» Pulse memorial now won’t be built at the former nightclub property

A proposed memorial for the victims of the 2016 Pulse nightclub massacre will not be sited on the grounds of the former club, according to the OnePulse Foundation, which released a statement on the news last week. The foundation confirmed that negotiations had broken down between themselves and the Orange Avenue property owners, Barbara Poma (the founder of OnePulse, who left the group in April), Rosario Poma, and Mike Panaggio. The Foundation had previously planned to build a permanent national memorial at the site to commemorate the 49 lives taken and the survivors, first responders and others impacted by the tragedy. Early reports claimed that the Pomas had floated an asking price of $2.25 million for the property to the foundation, while OnePulse pushed for a donation of the property. However, 48 hours later the narrative changed when Barbara Poma released a statement claiming the Pomas were willing to donate their parcel, but their partner, Panaggio, was not.

Reactions from the community about the latest news were a mix of outrage and hurt. Former State Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith, who’s now running for the state Senate, said on Twitter: “This is totally unacceptable. The site of Pulse nightclub is sacred ground. It serves NO other purpose than for families, survivors, our community, and future generations to find peace and reflection.”

» Public outcry sinks proposed puppy breeding kennel near Orlando

Hell hath no fury like a dog lover scorned. A public upswell defeated a proposed commercial kennel at an Orange County Board of Zoning Adjustment meeting last week. After a week of organizing, more than 100 people arrived at the normally low-key zoning meeting to voice their strong opposition to a suspected puppy mill slated for Orange County, east of Orlando. ICYMI: David Valencia, a dog breeder from Canada, wanted to build a 4,800-square-foot facility for up to 100 dogs. Valencia classified the project as a commercial kennel, saying he would sell dogs, mostly small breeds, from this kennel. But neighbors and the public at large were concerned that the now-infamous Taintsville kennel shared all the hallmarks of a puppy mill. Residents are especially sensitive to the issue because Orange County commissioners voted to ban retail stores that sell pets in 2021. So opponents showed up at county headquarters on Thursday in fighting form to insist the zoning adjustment board stop the project. Valencia defended his proposal, but ultimately, after more than three hours of public testimony, the board unanimously shot it down. Valencia has until May 19 to appeal the decision to the Orange County commissioners, but members there are likely to be even less sympathetic to the proposal.

» Florida’s 2023 legislative session wraps

up Florida’s 60-day legislative session has concluded, and a state budget for the year, including some tax breaks for residents (and corporate interests — typical), has been approved. A wide range of state bills, including what Equality Florida dubbed its “Slate of Hate” targeting LGBTQ+ Floridians, made it through the Legislature: Gender-affirming care is banned for trans youth in Florida, Floridians must use restrooms in public buildings that correspond with their sex assigned at birth (or face a trespass charge), classroom discussion of gender identity and sexual orientation has been restricted up to eighth grade in public schools (an expansion of “Don’t Say Gay”), and drag performances could be restricted under another bill that would ban “adult live performances” where minors under 18 are present. Preemption bills also reigned this session, with legislators passing bills that forbid rent control anywhere in Florida, that wipe out tenant protections on a local level (e.g., Orange County’s tenant bill of rights), and that allow businesses to sue local governments over ordinances they determine to be “arbitrary” or “unreasonable.” Public sector unions (and the over 150,000 workers they represent statewide) will also face challenges under a new anti-union bill passed that is designed to undercut unions, particularly teachers unions (a favorite target for DeSantis). Under a permitless carry bill, Floridians will also be able to carry a concealed gun without a permit or training. A sweeping higher education bill bars public universities from maintaining programs that encourage diversity, equity and inclusion. Some good news: Florida legislators unanimously approved the decriminalization of fentanyl test strips, in an effort to help address the opioid overdose crisis through a harm reduction approach. It’s the bare minimum, but it’s not nothing.

» Disney faces more retaliation from the state

At the behest of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, state legislators have all but guaranteed a legal battle with the Walt Disney Co., in the latest edition of the Reedy Creek/Central Florida Tourism Oversight District saga. State legislators have passed a bill that nullifies a long-term development agreement that Disney signed with the Reedy Creek district board members before DeSantis’ appointees took over. Another bill will impose state oversight of Disney’s privately operated monorail. Essentially, it’ll be subject to state inspections. Surprisingly (or not), competitors like Universal and SeaWorld are not subject to the regulation, which covers “any governmentally or privately owned fixedguideway transportation systems operating in this state which are located within an independent special district created by a local act which have boundaries within two contiguous counties” (which has got to be one of the pettiest laws ever written). So this new regulatory regime is basically another form of retaliation against Disney disguised as corporate accountability.

The ICYMI: The political feud between DeSantis and Disney (which has historically donated a hefty amount of cash to DeSantis’ campaign funds) stemmed from Disney publicly voicing opposition to Florida’s 2022 “Don’t Say Gay” law (aka the Parental Rights in Education bill) that barred classroom discussion of sexual orientation and gender.

» Florida advocacy groups launch campaign to get abortion on the 2024 ballot

Last month, Florida legislators — let’s just say it: the Republican supermajority — passed a bill that would ban abortion in Florida after six weeks of pregnancy (although, at this time, most abortions are still legal up to 15 weeks, due to an ongoing lawsuit). In response, groups like Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union have launched a new group, called Floridians Protecting Freedom, to begin a campaign to pass a constitutional amendment supporting abortion rights. The goal is to get a measure on the 2024 statewide ballot that would allow Florida voters to weigh in on protecting abortion rights up to 24 weeks of pregnancy (i.e. what Florida law allowed prior to last year, when the 15-week abortion ban currently being litigated was passed). The initiative would need 60% of support to pass. In order to get on the ballot, the group would need to submit 891,523 valid signatures by Feb. 1, 2024, and get Florida Supreme Court approval of the proposed ballot wording.

TAKEN FOR A RIDE

Florida Uber and Lyft drivers launch effort to organize for better pay, better app policies

BY MCKENNA SCHUELER

Uber and Lyft drivers rallied outside airports in Orlando, Tampa and Miami on Friday to launch a campaign for fairer pay distribution and the right to negotiate for things such as better app policies and job protections.

Coming on the heels of the killing of an Uber Eats driver in Pasco County, the organizing campaign of the Independent Drivers Guild is months in the making, according to Uber driver Adalberto Perez, an organizer for new Florida chapter of the Guild.

Nearly 100 rideshare drivers, mostly people of color, rallied at Airport Lakes Park as part of a planned work stoppage to formally announce their demands for Uber and Lyft. The two most popular rideshare companies, drivers say, hold onto a bulk of what they charge passengers, forcing drivers to work multiple jobs or to work long hours to make ends meet for themselves and their families.

“We work hard for our money,” said Arifa Tirmizi, an Uber driver of seven years, who first began organizing with the Guild up in New York. “We’re immigrants,” she added, “We’re from the United States — wherever you’re from. But as humans we have rights. We work very hard to support our families, and now we’re here to make our noise.”

The Independent Drivers Guild, formed in 2016, is an affiliate of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union.

