

Wednesdays are Burger Nights, while Thursdays put cheesesteaks in the spotlight.

And on the regular menu, housemade tater tots are a

NEPA Phil presents nature-inspired concert with guest violinist

ust in time for the trees to bud and flowers to shoot up through the thawed ground, the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic draws attention to nature.

The orchestra presents its final Masterworks concert of the season, dubbed “Inspired

by Nature,” on Friday, April 5, at 8 p.m. in Peoples Security Bank Theater at Lackawanna College, Scranton. Under the leadership of interim music director Mélisse Brunet, the program will include Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” with guest soloist Yevgeny Kutik on violin and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6, “Pastorale.”

While Beethoven’s piece places listeners in the Viennese countryside, the “Four Seasons” consists of four works with narrative elements that take inspiration f ro m s p r i n g , s u m m e r, autumn and winter and the nature of each. Vivaldi’s related his work, written around 1720, to sonnets about the seasons, and the music reflects certain sounds of the world, such as birds chirping.

“The fact that he was writing this almost (300) years ago and did that is remarkable,” Kutik said last month by phone from Boston, where he lives.

The violinist noted how even people who don’t listen to classical music tend to know the “Four Seasons.”

“It’s just very approachable, and I think part of it ... has to do with these sonnets that Vivaldi wrote, because they’re very descriptive, and everybody can understand what he’s saying.

Violinist Yevgeny Kutik will perform as soloist with Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic at its Masterworks concert Friday, April 5, in Scranton.

changes of the year that everybody knows and has a very specific song,” Kutik added.

“To put that to music is like just such a great way to kind of connect with the average listener. ... Sometimes in classical music we have a problem with the music not being approachable or being too daunting to too overwhelming for people who don’t list to classical music on a regular basis. But I feel like this piece breaks down that wall before you even play the first piece.”

Kutik previously performed in NEPA last year, when he played with pianist Spencer Myer in a philharmonic chamber concert.

Kutik said that performance “went quite well” and that he enjoyed playing in the region.

“I loved meeting the people coming (to the concert),” he said. “It was a great environment in which to make music and (I) am very excited to come back and play with the orchestra and work with the conductor.”

Those who enjoy what Kutik has to offer with the philharmonic can also check him out Tuesday, April 23, in his debut at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts

SuBMITTEd PhoTo

in Washington, D.C. There he will perform two pieces from his album “Meditations on Family,” which came out last month. For the album, Kutik commissioned eight composers to write a short piece based on one of their family photos.

Kutik, who emigrated from the for mer Soviet Union in 1990, said his family of musicians brought with them “a bunch of old music that really helped me later on in life when I started my career to better understand my culture and my cultural

background.” That music inspired his 2014 album, “Music from the Suitcase.”

“I kind of wanted to continue down that road. ... (The composers) all have family.

They all have histories. They all have stories,” Kutik said.

“I’m trying to make that into a user-friendly way.”

Kutik called each piece “a giant surprise.”

“What I loved about the project was I had no idea what each composer would write, and I was just amazed,” he said. “Each one just goes down

a completely different road, and the photographs that they chose are very fascinating.”

Business for the orchestra, meanwhile, remains on an upswing after it suspended operations for the 2017-18 season so it could develop a plan to stay financially viable. Nancy Sanderson, philharmonic executive director, said she expects to announce the next season’s lineup by the end of April.

“I think that what I’d like everyone to know is that we have made serious progress on paying our debts, and so

we have a season plan for the 2019-20 season,” she said.

“We’ll be back. And I think that’s the important piece — to let everybody know that we’re in good enough shape.

The first year, it really was all about seeing if this area could support it, and we’re happy that the area has stepped up and purchased tickets — that’s a big part of it — and donated.”

Scranton Prep Players learn from Broadway vet Judy McLane

BY GIA MAZUR Staff Writer

he Scranton Prep Players got the chance to learn from a Broadway star.

