Tinfoil hats ‘R’ us Well Steve, ya got me thinking (“George is my copilot: What’s the truth of the Zimmerman SUV story?” Vision Thing, blogs.orlandoweekly.com, July 15). Chas Holman, via orlandoweekly.com Funny how Reuters, independently of [Zimmerman defense attorney Mark] O’Mara, published an article that painted Zimmerman to be very similar to the characterization presented by the defense. You need to pay attention to the facts, not the hysteria and race hustling going on – but you’re probably not going to let a good indignation be influenced by the facts, are you?

You insinuate the death threats aren’t real? Is that why a kid in Chicago was arrested after tweeting that he was going to kill white people if George Zimmarman was acquitted? How about you just do a little thing called “google” and see just how many tweets are out there threatening to kill him. The Weekly is getting as bad as the Sentinel.

It’s funny how progressives paint libertarians as tinfoil-hat conspiracy theorists because we warned of a bloated, aggressive, imperial foreign policy dictated by the military-industrial complex (since then: drone murders, Bahrain, Syria, Iran, Fast & Furious), a state-run panopticon and removal of the Fourth amendment (since then: NSA/ Prism, Snowden, Manning, Hastings), the failures and corruption behind the central bank/fiat currency system (Since 2007: the continued corruption and collusion between banks like Bank of America, HSBC, Goldman Sachs – see their latest aluminum scam), and the seizing of personal income by the government (See: Detroit, could turn out like Cypress). But a media conspiracy orchestrated by a fat, broke, lower-middle class Central Floridian is completely plausible. The overly PC approach to this and the bloodthirsty race baiting is in itself racist and the reason this idiot got off scot-free. Go back to focusing on gay marriages so nobody gets hurt.

180,000

NUMBER OF NAMES ORIGINALLY TARGETED BY GOV. RICK SCOTT IN THE 2012 VOTER PURGE; AFTER PUBLIC AND FEDERAL SCRUTINY, THAT NUMBER WAS REDUCED TO 198

61 PERCENT PORTION OF THAT ORIGINAL LIST WITH HISPANIC SURNAMES, DESPITE THE FACT THAT JUST 14 PERCENT OF REGISTERED FLORIDIAN VOTERS ARE HISPANIC

201,000

ESTIMATED NUMBER OF POTENTIAL FLORIDIAN VOTERS DISCOURAGED FROM VOTING IN NOVEMBER 2012 BY LONG LINES THAT REPORTEDLY AFFECTED BLACK AND LATINO VOTERS TWICE AS MUCH AS WHITE VOTERS

“YOU CAN BELIEVE THAT FLORIDA’S LEGISLATURE IS CHOMPING AT THE BIT FOR THE NEXT LEGISLATIVE SESSION TO SEE WHAT OTHER VOTER SUPPRESSION TACTICS THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH NOW THAT THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT NO LONGER KEEPS OUR LEGISLATURE IN CHECK.” – AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION OF FLORIDA DIRECTOR HOWARD SIMON IN A JULY 24 PRESS RELEASE SOURCES: THINK PROGRESS, ACLU

PURGE SCOURGE: PART TWO In a week that finds this particular

publication resplendent in the jewels of dressed-up democracy via our Best of Orlando poll, it’s interesting to note that real democracy – the kind that requires voter registration and participation in person – is currently under fire in a very big way in the state of Florida. Of course, the fact that Gov. Rick Scott and the Republican Legislature have been averse to an inclusive and fair election process isn’t exactly news. It’s just that now their cruel intentions have been vindicated by the U.S. Supreme Court, and, consequentially, by federal courts in Florida. Do you feel that? It’s the urge to purge again, princess. Two years ago, citing nascent “voter fraud” that some Republicans have since admitted is code for “racism,” the Legislature was totally cool with shortening early voting hours and punishing voter-registration groups. (This year, some of that was undone – but not all of it – following November’s long-lined election-day clusterfuck.) Then last year, Gov. Scott and Secretary of State Ken Detzner pulled a list of 180,000 foreign-sounding names out of the air and attempted to purge them from the state’s voter rolls, prompting the U.S. Department of Justice to shut them down (even as local election officials rightfully scoffed at the voter-roll scrubbing). If you’re not white and rich and conservative with a simple last name in Florida, your state government doesn’t much care for your right to vote. Things got worse on July 24, when the conservative U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit dismissed a year-old challenge to the purge filed in part by the American Civil Liberties Union that called into question the state’s methods in choosing the people it would force to suffer for their suffrage. The move was in the pipeline ever since the U.S. Supreme Court kicked the preclearance portions out of the Voting Rights Act last month, claiming that the anti-racism methods were no longer required in this post-racial society. Hell, we have a black president, right? And even though Congress – under an allowance from the high court’s ruling in Shelby County v. Holder – is hard at work

conference earlier this month. “But what about states’ rights?” you will likely hear your redneck brother screaming over the phone in the coming months. Well, there aren’t any when the state is wrong.

crafting a new algorithm to more accurately represent the bigotry of the modern age, jerk-states like Texas, North Carolina and (reportedly) Florida are rushing to take advantage of the present ambiguity and wipe out minority voters while the getting’s good. On July 24, the ACLU raised its hackles in response to the lower court’s dismissal of its case, reminding the media and whoever else would listen that it was only last June when the U.S. Department of Justice came down hard on Florida for its purge tactics, pointing to its “critical imperfections” that led to “unlawful conduct” by the state. “We are in an age when voter suppression is becoming more sophisticated and more widespread, and until Congress reenacts the formula that triggers the Voting Rights Act’s preclearance requirement, we will need to use other weapons to protect that right to vote in Florida,” ACLU Florida director Howard Simon said in a statement. On July 25, U.S. reps. Alcee Hastings, D-Miramar, and Ted Deutch, D-Boca Raton, released a joint statement (in the form of a letter to Gov. Scott) urging the governor to halt the inevitable return to the flawed original list of 180,000 by Detzner. “We request that you immediately inform the public as to whether your administration is again operating off that error-ridden list and what measures are being taken to ensure that no legitimate Florida voter is included on it,” they wrote. Thankfully, it appears that the DOJ is already on this. According to the Washington Post, Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. “is expected to announce that the Justice Department is using other sections of the Voting Rights Act to bring lawsuits or take other legal action to prevent states from implementing certain laws, including requirements to present certain kinds of identification in order to vote.” In fact, it’s already happening. The DOJ is putting its muscle behind a challenge to some unseemly redistricting in Texas, and will likely do the same when a challenge to that state’s voter ID law arises, according to the Post. Holder hinted that he was going to subvert congressional foot-dragging on the Voting Rights Act when he spoke in Orlando at the NAACP orlandoweekly.com

PLEASE STAPP While most of the national hive-

mind buzzed around the sweet, sweet honey of George Zimmerman’s rehabilitation from “accidental” killer to SUV superhero of Sanford last week – seriously, did that even happen, and where’s our tinfoil hat? – everyone’s least favorite gravel-grunt of self-importance, Creed lead singer Scott Stapp, emerged from his own irrelevance on July 20 to tweet his creed on some TrayvonObamacareSnowdenGate conspiracy mess. Turns out the sometimes drunk, suicidal, wifebeating Jesus freak has scratched together an opinion on world matters, and took to the expanded “twitlonger” (ha!) format to expand upon them. “It seems very convenient for President Obama to help perpetuate this ‘national distraction,’” Stapp sacrificed. “Yes the civil rights of ALL Americans is [sic] vital to our democracy, but not even an issue in the Trayvon Martin case.” Right. So, grumpy white guy pulls racebaiting card on the president; news at 11. But things get a little worm-holier as Stapp rambles on. To wit: The IRS is targeting people; Obama cheated to win the election; Edward Snowden is awesome; “smoke screens” are not. Stapp, who never met a crucifix he didn’t want to hang from, is on to all of this mess, and he seems to be charting it – a bit like Creed used to chart when the country was clearly in a bad spot. Welcome to the countdown! “Americans need to remember not to get distracted from what the most relevant priorities are right now in our country,” he goes on and on. “Yes, civil rights for all is in the top 10, don’t get me wrong, but it should not distract us from socialism and governmental abuse of power, which is the reality of the Obama administration and D.C. today.” Yep. He’s created his own prism. Move along. happytown@orlandoweekly.com ●

INTRODUCTION

t’s that time of year again, when we break out the tiaras and the sashes and the spray-tanner and get ready to crown our beautiful winners in the pageant that is Best of Orlando. Our contenders have spent the past five weeks flashing their best toothy grins – and lobbying hard – to earn your vote in the Best of Orlando readers poll, and now it’s time for us to tell you who’s the fairest of them all. Thousands of you – 10,602, to be exact – filled out our carefully crafted survey and voted for the best of everything that makes our city beautiful (occasional streaky mascara and limp hair extensions aside). In the following pages, we’ve tallied your votes for the best bagels, pizza, thriftstore shopping, fine dining, cheap eats, expensive thrills and so much more that

we swoon a little when we think about it. We’ve also compiled our own writers’ picks that highlight some other dazzling contestants who deserve a mention in this competition. The result is this extravagant variety show you see before you – a compendium of superlatives soundtracked by the rolling timpani of anticipation and the squealing of excitable winners. Enjoy it while it lasts, ladies. You’re the best. Best of Orlando 2013 was compiled and written by Ashley Belanger, Jeffrey Billman, Kelly Chambers, Faiyaz Kara, Lauren Killer, Seth Kubersky, Bao LeHuu, Billy Manes, Dave Plotkin, Richard Reep, Erin Sullivan, Aimee Vitek and Jessica Bryce Young. It was copy edited by Katie Westfall.

Our cover models are: Miss Winter Park 2013 Victoria Williams (left), Miss Orlando 2013 Chloe Lupo (center), and Miss Florida 2011 Kristina Janolo (right). Hair was did by Chris Martin of Copperhead Salon, and our beauty queens were made up by Adrienna Hsia, also of Copperhead. Photos were taken by Rob Bartlett, and cover design and issue layout provided by the lovely and talented Adam McCabe.