It’s not a labor union in the traditional sense, in part because Uber and Lyft classifies its drivers as “independent contractors” and not employees, which affects the rights they’re afforded as workers under federal law.

The Guild, an organization that’s come under scrutiny by some labor organizers, was born out of a partnership between the Machinists and Uber itself. The group describes itself as worker-led, and advocates for and represents more than 250,000 app-based drivers across New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Illinois, New York, and now Florida as well.

According to the organization’s website, the Guild’s primary aim is “to fight for the right to collectively bargain,” in addition to securing a living wage for Uber and Lyft drivers and fighting “unfair” deactivation, in which a driver is barred from picking up new rides on the rideshare app.

Under the companies’ current guidelines, Uber and Lyft drivers can be deactivated for a number of reasons, including allegations of fraud or harassment, discriminating against passengers, or failing a background check.

The problem is, spontaneous deactivation creates a precarious situation for drivers who rely on the income they generate through their rides. In Florida, a rising number of working Floridians are struggling to meet basic needs already.

Drivers are able to request a review or file an appeal if they feel the activation was unwarranted, but some told Orlando Weekly that, in practice, it’s not so simple.

Tirmizi, a mother of seven who drives full-time, said one of the challenges with Uber, for instance, is that labor for the support line is outsourced. You call the number you’re given as a driver, and end up reaching someone in a different country who reads you a generic script, promising that the company will accelerate your case — with no guarantee when or if you’ll soon be able to return to work.

And while it is often described as “gig” work, this isn’t just a “gig” for many drivers these days. Many treat it as a full-time job.

Perez, one of the earliest organizers of the new Florida chapter, told Orlando Weekly he drives for Uber six days a week, often 10 to 12 hours per day.

Back in 2021, he said, money was good. He’s driven full-time for Uber for three years. But in recent years, he’s seen his earnings drop — while Uber is charging passengers more, at they same time they’re squeezing driver pay.

One of the Florida chapter’s demands of Uber and Lyft is for better pay distribution. They want the drivers to earn 70% to 80% of what the apps are charging riders. Then, Uber and Lyft can see the rest.

As it is, “it’s unfair,” said Perez. Not only for the drivers but for riders, who have to deal with the higher fares — especially when prices surge. Plus, riders often don’t understand that drivers aren’t seeing that extra surge fare they’re forking over to make it from point A to point B.

Just a few dozen drivers, clad in red “Independent Driver’s Guild” shirts, rallied on Friday. But Perez said he communicates with a WhatsApp group of over 1,000 Uber and Lyft drivers in the Orlando area alone.

Pulling out his phone, he scrolled through a list of names for Orlando Weekly, his face glowing with pride as he demonstrated just how many drivers they’ve connected with in the Central Florida area alone who are interested in organizing for greater fairness in their work.

“We move the city,” one rideshare driver declared, with a crowd of drivers standing behind him in solidarity. “We move the passengers, and we are spending our money on gas, car, insurance — and we are also getting old,” he said, earning some laughter.

Many of the drivers gave speeches in Spanish, but the cohort was diverse: a group of Brazilian, Colombian, Venezuelan, Chilean, Dominican, Haitian, and U.S.-born drivers, asking to be afforded a living wage for honest work.

Pedro Pradenas, one of the older rideshare drivers at the rally, told Orlando Weekly that although he’s retired, he drives for his son, who’s studying at the University of Central Florida.

Originally from Chile, Pradenas has lived in Florida for 30 years, but beyond the Guild, “There’s no one in Orlando for us,” he said. No labor organization has been able to advocate for them as workers — and the reason why is complicated.

While labor unions in the Orlando area are alive and winning gains for workers, gig companies like Uber and Lyft have long resisted classifying their drivers as employees, pushing to ensure their drivers remain classified as “independent contractors.”

This holds serious weight.

Unlike employees, independent contractors are not legally entitled to things such as hourly minimum wages, workers’ compensation, health insurance benefits or the right to collectively bargain.

The Independent Drivers Guild describes itself as the nation’s largest rideshare driver advocacy group. But some labor activists have another term for it: a “company union.”

As the New York Times has reported, the group was born out of an agreement between Uber and the Machinists union back in 2016, which gave drivers the opportunity to meet with Uber officials to enter into an open dialogue and advocate for improvements in company policies.

“Forming this Guild is crucial for thousands of drivers who

need a stronger voice, and gives organized labor an opportunity to shape the new economy,” IDG founder James Conigliaro, Jr., said in a statement at the time.

But the group has also been scrutinized for receiving an undisclosed sum of money from Uber, in exchange for forfeiting the right to challenge drivers’ status as independent contractors. Federal law prohibits employers from financially contributing to labor organizations that represent their employees, but this doesn’t apply to labor organizations like the Guild that represent independent contractors.

In California, for instance, gig companies like Uber spent more than $200 million pushing for a controversial 2020 ballot initiative known as Proposition 22. It allowed app-based companies like Uber and Lyft to classify their labor as contractors, in order to exempt them from a 2019 California law that set a new standard for determining whether workers there should legally be considered employees.

The National Labor Relations Board and the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, per the Miami New Times, have supported the classification of Uber and Lyft drivers as independent contractors.

Gig companies like Uber have also spent over $1 million lobbying Congress to influence support for the Protect the Right to Organize Act, a sweeping federal labor proposal that would, among other things, enact stricter safeguards against worker misclassification.

“If a significant number of Drivers were to become unionized and collective bargaining agreement terms were to deviate significantly from our business model, our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows could be materially adversely affected,” Uber wrote in a 2021 financial filing in explanation of their position on driver reclassification.

The Independent Drivers Guild, for its part, ostensibly supports the PRO Act, but does not necessarily support the reclassification of drivers as employees. “Every worker deserves protection, regardless of how they’re classified,” IDG organizing director Aziz Bah told Orlando Weekly. Workers who make Uber and Lyft billions, he added, deserve the same protections as employees.

The PRO Act, reintroduced earlier this year, was announced the same day that an anti-union bill in Florida, targeting most public sector unions, was filed by state legislators. That Florida bill just passed last week.

While controversial among some of those who work in the labor movement, the IDG has nonetheless claimed victories for drivers since its formation. The group advocated in favor of a tipping option from Uber and for a higher minimum wage for app-based drivers in New York City. They’ve staged rallies and protests in cities where they have a presence, like Chicago.

It’s also just one of a number of labor organizations that have emerged to advocate for the rights of rideshare drivers, alongside groups like Gig Workers Rising, Los Deliveristos Unidos, Rideshare Drivers United, and the International Alliance of App-Based Transport Workers, a coalition of groups (including the RDU and GWR) that has launched its own international campaign to stop unfair deactivations.

IDG is the only organization Orlando Weekly is aware of that has a direct partnership with Uber. But it’s also the only known labor organization actively organizing Uber and Lyft drivers in Florida.

“If you’re an independent contractor, you’re not alone,” said Tirmizi, who’s been with IDG nearly since she first started driving for Uber in 2016. “We’re making our hard-earned cash — money — and it’s not for somebody just to come and take it away from us. We work very hard and IDG is here to support us.”

