Port of No Return Regarding Tara Murtha’s recent column about a weekend of violence in Port Richmond: Flash mobs in Center City, and now flash mobs in our neighborhood. People are going to become tired of it and someone, who will have a permit to carry, will shoot one or more of the invaders, and then there will be another problem. I think the Center City curfew should be in place throughout the city, especially now that school is back in session.

ANONYMOUS, via philadelphiaweekly.com I am not surprised about these little punks. I am 39 years old and in my day we were not as bad as them. Sure we drank and got in some trouble, but today the kids don’t respect themselves or old people.

Its a shame that Port Richmond got so bad, but it starts with the parents. Do your job mom and dad instead of sitting on your ass. We must not give up on them!

ANONYMOUS, via philadelphiaweekly.com Stop the hatred! Hate is a disease and neighbors must be vigilant and tolerant toward the causes of this hate. Bring back foot patrols and undercover cops and get to the root of the problems. Parents, why are your kids out after midnight drinking and hating! Parents, it’s 2 a.m. Do you know where your kids are?

RICH ADAMCZYK, via philadelphiaweekly.com I’m not going to address the race of anyone involved in the story because I don’t care about it either way. The problem seems to be that as a result of the curfew restrictions imposed in both Center City and University City, the teens are now congregating in specific locations in large numbers. While playground hours were extended, no shift in police personnel has been assigned to those areas. While it was bold and insightful for the gentleman to jot down the license plates, I wish he had done it a little more discreetly so that they didn’t realize he was doing it. It would have been safer for him that way. These guys were looking for trouble. That man should have felt safe in his own home. The police have to work harder in forming meaningful relationships with residents in every neighborhood.

Residents need to feel safe that their call will be answered.

ANONYMOUS, via philadelphiaweekly.com The kids from Kensington and North Philly have been robbing people after dark, jumping grade-schoolers for no reason and tagging/destroying property in Port Richmond for years now! The older residents watched Kensington degenerate from a workingclass ’hood into a post-apocalyptic nightmare while the city and the media turned a blind eye. Port Richmond can’t count on anyone to prevent this disease from trickling down to Richmond Street. We will not surrender to the madness quietly!

Hip-Hop Party Don’t Stop Regarding Michael Alan Goldberg’s article about a new political party aimed to take a seat on City Council: Every attempt at getting a third party into office is worth it, it just sucks he’s doing a write-in campaign. Those hardly ever work for anyone at all. They should’ve gotten in the game sooner and gotten the signatures needed to get on the ballot officially. It can’t be that high a threshold for a Council race, right?

The Philly GOP is still a mess, but maybe Karen Brown can help.

Down with Brown

Life of the party: The Loyal Opposition, a group of conservative rebels looking to out GOP leadership, is backing mayoral candidate Karen Brown.

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY September 28 - October 4, 2011 • 6

Now that it’s campaign season, the battle for the head of Philly may finally be kicking into gear. And that means the usual: Attack ads, lawn signs and letting bygones between former party foes be bygones.

Except that’s usually not the case here in Philly. At least for Republicans. For years, the “Loyal Opposition” sect of the Republican Party—a group of conservative rebels working to oust Republican City Committee leadership because of consistent ineptitude and side deals with local Democrats—has refused to support those candidates endorsed by the party elites. And it seemed this year would be no different.

See, the RCC made an 11th-hour power play to run a longtime Democrat and candidate for City Council, Karen Brown, for mayor when it seemed like Loyal Opposition libertarian John Featherman might go unopposed in the Republican primary for mayor. Featherman ran a tough campaign against Brown, even comparing her and the RCC to former Libyan president Muammar Gaddafi in a bizarre web commercial.

He also claimed during a debate on NBC10 that he would not support her in the general election “under any circumstances,” should she win the nomination.

But then she won. By 64 votes.

Featherman laid relatively low afterward.

And then suddenly, two weeks ago, there

he was, making enthusiastic calls on behalf of Karen Brown, announcing her intentions of walking a letter to City Hall challenging Nutter to a series of five debates in each corner of the city. So, why the sudden change of heart?

“I am not supporting Karen Brown,” says Featherman, a few days after Brown’s visit to City Hall. “And I am not endorsing her. I want to make that clear.”

Uh, what?