Girls on film When we first conjured the notion of theming this year’s Best of Orlando issue with all the blown-out drama of a melodramatic beauty pageant, we didn’t expect to have access to actual beauty queens with actual blowouts. With a little help from pageant hairstylist (and owner of Copperhead Salon) Chris Martin, however – and makeup artist Adrienna Hsia, who summoned the mascara tears – three bona fide crown-holders were at our office within a week, draped in full-gown regalia, hair teased to the sky with tiaras on top. Miss Orlando 2013 Chloe Lupo, Miss Winter Park 2013 Victoria Williams, and Miss Florida 2011 Kristina Janolo were unexpectedly eager to entertain our fantasies of hair-pulling rivalry in pancaked schlock, even though two of them were gearing up to compete in the actual Miss Florida Scholarship Pageant the week of July 10. What if we ruined them? We didn’t. In fact, both Lupo and Williams placed in the top 10, with Lupo named third runner-up and Williams totally winning swimsuit in the first night of preliminaries. Everybody wins! Before they could actually receive their honors, though, we put them through the paces: forced chicken feeding, shopping fights, general mayhem – all the contortions required to make our categorical points. Creative director Adam McCabe says that although his initial idea was to “derail them” (cough) with surprise discomforts, the ladies were too down-to-earth to be fooled. When they gave him Hannah Montana for the Music & Nightlife session, McCabe demanded “rage face!” and got, well, death metal in high heels. (If Williams’ résumé is to be believed, she’s currently finishing her second album, Lipstick and Nicotine, so there’s that.) A special thanks to the ladies for having four hours of hot-lamped ridiculous fun with us, and for being generous enough to make fun of their own beauty. You’re all queens to us.

Erica Lee, WLOQ 102.5 FM

1025wloq.com

You never truly get a sense of somebody until you’ve seen them at their worst. Not only does Luke McHenry, owner of downtown rickshaw roadsters Rydes Pedicab Co., see some of the best late-night pedestrian horrors – girl-drink drunks stumbling through alleyways with smears of tears and regret; juiced-up jocks punching mounted horses in the face – but he also likes to chronicle it on social media. The Rydes Facebook page is less embarrassing slambook than whimsical observation, but even the wry humorist takes on minor homeless brawls or panties left in the street can’t help but remind us why we don’t so much enjoy carting ourselves downtown on weekends anymore. We do, however, like to see the pictures later.

There’s only minor irony in the fact that one of Orlando’s harshest broadcast cackles would require the mannered Al Jarreau-isms of smooth jazz to bring her back to morning drive-time prominence. Erica Lee, who spent 19 years as the funnier half of Mix 105’s “Scott and Erica Show,” was unceremoniously given the boot in early 2010, allegedly for not reading an endorsement for Bright House (she loves Bright House now, she says, but at the time they were making her miss some of her beloved sports programming). Since early June, Lee has been creeping her way back into public consciousness on WLOQ 102.5 FM, filtering some of her signature girl-next-door bombast through old broadcast friends and guest hosts on “Wake Up With Erica.” Hilarity sometimes ensues when the smooth jazz passes.

Best Girl Talk Orange County Commissioner Jennifer Thompson and the glory of textgate Not that any of us were under the illusion that Orange County government wasn’t a well-lit one-stop shop for development, lobbyist and big business concerns – “sprawl” is practically our middle name – but few could have expected the brazen cluelessness with which the county’s elected representatives handled their iPads and iPhones at the beginning of the seemingly never-ending sicktime saga. On Sept. 11, 2012, during a six-hour public hearing on a local sick-time ordinance, commissioners gleefully ran afoul of Florida’s sunshine laws by privately discussing strategies on their devices with lobbyists while the public was talking. That blatant disregard for process was only heightened by the excuses Mayor Teresa Jacobs and her board used when records of their text messages were summoned, first directly, then through litigation. Our favorite came from ever-defiant Commissioner Jennifer Thompson, who insisted that her conversation with a Disney lobbyist was just “girl talk.” Hmm, well the “girl talk” that other commissioners and the mayor were having eventually led to the passage of pre-emptive legislation in Tallahassee that rendered the entire citizen-led sick-time initiative moot. Who knew girl talk could be so powerful?

Best Urban Planning Fail Drinking hours With all due hilarity, the Orlando city government sneakily resurrected its decade-old plan to expand downtown drinking hours to 3 a.m. earlier this year, something it swore it was doing with both transparency and economic development in mind. Except much of what the city was attempting to do – via private meetings among the muckety-mucks of the Downtown Development Board, initially – amounted to making things more costly for bars to operate downtown. Bars would be required to obtain permits for every concert, hire off-duty police officers for security and purchase expensive ID scanners in exchange for the glory of an extra hour of serving booze, all with the added cost of losing the 18-21 crowd downtown. The controversy spread wider than the Orange Avenue corridor, though, because many neighborhood bars resented the fact that there would be separate rules for bars operating within the same city’s limits, added regulations or not. In the end, the plan was effectively silenced, at least until it can sneak its way back up the secret gutter again.

Best Weed Vendor John Morgan unitedforcare.org

If you’ve ever come across John Morgan (or videos of John Morgan) reveling in nightlife abandon, then it may not surprise you that the man who is “for the people” on your television screens all day is also for himself when he gets a spare minute. Still, Morgan’s surprise announcement earlier this year that he would become the new face of legalizing medical marijuana in the state of Florida shocked most, especially considering the power attorney’s strong Democratic political ties (he saved Charlie Crist by making him a Democrat … and a staffer!) and statutory day job. His aim, though, is true. Morgan’s father suffered from esophageal cancer and used marijuana to help get through the pain a decade ago. The United for Care petition movement is a tribute to him, and the most plausible means for the measure to even survive giggle-fits in Florida’s conservative governance. Morgan’s got money, see? orlandoweekly.com

David Siegel emails threat to staff We really didn’t need many more reasons to doubt the worth in human weight of Westgate billionaire noisemaker David Siegel – he has, after all, been courting scandal forever, and was made to look a total fool in that Queen of Versailles docu-takedown – but when he, like other simpering rich people, decided to threaten his employees if they happened to vote Democrat in the 2012 elections, he crept just a notch further up our “hate you” list. Add to that the fact that Siegel, who bragged of his profits despite Obamanization, couldn’t even be bothered to craft his own letter to his staffers, but rather plagiarized one from online rumor debunker snopes.com (“My motivation to work and to provide jobs will be destroyed, and with it, so will your opportunities. If that happens, you can find me in the Caribbean sitting on the beach, under a palm tree, retired, and with no employees to worry about,” the letter read), and now we can’t help but laugh at him. Well done, Siegel. You just keep getting worse.

Best Headline That Tells You Everything You Need to Know “Rubio currently opposes own immigration bill” If he weren’t such an obnoxious cipher, you’d almost feel bad for Marco Rubio. Trapped between the need for “outreach” to Hispanics and his party’s own nativist base, Rubio took part in the bipartisan Gang of Eight that drafted the immigration bill, then caught shit for it on AM radio, then backpedaled, leading to this Washington Post headline on June 5. Rubio eventually came around after Democrats agreed to spend billions to militarize the border, and voted for the compromise that passed the Senate in late June. Then he promptly pivoted to attacking abortion rights, because hey, why not?

Best Endangered Dining Free-range food trucks and hot dog carts Remember how excited everyone was when the food truck trend finally hit Orlando? It was fun – we could pick up gourmet meals on the fly, get empanadas outside our favorite bars, stumble across new culinary delights around practically every corner. Naturally, though, the city just had to do something about all of that good feeling and entrepreneurial spirit. So in May, the City Council passed a “temporary use permit” pilot program for the trucks, which didn’t just require new permitting for anyone who wants to sell food as a mobile vendor in the city – it also restricted the trucks from doing business in certain areas of town altogether, made it so that they can’t do business on city streets or sidewalks unless they’re in concession with the city, required them to have notarized letters from private property owners expressly stating that they have permission to do business in private parking lots and, in general, made it a whole lot harder to make a living by selling food from a truck. Way to support small business, Orlando.

Best Local Time Traveler Old Florida on Facebook facebook.com/oldflorida1

Perhaps the best reason to stay on Facebook lately is the sun-soaked nostalgia presented by communities like Old Florida. We love their galleries full of black-and-white vintage photography, interspersed with colorful postcards and other Florida ghosts we don’t mind haunting us on social media. For longtime residents, it’s a trip down memory lane, but for out-of-state lurkers who love to snicker about Florida culture, it’s a reminder that some things that happen “only in Florida” are true cultural treasures.

Best Twitter Meme Florida Man Florida, as we all know, is a hot, humid petri dish of weird and dumb and terrible stuff, and it’s high time someone decided to catalog our parade of awful. And so we give you Florida Man, the “world’s worst superhero,” a Twitter handle (@_FloridaMan) chronicling headlines that begin with the words “Florida Man.” For instance: “Florida Man Arrested for DUI on Lawnmower on Fourth of July”; “Florida Man Tries to Kill Cousin for Not Inviting Him to 2-Year-Old’s Birthday Party”; “Florida Man Caught Picking Hallucinogenic Mushrooms With Alligator in Backpack.” Florida Man’s Twitter feed is as existentially Floridian as a Carl Hiaasen novel. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll start looking for jobs somewhere far away – Alaska seems nice, right?

ILLUSTRATION BY JACOB MCALISTER

The daggers and sneers of the pearl-clutching chattering class surrounding Buddy Dyer’s performing arts center dream have been hilariously evident to those in the know since the project’s inception. But back in December, one of DPAC’s largest wounds was paraded in front of a broader audience, leaving the center’s brass in a defensive publicity corner. For the past few years, nobody really knew exactly how DPAC would actually book its shows – much less how they’d operate at all – so when the leadership announced that it would be self-presenting, thereby cutting ties with local arts hero Ron Legler and his Florida Theatrical Association, hair went flying. Threats of dropped pledges and even strong words from the mayor followed, forcing DPAC to reconsider and negotiate with FTA through clenched teeth. The show will go on; trust us.

... hey girl.