Orlando rent is still unaffordable for low-income renters, even with hard-to-obtain housing vouchers

BY MCKENNA SCHUELER

Finding an affordable place to live in the Orlando metro area has become increasingly difficult for the average person, with average rent climbing over 30% in the last two years in what’s become one of the nation’s most in-demand rental markets.

Rental assistance — through the local government or the federal housing choice voucher program — has been made available for some of those in the greatest need, to help prevent families from being displaced or evicted. But new research shows that even if you receive government assistance, it’s still not enough.

Housing choice vouchers, for instance, are a federal rent subsidy intended to expand quality, affordable housing options for low-income renters and their families. But while rents have surged throughout Orlando in recent years, the value of those vouchers — as well as the average person’s income — has failed to keep up.

According to research from Zillow, there are over 12 times as many severely cost-burdened renters in the Orlando metro area (defined as spending at least half of your income on rent) as there are available vouchers through the Housing Choice Voucher program.

More commonly known as Section 8, the HCV program is the nation’s largest federal rental assistance program, which distributes vouchers to low-income renters through local agencies.

First established in the 1970s, its goal is to help lowincome families find housing of their choice in the private market. The program gives recipients a voucher, or subsidy,

that they can use to pay a portion of their rent anywhere in the private market, as long as it’s affordable and meets basic health and safety requirements.

Typically, families with a voucher pay approximately 30% and up to 40% of their monthly income on rent, and then the program will take care of the difference, paying that subsidy directly to the landlord or property manager. It’s reliable payment for landlords, advocates say, and tenants are already pre-screened.

Most of those voucher recipients in Orange County are working families who make at or near Florida’s minimum wage of $11 per hour (which isn’t nearly enough to afford an apartment in Orlando by yourself).

Many recipients are elderly, disabled and/or people of color who help drive Central Florida’s low-wage service and tourism economy.

But the value of a housing choice voucher is limited, based on a formula by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and experts say it’s not enough to help cover Orlando-area rent in today’s market.

“If you look at the pandemic, you know, Florida experienced some of the fastest increases in home values and rents in the country in the last couple of years,” Zillow senior economist Orphe Divounguy told Orlando Weekly. “And of course, that has brought housing affordability front and center for struggling families.”

One of the reasons why there are so many families with vouchers struggling to afford housing in cities like big Miami, Tampa, and Orlando — where rent growth has nota-

bly outpaced voucher value — is not only because rents have increased so much, according to Divounguy.

It’s also because HUD’s formula for coming up with the value for housing vouchers, based on what are known as “fair market rents,” uses county-level estimates for determining how fast rents are increasing.

That’s a problem, because this fails to address the huge disparities in rent growth that can occur within counties, especially those as sprawling as Orange County.

“If you’re determining the value of vouchers based on county level rents, or rents at the county level, you’re missing the fact that many ZIP codes within the counties might see rents grow at a faster pace,” said Divounguy. “And of course, that means that so many families are left behind, and have fewer housing options available to them.”

The median rent in Winter Park, for instance, is different from that in Apopka, or from rent in neighborhoods such as Metro West, Millenia or Pine Hills — a majority-Black neighborhood (infamously disparaged as “Crime Hills,” to the chagrin of residents) that has been plagued by underinvestment.

Even the federal HUD, which comes up with the voucher value formula, has acknowledged this issue, particularly in large metro areas like Orlando and Tampa where rents have soared.

Rent growth has far surpassed income growth of your average worker in recent years, and the elderly who rely on social security income, and those who rely on disability benefits to meet basic needs have been more likely to be priced out.

SEARCHING FOR SOLUTIONS

Within the HCV program, basing vouchers’ value on rent prices on a ZIP-code level, however, rather than by county, could help.

In 2011, for example, HUD switched the county-level fair market rent in Dallas, Texas — another major metro area — to a small area fair market rent formula based on ZIP codes as part of a legal settlement.

Voucher value rose 30% in some areas, according to Divounguy. “And that meant more housing available to lowincome households,” he added.

In 2016, HUD then expanded its use of small area fair market rents to certain metro areas, but the process of expanding that elsewhere is still ongoing.

At the same time, there are other barriers to finding a place to live in Orange County with a voucher, too, beyond cost. “I think the biggest issue is the shortage of units,” Kim Boettner, program development supervisor for Orange County’s Housing Choice Voucher program, told Orlando Weekly earlier this year.

A shortage of affordable housing in the region, driven by an influx of residents during the pandemic and over the last decade, is exacerbated by landlord discrimination against people who use vouchers to help pay for it — a problem rooted in stigma that’s referred to as “source of income discrimination.”

To help address this issue, Orange County leaders earlier this year adopted a “tenant’s bill of rights” ordinance that prohibits landlords from discriminating against renters based on where their rent money comes from, as long as it’s lawfully sourced.

It also prohibits landlords from retaliating against tenants who seek tenant services, and requires that landlords provide tenants with a notice of their rights prior to move-in.

The ordinance doesn’t limit how much a landlord can charge for rent, nor does it require that landlords necessarily lease to tenants with housing vouchers. But it does fill a gap.

Unlike other forms of discrimination, such as racial discrimination, source of income discrimination in housing isn’t

Orlando artist and architect Richard Reep makes treasure from trash in Burglitecture

BY KYLE EAGLE

Hollerbach’s Art Haus in Sanford is currently hosting another intriguing exhibit in Richard Reep’s Burglitecture, which begs the question: What exactly is burglitecture?

Here’s the opening salvo from the artist’s statement: “It is unbuilding, it is thievery of architecture for a subversive purpose: art. It’s a larceny of the landscape, a heinous heist of high design. Burglitecture breaks and enters the sacred temple of Architecture and robs it of dignity and purpose.”

It reads like a manifesto from an architect who’s mad as hell and isn’t going to take it anymore; who’s had it with our mostly crapulous, eyesore-laden environment. And it’s something that tuned-in local art patrons can latch onto as a battle cry.

As for the work itself, Burglitecture pugnaciously straddles Reep’s vocation as an architect and his collection of purloined cast-off objects, gathered while traveling through Florida’s landscapes.

Orlando Weekly asked him about his particular motivations for all this. “I basically steal trash from my projects’ construction dumpsters and from my neighbors’ yards, and then make art out of it,” says Reep. “Going a bit further … I also steal ideas and concepts from my day job as an architect, and put them into art during my night shift.”

If you’ve been following Reep’s art prac-

tice for any length of time, you’ve observed that he’s chronically unable to stop himself from going a bit further out every time: suburban malaise strewn across a theme park-apocalypse contrasts with eye-pleasing splashes of color and rhythm.

been made into a realm of make-believe. Reep picks up some of the ideas and aesthetics expressed from this period of Hockney’s career and charges into the Floridian glare with them, his architect’s eye twisting his art.

RICHARD T. REEP: BURGLITECTURE

Reep’s still unable to stop. He’s worked in a nod to notorious architect-turned-prolific bank robber George Leonidas Leslie in Burglitecture ’s narrative. This aristocrat-architect-antihero hobnobbed amongst the 19th-century robber barons, designing buildings for them, and then using that design knowledge to break into their houses and banks and abscond with their ill-gotten gains. Reep gives a little mischievous wink here, perhaps a sign of our times? Another subtle battle cry?