Before the students sing and dance along to the music of Swedish pop quartet ABBA in jukebox musical “Mamma Mia,” the cast took a master class with Judy McLane. The Olyphant native and Great White Way veteran starred in the musical on Broadway for over a decade, first in the role of Tanya and then as the show’s lead, Donna.

The opportunity to work with young people in her home region and to get back in touch with “Mamma Mia” made for a special experience for her.

“It’s a chance for me to give back,” said McLane, who teaches master classes to students around the country and gives private voice lessons in New York City. “I got to a place where I said, ‘Wow, there’s so much I can pass on.’ ... The students know I’m a performer, and it helps in a way. ... You’re doing it and bring more back to the table when you come back.”

Prep’s show will take place Fridays, April 5 and 12, and Saturdays, April 6 and 13, at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays, April 7 and 14, at 2 p.m. in the school’s St. Robert Bellarmine Theatre, 1000 Wyoming Ave. Tickets cost $10 for general admission and will be available at the door. For

The cast worked with McLane for a few hours — using songs from the show, other Broadway selections and some pop songs — on everything from vocal technique and breathing to understanding the context of the material.

“Judy was an amazing teacher,” said junior and ensemble member Caroline Lapinski. “It was easy to understand what she wanted from us. She also gave lots of advice for not only practicing on our own but also for taking our next steps into musical theater as a career.”

Burton’s remake of Disney classic complex, darker than original

A

fter all these decades as a cuddly cartoon creation, Dumbo has come to life.

OK, fine, we’re not seeing an actual living baby elephant with gigantic ears in Tim Burton’s “Dumbo,” but the little guy sure LOOKS real, and as you’d expect, he’s super cute, with some of the warmest eyes in CGI history.

And when he takes flight, how can you not be Team Dumbo?

Dumbo 2.0 is I believe the 11th entry in the ongoing and quite possibly never-ending parade of Disney’s liveaction adaptations of its iconic catalogue of animated classics, which includes past efforts such as the Johnny Depp-starring “Alice in Wond e rl a n d ” m ov i e s, Jo n Favreau’s “The Jungle Book” and Bill Condon’s lavish and wonderful “Beauty and the Beast,” with live-action takes on “Aladdin” and “The Lion King,” among others, on tap.

It’s a genius of a blueprint, even if not every one of these reboots has worked or will work. (Lord knows the prerelease publicity for “Aladdin” hasn’t gone according to plan, though as always, we’ll take the revolutionary stance of reserving judgment on a movie until we’ve actually SEEN the movie.)

Of course, Tim Burton’s live-action, PG-rated, 112-minute-long version of “Dumbo” is weirder and more complex and darker than the original animated tale, which had a running time of just 64 minutes and was fairly simplistic — although it did contain that infamous “Pink Elephants on Parade” hallucinogenic scene.

Burton’s version (with a screenplay by Ehren Kruger, whose credits include “The Ring,” yikes!) pays tribute to the “Pink Elephants” sequence, among other

touchstones from the original, and holds true to the basic framework of the story about a misfit baby elephant with unnaturally large ears who learns that if he flaps those ears he can fly.

But he packs this story with a host of new characters and complexities, sometimes heavy-handed social commentary, and a few jarringly anachronistic touches, including a cameo by a certain pop culture figure that’s equal parts hilarious and “What is even happening right now?”

Brimming with Burton’s typically unique and eye-popping visuals, which often recall slightly feverish dreams

Stars: Colin Farrell, Michael Keaton, Danny Devito, Eva Green Rated: PG for peril/ action, some thematic elements, and brief mild language Running time: 112 min.

Grade: ★★★ (out of four)

come to life, “Dumbo” opens in 1919, with the ramshackle traveling circus operated by one Max Medici (a perfectly cast Danny DeVito) experiencing hard times.

Colin Farrell (wrestling his Irish accent into submission for the most part, with only a few lapses) is the former horseback-ridin’ circus sensation Holt Farrier, who returns from World War I with a chestful of medals and a missing right arm.