Best Buddy Dyer Pickup Line Propositioning the Attorney General to undress for the Undie Run In a typical public relations junket that summoned the hollow echoes of City Hall’s gaping rotunda, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi – otherwise known as Legally Blonde, because she squeaks self-righteously and on cue – floated into town to talk about all the hard work she was doing to make sure that poor foreclosed Floridians were getting their portion of a national settlement against the big banks. Sure, fine, that never panned out really, did it? Afterward, Mayor Buddy Dyer and his sweet felicitations approached us to rub handsies with Bondi, effectively putting us in the very awkward position of flirting with her for him. He wanted us to ask her to join in the philanthropic – yet nearly nude – Undie Run that happened back in February. So, basically, we had to ask the attorney general to get naked (she didn’t exactly refuse; nor did she exactly get it). That Dyer is a charmer. orlandoweekly.com

Best Cute Animals in Real Life Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Facebook page facebook.com/MyFWC

From pictures of baby sea turtles (awwww) to tales of lobster poachers (boooo) to explanations of ant lions (yuck?), the Florida Wildlife Commission’s Facebook page offers a controlled dose of wildness to consume with your morning coffee every day. MyFWC, the department’s official Facebook page, streams an engaging mix of stories that, taken together, function like our very own Discovery Channel. Pics of baby animals (panther kittens, black bear cubs, tiny tree frogs) engage the I Can Has Cheezburger? crowd, while the Law Enforcement Case of the Week adds Cops-style drama with accounts of overthe-limit outdoorsmen (both hunting bag limit and blood alcohol limit) – in our opinion, a totally worthwhile use of state funds.

Best Blood Equality Banned4Life banned4life.org

Seminole State College student Blake Lynch was denied the ability to donate blood earlier this year to help his friend Emmy, who suffers from sickle cell anemia and requires transfusions frequently. The reason Lynch was denied is because he is gay, and since 1983, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has refused the blood of gay men on dubious terms involving discrimination, HIV and AIDS. Lynch launched Banned4Life.org and, over the past few months, has received substantial national and local media attention for the cause – there is a day of action planned on Oct. 19, at which straight allies are encouraged to give blood in the place of their gay friends. It appears that Lynch’s campaign may be working: In June, the American Medical Association rebuked the FDA ban, saying, “The ban on blood donation for men who have sex with men is discriminatory and not based on sound science.” Now it’s time for the feds to catch up.

Best Unintentionally Hilarious Job Posting SeaWorld is hiring a sushi cook On June 12, we tweeted a job posting for partner site OrlandoJobs.com. It read: “Orlando SeaWorld is hiring a sushi cook. Apply now!” Our Twitter followers, always on the ball, were quick to respond: “Look at that beautiful creature! I bet it’s delicious,” replied @XFadedGloryX. “Um, you don’t cook sushi,” @SimonTravels pointed out. “I LOL’d,” @keiteay told us. Hilarious as it seemed when we sent out that tweet, the kicker is: The job is, apparently, for real.

We’ve been looking forward to Audubon Park’s “neighborhood market and cultural food hub” since it was announced in early 2012, and anxiously eyeballing construction progress on every trip down Corrine since. Developer John Rife (of Winter Park Harvest Festival renown) and organizers from the Audubon Park Community Market are building the dream: a 14,000-square-foot facility enclosing veggie and bakery stalls selling locally grown and produced food, a restaurant, a demonstration kitchen, party space for rent and more. As of press time, they’re promising a lateSeptember opening, so keep the faith, locavores.

klassykidz.com

Unlike other resale shops, where you can’t find anything good because the stuff is all piled up (and often all raggedout and nasty), at Klassy Kidz you can actually see the merchandise. The shop has recently been redone; it’s welllit and offers a good shopping experience. In addition to (oftentimes brand-name) children’s clothing, you’ll find kiddie DVDs, furniture and toys, all gently used – and if you don’t mess it up too badly, you can bring stuff back and consign it again once your own kiddies outgrow it.

GOODS & SERVICES Best Downtown Sanford Poor Sanford’s reputation has taken a beating over the last year and a half, and the merchants of the city’s super-cute historic downtown are the ones who’ve felt the brunt of it. We’ve heard from several that business was depressed as the city tried to get out from behind the shadow of the Zimmerman trial. But here’s the thing: Sanford has a really cool, vibrant downtown. It has eclectic bars (hey there, Little Fish Huge Pond) and restaurants, some of which are run by Orlando businesspeople who saw the potential in the city’s main street (we’re looking at you, Imperial Wine Bar & Beer Garden) and opened northern outposts there. It has a monthly Alive After Five street party and frequent pub crawls. It has an awesome book and record store (Maya Books and Music) and folk art gallery (Jeanine Taylor Folk Art). Add to that a handful of antiques shops, the Wayne Densch Performing Arts Center, a kickass authentic German beer hall (Hollerbach’s Willow Tree Café) and a coffee/dessert shop (Taste of Thyme Café), all in one compact downtown area. And did we mention that it’s located along the shores of beautiful Lake Monroe? Yeah, that, too. It’s by far the best downtown experience to be had in these parts.

Not only does this shop have an ever-changing inventory – BCBG sandals, Prada handbags, Lilly Pulitzer dresses, among other trendy women’s fashions – but if you follow them on Facebook, every day you’ll get a preview of the newest items because they post snapshots of the clothing, shoes and jewelry about every hour or so. If you happen to fall in love with a specific item (or several), just remember to book it to the store on Corrine Drive that same day because, girls, we can tell you from experience that those coveted finds go fast.

Chris Martin, Copperhead Salon 1235 N. Orange Ave., #201

407-898-6636 copperheadsalon.com

Copperhead owner Chris Martin is not only responsible for nearly all of the flying hair you see in this dolled-out issue, he also – full disclosure – rats and chops and bleaches the heads of Orlando Weekly news hounds Erin Sullivan and Billy Manes with all due frequency. Iconic! Martin opened Copperhead nearly eight years ago, after working at the Wave on Washington Avenue for the preceding nine years. It was back at the Wave that he made his first foray into the pageant circuit, sponsoring a local pageant and throwing some hair that would eventually go on to produce Miss Florida 2003 and subsequently Miss America 2004 Ericka Dunlap. That victory – among three Martin-styled Miss Florida victories – earned Martin the gig as official stylist for the Florida hopefuls in the Miss America pageant. If there have been real catfights or tragedies, Martin’s not revealing them (everyone is “nice” and “bright,” apparently); it’s merely his job to make pageant girls – like all clients – “the best version of themselves: healthy, shiny, pretty. To make them pop.” Also, not everyone is a beauty queen, and that’s just fine by Martin. “I never get bored doing hair,” he says. “Especially the hair of my challenged clients, like Billy Manes.” There she is.

GOODS & SERVICES Best Liquid Road Trip Miller’s Hardware Store 143 W. Fairbanks Ave., Winter Park

407-647-3316 millers.doitbest.com

There are many reasons to sing the praises of Miller’s Hardware Store – the deep inventory, the fact that it’s locally owned and has served the area for more than 65 years, the fact that it was once known as “The Woman’s Hardware Store” – but here we’re confining ourselves to just one segment of the store: that amazing soda selection near the front door. A long stretch of shelving is packed (oh-so-neatly) with obscure regional pops from around the country. Bubble Up and Green River (a couple of Midwestern 7-Up forerunners) sit cheek-by-jowl with the beloved Southern Cheerwine, Chef Bruce’s gourmet ginger ales, and various jokey fizzes like Ale81 (“a late one!”) and Flying Cauldron Butterscotch Beer (non-alcoholic, alas). Even if we’ve no need of a hose clamp or a socket wrench, we’ll still drop by Miller’s for some banter with the awesome clerks and a dose of carbonated nostalgia.

Best Local Jewelry Impacting the Fashion World Sea of Bees seaofbeesjewelry.com

Sea of Bees may be local, but the fantasy warrior motifs the jewelry calls upon seem to be making big splashes elsewhere, too. Sea of Bees has recently made appearances in fashion catalogs like Anthropologie’s winter gift guide and adorable blogs like the Dainty Squid. Lucky for us, we can find artist Stephanie Marie Smith’s often-replicated but never duplicated handiwork just by stopping by Mother Falcon. And though her woodland creature rings have been spotted on the fingers of Feist, her recent line of necklaces channel instead the hardened beauty of someone like Neko Case: timeless, fierce, bold and stunning.

It was briefly animated by the Death by Pop-Up Shop, but for years now it’s felt like a missing tooth in a bright grin. The rustled feathers and well-I-never mutterings provoked by several “Starbucks Coming Soon” posters a prankster slapped up on the space were the perfect slyly humorous entree for Ace Metric – we couldn’t have blue-skied a better new addition.

Best Locally Made Bag to Hold Your iPad Farm satchel from Makr Carry Goods makr.com

Yay, you got an iPad! Now if only you had something decent to carry it around in – your purse is too small, your laptop bag is too big, everything you see in the mall is the opposite of attractive. We are about to let you in on a little secret – the bag you want (need?) is made right here in the Orlando area, though you won’t find it in any local retail stores. Head to the website for Winter Park-based Makr and look up the farm satchel. It’s a simple cotton duck bag with leather accents, a canvas strap and three pockets – the center one is the perfect place to stash your iPad, and the other two are big enough to hold a charger, wallet, iPhone and one or two other miscellaneous items that always find their way into your bag by the end of the day. Stop looking for other bags. This one is perfect.

If you’re the type who likes to look before buying, check out the shop’s website or Facebook page for daily and weekly “shop shots.” But for us, half the fun is meandering around, digging our way around the place and searching for that one must-have item. It’s like finding hidden treasures in your grandma’s attic.

Don’t get us wrong, Sassafras isn’t just a nostalgia trip. No matter your age – 6 years old or 60 years old – Sassafras will have your favorite childhood candy. Those of mature years will get a rush from the shelves stuffed with Abba-Zaba, Charleston Chew, Turkish Taffy and GooGoo Clusters. Gen X’ers can drop bucks on Pop Rocks and Ring Pops. Sophisticates can choose from silver-wrapped Italian Baci bonbons, marzipan fruits or tiny tins of blood-orange Ginger Zingers. Snarky sorts will enjoy Honey Badger Mints, bacon gumballs or sour cream-and-onion flavored dried crickets (really). The tiny sugar shack is an inviting hangout, decorated with old-fashioned apothecary touches and red-and-white striped everything; it’s hard to believe so much sweetness can be packed into such a small space.