Hollerbach’s Art Haus 205 E. First St., Sanford hollerbachsarthaus.com on view through June 22 free

There’s an interesting sidenote to make here. A similar look and feel can be seen in the recent work of regional artists Justin Luper and Matt Duke, who both acknowledge a fondness for Hockney. Add Reep into the mix and perhaps we have a mini-school of thought that expands on Hockney’s ideas in an inherently Sunshine State-influenced manner.

Reep’s point of view is not unlike David Hockney’s, with his stark, modernist depictions of Southern California. It is a reference that viewers would do well to take note of. From one Orange County to another, both Hockney and Reep document a land of unique natural beauty where inhabitants are ensconced in an architecture that’s also

Reep hosts a Found Object Workshop at Hollerbach’s Art Haus on June 7 at 5:30 p.m., where he will share some of his unique perspective to artists looking for ways to express their own rebellion against this world via the act of creative recycling.

Until then, if you see Reep on the street staring suspiciously at a building, give him a wink and a nod back. And watch your trash carefully. You may just find some of your cast-offs recycled and refashioned into art.

With the opening of White Elephant Theatre, the Orlando area gets a sorely needed new performance space — but the clock is already ticking on its expiration date

An unprofitable business venture or poorly planned construction project (like Orlando’s infamously incomplete Majesty Building) is sometimes referred to as a “white elephant,” but in Southeast Asian cultures that same pale pachyderm is considered a symbol of beneficence and prosperity, especially when depicted with its proboscis pointed skyward. Robert Crane, the founder and artistic director of White Elephant Theatre (whiteelephanttheatre.com), is taking a “trunks up” attitude to the upcoming opening of his company’s cozy new cabaret space, and after recently getting a tour of Orlando’s newest theatrical venue, I think he may just have something to trumpet about.

A native of Kansas City, Missouri, Crane has been on stage since the age of 10, and came to Central Florida in the mid-aughts as a Disney entertainment cast member. After retiring from the Mouse in 2018, he dove into the local theater community through the annual Orlando Fringe Festival, presenting popular LGBTQ-oriented productions like F*cking Men, The Gay ’90s Musical and Miss Gulch Returns. But Crane didn’t set out to operate his own venue until he unsuccessfully attempted to find an affordable downtown location to stage an event during Come Out With Pride a couple years ago, and made the same sad discovery as other independent artists.

“There was literally nothing available, and what was available was so expensive that as a small, newly established not-for-profit company we couldn’t afford it,” recalls Crane. “So that’s when I began my search, and made the decision to find a location of some kind that could not only be used by us a couple of times a year, but it became obvious that the rest of the arts community needed additional space too.”

After over an 18-month search, Crane stumbled upon a Facebook Marketplace advertisement for a small former church just west of I-4 on Fairbanks Avenue that wasn’t even listed in the MLS real estate database. Although modest on the outside, it’s blessed with a surprisingly spacious A-frame sanctuary that Crane has already converted into a 100-seat cabaret theater, with a piano lounge and bar in the rear, along with full backstage dressing facilities. Even more importantly, the property is blessed with ample free parking, and is conveniently located between Winter Park and College Park in unincorporated Orange County, bypassing the red tape and impact fees that scuttled White Elephant’s initial efforts to establish themselves in the Parramore neighborhood.

White Elephant plans to present its own work at the venue, featuring musical talents Crane has previously collaborated with like Bert Rodriguez and Brett McMahon. But I’m especially excited by their intention to open the doors to other arts groups seeking space.

“Our whole concept was to give as much access to the facility for as many artists as possible, which is why we came up with the cabaret/theater concept, and why we have two different entertainment slots available each evening,” explains Crane. “By offering a cabaret [in the] early evening, we can give our vocalists and pianists and music-makers an opportunity to come in and entertain and make some money, and then switch over and transition into a stage or theater production

later on that evening. So we hope to cover the gamut five days a week.”

Although another venue like White Elephant is sorely needed, Crane’s lease is only for two years, so no matter how well it does the venue has an expiration date. “We would have liked to have had a longer lease, but we needed someplace to get established to prove that this concept will work for the arts community,” says Crane. “Over the next two years, with the blessings of the theater gods, the community will come and use this and make this their home. And then, as we progress after our lease is up here, then we’ll have that history and we can show what we’ve accomplished for the arts communities.”

Crane and company will kick off their new venue with a gala event on June 12. Two nights later White Elephant will host its first play, Bill C. Davis’ Catholic comedy Mass Appeal, produced by and starring Michael Wanzie.

“The sole reason we’re here is to provide this space for underserved and disenfranchised production companies who just don’t have a home,” says Crane, who encourages anyone who wants to perform, donate or join the board of their 501(c)3 organization to contact whiteelephanttheatre@outlook.com.

“We’re not going to place restrictions on anyone. We want this to be an open stage for all theaters, so no matter who they are or what they are, if they want to present their art, they can come in and do it here.”

EYES ON THE PIES

Pizza Bruno owner Bruno Zacchini puts a focus on Jersey-style pizza at his College Park pizzeria

BY FAIYAZ KARA

College Park certainly didn’t need yet another pizzeria, but when that pizzeria is run by the high priest of pizza in this city, Bruno Zacchini, it’s hard to lament its presence on Edgewater Drive. Zacchini’s neo-Neapolitan pie house Pizza Bruno on Curry Ford Road has achieved near-landmark status despite it being just shy of seven years old, but the brand’s expansion efforts, first with a counter service operation inside Orange County Brewers in 2018, then with Slice by Pizza Bruno, a concept that ended before it began, proved confounding.

Yet unlike those abortive forays, Pizza Bruno College Park appears to have staying power. For one, it’s not a facsimile of Pizza Bruno Curry Ford. Its pizzas aren’t wood-fired Neapolitan rounds but, rather, Jersey-style pies. If you’re thinking pizza eaten while wearing a pink Juicy Couture tracksuit or an Ed Hardy shirt buttoned up to the navel, you’d only be partially correct. They’re actually thin-crust pizzas where the tomato sauce is ladled on top of the cheese and toppings before being baked in a deck oven. And that’s reason enough for a visit.

The tomato pie ($18), synonymous with Jersey-style pizza, is a specialty here, comprising a lot of crushed tomato sauce,

tip jar

BY FAIYAZ KARA

OPENINGS and CLOSINGS:

Sicilian Green Gold olive oil, oregano and sea salt. Like the tomato pies in Trenton, it’s round. And like tomato pies in Philly, it has no cheese.

“I spend a lot of time in Cape May County and South Jersey and I wanted to riff on my love for Jersey-style pies,” Zacchini says.

“I wanted to aim for something different, something I like, and making New Jerseystyle pies is my attempt to say this isn’t New York-style or Neapolitan.”

And in the case of the tomato pie, neither Trenton-style nor Philly-style. Either way, it’s a great pizza, just like the cheesy classic ($24) and pepperoni ($26), not that I haven’t experienced issues with consistency at the College Park location. I’ve had 16-inch pies that have been flawlessly crispy and chewy, and I’ve had pies whose undercarriages have been charred black.