Oh, and Holt’s wife died while he was overseas, so

now it’s just Holt and his super-smart daughter, Milly ( N i c o Pa rke r ) , wh o dreams of becoming a scientist and changing the world, and his sweet son, Joe (Finley Hobbins).

Oh, and Max sold Holt’s horses while Holt was away.

Geez! A one-armed widower with two kids who has lost his horses? That’s bleak, even by Disney back-story standards.

Max takes pity on Holt and gives him a job tending to the elephants, including a recent acquisition, who is about to give birth.

Enter Dumbo.

Milly and Joe bond with the little guy, and together the three of them discover that if Dumbo flaps his ears, he can fly!

Word of the sensational flying elephant spreads across the land and attracts the interest of the flamboyant, big-time entertainment

entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton, hamming it up in appropriately over-the-top fashion), who swoops in, strikes a deal with Max, and arranges to bring the entire troupe to his newest, state-of-the-art entertainment spectacle, with Dumbo as the star attraction.

I don’t think I trust this Vandevere guy.

Eva Green — like Keaton and DeVito, a Burton favorite — plays the French aerial artist Colette, who is to be teamed with Dumbo.

(Colette’s particular journey is one of the more delightful aspects of the story.) Alan Arkin has a hilarious extended cameo as a banker who barks his lines as if he’s lost his hearing aid.

Burton’s infatuation with grand spectacle actually undercuts the film’s emotional impact, especially during the great-looking but overly busy finale, which includes a pretty nifty but utterly unnecessary, inside-out callback to the Keaton-DeVito dynamic in “Batman Returns.”

There’s so much going on in the home stretch — so many fireworks, so many mini-dramas within the larger drama — we come close to losing sight of what “Dumbo” should be all about: the brave little flying elephant, his quest to be reunited with his mother, and the lovable, ragtag circus folk who band together to thwart the evil villains and save the day.

Fortunately, Dumbo is so awesome and so determined and so brave, and the heartwarming aspects of the story are so impactful, we never stop caring.

Cartoon or live action, Dumbo remains a hero for the ages.

RICHARD ROEPER reviews movies for The Chicago SunTimes. Distributed by Universal Press Syndicate.

Mini movies Captive State: Like every major city in 2027, Chicago is under the control of alien invaders, but a ragtag band of human insurgents is putting up resistance. Despite plenty of action, it’s more cerebral social commentary than bloodand-guts sci-fi thriller. Rated PG-13 for sci-fi violence and action, some sexual content, brief language and drug material. 109 minutes. ★★★ — RICHARD ROEPER

Gloria Bell: Julianne Moore gives a luminous performance as the title character, a divorced mother of adult children and a regular at a Los Angeles disco. This is a quiet film, moving at its own pace, reflecting life with such realism it’s as if we’re invisible guests in Gloria Bell’s life.

Rated R for sexuality, nudity, language and some drug use.

101 minutes. ★★★ 1/2 — RICHARD ROEPER

Hotel Mumbai: While this depiction of the 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai can be an emotionally rough viewing experience, it’s an impressively staged, unfiltered, sometimes shockingly visceral film with stellar performances from the top-tier cast, including Dev Patel, Armie Hammer and Jason Isaacs. Rated R for disturbing violence throughout, bloody images, and language. 125 minutes. ★★★ — GARy THOmPsOn

Us: In the follow-up to his horror insta-classic “Get Out,” Jordan Peele directs with feverish style and coaxes insanely entertaining performances from actors playing family members and their creepy doppelgangers.

There’s something thrilling about exiting a film and instantly wanting to see it again. Rated R for violence and terror, and language. 120 minutes. ★★★★ — RICHARD ROEPER

EVENTS PLANNED TO MARK SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH

By Gia Mazur Staff WrIter

The staff and volunteers of Women’s Resource Center want the community to know who they are and what they do.