Best Summer Hang Banana Hammock Republic hammocks bananahammockrepublic.net or etsy.com/shop/chairsareforchumps

Artist Brendan O’Connor has a dream: No one should ever go without a place to sit. Or, perhaps, lie down and take a nap. Building on the success of his SIT project (thesitproject.com), which installed decorated chairs at local LYNX bus stops that lack seating, O’Connor founded the Banana Hammock Republic, a small business selling “tactical hammocks” that can be strung up anywhere – the straps have enough flex and grippiness that the hammock can be tied up with a simple bow knot. Response has exceeded O’Connor’s expectations; the website is full of customers’ hammock-rocking selfies. We love an artist with a strong business sense.

Best Treat Yo Self Dish Louis Vuitton roll at Kabooki Sushi

407-228-3839

kabookisushi.com

cavallarigourmet.com

Treat. Yo. Self. It started as a throwaway Tom-and-Donna subplot on NBC’s Parks and Recreation, but blew up into a memefest/Tumblr avalanche/life philosophy/excuse for doing or buying just about anything you can’t really afford but will make you feel goooood. And in the great tradition of overthe-top luxury at a small-bite price, you cannot beat the Louis Vuitton roll at Kabooki Sushi. First there’s the name, calculated to drive any label whore wild. Then there’s the embarrassment-of-riches composition of the thing: king crab meat, asparagus, tempura flakes and orange-chili sauce topped with blow-torched wagyu beef, Italian black-truffle salt and crème fraîche, drizzled with fauxnagi sauce (the sablefish-based alternative to unagi, aka freshwater eel, which is overfished – look atchoo, being all eco-conscious and shit) and then, kid you not, sprinkled with 24-karat gold flakes. At $17, it’s such a bargain that you practically have to buy it.

If you can make it past the dozens of types of chicken rolls, gorgeous hand-cut meats, deli salads, prepared to-go entrees, wine racks and the artisan beer cooler, you’ll discover Cavallari Gourmet’s olive bar. There are other olive bars in Orlando, certainly, but we highly covet this gem of an antipasto bar for its size and selection: You’ll find imported olives of all shades that are marinated and stuffed every which way – with feta, almonds, blue cheese, prosciutto, peppers – fresh mozzarella balls, Italian peppers, roasted tomatoes, marinated cipolline onions and much, much more.

Best Reason to Pucker Up Pickle shots at Ollie’s Public House 3400 Edgewater Drive

407-999-8934 olliespublichouse.com

What’s better than taking a shooter of straight tequila or whiskey? Why, chasing said shot with some spicy pickle juice, of course! This College Park watering hole – sister bar to downtown’s Finnhenry’s – is known for its “dirty” picklebacks: the Dirty Henry (Patrón tequila) and the Dirty Finn (Tullamore Dew whiskey). You might be surprised to find the sour taste of the pickles nicely masks the hard-liquor taste of the, well, liquor.

chuanlugarden.com

mitomatina.com

It’s simple, it’s comforting, and it’ll leave you wanting more even as it tears a hole in your intestine. The wee nuggets of ridiculously fiery chicken make the chongqing lazi a must on any visit to downtown’s Chuan Lu Garden. The intense blast of Sichuan peppercorns is reason enough to order the dish, but the heap (and we mean heap) of delicately crisp red chilies in the mix is so insanely addictive that the chicken morsels eventually act as chasers.

We were first drawn to this Spanish gem in Hannibal Square during an Another Round pub crawl, when we were looking for a boozeabsorbing type of meal. One look at BARcelona’s vegetarian tapas menu and we knew the macaroni and cheese would hit that indulgent, comfort-food spot. With its buttery Manchego cheese and crispy gratin crust, it so did – especially when paired with a refreshing glass of sangría or Spanish white.

Best Adorable Brunch Dish Mini biscuits & gravy at Cask & Larder 565 W. Fairbanks Ave., Winter Park

321-280-4200 caskandlarder.com

The Ravenous Pig chef-owners Julie and James Petrakis opened sister restaurant Cask & Larder right down the street in Winter Park last year, to rapturous foodie acclaim. We heard tons of positives about the “Southern Public House”: tasty locally sourced plates, diverse house-brewed beer and so on. So it was no surprise when a Sundaymorning brunch order of biscuits and gravy ($9) landed us with a charming plate of fluffy, buttery miniature blackpepper biscuits and a small-yet-satisfying bowl of country gravy – for spoonful pouring, if you have manners. They were almost too cute to eat. Almost.

Best Old Thing That Hasn’t Changed and Never Should Lee & Rick’s Oyster Bar 5621 Old Winter Garden Road

407-293-3587 leeandricksoysterbar.com

Things change. Time rolls on. And there are many vestiges of Florida’s past (hell, and present) we could do without. But there’s one thing, as old and rundown as it is, that we hope never changes: Lee & Rick’s, the absolute best oyster bar in town, and certainly the best throwback to a simpler era. It began in 1950 as a nine-stool BYOB that only served oysters, and while the restaurant and menu have expanded over the last six decades, you should stick to what they do best. Get a cold beer and a bucket or two of raw oysters and go to town. You won’t be disappointed.

Best Comfort Food With a Kick Jalapeño mashed potatoes from Cecil’s Texas Style Bar-B-Q 2800 S. Orange Ave.

407-423-9871 cecilsbbq.com

We guarantee your office holiday party is nothing compared to an OW holiday party. That’s mainly because, besides the annual trip to Wally’s (after the official party), every year we stuff ourselves with grub from Cecil’s Bar-B-Q, and that includes an enormous tub of their jalapeño mashed potatoes. They’re creamy, but not too, and they’re just spicy enough that some might consider them a hazing ritual of sorts for newbies. Once you taste these taters, you’ll never look at mashed potatoes the same way again. (That could also be the cocktails from Wally’s talking.)

So you heard there was this authentic Oktoberfest thing happening in Casselberry, and you had nothing to do that night anyway. You didn’t expect much, until you drove up Orange Lane and saw the German Alps-style lodge down this middle-of-nowhere road. Whoa. You paid your entrance fee and were directed into some kind of awesome party in the woods where people were eating wursts, drinking authentic dunkel and dancing, singing, cheering … in the woods in Casselberry. It’s as surreal and beautiful as it sounds, and words can hardly do it justice.

Many of the finest sushi restaurants in town advertise otoro, but very few actually serve the wondrously fatty cut of tuna prized by sushi enthusiasts. More often than not, you’ll be informed that they’re all out, but not at Sushi Tomi. They always seem to have otoro and, at $5.25 for a piece, in-the-know locals here (many of whom are Japanese) avoid paying Nobu prices for an opportunity to indulge in an orgasmic extravagance.

When we first picked up this cookbook late last year, we were impressed by how co-authors Pam Brandon, Katie Farmand and Heather McPherson not only showcased a collection of in-depth profiles of Floridabased farms, but also how they were able to pry detailed recipes away from those farmers and other local chefs. The coolest part about cooking up any of the Field to Feast recipes – other than the palpable support you’re providing for local food producers – is that you can find food (sometimes just a few hours old) from many of these farms at a bevy of Orlando markets.

FOOD & DRINK Best Wakeup Juice Café con leche at Zaza New Cuban Diner 3500 Curry Ford Road

407-228-0060 zazacubandiner.com

There are precious few things that Miami gets right. South Beach is OK, we guess, if you’re into fake tits and fake people and overpriced espressotinis. Other than that, no thanks. Except for the food, that is – specifically, the wonderful, and wonderfully affordable, Cuban food. And nowhere in Orlando replicates that cuisine quite as well as Zaza New Cuban Diner: the quesitos, the medianoche, the lechon asado. It’s all pretty fantastic, but do yourself a favor while you’re there: grab a large coffee con leche. This exquisite concoction – it’s just espresso, steamed milk and sugar, but (trust us!) is very difficult to do correctly on your own – has the juice to get you going better than Dunkin’ ever could. More important, it’s absolutely bursting with flavor, perhaps because Zaza’s coffee is roasted just down the road in Longwood. No one in town – or outside of Miami, so far as we’ve found – does it better.

Restaurant That Best Replicates Dining on Mumbai’s Streets Chaat House 9472 S. Orange Blossom Trail

407-240-4922 chaathouseorlando.com

Chaat House’s savory South Asian street food is just as animated as its bold, over-the-top Bollywood-style decor. It’s not uncommon to see patrons seated with their feet up, yakking away in assorted Desi dialects while munching on plates of chaat – the cool, sometimes creamy, sometimes crunchy, always spicy street snacks. If you’ve never had the pleasure, head on over and sample some pani puri, bhel puri or papri chaat; then you’ll get the idea. Finish off with some chai and bite-sized mithai (sweets) and you can hold off on your trip to India for a while. orlandoweekly.com

Best Tiny Baklava Mediterranean Blue 435 E. Michigan St.

407-422-2583 mediterraneanblue.net

Perhaps it’s a testament to how much we love virtually everything on the menu at South Orlando Greek eatery Mediterranean Blue, but there’s something about the super sweet-and-flaky homemade baklava – most notably, its size – that really sticks to our ribs. Actually, it’s not really tiny baklava, but rather one substantial slab of baklava sliced in four pieces. Just that dainty aesthetic readjustment (perfect for sharing!) is enough to lure us back and leave us wanting more. 68

Best Taco Stand in a Grocery Store Tienda Mexicana Jalisco 2021 N. Goldenrod Road

407-282-8339

The brightly colored grocery on Goldenrod Road is frequented as much for the taco stand inside as it is for Latin comestible staples. There, young ladies prepare some of the best and (at $1.50 each) cheapest tacos in the city. Sunday afternoons are popular with Mexican families, who occupy the handful of tables downing any of the nine tacos offered, including juicy al pastor, richly flavored carne asada, cabeza (beef head) and lengua. Dip them in smoky hot sauce and follow it up with a sugary guzzle of Mexican Coca-Cola for full impact.

Best Cocktail That Looks Like a Science Experiment Berries & Bubbles at Ocean Prime 7339 W. Sand Lake Road

407-781-4880 oceanprimeorlando.com

Restaurant Row’s Ocean Prime specializes in seafood, but the swanky restaurant’s “all-time best selling cocktail,” the Berries & Bubbles ($14), packs a little something not found underwater. The ingredients don’t sound so unusual – Belvedere Citrus vodka, marinated blackberries, housemade sour mix and Domaine Chandon brut champagne – but the cube of dry ice plunked in at the end adds over-the-top pizazz. The recipe can be found on Ocean Prime’s website in case you want to try mixing up one at home, but we suggest caution when playing around with dry ice – those fingertips come in handy for other things.