Sometimes the cornicione, or pizza’s edge, has been too wide, thereby hogging up valuable real estate for sauce and toppings.

But to Zacchini’s credit, he’s made the necessary adjustments, either through training or personnel changes, and the pies have been a whole lot better as a result. We recently gorged on the Atomic Elbow ($32), a pie hefted with Ezzo cup pepperoni, soppresata and Italian sausage, along with red onions, mushrooms, roasted red peppers,

mozz and tomato sauce. My dining comrade used utensils to eat it, while I went the fold-over route. Our reactions were the same — “mmm.”

During lunch, slices of PB’s “Classic” pies are offered as well as one from their “Specialty” selection. I really enjoyed the slice of the “Wodka Pie” ($4) with meatballs, hot cherry peppers and basil slicked with vodka sauce and topped with a mozz blend. While the pal wasn’t crazy about the flavor combinations, we both lauded the meatballs. The beef-and-veal orbs are served as a starter ($16 for three) too, just as they are on Curry Ford Road. Same for the garlic knots ($12) only here, they’re fried like zeppoli, lending an undeniable crisp to the doughy twists. And while Zacchini was forced to scale back the bread program here — “College Park wasn’t buying our hoagies, so we stopped,” he says — the house-made seeded Italian bread with cacio e pepe butter ($8) made an ideal accompaniment to another College Park-only offering — pasta.

They’re made and extruded in house and they’ve always been perfectly toothy be it cacio e pepe with spaghetti ($19), or malfadine ($18) with bacon, tomato, red onion, chili and pecorino, or orecchiette ($24) with shrimp, asparagus, peas and garlic confit. If the pastas lacked anything, it was that most basic of seasonings, salt.

Saying no to either sugar-dusted zeppoli ($7) or soft serve ($6) would be an impressive exercise in restraint.

Inside, booths of blond wood and bar seating keep the space comfortably piefriendly, while the covered patio out front is a favored spot for the al fresco set to enjoy their carb of choice along with a beer, glass of Italian wine or sangria. Though, really, no matter where you choose to sit, just know that it’s always Jersey weather at Pizza Bruno College Park.

PREMIERES FRIDAY:

City on Fire — A Central Park shooting may hold the key to an apparent arson spree in this series adaptation of the 2015 novel by Garth Risk Hallberg. Whereas the book was set in the early 1970s, this one moves the events forward three decades. Either somebody was worried that the 20th century isn’t relatable anymore, or Apple TV+ just doesn’t provide you with a “mood ring” kind of budget. (Apple TV+)

The Great — In Season 3 of the gleefully anachronistic historical comedy, Catherine has to decide what to do now that her husband has been outed as both the lover and murderer of her mother. (I mean lover and eventual murderer, because not even this show is whacked enough to mess with that order of operations.) (Hulu)

Huesera: The Bone Woman — The winner of the Best New Narrative Director and Nora Ephron awards at last year’s Tribeca Festival, this horror flick follows a pregnant woman who has to turn to witches for protection from an occult curse.

Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me — Can a sensitively compiled documentary get us to stop making a punchline out of a beautiful woman whose low self-esteem convinced her she could only get ahead by commodifying her body and entering into a loveless marriage of convenience with a revolting old fossil? Since it’s Anna Nicole Smith we’re talking about, then sure. But if you mean Melania, then hahahaha no. (Netflix)

A NEW CAREER IN A NEW TOWN

Leatherette and Body Shop say adieu to Orlando

BY MAISIE HANEY

Though our hearts sink to think it could be goodbye, we must bid farewell to two formidable local bands at the same time. Orlando musicians Sam Crow and Kit Dee are soon off to Chicago and they’re taking their projects and music with them. Meaning, Leatherette and Body Shop as we know them now are done.

“We have to harden up for the cold. We got a little too tender, a little too soft in Orlando,” says Crow. “We’ve got to get industrial with ourselves.”

For Leatherette, Crows’s departure thankfully does not mean the end of the longtime friends working together. There’s a lot of history here. Leatherette first started setting local stages afire purveying frenzied garage rock as Spoon Dogs in 2018, and the bandmates collectively mused that with time they’ve forged a stronger bond and more nuanced understanding of each other. “I can’t even say exactly what it is, I just know that we are all more on the same page than we ever have been,” says bassist Sam Leatherwood.

And this new same page demands total attention. The band allowed OW a preview of their newest two singles. Their wild and differing interests have never changed — guitarist Dan Delanois details the original sonic brief of the band back when they started as tweenies.

“It’s funny now, but I was wanting the band to be like authentic ’60s garage,” remembers Delanois. From that

starting point — with Crow adding in more bluesy sensibilities — the Spoon Dogs would become Leatherette, creating music sonically not far off from creeping around rained-slicked, cobblestone streets, trailing a criminal in the shadows. In the ’70s, of course.

Neither is this an ending, but a new beginning for Body Shop. “No matter how Body Shop shape-shifts in the future, I just know that this lineup is an integral part of our identity,” vocalist Kit Dee says of current Shop staff: Ian Sanz (guitar), Cammy Goreczky (bass) and Taylor Yackulics (drums).

Here’s the rundown of what’s next for the two bands.

Leatherette’s drummer Christian Viguie is making playful electronic music as GUI backed by live drums in an intriguing combination. GUI’s newest single, “One Trick Pony,” is out now. Leatherwood and their musician and partner, Jumbo Jade, will be playing in the Velvet Undergroundesque all-star project Tiger Beat. Delanois, meanwhile, is looking forward to some recharging of batteries before taking the leap into new music. Despite all these new projects, keep an eye out for those new Leatherette singles. All were produced by Radio Information Services, the production studio of Mother Juno’s John Rousseau.

When Rousseau’s name comes up, both bands sing unprompted praises. Crow affectionately mimics Rousseau’s Eno-esque studio instructions: “You’re playing it absolutely

right, like your guitar teacher taught you. Now I want you to do the exact opposite.”

On the Body Shop front, bassist Goreczky has previously released electronic music as Sixth Sense, but is now focusing on visual art. Body Shop proper will be releasing three new tracks soon — Dee says it’s not quite an EP, not quite a single. “It is a secret third thing.”

When pressed to talk about endings and beginnings, many of the musicians assembled for this “exit interview” sit in contemplative silence. Dee tries gamely to orchestrate a little: “Sam, you say something nice to Sam, you say something nice to Christian …”

Crow inhales sharply and asks, “Can I go last?”

“I don’t even know what we’re talking about,” mutters Delanois.

Leatherwood notes that Crow and Viguie are some of the hardest-working people he has ever worked with, and Crow follows up with memories.

On the first time Crow met guitarist Dan Delanois: “He gave me a test — I was covering the song ‘Have Love Will Travel,’ and Dan tested me. ‘Are you covering the Sonics or the Black Keys?’ The Spoon Dogs may have never existed, but luckily I said I was covering the Sonics.”

Crow offers self-deprecating praise to Viguie as well: “On the record, I want to thank Chris because he is one of the most technically proficient musicians and he has put up with us slowing him down for six years.”

“Simply put,” follows up Delanois, “I feel really lucky that this was my first band.”