During April, which is Sexual Assault Awareness month, WRC has planned events to promote its plight as well as

educate the community on sexual violence against women and men. WRC crisis and advocate services director Anna Faramelli said that, while the organization has always commemorated Sexual Assault Awareness Month, this year it wanted to try to reach as many people as it can.

“We want everyone to feel comfortable approaching us and talking about it,” Faramelli said, adding the organization serves Lackawanna and Susquehanna counties.

During Scranton’s First Friday Art Walk on April 5, the art installation “What Were You Wearing?” will be on

display from 5 to 8 p.m. at Elm Park United Methodist Church, 712 Linden St. The exhibit displays 18 outfits hanging next to 18 rape survivors’ stories about what they were wearing while they were attacked.

At Lackawanna County Courthouse Square, participants can paint rocks

teal — the color associated with sexual assault awareness — along with words or messages of support.

Talking about these issues can be uncomfortable, executive director Peg Ruddy said, but the events make the subject accessible.

“They’re positive events, and they kind of take away that stigma,” she said. “These conversations can be difficult, and having this kind of outreach makes it easier.”

Aside from the events on First Friday, WRC has a host of other activities planned throughout the month.

On Thursday, April 4, at 4 p.m., WRC will partner with the Marywood University Graduate School of Social Work Association and the Human Trafficking Awareness & Prevention Committee for a screening of “I Am Jane Doe” in Room B in the Swartz Conference Centre for Spiritual Life at Marywood. A question-and-answer panel will follow with representatives from WRC, Marywood and Penn State University.

T h e Wi l k e s - B a r r e / S c r a n t o n Penguins will host WRC Night on Saturday, April 13, at 7 p.m. at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza, 255 Highland Park Blvd., Wilkes-Barre Twp. Of every ticket sold, $4 will be donated to WRC. And on Sunday, April 14, at 2 p.m., people can bring their dogs to Z u m m o ’s C a f e, 9 1 6 M a r i o n S t . , Scranton, for a Yappy Hour. They also

are asked to donate an item for WRC hospital bags, which go to local hospitals for victims of sexual assault after their clothing has been collected as evidence. Items to donate include T-shirts, pants, socks, intimate appeal and personal hygiene items.

O n We d n e s d ay, Ap r i l 2 4 , t h e community is asked to wear denim in a campaign that began when women of the Italian parliament came to work wearing jeans to protest an overturned rape conviction where the survivor was wearing jeans. The justices felt that, since the survivor wore tight jeans when she was attacked, she must have helped her rapist remove them, implying consent.

WRC and its staff want women and men to know the services are out there if they need them. The monthlong schedule of events serves as a way for community members to learn about the importance of Sexual Assault Awareness Month and show support to survivors.

“It really does take the whole community to end sexual violence against women and men,” Ruddy said. “So the diversity of these events reaches so many people and maybe community members that we would not be able to interact with otherwise.”

EMPTY BOTTLES / CALENDAR

Empty Bottles BY DAVID FALCHEK Paper Plane a newer cocktail worthy of bartenders’ canon

O

ne of the youngest classic cocktails is the Paper Plane.

It not only is simple but also taps into contemporary cocktail trends. Like the classic cocktail the Last Word, it is comprised of equal parts of four ingredients, so there is not much to memorize. Like an evolved Manhattan, the Paper Plane includes bourbon, amaro, Aperol and lemon juice.

The cocktail was created

by Sam Ross, a baby-faced hipster who bartended at New York’s Milk & Honey at the crest of the cocktail revolution and now operates the space as Attaboy alongside a newer New York City bar, Diamond Reef. He’s one of the few living bartenders whose creations have made it into the bartender’s canon.

He also created the excellent whiskey drink Penicillin and the Gordon’s Breakfast, a savory gin cocktail that

sounds gross on paper (I have yet to try it).

The Paper Plane embraces hot trends in cocktails, such as whiskey and the contrasting intensities of bitter and sweet.

For the bourbon, I use Basil Hayden’s, perhaps the lightest of all bourbons.