We won’t go into the cozy courtyard ambience or executive chef Michael Perri’s rustic-yet-refined menu of Italian dishes. It’s no matter that one step inside the Garlic has you feeling like you’re at home – if you’re from a big, welcoming Tuscan family, that is. The highlight of any meal at this seaside pearl is the sangría, mainly because the fruit-and-wine concoction is served in a vibrantly hued, ceramic chicken-shaped pitcher. You can order a Chicken Little (half carafe, $11.50), a Chicken Big (full carafe, $21), or if you’re lame, you can sip by the glass ($5.95). At the end of the meal you might be stuffed with booze and pasta, but before heading home, check out the room near the entrance where you can purchase your own ceramic gallo as a take-home souvenir of your Italian evening.

Hourglass Brewery is one of the new kids on the Orlando craft-beer block, but thousands of drinkers flocked to the grand opening of the locally owned brewery last year. We’re not sure how all those people fit into the humble tasting room (it’s itty-bitty, with maybe fewer than a dozen bar stools), but the home-brewed goodness flowing out of this space is why fans keep coming back. It doesn’t hurt that they regularly offer beer-flight specials, artwork by local artists hangs on the walls, and food trucks serve up dinner most evenings.

Best Waterfront Lunch Spot Lake Minneola Inn and Tiki Bar 508 S. Main Ave., Minneola

352-394-2232

Located off the beaten path, just to the northeast of Clermont, this outdoor tiki bar adjacent to the tiny Lake Minneola Inn offers a prime sip-and-nosh setup. It’s entirely outdoors, save for the bar area, and it’s the kind of casual place where you can show up in a T-shirt and cut-offs, or simply park your boat at the adjacent dock and enjoy lunch under one of the few umbrella-shaded tables on the deck. Don’t be surprised if there’s a line for tables; just grab a cold one from the bar and enjoy the view while you wait.

New leadership at OMA and CFAM

39 S. Magnolia Ave. avalongallery.org

omart.org | cfam.rollins.edu

Thus far it’s been business as usual, at least to the eyes of the general public. But behind the scenes, Glen Gentele, the new director of the Orlando Museum of Art, and Ena Heller, the new director of Rollins College’s Cornell Fine Arts Museum, are surely rattling cages. Within months of starting at CFAM, Heller announced that the museum had won a grant making admission to the Cornell free for their whole 35th-anniversary year, 2013. Gentele, whose new home celebrates its 90th anniversary in 2014, hasn’t announced a price cut, but does have plans for a comprehensive archiving project. That may not sound thrilling, but Gentele’s background and interest in contemporary art makes him a great catch for a museum that rarely shows off the full spectrum of its impressive collection of modern American works. We expect big, big things.

The intimate space on the ground floor of the historic Rogers Building has been an art-lover’s downtown destination for years, and its absence has been felt during its recent shuttering. The good news is that the gallery has reopened; the better news is that there’s a knowledgeable contemporary-art curator at the helm (Patrick Greene, guiding force behind 2012’s citywide Walk On By project and most recently employed at Urban ReThink); the best news is that Greene has plans not just for the gallery but also for the upstairs screening room that used to house the Digital Media Arts Center.

Cardboard Art Festival Jan. 25-27, 2013 cardboardartfestival.com

First it was a jam-packed art opening featuring seven talented Orlando artists, then it became a pop-up dinner featuring chef Bryce Balluff and the Orlando Symphony Youth Orchestra. Then it was a daytime kids matinee that later became a music and puppetry performance by Dog Powered Robot and Andy Matchett & the Minks. The best part: All three days revolved around the gloriously impermanent medium of common cardboard. January’s premiere of the Cardboard Art Festival at the Orange Studio showed just how much gold our local artists can spin from straw.

Best Renegade Artist Turned Respectable Entrepreneur Baby BlueStar When we first encountered choreographer/entrepreneur Baby BlueStar, she was presenting her genre- and gender-bending lip-sync show at Orlando’s finest gay bars and Fringe festivals. Half a decade later, Blue is not only the owner of her own theatrical venue (called the Venue), but also a respected Ivanhoe Village board member. Best of all, she hasn’t lost any artistic edge transitioning from outsider to institution, as her recent Hammers and Lambs collaboration with artist Patrick Fatica proved.

Best Place That’s Impossible to Google The Venue 511 Virginia Drive

407-412-6895 thevenueorlando.com

PHOTO BY JORGEN NICHOLAS TRYGVED

We don’t mind a little challenge when it comes to tracking down our city’s newest performance spaces, but the Venue, Ivanhoe’s latest gem, was a true Boolean search puzzle when it first opened. But it was worth the digging, because once you walk into the lobby, loop through the small patio and enter the delightful main room, you’ll learn why those in the know from the theater and music communities (and private party-throwers, to boot!) have found good reason to stage their events there.

Best Public Breakup HYPER-Bolic Friday, April 19, 2013, at the Venue

Interpreting the stages of a breakup through performance art sounds painful in more ways than one, but the exceptional imagination that local artist Jessica Earley brought to this production translated that emotional scarring so well, the show managed to equally brand our memory. Clever choreography, an Internet spirit guide and a hilarious relic from her relationship (a blanket with a life-size photo of her ex printed on it) injected humor, but her fearless re-enactment of still-fresh feelings was what pushed showgoers to reject any criticism. orlandoweekly.com

Artists in Wondercamp

Monica Wendel

Misty Forest Enrichment Center 611 N. Hyer Ave.

The Kerouac House kerouacproject.org

407-455-1193 mistyforestcenter.wordpress.com

Every day, we read local ceramist Jenn Benner’s Facebook updates from Artists in Wondercamp, the kids’ day camp she’s leading this summer, and we surrender to a jealousy that’s ugly to behold. “This morning at ‘Artists in Wondercamp: My Best Fiend, Exploring Picasso & Matisse,’ we investigated Matisse’s giant paper cutouts. Then we participated in a papercutting workshop.” “We just watched this [Yayoi Kusama] video at Artists in Wondercamp and now all we want to do is create our own Obliteration Room and spin around inside it until we pass out with dizzy delight.” “Today at ‘Artists in Wondercamp: The Sight of Music’ we explored the music of Philip Glass by making overlapping sound patterns with various instruments. Then we watched clips from Koyaanisqatsi and tried our hand at the fingerprint-painting technique Chuck Close used to make his portrait of Philip Glass.” Today at our desk, we gritted our teeth and wondered why our art teacher never got past poster paints, blunt scissors and woven construction paper.

When Brooklyn poet Monica Wendel became the Kerouac House’s latest writer in residence in March, she didn’t waste time discovering our neck of the woods. Besides stealing the show from literary lights Philip Deaver and John King during May’s Functionally Literate reading at the Timucua Arts White House, Wendel also took road trips to tourist destinations like Kennedy Space Center and Weeki Wachee Springs State Park. Her poetry picked up some Sunshine State stank along the way, illuminating Florida’s inescapable twinges of fear and hopelessness. In “Brain Science,” a new poem written during her stay, Wendel concludes a thought with “even as much as Florida feels like hell, or caves under its own weight into sinkholes that reach the slow-moving aquifer,” suggesting that three months here might just be long enough.

The Atlantic Center for the Arts, our New Smyrna Beach gem of cutting-edge creativityslash-Skinner box experiment in cultural deprivation for visiting artists, recently hosted an all-cartoonist residency. In October 2012, a group of comics creators got together for three weeks of imagination incubation, and this book is the record of their days. Ellen Forney, Dean Haspiel, Megan Kelso, Lara Antal, Sean Ironman and 20 more contribute short strips, ranging in tone from the snarky to the introspective, on the themes of “tropical isolation,” the “wondrous blur of creative freedom” and “other primordial nature.”

Exotically Eastern European, St. George (a Greek Orthodox church) is entered through a diminutive door. Once you’re inside, the white-marbled lobby re-centers you with candles and tapestry, and while ascending the stair to the sanctuary, you can marvel at gorgeously painted murals, intricate gold-leaf decorative scrollwork, and a sideways, quirky chair for His Holiness fenced off and turned toward the pulpit. Reeking of ancient spirit, St. George’s has stepped arena-style seating, augmenting the acoustics and turning a mass into a religious experience.

This Czech émigré’s waterfront home is a gorgeous setting for his monumental expressionistic sculptures, dating back to the 1940s. While its current programming suits the Sunday painter more than the serious artist, it is still a beautiful setting for events, and a stroll through the gardens to gaze upon art that was created during World War II, expressing the world’s greatest modern agony, is a powerful experience not to be missed. 84

Showcasing her recent portrait series of U.S. vice presidents, along with quirky commemorations of noteworthy dates, Maitland artist Dawn Schreiner’s Facebook wall is full of miniature illustrated lessons on life and history. Did you know that soldiers assigned to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier “can never drink alcohol or swear in public for the rest of their lives”? We didn’t either, until we read her recent Memorial Day post. Schreiner, who’s worked as a courtroom sketch artist and commercial illustrator, delights in revealing surprising or serious information with uncharacteristic whimsy. “I don’t know that I would recognize a person drowning if they were right in front of me,” Schreiner writes in one blog post, before offering a haunting (but lovely) annotated illustration of what a woman drowning actually looks like.

Best World-Class Collection of Modern Architecture Walt Disney World From the 1970 Contemporary Hotel and Epcot’s geodesic dome designed by the Imagineers, to Arata Isozaki’s Human Resources Building (aka “the cooling tower”), to Michael Graves’ Swan and Dolphin hotels and Gwathmey Siegel’s convention center, Disney has been a patron of high modern architecture since the beginning. Unlike most of Disney’s other efforts, which are usually designed to illustrate trite, sugar-coated storylines (e.g., Cinderella’s Castle), its modernist buildings stand on their own, needing no script to shine forth as strong, clear signs of the future. Secret thrill: See the original model built for the Experimental Prototype City of Tomorrow (Epcot) in the early 1970s, complete with skyscrapers and a bold master plan, on the Tomorrowland tram ride. Imagine how the world would be different if it had been built. orlandoweekly.com

Play Nice, Die Young at Peacock Room, May 2013 900 Lives at CityArts Factory, June 2013 facebook.com/boy.kong

Every day in every way, they’re getting better and better. OK, maybe the organizers of the annual Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival aren’t chanting 19th-century self-help guru Émile Coué’s famous autosuggestive mantra to themselves, but it’s working anyway. Each year they tackle a new area of the festival to improve, and 2013 was a banner year: The festival spilled out of its Loch Haven boundaries to spread across Ivanhoe Village, with shows at Theatre Downtown and Baby Blue’s new Venue and a 13,000-square-foot warehouse space on Alden Road hosting Visual Fringe. We can’t wait to see how they’re going to top that, but we have faith that they will.