Leatherette and Body Shop alike are excited to see how the Orlando scene will continue to evolve, making room for younger and perhaps hungrier bands to champion an evermutating scene. “The Orlando scene is a spectrum, with 0 Miles Per Hour on one end, and KT Kink on the other,” says Dee. “It’s their world and we’re just living in it.”

Leatherette plays a farewell show at Will’s Pub 8 p.m. Saturday, May 13, with Donzii and Mother Juno. music@orlandoweekly.com

LOCAL RELEASES

Creatively, Orlando’s TzariZM has spent recent years deep in production work for notable acts like Planet Asia, Homeboy Sandman, Wordsworth, Apathy & Celph Titled and Killarmy’s 9th Prince. Now, the hip-hop warhorse is at last returning to his roots as a rapper and getting back on the mic.

More than just another album, the freshly dropped O.T.H.E.R. (an acronym for “Over Time He Earns Respect”) is the first time TzariZM has laid raps to tape in nearly a decade. At a generous 18 tracks, the extensive LP shows that the man has stockpiled a lot to say. Even more remarkably, though, he shows little sign of dust or rust.

There are some notable guests on the mic (Midaz the Beast, Okito, MoZaic, Viz Major, Aahmean, Critical), on the decks (DJ Dolo76) and behind the boards (Nottz, Little Vic and IMakeMadBeats). But the story of this record is all about the resurrection of Tzar in all his varied splendor.

As a reminder of his double-threat talent, the rapper also produced the lion’s share of the album’s tracks himself. The result is an impressively self-contained and powerfully cohesive opus.

Steeped in the tradition of rap’s golden age, O.T.H.E.R. keeps the flame blazing for hip-hop’s true school. Both the on-rails rapping and the assertive back tracks come straight from a time when style was rooted in technique and fundamentals. Between Tzar’s tough, tight flow and the hard-stepping production, O.T.H.E.R. is both a specimen of street finesse and a fresh reaffirmation of TzariZM as a leading man.

Yes, call it a comeback. O.T.H.E.R. now streams everywhere.

TzariZM has spent years deep in production work for notable acts like Homeboy Sandman. But the hiphop warhorse is at last returning to his roots as a rapper and getting back on the mic

Better yet, see it live at the album release party on May 27 at hip-hop haven the Commission Beer Chamber, where TzariZM will perform alongside Midaz the Beast, Abbott & Brown and DJ Dolo76.

CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK

The Lee Boys, Melody Trucks, John Dorney’s the Speed Trap: Presented by roots music institution Southern Fried Sunday, this loaded lineup is a historic consolidation of deep and rich Florida music heritage. A rousing bridge between gospel and funk, Miami family affair the Lee Boys are arguably the most noted Sunshine State flagship band in the proud Sacred Steel music legacy. As the daughter of the Allman Brothers Band’s Butch Trucks, Jacksonville’s Melody Trucks lives up to her own royal bloodline with an expansive and soulful Southern sound. Both are wellknown festival highlights and will be playing this intimate venue for the first time. Local support will be the John Dorney-fronted

indie-folk act the Speed Trap. (8 p.m. Friday, May 12, Will’s Pub, $15-$20)

Future Bartenderz, the Palmettes, Fatties: Brian Costello’s solo recording project has manifested live from time to time as a one-man show. But this momentous event will be the debut of Future Bartenderz as a full band, finally earning that “z.” Celebrating yet another milestone, their next album — a whopping double album whose title, Millswills Willsbillies, is a hyperlocal sendup of the Kinks’ Muswell Hillbillies — will also be released the week of the show. Powered by an all-star roster of accomplished local players, expect the sly, left-field cleverness of Costello’s art-punk to be rendered in more color and vibrance than ever before. Opening will be local underground faves the Palmettes and Fatties.

(8 p.m. Monday, May 15, Will’s Pub, $7)

Nekrogoblikon, Inferi, Aether Realm, Hunt the Dinosaur: I have deep respect for any band with the self-deprecation to take the piss out of their own genre. I mean, as deep as you can get with a band that has a goblin mascot, that is. At any rate, California’s Nekrogoblikon take the inherent camp in extreme heavy metal, remove all pretense of gravitas and just revel in the ridiculousness. When it comes to their music, their name and even their stage show, it’s all about goblins. Yes, stupid and brilliant at the same time. Opening will be the much more self-serious — and perhaps therefore even funnier — likes of North Carolina melodic death-metal group Aether Realm and Dallas deathcore act Hunt the Dinosaur.

(6 p.m. Wednesday, May 17, Conduit, $22)

100 Gecs

Dylan Brady and Laura Les of 100 Gecs deliver a mean meme music machine with their second full-length album, 10,000 gecs. An amalgamation of memes as music, Gecs’ sophomore album humorously opens with the THX sound effect on “Dumbest Girl Alive” and leads Gec-heads haphazardly through moments of progressive rock, nü metal (“Billy Knows Jamie”), ska-punk revival (“I Got My Tooth Removed”), whimsy (“Frog Song”) and Sleng Teng Riddim (“The Most Wanted Person in the United States”). Though the album is ephemeral in length, expect to leave this show with infintite earworms. A patchwork album with flawless seams, 10,000 gecs is lively, clever and full of aural Easter eggs. Opening is Machine Girl, and if you’ve seen any of their past performances in Orlando, you know the drill: Duck and cover. 8 p.m., Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd., hardrock.com/live, $32$42. — Nicolette Shurba

FRIDAY, MAY 12

An Elegy to Rosewood

An art exhibition commemorating the 100-year anniversary of the Rosewood Massacre is opening at the Hannibal Square Heritage Center in Winter Park — and this is a gallery show you don’t want to miss. The traveling exhibition features photographs and heirlooms from the Real Rosewood Foundation founder Lizzie Robinson Jenkins. The show documents the history of the Rosewood Massacre of 1923, in which a white mob descended on the primarily Black town of Rosewood 50 miles from Gainesville, then killed and displaced its Black residents. At a time when learning and understanding the history of white supremacy and civil rights in Florida is more important than ever, this exhibition — also featuring artwork from four female artists based in Miami — offers a valuable opportunity to learn about the Rosewood Massacre through

of the

one family’s story. Curator Amy Galpin will be on hand for a gallery talk Friday night; you may remember her from her tenure at the Rollins Museum of Art (then known as the Cornell). The exhibition runs through Aug. 26. Opening 7 p.m., gallery talk 8 p.m.; Hannibal Square Heritage Center; 642 W. New England Ave., Winter Park; crealde.org; free. — McKenna

Bizarre World

Continuing a proliferation of darker, more fantastical markets that include Prometheus Esoterica and Bazaar Botanica, new entrant to the field Bizarre World comes in big with this event at the Fairgrounds (indoors, though, so you will not melt). Expect vendors — over 100, in point of fact — peddling all manner of unique wares including curiosities, weapon replicas, food and beverages, jewelry and cosplay accessories. Speaking of cosplay, there will also be cosplay contests, cosplay dance-offs and lip sync contests — so come correct. Also on offer are tarot readings, steampunk installations and a battle blaster field. All this and the Satanic Temple of Florida? It’s going to be quite a Saturday. 10 a.m., Central Florida Fairgrounds, 4603 W. Colonial Drive, eventbrite.com, $5.