Made by whiskey titan Buffalo Trace, Basil shows honey and floral notes and subtlety that makes it a great supporting player for some cocktails.

It is an excellent sipping bourbon for anyone but especially for those starting to get into American whiskeys.

Aperol originated as an aperitif. The bittersweet cocktail addition is used as a lower-alcohol, less-intense version of Campari. Many enjoy it on ice or as an Aperol spritz.

Amaro means “bitter,” and amaros (or amari) are indeed bitter, that quality derived from macerating

herbs and other botanicals.

I tried the entry-level amaro, Ramazzotti, which tastes syrupy and is dominated by licorice character.

Shake those ingredients, in equal parts, on ice, pour the mixture into the glass of your choice with a lemon rind garnish and enjoy this new classic. The ingredients combine to create a deeply flavored drink that starts out bitter then moderates, showing character of iced tea and

cherry. The lemon juices keeps it crisp.

I tried the Paper Plane with Bulleit Bourbon, which stood up better to the intensity of the amaro and Aperol for a more balanced cocktail, even with the stronger alcohol in Bulleit.

Feel free to try this with your favorite whiskey or brown spirit. Great cocktails like the Paper Plane have a versatility and adapt to shifting ingredients.

SOUNDS / CALENDAR

Sounds BY MIKE EVANS Grab the latest from three returning acts Panda Bear — ‘Buoys’ THE GOOD: Animal Collective member Panda Bear (singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/producer Noah Lennox) comes back with an intimate sixth solo record.

THE BAD: Nothing.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Still a member of Animal Collective, Lennox wasn’t part of the group’s last record, “Tangerine Reef,” a one-off collaboration with a marine biologist. His absence is completely excusable though if he was working on “Buoys” instead.

The new album strips away many of the electronics and psychedelic atmospherics of past works and shows the singer in a much different light. Lennox always put those otherworldly sounds to good use, but it’s cool hearing the man show off his pure pop chops as he delivers simple, echo-drenched compositions built upon shuffling acoustic guitars, minimal beats and sparse keyboard squiggles.

Even though it’s sometimes coated in effects, Lennox’s voice is more front-and-center.

During songs such as “Dolphin,” “Cranked” and “Master,” his lyrics and melodies are just as important as the overall groove. That’s not usually the case with Panda Bear records, but the shake-up works.

BUY IT?: Yes.

The Claypool Lennon Delirium — ‘South of Reality’ THE GOOD: Prog-rock duo the Claypool Lennon Delirium returns with a way-out sophomore set.

THE BAD: Know what you’re getting into. Imagine vintage Emerson, Lake and Palmer or King Crimson but with more sarcastic wit.

“Reality” is NOT for everyone.

THE NITTY GRITTY: The two main players are Les Claypool of Primus and Sean Lennon of about six other on-again/off-again projects (dude gets around). The two originally collaborated on a one-off record after touring together in separate bands. Now, the Delirium is more long-term.

With Claypool playing bass throughout and singing half the songs, it’s sometimes difficult to separate CLD from Primus. However, Lennon makes sure the music goes in more cosmic directions. This is a loose space-rock record where Lennon’s psychedelic tendencies go toe-to-toe with Claypool’s distinct brand of funk and humor. The combination works; it’s an indie rock throwback to the days of “Tarkus” or “2112.” The album is lightly goofy in spots but quite enjoyable if you’re open to its vibes.

BUY IT?: Sure.

Family Animals — ‘The End Is Mere’ THE GOOD: Scranton natives Family Animals enters its second decade together with the super-groovy “The End Is Mere.”

THE BAD: Nah. THE NITTY GRITTTY: Once again, the Viola brothers and their buddy Frank have created something “unclassifiable.” “Mere” straddles many fences, takes more than a few left turns and smashes multiple genres in the process.