Featherman says he was encouraged to meet with Brown by his 5th Ward leader, Mike Cibik. “I originally wasn’t going to meet, but I don’t want to be a sore loser,” Featherman says. “And I have my own motivation for doing it.”

Featherman wants a party leadership role, he says, when his group finally takes the power away from Michael Meehan and Vito Canuso, who run the RCC. He not only believes the trek out of Sore Loserville will help him achieve that, but understands that when he does finally coach Republican candidates from the helms of the RCC, there’ll be plenty of candidates under his belt whom he doesn’t necessarily agree with, or like personally.

So, for the time being, “we’re on the same page,” he says of himself and Brown. “We both believe that everybody is much better off as long as there’s a debate.”

Hell, maybe Brown can be used to further

his and his coalition’s cause. “Brown can be the wedge that those in my group ... use to change the leadership at the top,” he says. “She will be the first to tell you she’s not satisfied with [current RCC leadership Michael] Meehan and [Vito] Canuso.”

And he’s not the only Republican to back Brown, even if the support is out of selfinterest.

“We’re big boys, and we lost,” says Mike Cibik, a leader of the Loyal Opposition.

“They won and that was the end of it. We’re not happy about [Brown] being a former Democrat … but it is what it is. I don’t want to say we’re stuck with her, but there she is.

And what the hell can I do?” “[Featherman] was a better candidate, but that being said, Karen Brown isn’t bad,” says Matt Wolfe, chair of the 27th Ward Republicans. “If the choice comes down to Karen Brown or Michael Nutter, it’s a nobrainer as far as I’m concerned. Anything I can do to be helpful to her, I’m going to try and do.”

Of course, not everyone in the party feels the same way.

Loyal Op founder Kevin Kelly thinks Brown is simply the face behind a backroom deal, just another tactic in the GOP playbook that involves running fake candidates (or none at all) for seats in which they’ve already promised the Democrats no opposition, in exchange for patronage jobs at the Philadelphia Parking Authority.

“I wish [her] no ill will ... Karen Brown is literally a warm body that they could get to fill a slot,” he says.

Brown, for her part, says her relationship with the RCC has crumbled, going so far as to cast herself as a rebellious outsider, “because neither party wants me.”

It probably has something to do with Council at-Large candidate Joe McColgan being floated as a replacement for Brown after she won the primary in May. “They wanted me to step down,” says Brown. “So I said to them, ‘Unless you got $25 million [in a payoff], it’s not gonna happen,’ and I knew they didn’t have that, so that’s why I threw that number out. They said, ‘How’d you come up with that number?’ I said, ‘$5 million for my staff, and $20 [million] for me.’

That was just my way of saying, ‘Forget it.’”

In all likelihood, though, Brown won’t win. Not that that will stop her from talking a big game throughout the fall. She says Philadelphians will relate to her better than they do to Nutter because of her family background. Specifically, that she had a father who had “to deal with a lot of outspoken women in his life, me being one of them and my mother being another. Unfortunately, Nutter doesn’t have anybody in his family [like] that.”

Featherman’s happy with such statements. “I told Karen … don’t be afraid to use your character. You know, act a little bit different … People like that kind of humor.”

“I will say one thing about her,” says Cibik. “She does have balls.” n

Tokin’ Females PhillyNORML gets a makeover.

In a loft across from the Electric Factory, a few dozen women sip wine, chat and nibble on crackers and mini cupcakes festooned with puffy swirls of white cream.

Diane Fornbacher invites everyone to bring their wine and settle in on a cozy maze of couches. It’s time to talk about what brought everyone here tonight: marijuana.

Tonight is the first official meeting of the Women’s Alliance of Philadelphia, a ladies-only club for those interested in drug-policy reform.

By Tara Murtha tmurtha@philadelphiaweekly.com

While pop culture has been connecting women and weed for a few years now— there’s Showtime’s Weeds, of course, and a smattering of articles in women’s glossies with titles like “Stiletto Stoners” and “Marijuana Moms”—the organized campaign to change drug laws has also been bringing women and weed together.

NORML spokesman Allen St. Pierre says the organization doesn’t have statistics, but that it’s “self-evident” that the group has been “far too white and far too male.”

To stoke diversity, NORML established the Women’s Alliance and a Sister to Sister mentorship program in collaboration with Students for a Sensible Drug Policy in 2009. (Alliances targeting minorities and the elderly are coming down the pipeline.)