Bodily Autonomy Benefit Show

When politicians decide to act like the world’s worst performance artists, sometimes the actual performers and artists have to be the ones to put in the work. So Saturday sees a muchneeded Bodily Autonomy Benefit Show with a handful of younger local acts raising money for Planned Parenthood. Performing are organizers Hellcat Tendencies, Her Delirium, Really Fast Horses, Revenge Machine, the Steel Crows, Confession Kids and Ladyboi. While it’s going to be an enjoyable show, it’s also a potent reminder to pay attention to what’s happening in the state capital: In April, the governor signed a

TUESDAY, MAY 16 Korine

We’ll never get tired of seeing Korine perform in the City Beautiful. The Philadelphia-based electro-pop and dreamscape duo of Trey Frye and Morgy Ramone make some of the most heartbreaking and romantic dance music since the Pet Shop Boys blessed us with “Love Comes Quickly.” The twosome captivated at Will’s last spring as well (fittingly, a time of renewal!) with flashing lights, Ramone’s hair-whipping and diva stances, and a treasure trove of synthpop hits. This year, they’ll bring all of that as well as crystalline goodness from newest album Tear. Liberation through dancing, if we may. Opening is CD Ghost and excellent locals Super Passive. 7 p.m., Conduit, 6700 Aloma Ave., Winter Park, conduitfl.com, $15. MM

The 32nd Annual Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival Ribbon Cutting

Kick off this year’s Fringe Festival nice and proper by attending this ribboncutting ceremony doubled up with a veritable pu-pu platter of productions to be showcased this year. Once that ribbon is given a generous snip and all the corks are uncorked, the evening turns to a cadre of national and international artists giving twominute teaser performances of their works, human-trailer-style. Fringe runs through May 29 at multiple venues in Ivanhoe and downtown. 7 p.m., Margeson Theatre, Lowndes Shakespeare Center, 812 E. Rollins St., orlandofringe.org, $15. — MM

LIZZIE JENKINS’ GRANDFATHER (PICTURED RIGHT) AND UNCLE (LEFT). PRIVATE COLLECTION. CHROMOGENIC PRINT. REPRODUCTION.

An Elegy to Rosewood opens Friday at Hannibal Square Heritage Center

TAURUS (April 20–May 20): A famous football coach once said his main method was to manipulate, coax and even bully his players into doing things they didn’t like to do. Why? So they could build their toughness and willpower, making it more likely they would accomplish formidable feats. While this may be an approach that works for some tasks, it’s not right for many others. A further nuance: The grindit-out-doing-unpleasant-things may be apt for certain phases of a journey to success, but not for other phases. Here’s the good news, Taurus — for now, you have mostly completed doing what you don’t love to do. In the coming weeks, your freedom to focus on doing fun things will expand dramatically.

GEMINI (May 21–June 20): Most of us have an area of our lives where futility is a primary emotion. This may be a once-exciting dream that never got much traction. It could be a skill we possess that we’ve never found a satisfying way to express. The epicenter of our futility could be a relationship that has never lived up to its promise or a potential we haven’t been able to ripen. Wherever this sense of fruitlessness resides in your own life, Gemini, I have an interesting prediction: During the next 12 months, you will either finally garner some meaningful fulfillment through it or else find a way to outgrow it.

CANCER (June 21–July 22): Many of us

Cancerians have high levels of perseverance. Our resoluteness and doggedness may be uncanny. But we often practice these subtle superpowers with such sensitive grace that they’re virtually invisible to casual observers. We appear modest and gentle, not fierce and driven. For instance, this is the first time I have bragged about the fact that I have composed over 2,000 consecutive horoscope columns without ever missing a deadline. Anyway, my fellow Crabs, I have a really good feeling about how much grit and determination you will be able to marshal in the coming months. You may break your own personal records for tenacity.

LEO (July 23–Aug. 22): Why do migrating geese fly in a V formation? For one thing, it conserves their energy. Every bird except the leader enjoys a reduction in wind resistance. As the flight progresses, the geese take turns being the guide in front. Soaring along in this shape also seems to aid the birds’ communication and coordination. I suggest you consider making this scenario your inspiration, dear Leo. You are entering a phase when synergetic cooperation with others is even more important than usual. If you feel called to lead, be ready and willing to exert yourself — and be open to letting your associates serve as leaders. For extra credit: Do

a web search for an image of migrating geese and keep it in a prominent place for the next four weeks.

VIRGO (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): I boldly predict that you will soon locate a missing magic key. Hooray! It hasn’t been easy. There has been luck involved, but your Virgo-style diligence and ingenuity has been crucial. I also predict that you will locate the door that the magic key will unlock. Now here’s my challenge: Please fulfill my two predictions no later than the solstice. To aid your search, meditate on this question: “What is the most important breakthrough for me to accomplish in the next six weeks?”

LIBRA (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): Losing something we value may make us sad. It can cause us to doubt ourselves and wonder if we have fallen out of favor with the Fates or are somehow being punished by God. I’ve experienced deflations and demoralizations like that on far more occasions than I want to remember. And yet, I have noticed that when these apparent misfortunes have happened, they have often opened up space for new possibilities that would not otherwise have come my way. They have emptied out a corner of my imagination that becomes receptive to a fresh dispensation. I predict such a development for you, Libra.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): Kissing is always a worthy way to spend your leisure time, but I foresee an even finer opportunity in the coming weeks: magnificent kissing sprees that spur you to explore previously unplumbed depths of wild tenderness. On a related theme, it’s always a wise self-blessing to experiment with rich new shades and tones of intimacy. But you are now eligible for an unusually profound excursion into these mysteries. Are you bold and free enough to glide further into the frontiers of fascinating togetherness?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (1632–1723) worked at a variety of jobs. He sold cloth. He was a land surveyor and bookkeeper. He managed the household affairs of his city’s sheriffs, and he supervised the city’s wine imports and taxation. Oh, by the way, he also had a hobby on the side: lensmaking. This ultimately led to a spectacular outcome. Leeuwenhoek created the world’s first high-powered microscope and was instrumental in transforming microbiology into a scientific discipline. In accordance with astrological omens, I propose we make him your inspirational role model in the coming months, Sagittarius. What hobby or pastime or amusement could you turn into a central passion?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): I wonder if you weren’t listened to attentively when

you were a kid. And is it possible you weren’t hugged enough or consistently treated with the tender kindness you deserved and needed? I’m worried there weren’t enough adults who recognized your potential strengths and helped nurture them. But if you did indeed endure any of this mistreatment, dear Capricorn, I have good news. During the next 12 months, you will have unprecedented opportunities to overcome at least some of the neglect you experienced while young. Here’s the motto you can aspire to: “It’s never too late to have a fruitful childhood and creative adolescence.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20–Feb. 18): As I’ve explored the mysteries of healing my traumas and disturbances over the past 20 years, I’ve concluded that the single most effective healer I can work with is my own body. Expert health practitioners are crucial, too, but their work requires my body’s full, purposeful, collaborative engagement. The soft warm animal home I inhabit has great wisdom about what it needs and how to get what it needs and how to work with the help it receives from other healers. The key is to refine the art of listening to its counsel. It has taken me a while to learn its language, but I’m making good progress. Dear Aquarius, in the coming weeks, you can make great strides in developing such a robust relationship with your body.