“Push Play” kicks off the proceedings with a loopy bit of Ween-esque playfulness. From there, we plow through the Grateful Dead-like jam “Gimmie Jim-Jims,” neo-psychedelic buzz of “Nuclear Confusion,” stoned rocker “The Modern Life,” weird workout “Guitarbot 4000 and the Two Tongue Twins” and the melodic yet foreboding “A Speaker in Your Stereo.” The variety is trippy, the music all-encompassing.

“Mere” is a deep, multi-textured mixed bag — a true headphones album that works best when savored as a whole. Trust me. You won’t be bored.

BUY IT?: Definitely. And go for the CD — NOT the download. The Swims’ Brian Langan did the slick artwork.

Free Will Astrology BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): A mushroom shaped like a horse’s hoof grows on birch trees in parts of Europe and the U.S. If you strip off its outer layer, you get amadou, spongy stuff that’s great for igniting fires. It’s not used much anymore, but it was a crucial resource for some of our ancestors. As for the word “amadou,” it’s derived from an old French term that means “tinder, kindling, spunk.” The same word was formerly used to refer to a person who is quick to light up or to something that stimulates liveliness. In accordance with astrological omens, I’m making “Amadou” your nickname for the next four weeks.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them,” wrote novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez. “Life obliges them over and over to give birth to themselves.” Here’s what I’ll add to that: As you mature, you do your best to give birth to ever-new selves that are in alignment with the idealistic visions you have of the person you want to become. Unfortunately, most of us aren’t skilled at that task in adolescence and early adulthood, and so the selves we create may be inadequate or delusory or distorted. Fortunately, as we learn from our mistakes, we eventually learn to give birth to selves that are strong and righteous. The only problem is that the old false selves we generated along the way may persist as ghostly echoes in our psyche. And we have a sacred duty to banish those ghostly echoes. I tell you this, Taurus, because the coming months will be en excellent time to do that banishing.

Ramp up your efforts NOW!

We are supposed to be objects of desire, not desiring beings.” I’ve quoted her because I suspect it’s crucial for you to not suppress or hide your longings in the coming weeks. That’s triply true if you’re a woman, but also important if you’re a man or some other gender.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): General Motors manufactured a car called the Pontiac Aztek from 2001 to 2005. It wasn’t commercially successful. One critic said it looked like “an angry kitchen appliance,” and many others agreed it was exceptionally unstylish. But later the Aztek had an odd revival because of the popularity of the TV show Breaking Bad. The show’s protagonist, Walter White, owned one, and that motivated some of his fans to emulate his taste in cars. In accordance with astrological omens, Leo, I suspect that something of yours may also enjoy a second life sometime soon. An offering that didn’t get GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “When much appreciation the first time around may spring came, there were no problems except undergo a resurgence.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Sommeliers are people trained to perceive the nuances of wine. By sampling a few sips, the best sommeliers can discern facts about the type of grapes that were used to make the wine and where on earth they were grown. I think that in the coming weeks you Capricorns should launch an effort to reach a comparable level of sensitivity and perceptivity about any subject you care about. It’s a favorable time to become even more masterful about your specialties; to dive deeper into the areas of knowledge that captivate your imagination.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Every language is a work-in-progress. New words constantly insinuate themselves into common usage, while others fade away. If you traveled back in time to 1719 while remaining in your current location, you’d have trouble communicating with people of that era. And today linguistic evolution is even more rapid than in previous ages. The Oxford English Dictionary adds more than a thousand new words annually. In recognition of the extra verbal skill and inventiveness you now posses, Aquarius, I invite you to coin a slew of your own fresh terms. To get you warmed up, try this utterance I coined: vorizzimo! It’s an exclamation that means “thrillingly beautiful and true.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your tribe is symbolized by three animals: the scorpion, the eagle, and the mythological phoenix.

Some astrologers say that the scorpion is the ruling creature of “unevolved” or immature Scorpios, whereas the eagle and phoenix are associated with those of your tribe who express the riper, more enlightened qualities of your sign. But I want to put in a plug for the scorpion as being worthy of all Scorpios. It is a hardy critter that rivals the cockroach in its ability to survive—and even thrive in—less than ideal conPISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): One of hisditions.