So far, women are responding: St. Pierre says more than 14,000 women have signed up to a listserv set up just eight months ago.

“As you know, being women yourselves, you’re capable of great power,” says Fornbacher, vice chair of the national Women’s Alliance.

The 34-year-old Fornbacher is a bit of a cult hero in the movement: More than 200 people are official “Fans of Diane Fornbacher” on Facebook. A recent issue of the Canadian weed mag Skunk profiles Fornbacher in an eight-page spread that includes an interview and a full-page closeup of her face as she appears to be meditating. Floating above her face is a quote that begins: “I let my kids be the guidance.”

A core component of NORML’s new outreach strategy relies on appealing to

another friend of hers, too. “There were guns involved,” she says. “It’s difficult to be super subtle if you’re running that kind of operation.”

Social hour is interrupted. It’s time for the raffle. Up for auction is lip balm, perfume and a glass pipe.

Though the carefully set vibe of the Women’s Alliance is urban and modern, a little bit of the stoner chicks within slips out here and there.

“Every time we get together,” Cialini tells the group, with her hand over her heart. “When we leave, we feel love for one another.”

Before things wind down, Fornbacher reminds everyone that though exposing yourself to the public as a fan of the sweet leaf can be scary, there’s strength in numbers. If anything goes down, your girlfriends at the Women’s Alliance will have your back.

She pauses.

“Well, just be careful,” she says. “It’s hard to defend someone if your car has 10 pounds in it.” n

is inspired from events from last century.

“Women ended alcohol prohibition and we’re going to end marijuana prohibition,” says Carina Cialini, NORML activist visiting from New York. “It is the females that are going to do this. We need to work together.”

Annie, Andrea and Melissa are recent graduates of Temple University who say they’ve seen marijuana prohibition backfiring right before their eyes. They’re becoming drug-policy activists because many of their friends have been casualties -of the war on weed.

As the media recently reported, there’s been a spike in break-ins around both Drexel and Temple universities. Authorities say the robberies boil down to pot.

Basically, big-time neighborhood dealers

are rolling up on smaller-time, transient student dealers. The girls hadn’t read the article, but they say it’s true.

Annie, 22, says her friend was shot in his own house while sitting on the couch just last week. “He’s paralyzed from the waist down,” she says. “The drug laws are related to that.”

Andrea, 23, says it just happened to

women as caretakers. To do that, the group has repackaged its mission statement with female-friendly language that ironically could have been lifted right out of a conservative’s playbook: Women’s Alliance members believe marijuana prohibition “undermines the American family.”

“The point of us being here is that … we feel an injustice has been done to us by depriving us of our rights, arresting our children,” Fornbacher says. “Marijuana users are the most arrested drug consumers in this country.”

The strategy makes sense. Compared with men and black women, white women—who make up the majority of the room tonight—hardly get arrested for pot possession.

Locally, the gender disparity in arrests of women and men for marijuana possession is even bigger than the racial one. In the first seven months of 2011 in Philadelphia (latest data available on Pennsylvania’s Uniform Crime Reporting System), women account for less than 10 percent of all marijuana arrests. Through July, 227 women were popped for pot in Philadelphia; of those, 170 were black women and 55 were white. In the same time frame, 2,390 men were arrested. Of those, just under 20 percent were white: 390 compared with 1,984.

While the movement directly appeals to moms—the website points out that fewer kids would sell pot if it wasn’t on the black market—Fornbacher is the first to admit that for women, and moms especially, it ain’t always easy being for green.

“I am a mother of two children and my activism puts [my children] in … vulnerability,” she says. “There are some moms at PTA that won’t talk to me. I’m not going tto lie, it hurts my children. They don’t understand it.”

But the group is assured that not everyone has to be on the front lines and willing to put their names out there. “Silent supporters” can make friends and family aware. And the weed movement needs cookies and veggie plates, too.

Made to Change P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY September 28 - October 4, 2011

Introducing the artist formerly known as Steph Hayes.

By Tara Murtha tmurtha@philadelphiaweekly.com

I

t’s a hot summer night on South Street but it’s cool and dark inside Tritone bar, where the lineup is a rowdy variety showcase of GLBTQ acts. Musician Steph Hayes hangs out offstage, waiting to be introduced. It’s a bit of sly showmanship, really—everyone in this bawdy crowd already knows Steph.