Best Extended Programming Daytime hours and docent tours at Snap! 2013

Orlando artist Boy Kong first wowed us with his spectacular 3-D painted-wood works displayed at Tako Cheena last October (Anti-Happy Story Time), and that was before we found out that he’s only 19 years old. Following his first Art Basel Miami Beach show in December, Kong has been working relentlessly to fill gallery walls. His May show at Peacock Room, Play Nice, Die Young, was “inspired by the Greeks’ ‘black-figure’ paintings,” he said, and gave us a glimpse into the guts of some of Kong’s spirit animals. But it was his contribution to June’s B-Side Artists Annual Showcase, 900 Lives, that really stunned us. Kong hand-cut and painted 100 seemingly identical maneki-neko (“lucky cat”) prints, each “gifted with their own human touch/flaws.” Boy Kong’s YouTube videos reveal a young artist willing to invest the hard work necessary to bring his wooden menagerie to life.

ART BY BOY KONG

Art parties are great, but are they great for art? Whether it’s Art Basel Miami Beach or Snap! Orlando, the work is surrounded, almost obscured, by crowds of people – who, as is to be expected at a fabulous social event, are paying more attention to each other than what’s on the walls. It’s fun, sure, but less than optimal for appreciating the art. This year Patrick Kahn took our not-so-subtle hints in that direction and blessedly added daytime hours and even docent-led tours over the two weekend days of his massive and magnificent photography festival. Having the opportunity to drift around the huge warehouse drinking it all in with no distractions was one of the high points of our year – although we hear the opening night party was a blast, too.

The now non-smoking Peacock has recently undergone general renovation, but the upgrades to the music room are what matter most to us. The more open space now has a proper stage, better sound system, taller ceiling height, visual connection with the street (for now) and no more of the ill-fitting, ill-sitting benches that used to just get in the way during shows. This spot has a long tradition of great music happenings, especially in the past couple years, but the recent facility improvements show a stepped-up commitment to live music. Now you’re talking our language.

But because it’s the sister spot to Will’s Pub, it only took a short while for the music strand deep in its DNA to show. Now, it’s host to a vibrant carousel of themed music nights including ’90s R&B (I Don’t See Nothin’ Wrong), ’80s underground (Smilin’ Dan), ’50s and ’60s dance (Shake a Tail Tuesdays), jazz (Absinthe & Friends) and even a monthly record club, all for no cover. It also sometimes hosts exceptionally intimate special performances by notable touring musicians (Matt Pond, Matt Woods, etc.).

MUSIC & NIGHTLIFE Best New Local Showcase Residents Showcase facebook.com/residentsshowcase

We’re all about local music. But there’s just so much to sift through, and most of it’s not good. (Trust us on this; we do this professionally.) That’s why this new local music showcase is especially notable. It’s a series curated by Chandler Strang, a noted young musician who recently released nationally with his band Saskatchewan and who has an insider’s finger on the city’s indie pulse. The showcase has proven a testing ground for promising new area talent and interesting new projects from established musicians.

Best Freak Music Derby Pedal Challenge facebook.com/pedalchallengehq

This is not the talent-show lameness or corporate shilling of your typical band battle. It’s a wildly left-field individual music challenge imagined by some of the freakiest minds of the local underground, and it’s won by whoever best combines the ability to work effects pedals and the talent for inspired extemporaneous experimentalism. Past winners of this monthly-ish contest include Dr. Moonstien, Tiny Waves’ Steven Head and Bob on Blonde’s Bob Hershberger. It’s a crazy event that’s as likely to make you laugh as it is to blow your mind.

MUSIC & NIGHTLIFE Best Bar Rebirth The Matador 724 Virginia Drive facebook.com/thematadorbarorlando

A bar’s atmosphere is a mystical thing. If one’s lucky enough to capture a special mood in the first place, seldom does that magic survive a change in space and neighborhood. But the Matador is one of the most successful transplants in recent history. From staff to furnishings to loyal clientele, it still has that cherished Matador vibe. But it’s now part of the rising, vibrant Mills Avenue scene and is much less susceptible to occasional influxes from the toolbox that is downtown.

Best Case Studies to Stop Indoor Smoking The success of Peacock Room and Lil Indies The Peacock Room 1321 N. Mills Ave.

407-228-0048 thepeacockroom.com Lil Indies 1036 N. Mills Ave. willspub.org

Tobacco use kills more people annually than AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined. This fact makes indoor smoking particularly distressing for live music fans who cannot escape the stench of premature death at local shows. Thanks to the September opening of Will Walker’s smokeless sidecar, Lil Indies, and the Peacock Room’s April 1 smokefree rebirth, Orlando has observed that music and drinks both go down better with a few gulps of clean air.

Several dozen cops and Guardian Angels watched nervously as a sweaty tension began to permeate Orange Avenue late on the night of Saturday, May 18. The street was closed to traffic, while hundreds of singing, celebrating music fans exited one of two big shows happening just blocks apart: Bret Michaels’ aging frat-house crowd, stumbling out of the WMMO Downtown Concert Series, intersected with Paul McCartney’s audience of boomers and grandkids, leaving the first of his two nights at Amway Center. So did this group of ill-matched mobs clash, or come together in harmony? Let’s just say that the fans of two different old white men can get along marvelously.

Stepping into the Courtesy feels like wandering into an old-fashioned space (worthy of serving the classic drink by the same name) through a Narnia-esque portal – it’s that big a shift from downtown’s otherwise downtrodden curb appeal. The most immediate impact comes by savoring the theming and details executed so rustically by the inspired folks at Lot1433 – and more specifically, design mastermind Andrew White. Up next for Lot1433: designing Skyebird juice bar at East End Market. Let’s hope the aesthetic there is as intoxicating as Courtesy’s.

Best Development in Local Music Rabbitfoot Records 3548 Hopkins Ave., Titusville

321-362-8153 rabbitfootrecords.com

Countless local musicians could’ve wept (from joy) when Rabbitfoot Records announced earlier this year that they were starting an affordable record-cutting service, using a German-imported lathe. The icing on the cake, though, was their next bold steps: becoming an independent record label; signing Palm Bay’s Gillian Carter, Orlando’s the Woolly Bushmen and a slew of talent; and distributing their records close by at Park Ave CDs, so we don’t have to make that Titusville drive. But after they renovate and reopen Aug. 3, you might want to.

Best Neighborhood to Walk Around That We Never Thought We’d Want to Walk Around

Best Thing They Did to Make Us Want to Go to Universal Orlando Again

Baldwin Park neighborhood

Opened a Simpsons-themed Springfield attraction

New Broad Street and its environs on Lake Baldwin

Universal Orlando, 6000 Universal Blvd.

OK, we admit it: We were haters. We tend to turn our noses up at the Stepford Wifery of planned communities, so it took us a while to come around on Baldwin Park. But once we started finding ourselves wandering its paved footpaths, which wind between lakes and natural areas designed to attract native wildlife, we started to realize that it’s actually a fantastic place to just … go for a walk. There are plenty of pretty grassy public areas and pocket parks, shady spots and attractive landscaping. Sure, the houses have a kind of faux historic thing going on, and some of our favorite stores that used to populate the main drag (New Broad Street) have shuttered, but we still like to walk in Baldwin Park, and we’re not afraid to say it.

universalorlando.com

407-363-8000

When we heard that Universal Orlando was expanding by theming part of the park to replicate the Simpsons hometown of Springfield, we were immediately excited. When we learned that, not only were they going to build a model town to walk around, but they were also going to build a Lard Lad donut shop and a Moe’s Tavern where we could actually order Duff Beer (brewed especially for Universal Orlando), we went out and bought ourselves an annual pass. That’s how excited we were. Good work, Universal. You are winning the theme park wars.

Best Orlando Magic Decision Rob Hennigan nba.com/magic

When he traded Dwight Howard away for seemingly nothing, Bleacher Report called Orlando Magic general manager Rob Hennigan a genius. Magic fans, who endured a brutal losing season and the NBA’s worst record, needed that sort of emotional security from the newly appointed boss, especially because they couldn’t get it from their team. They may not have won the lottery, but with Hennigan at the helm, fortune could smile on the Magic again. Consider Hennigan the dreamy response to the team’s unfortunate Dwightmare.

Best Climbing Thing for Children Under 7 Denning Park Community Playground 255 S. Denning Drive, Winter Park

407-599-3397

Climbing is hard in flat-as-a-pancake Orlando – children resort to bookshelves, countertops, grandparents. Of all the playground equipment around the city, Denning Park’s Community Playground offers a grandly huge, labyrinthine wooden contraption on soft, nonouchy mulch. It’s custom-designed, rather than a brand-name prefab made of ugly plastic and sizzling-hot steel tubes, and has a shaggy, premodern appearance (though the city of Winter Park has sanded down the splinters and edges). Sheltered by marvelous shady oaks, parents can lounge at picnic tables while the city’s youngest adventurers explore a fascinating, sometimes tunnel-like, three-dimensional space. Best part: It’s free. orlandoweekly.com

And for Orlando baseball fans looking to catch a game at the ballpark, every summer the Florida League offers more than 100 games per season, with six teams playing all around the area – from DeLand to Leesburg to Sanford to College Park. The full roster of evening games sees to it that the grown-ups enjoy the game with cold beer in hand while the kiddies go wild with on-field activities. Plus the tickets are only $5, so you might also consider it the best bet for watching future major leaguers in action.

Retro-styled and suitable for the whole family, White Lightning is the best (and only) wooden coaster in town, with a vertical midcourse U-turn and dynamite double-up hills creating crazy airtime until the final brakes. Tickets run $9 for a single ride and $39.95 for an all-day wristband.