Advice Goddess BY AMY ALKON Friends’ comments offend single woman Crone’s disease I’m a straight, single woman nearing 50. My best friends are a lesbian couple. I’m going to get some nonsurgical skin tightening on my face, and they got very judgmental about it: “We think you’re beautiful as you are.” Next, it was “What if it goes wrong?” and “Will you keep getting procedures till you don’t look like you?” I ended up crying and then getting really angry. First of all, it’s my face. Secondly, I don’t think they understand the pressure on straight, single women to look young and beautiful. Thirdly, I think my friends should support me in my decisions even if they don’t agree with them. Am I wrong?

— Upset I’m 55. Eventually, if a man catcalls me, I’ll go over and give him a dollar.

So I do understand the desire for dermatological intervention — in lieu of a little windup thingy behind your neck that you could crank to tighten the face flesh. That said, your friends probably feel they have a right (and maybe even a mandate) to tell you what to do — probably because they’re trying to look out for you. The problem is, criticizing people doesn’t make them want to change; it makes them want to clobber the person doing the criticizing. And this seems to be the case whether that person is giving unsolicited advice to a friend or muttering “Dude ... seriously on the 24-pack of doughnuts?” to that stout stranger in the supermarket.

This happens because our brain’s threat response sys-

tem is a little primitive. A central player in it is the amygdala — a pair of lima bean-shaped neuron clusters — that makes split-second decisions about whether we’re in danger. Unfortunately, to your amygdala, an attack is an attack — which is to say, a verbal attack trigg e r s t h e s a m e b o d i ly responses as a physical attack. Your adrenaline surges, your heart pumps like crazy, and blood gets shunted away from your reasoning center and to your extremities. This gets you into the perfect bodily state to bolt or punch your attacker in the nose — a state that’s not exactly helpful for one’s social survival.

Te l l yo u r bu s y b o dy friends that it means a lot that they care about you, but that their context — as two nesting lesbians — is not your context as a single, straight woman careening toward 50. Set a boundary: Explain that you want their advice on your appearance only if you ask for it. You also could ask them to be supportive of you — even if they aren’t on board with the steps you’re taking — simply on the grounds that you’re trying to improve yourself and go after what you want. It’s nice when your photo on a dating site makes some man reminisce about a classic beauty from his youth — but not when it’s his grandma’s prized Hermes alligator clutch.

Worst-chase scenario I’m a guy, and I’ve noticed that many women (at cafes, etc.) give me flirtatious looks, suggesting they’re interested in me, yet they never approach me. Why don’t they just come over and say hi and

get my number and call me or message me?

— Annoyed It isn’t hard to get a woman to chase you. Just grab her purse and take off down the street.

However, as a dude, if you’re looking for dates or a relationship, you should plan on doing the chasing rather than the waiting.

“Males chase/females choose” evolved to be kind of a thing across species — those in which the females get stuck with the greater share of child production and caretaking (“parental investment,” in anthro terms). As evolutionary scientists Peter K. Jonason and Norman Li explained (in their research on playing hard to get), “the sex that bears the greater obligation to offspring is the more choosy sex (females in most species) and will put the opposite sex (usually males) through ‘tests’ for access.”

Keep in mind that many men will have sex with a woman they aren’t all that interested in simply because she pursues them. In line with this, Jonason and Li’s research found that women benefit from playing hard to get in a way men do not. A woman who refrains from pursuing a man “may increase her perceived value” in his eyes and motivate him to work harder to pursue her.

“In contrast,” they write, “men who limit their availability may pay heavier costs than women will through the loss of potential mating opportunities.” As for what this means for you, waiting for women to ask for your digits and blow up your phone with calls and texts is a fantastic idea — if your mail comes addressed to Chris Hemsworth, 26 Movie Star Ave.