PISCES (Feb. 19–March 20): Can we surmise what your life might be like as the expansive planet Jupiter rumbles through your astrological House of Connections and Communications during the coming months? I expect you will be even more articulate and persuasive than usual. Your ability to create new alliances and nurture old ones will be at a peak. By the way, the House of Communications and Connections is also the House of Education and Acumen. So I suspect you will learn a LOT during this time. It’s likely you will be brainier and more perceptive than ever before. Important advice: Call on your waxing intelligence to make you wiser as well as smarter.

ARIES (March 21–April 19): All of us are always telling ourselves stories — in essence, making movies in our minds. We are the producer, the director, the special effects team, the voice-over narrator and all the actors in these inner dramas. Are their themes repetitious and negative or creative and life-affirming? The coming weeks will be a favorable time to work on emphasizing the latter. If the tales unfolding in your imagination are veering off in a direction that provokes anxiety, reassert your directorial authority. Firmly and playfully reroute them so they uplift and enchant you.

Shortly after our wedding my wife informed me that she would be handling our finances and making all financial decisions for us as a couple going forward. Additionally, she had already arranged for my paycheck to be automatically deposited into an account that only she had control over. I would henceforth get a meager weekly allowance for personal expenses. During that same conversation my wife informed me I would get sex only when I had earned it. I love her, and I reluctantly agreed to this. We have been married for 10 years. I do all of the housework, and I rarely get sex. My wife tells me I have no one to blame but myself, since I agreed to all her terms from the beginning, which caused her to lose all respect for me as a man. I did not realize how difficult this would be. Is it normal for a wife in this kind of marriage to enjoy giving her husband pain? She is almost sadistic. She spanks my ass with a spatula and tells me I am a sissy. Is this normal?

Sorry I Somehow Said Yes

Sure, it’s perfectly normal — in the sense that it’s perfectly normal for a certain kind of deeply frustrated kinky straight guy to beat off while writing me a fake letter about the kind of sexual relationship he’s always fantasized about having but has never actually had before tacking on a fake question on at end in the hopes that I’ll respond and then he’ll able beat off to the whole thing all over again.

Zooming out for a second … the fake questions I get aren’t the same as the dozens of fake questions YA writer Bennett Madison managed to get published in Slate’s “Dear Prudence” over the years, and they’re different than the presumedto-be-fake questions to Slate’s “Care and Feeding” that Ben Dreyfuss has so hilariously picked apart on his Substack, “Calm Down With Ben Dreyfuss.” What distinguishes the fake questions I get at “Savage Love” from other fake questions submitted to other advice columns is the obvious fapping that was going when the letter was being drafted.

There’s a lot in SISSY’s letter that screams fake — a normal person would’ve instantly filed for divorce, there’s no way she could’ve “arranged” to have his paycheck automatically deposited into an account she alone controlled unless she somehow managed to bring his employer in on this conspiracy, that the best question he could come up with was the most banal question asked of sex-advice columnists (“Is this normal?”) — but what screams fake the loudest, the absolute deadest giveaway, is that this was sprung on him after his wedding.

Now, female-led relationships (FLR) are

AND FAKER”

definitely a thing, and there are certainly some men out there in female-led relationships, and some FLR have elements of TPE (total power exchange), FD (financial domination), DD (domestic discipline) and mild FF/S (forced feminization/sissification) tossed in. But those men — to a man — had to ask for those things. Most had to beg for it. Because creating a FLR is almost never the wife or the girlfriend’s idea. It’s something a man fantasizes about and sometimes succeeds in talking his wife or girlfriend into experimenting with, but it’s not something anyone’s brand-new wife has ever sprung on him at the reception.

“From my research, and from the emails and DMs I get about how to set up an FLR, the askers are overwhelmingly male,” says Key Barrett, sex researcher and author of Surrender, Submit, Serve Her, a book on FLR. “And I have never heard of an FLR that was started unliterally, or out of trickery, that managed to be successful.”

Like a lot of people with fantasies rooted in power exchange, it’s hotter for SISSY to think about it being imposed on him. Because then he’s the victim, not the pervert, because then his submission is pure and unadulterated. But why send a fake question to a sex-advice column? Because getting his fantasy published makes it feel real. Or feel realer. Or, hell, maybe in some alternate everything/everywhere kind of universe, it actually becomes real.

I’m a gay man in his 40s with a gay man fiancé in his 20s. My fiancé just informed me that he has cheated on me with many others. He didn’t tell me until after we had

announced our engagement, set a date and sent invitations to both our families and friends back home in Chicago, where I grew up and we met while training for a marathon. We now live in Los Angeles, the city where we moved so he could pursue his career as a model. He is young and very beautiful and while I was the aggressor at the start of our relationship, he gradually asserted himself and is now the more controlling person in the relationship. Things have to be his way. He wishes for me to remain faithful to him while he continues to enjoy the sexual attentions of other men. I am a handsome man who is frequently approached by attractive young men, but I have always declined their advances because I am devoted to my gay man fiancé. Cancelling the wedding would be embarrassing, but the thought of marrying him knowing he has so freely given himself to other men and will continue to do so has broken my heart almost in half. My fiancé holds me while I cry myself to sleep at night. The dilemma I face: Do I break off our engagement and leave him and cleave my heart completely in two? Or do I marry him knowing he will never change?

Feeling Insecure And Needing Clarifying Edicts

So, it’s not just deeply frustrated kinky straight men who send me these kinds of fake questions. (“Help! Help! This terrible thing I’ve been furiously beating off about all my life has suddenly happened to me!”) As FIANCE’s letter demonstrates, sometimes it’s a deeply frustrated kinky gay man who’s out there beating off while he writes me a letter. And on rare occasions, I get a

fake question from a woman — and something about this letter (its idealized images of gay men, awkward phrases like “gay man fiancé”) has me thinking it might’ve been written by a woman who has read too much and/or authored too much and/ or illustrated too much shounen-ai manga and/or yaoi manga.

But whoever wrote this obviously fake question, it shares the same fakey-fake-fake DNA with the other fake question in this week’s column: a power-exchange kink like FLR, forced bi, cuckolding, etc., all kinks likelier to be proposed by a submissive (because most people into these kinks fantasize about being in the sub role), was in this case — this very special, very exceptional and very hot (to the letter writer) case — imposed by a cruel wife, girlfriend, fiancé, etc.

I get a lot of letters like these and, in all honesty, I don’t mind reading them; I don’t share them often — I don’t get many columns out of them — but they do provide me with a fascinating glimpse into the sexual inner lives of a very special subset of my readers. But guys … SISSY, FIANCE and all the other guys out there whose fake questions didn’t make it into this week’s column … if you were to put half as much effort into finding partners who want what you want and/or partners who might grow to like what you want as you out into writing and sending me fake questions … you might actually get to live out some of those fantasies of yours.