We’d consider the West Orange Trail one of our top Central Florida cycling destinations for a couple of reasons: The trail has both great distance (22 miles in total) for the hard-core cyclists, and for the cruisers, safe and scenic routes through historic downtown Winter Garden. For those who don’t own their own bicycle, we suggest heading to Mile Zero of the trail and renting one from West Orange Trail Bikes & Blades, a full-service bike shop offering hourly rentals ($6-$10) and daylong rates, some of which include delivery to your hotel and guided rides. Ride for as long as you like, but the further away you travel, keep in mind: 1) The trail sees more hilly terrain toward the Apopka area; and 2) You have to turn around and ride back.

Best One-Hit Wonder Orlando Solar Bears Coach Drake Berehowsky leaves after one season We were smitten when we heard that Drake Berehowsky would be leading the new Orlando Solar Bears as head coach for their inaugural 2012-2013 ECHL hockey season. No, not just because we couldn’t help but drool over Berehowsky’s hunky good looks; hockey fans all over Orlando (yes, there are surprisingly a good amount of them) were stoked for the revival of the dormant hockey team. That’s why it came as sad news to hear Berehowsky would be jumping ship after just one season with the Solar Bears. It’s no surprise, though, because the team was pretty terrible in their first year: The Solar Bears finished last in the South division and second-tolast in conference standings. While rumor has it the coach will head to another ECHL team next year, Orlando hockey fans should look forward to the upcoming season with high hopes of a new (and possibly more experienced) coach and a handful of new players.

Best Return on Investment Orlando Predators 407-648-4444 orlandopredators.com

It’s the thought that counts, and although the Orlando Predators didn’t win at least 10 of their 18 games last season, they’re still fulfilling their half of the “losing is unacceptable” performance guarantee bargain by crediting season ticketholders to make up for games they blew. So, heads up: Next year could be the year the Predators rise to the top of the indoor football food chain. If not, your tickets will, at least, be greatly discounted.

BEST OF ORLANDO PARTY 2013

Every year we promise ourselves that we’re not going to overindulge on a school night, swirling in a mingle-blackoutcrumble while wearing a ridiculous outfit. Every year we break that promise and make out with a politician. With good reason! The Best of Orlando party is notorious for its rivers of free libations and mountains of free food, for the air-kisses flying between local bigwigs and the general conviviality of a city keyed up on self-celebration. This year, expect free Stella, Bud Light, Tanqueray, Ciroc, Don

EVENTS

HAVOK

Julio and Crown Royal (what the what!) as well as nibbly bits from local favorites Hash House a Go Go, That One Spot, Maxine’s on Shine and B&B Junction. There will be the obligatory and awesome ambient noise from DJs Diddles, BMF and Q-Burns straddling the wobbly party axis between the Beacham and the Social, and there will be plenty of opportunities to craft new regrets that smell like candied armpits. Hopefully, you’ve already secured an invite, because this bitch is gonna be packed and there are no invites left. See you there? – Billy Manes

7-11 p.m. | The Beacham and the Social, 46 N. Orange Ave. | 407-377-0400 | facebook.com/orlandoweekly | free (invite only)

Canadian noise-metal band THU KEN Mode has been roundly praised by everyone from Pitchfork to the freaking Juno Awards as being one of the best and most groundbreaking heavy acts around today. And you know what? This band totally deserves it, delivering an aggressive, thudding and deceptively complex attack that’s as rooted in (good) metalcore as it is in progressive-minded sludge. And their live approach, burnished by years of road-slogging with everyone from Kylesa and Pelican to Atlas Moth and Deafheaven, is one that continues to evolve, upping the ante on their already impressive studio endeavors. Oh, and you know what else? This critically acclaimed and unarguably respected band had to find a bass player a couple of years ago and ended up settling on Orlando’s very own Andrew LaCour, who’s been in the band ever since. So yeah, that means this club show will be extra-special. – Jason Ferguson MUSIC

MUSIC

KEN MODE

124

Maybe some folks can’t truly appreciate the technical difficulty of playing metal music, but surely everyone can appreciate this: Just one particular sub-genre, thrash metal, alone has five huge regional scenes spanning the globe, each of which has spawned some of the biggest bands in metal’s entire history. It’s kind of hard to ignore and so is their output. And one of the most notable bands doing it today, Havok, is gracing our humble metal-loving scene this week at the gates to our Juggernaut kingdom, Backbooth. With a new album that glows with what seems like a form of Cherenkov radiation, Unnatural Selection, featuring a mad scientist about to drive a stake through our planet, you can bet the new music will be as aggressive as you expect, and its message will likely hit close to home in more ways than one. – Ashley Belanger

FLORIDA SMALL FARMS AND ALTERNATIVE ENTERPRISES CONFERENCE E V E N TS Huffington Post named her the “Cutest Organic Farmer” back in 2010, but underneath the good looks, Annie Novak’s got some strong roots in the field-to-fork movement. Not only is she the founder and director of food education program Growing Chefs, Novak’s urban agricultural work gained praise from other notable foodie outlets the likes of Edible Brooklyn and the Cooking Channel. This week, she lands on our side of the field as the keynote speaker for the Florida Small Farms and Alternative Enterprises Conference, a three-day farmto-table experience comprising farm tours, workshops and food tastings. Novak presents on Saturday night, but for the rest of the weekend, guests partake in a host of educational sessions – on topics ranging from food safety to social networking to insect pest management and renewable energy. There’ll also be a “Celebration of Local Food” luncheon midday Saturday, not to mention a weekend-long vendor showcase, including Orlando-based standouts Simple Living Institute and reps from Valencia College’s Landscape and Horticulture Tech program. – Aimee Vitek

Grab your flip-flops and bikini tops for some bottomless margaritas and tequila tasting. Now in its fourth year, Wall Street Plaza throws its annual Margarita Fest to beat the mind-numbing heat of the Central Florida sun. Cooling down should be easy with more than 20 different flavors of margaritas and muchas shots of tequila. With more than three hours of unlimited sampling, you will definitely get your 10 rounds with Jose Cuervo. And to keep you in the mood, reggae band the 506 Crew and reggae-rock group Kayavibe play sweet tropical tunes while you lick the salt, suck the lime and throw another one back. If you still can’t beat the heat, for an extra $10 you can upgrade to the air-conditioned Tequila Terrace at the Monkey Bar where you can enjoy snacks, high-end tequila tasting and free Coronaritas. It’s not exactly Jimmy Buffett’s version of Margaritaville, but it’s close enough. – Kelly Chambers

9TH ANNUAL ARNOLD DAY

It’s that time of year again when the guys over at Lazy Moon Pizza hold a day of tribute to “the greatest man to walk the Earth.” That’s right: It’s Arnold Day 9, the annual birthday celebration of Arnold Schwarzenegger, and this year promises to be the biggest Governator extravaganza Orlando has yet to see. Guests are welcome to show up dressed as their favorite Arnold character, participate in Arnold trivia, watch the lineup of a whopping eight Arnold classics (with audio!), chant Arnold quotes across the restaurant, and indulge in dollar beer specials every time Arnold kicks a bad guy’s ass onscreen. And as if we didn’t have reason enough already to go HAM, proceeds on selected food and drink items will support the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central and Northern Florida. See you at the party, Richter. – Lauren Killer

INDIE BOOKFEST 2013

When the New York Times ran a profile of surprise millionaire and “unsigned” author Amanda Hocking in 2011, it lifted the lid on a trend that most readers and writers are already well aware of: the explosion of self-publishing. (You guys, young writers are bypassing the traditional publishing model, and the NYT is on it.) Orlando’s Indie BookFest is a daylong celebration of the do-it-yourself ethos embodied by these writers. Many (most?) authors in this segment of the book market focus on young adult and/or supernatural themes, so you can expect plenty of troll talk and dystopian teens. Dozens of published authors will be here leading panel discussions and workshops and also available for direct questioning at the 1:30-3:30 p.m. book signing, including Isaac Marion, author of zombie romcom Warm Bodies (which was just made into a movie), and Shelly Crane, NYT best-selling author of no less than four multi-volume series. Come soak up some inspiration. – Jessica Bryce Young

M U S I C Ed Schrader’s Music Beat is as apt a name for the Baltimore psych-punk duo as you could ask for, since the foundation of nearly every song is pounding percussion, and the band originally started as a drum-and-vocals project. But while their beat is abso absolutely danceable, it’s more in the way of “She’s Lost Control” than “Bangarang.” With a voice that gravels like Joe Strummer at times and also drags dramatically like Jello Biafra, Ed Schrader’s Music Beat comes across a lot more hardcore than dance-floor in your ear-holes. It certainly makes a lot more sense for the lineup for this night, which includes one of Matador’s most essential hardcore punk bands, Ceremony. It’s a seriously solid show, and one that will explode Will’s Pub, so make sure to check in to the crappy bathroom one last time while you still can. – Ashley Belanger

BY RO B BRE ZSNY or rifts in your life? You will generate good fortune for yourself if you get to work on healing them. Have you been alienated from an ally or at odds with a beloved dream or separated from a valuable resource? You have a lot of power to fix glitches like those.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) To add zest to mealtime, you might choose food that has been seasoned with red chili peppers, cumin or other piquant flavors. Some chimpanzees have a similar inclination, which is why they like to snack on red fire ants. Judging from the astrological omens, I’m guessing you are currently in a phase when your attraction to spicy things is at a peak – not just for dinner but in other areas of your life, as well. I have a suggestion: Pursue rowdy fun with adventures that have metaphorical resemblances to red chili peppers, but stay away from those that are like red fire ants. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The 19th-century English artist John Constable specialized in painting landscapes. The countryside near his home especially excited him. He said, “The sound of water escaping from mill dams, willows, old rotten planks, slimy posts and brickwork, I love such things. They made me a painter, and I am grateful.” Take a cue from Constable. Spend quality time appreciating the simple scenes and earthy pleasures that nourish your creative spirit. Give your senses the joy of getting filled up with vivid impressions. Immerse yourself in experiences that thrill your animal intelligence. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) This is Grand Unification Week for you. If your left hand has been at war with your right hand, it’s a perfect moment to declare a truce. If your head and heart have not been seeing eye to eye, they are ready to find common ground and start conspiring together for your greater glory. Are there any rips

CANCER (June 21-July 22) In an episode of the TV show Twin Peaks, special agent Dale Cooper gives the following advice to his colleague Harry: “I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it, don’t wait for it, just let it happen.” Now I’m passing on this advice to you. It’s a perfect time for you to try out this fun game. You are in a phase of your astrological cycle when you’ll be wise to intensify your commitment to self-care . . . and deepen your devotion to making yourself feel good . . . and increase your artistry at providing yourself with everything you need to thrive. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Sergei Diaghilev was a Russian ballet impresario who founded Ballets Russes, one of the 20th century’s great ballet companies. At one point in his career he met French playwright Jean Cocteau. Diaghilev dared Cocteau to write a piece for a future Ballets Russes production. “Astonish me!” he said. It took seven years, but Cocteau met the challenge. He created Parade, a ballet that also featured music by Eric Satie and sets by Pablo Picasso. Now let’s pretend I’m Diaghilev and you’re Cocteau. Imagine that I’ve just told you, “Astonish me!” How will you respond? What surprising beauty will you come up with? What marvels will you unleash? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Since 1948, the chemical known as warfarin has been used as a pesticide to poison rats. Beginning in 1954, it also became a medicine prescribed to treat thrombosis and other blood ailments in humans. Is there anything in your own life that resembles warfarin? A person or an asset or an activity that can either be destructive or constructive,

depending on the situation? The time will soon be right for you to employ that metaphorical version of warfarin in both capacities. Make sure you’re very clear about which is which. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) “My heart was a hysterical, unreliable organ,” wrote Vladimir Nabokov in his novel Lolita. We have all gone through phases when we could have uttered a similar statement. But I doubt that this is one of those times for you. On the contrary, I suspect your heart is very smart right now – poised and lucid and gracious. In fact, I suggest you regard the messages coming from your heart as more trustworthy than any other part of you – wiser than your head and your gut and your genitals put together. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) The Holy Grail of skateboarding tricks is called the 1080. To pull it off, a skateboarder has to do three complete 360-degree revolutions in mid-air and land cleanly. No one had ever pulled it off until 12-year-old Tom Schaar did it in 2012. Since then, two other teenage boys have managed the same feat. But I predict that a Scorpio skateboarder will break the record sometime soon, managing a 1260, or three and a half full revolutions. Why? First, because your tribe is unusually geared to accomplish peak performances right now. And second, you have a knack for doing complex maneuvers that require a lot of concentration. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Can you think of ways that you have been colonized? Have any powerful institutions filled up your brain with ideas and desires that aren’t in alignment with your highest values? For instance, has your imagination gotten imprinted with conditioning that makes you worry that your body’s not beautiful enough or your bank account’s not big enough or your style isn’t cool enough? If so, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to get uncolonized. There has rarely been a better time than now to purge any brainwashing that puts you at odds with your deepest self. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) An old Chinese poem tells us that “the true measure of a mountain’s greatness is not its height but whether it is charming enough to attract

dragons.” You and I know there are no such things as dragons, so we can’t take this literally. But what if we treat it as we might a fairy tale? I suggest we draw a metaphorical meaning from it and apply it to your life. Let’s say that you shouldn’t be impressed with how big and strong anything is; you shouldn’t give your mojo to people or institutions simply because they have worldly power. Rather, you will be best served by aligning yourself with what’s mysterious and fabulous. You’re more likely to have fun and generate good fortune for yourself by seeking out stories that appeal to your soul instead of your ego. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) The questions you have been asking aren’t terrible. But they could be formulated better. They might be framed in such a way as to encourage life to give you crisp insights you can really use rather than what you’ve been getting lately, which are fuzzy conjectures that are only partially relevant. Would you like some inspiration? See if any of these inquiries help hone your spirit of inquiry. 1) What kind of teacher or teaching do you need the most right now? 2) What part of you is too tame, and what can you do about it? 3) What could you do to make yourself even more attractive and interesting to people than you already are? 4) What is the pain that potentially has the most power to awaken your dormant intelligence? PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) “There are some enterprises in which a careful disorderliness is the true method.” So says Ishmael, the hero of Herman Melville’s 19th-century novel Moby Dick. He is ostensibly referring to whale hunting, which is his job, but some modern critics suggest he’s also talking about the art of storytelling. I suspect his statement applies to a certain enterprise you are currently engaged in, as well. Can you wrap your mind and heart around the phrase “careful disorderliness”? I hope so, because I think it’s the true method. Here are some other terms to describe it: benevolent chaos; strategic messiness; purposeful improvisation; playful experiments.

BY DAN SAVAGE really meant everything and see what he says. If he says, “Yes, everything,” then spill – or leak – your kink. But if he hedges his bets, NAPPIES, let him get to know you a bit better, and explore some of his kinks before disclosing your own. I am a 28-year-old gay man living in a major East Coast city. I recently connected with a guy on a vanilla dating website, and we are quickly developing a real interest in each other. After talking online for a bit, we exchanged numbers. Our first conversation was through text messages for the better part of six hours. The next night, we talked over the phone for an hour or two. And the third consecutive night was our first date. In that first text conversation, he stated that he is into “everything from mild to wild.” The comment came without solicitation from me, during a conversation that he initiated about sexual preferences. This was a major turn-on for me, increasing my interest in him. I’ve had limited experience with BDSM, but I am looking to try more, so I was thrilled to receive this message. I am very familiar with one kink: diapers. It’s a huge part of my sexual identity, and I ideally want it to be part of a sex life with my partner. Normally I would wait until months into a new relationship to bring up the topic, but since he opened the door, should I talk about it now? Should I drop hints to see how he responds? Since this has the potential to be more than just a hookup, what’s the best way to proceed? NERVOUSLY ANTICIPATING PADDED PANTS IN EROTIC SITUATIONS

I’ve long advised kinksters who are dating vanillas – or presumed vanillas (PVs), I should say, as it’s not uncommon for a presumed-to-be-vanilla partner to reveal kinks of their own after a partner discloses their kinks – to wait until the PV has gotten to know them before disclosing. (Ironically, of course, every kinkster is a PV until the moment of disclosure.) Since so many true vanillas have a knee-jerk, negative reaction to kinks, it’s only fair that kinksters have a chance to let a new partner get to know them before opening up. That way, a vanilla can weigh any prejudices they might have about kinky people (they’re dangerous and depraved, not BF or GF material) against what they’ve come to know (and like) about the kinkster they’ve been dating. Sometimes it works out (the vanilla comes to enjoy the kink because it gives someone they care about pleasure, the vanilla grows to enjoy the kink themselves, the vanilla gives the kinkster a pass to enjoy their kink with others), and sometimes it doesn’t work out (the kink is a deal-breaking libido-killer and the kinkster winds up dumped). But your case is different, NAPPIES, as the gentleman you’re courting has already disclosed his kinks. According to my treasured and frequently consulted copy of Emily Post’s Etiquette, the proper response to a disclosure of kinks by a suitor is the prompt disclosure of one’s own kinks. Now, very few people who say they’re into “everything” are actually into every single thing. A Google search for “toaster fetish” pulls up 260,000 results. They’re not all pages created by sexual fetishists, but some are sites created by actual toaster pervs. And just as your new boyfriend probably wasn’t thinking “even toasters!” when he said “everything,” he probably wasn’t thinking “even diapers!” Because while diapers are a huge turn-on for you and other diaper fetishists, they’re not something that leaps to mind when even a kinky person says “from mild to wild.” And this presents you with a problem. As Emily Post put it: “A sexual fetish for an item of attire so strongly associated with childhood will give pause to even the most depraved of suitors.” As such, NAPPIES, you may be within your rights to drop hints about your diaper fetish instead of flat-out disclosing it. Ask him if he

Here’s the Reader’s Digest Condensed Version: I’m a sexually inactive (by my own choice) heterosexual female in my late 40s who up until recently used to be much heavier and in rapidly declining health. Since my type 2 diabetes diagnosis, I have achieved substantial weight loss, a much-improved diet and a little Clairol Nice ’n’ Easy. I now look and feel infinitely better than I ever did in my late 20s. People in my apartment building have been doing double takes, and recently I even got carded at my favorite restaurant dining out with a female neighbor friend half my age! While I admit the newly acquired positive attention is fun, I’m happy staying single and am not interested in developing any LTRs with the opposite sex. The weird thing is, the majority of guys doing any flirting with me seem to be much younger than I am. A wise, older female friend of mine once commented that men “don’t know what to make” of someone like me. OK, I think. So am I too narcissistic? I can’t seem to relate or really keep conversations going. Plenty of younger men in their 20s and 30s are nice looking, but I’ll be 50 next summer! I’M NOT A COUGAR THOUGH I’M VERY ENERGIZED

“The first thing I’d like to say to INACTIVE is congratulations on tackling her type 2 diabetes with such determination and getting such fabulous results!” says Cindy Gallop, a former high-flying advertising executive who is now the founder and driving force behind makelovenotporn.com, a website and movement designed to blow up pornography. Gallop is a fan of younger men, INACTIVE, and younger men are fans of Gallop. “Of course she’s getting so much flirtatious attention from younger guys!” says Gallop. “There are many young men out there interested in and attracted to older women – but society considers that relationship model less socially acceptable than the older-man/youngerwoman version, which is why she’s so surprised. Well, the good news is she can stay single, not embark on any LTRs with the opposite sex and still have a lot of fun with younger men, without worrying about keeping conversations going – because the fun doesn’t need to involve much talking.” If “sexually inactive by choice” was a choice you made back in your heavier, unhealthier days due to a lack of confidence, Gallop says that this is the perfect time for you to get back in the game – and younger men are the perfect playmates. “INACTIVE is in her sexual prime, and she should go for it!” says Gallop. “The age issue is purely a societal judgment and is irrelevant. Younger man (lots of stamina, very short recovery period) + older woman (confidence, experience, knows what she wants) is a fantastic combination. And I speak as someone who knows.” A couple of pro tips from Gallop for older women who are dating younger men: “Number one: Apply the same filter to her dates that I do – regardless of how casual the relationship, he needs to be a very nice person. Number two: If she hasn’t been sexually active for a while, check out makelovenotporn.com. She should be aware of what she may encounter in younger men that’s been learned from porn, and how to talk about what she prefers in that context openly, honestly and lightheartedly.” On this week’s Savage Lovecast: How to be a professional but friendly unicorn.