In the years since first breaking out in the early 1990s with seminal Philly band Stargazer Lily, Hayes has graced almost every local stage and countless others across the country while playing in different projects: There’s the solo stuff, sometimes with back-up band the Good Problems, plucking bass with Chris Schutz and the Tourists, plus a regular gig singing back-up alongside Stargazer Lily co-founder Sue Rosetti for slide-guitar impresario Slo-Mo. Socially, a relaxed rock-star swagger and a chiseled porcelain face has long made Hayes a heartthrob to lesbians in this town.

But while almost everyone in Philadelphia knows Steph Hayes, it’s just now becoming common knowledge that for years, Hayes struggled with a secret burden.

The drum rolls theatrically. With all the gusto of a commenter calling a boxing match, the host announces, for one of the first times ever in public, the artist formerly known as Steph Hayes.

“Introducing Mr. Stephan Hayes! ” the host trills.

As Hayes starts to play, the physical changes from seven months of hormone replacement therapy are noticeable: The shape of his face has changed; its skin is rough. He’s broader and more muscular from a regimen of push-ups to build up pectoral muscles. In more ways than one, Stephan Hayes (pronouced Steph-in) is a new man.

The 37-year-old singer straps on his signature Guild acoustic with the blue-star-studded guitar strap and rips through catalogue favorite “Big, Big Dreams.”

“I live inside my head with the part of me that’s dead and my big, big dreams,” he sings. “I feel left out but I don’t want to come in.”

He careens through the song, throwing each line off like it might smother him if he didn’t.

His eyes close. “I can tell you a secret but it requires that we barter and I don’t know what you’ve got,” he sings. “It’s impossible to be me.”

The crowd whistles and hollers. When Hayes finishes singing, the host teases him.

“Honey, I thought you said, big dick dreams!”

Hayes laughs, grabs his crotch Michael Jackson-style and shouts back. “I have those too!”

A few nights after the Tritone show, Hayes is hanging

• 8

out where he’s been every Monday night all year: hosting open-mike night at the Grape Room in Manayunk. He’s off tonight, but decided to pop in to say goodbye to the staff and the regulars. If the show at Tritone was an introduction to the new Stephan, tonight is a goodbye, in a way, to the old Steph.

In a few days, he’ll undergo a mastectomy and recovery will take a full month. “It’s a bilateral mastectomy, double incision,” he explains, fingers sweeping across the front of his rib cage. “It actually looks pretty brutal, but I’m having a male sculpting done, [in which] they trim the nipples, and re-place them up higher.”

As Hayes and Majesta Bianco, his fiancee, hang out upstairs at the Grape, the music from newly minted musicians downstairs figuring out how to be on stage bleeds up through the floorboards. Like most professional performers, Hayes says he feels more comfortable on stage than anywhere else.

But off stage, he insists, he’s shy. Then he throws his hands in the air in mock exasperation and smiles. “No one believes me when I say that. I don’t know why. It’s true!”

Meanwhile, because he is a musician in the public eye, he’s had to talk to hundreds of people about an extremely personal issue. “There’s just no way for me to drift into anonymity with it, you know?”

I need to do this to live.’” from the music aspect, I knew Steph as a she.”

Whereas most kids can’t wait to grow up, Hayes dreaded it. He didn’t want to go to middle school. “I felt [middle school] was the differentiating zone. Like, ‘Now I have to go and be a girl, and this sucks.’”

In high school, he dated a couple of guys. But they were more like buddies.

“I really loved them, they were great guys. They were my best friends,” says Hayes. “It was just never going to go beyond a certain point because it’s just not who I was.”

Ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends have been on Hayes’ mind lately. He’s concerned about how they’ll feel when they find out what he’s doing or, to put it more accurately, who he really is. He’s also worried about his mom worrying about him. It’s all been hard on her, but Hayes gets that. “I don’t blame her one bit,” he says. “This whole thing is difficult for a mother, you lose control of a person that you put into the world.”

It seems there’s an endless stream of worrying about other people: He’s thinking about women with breast cancer who would love to have healthy breasts, other trans men who can’t save the money for the surgery. “I’m not worried about myself at all,” says Hayes. “It’s the easiest thing I’ve ever done. I’ll be unconscious. Unlike everything else I do in my life, it’s out of my control.”

It’s a couple days before major surgery, but Hayes says physical pain is the last thing on his mind.

“It’s emotional things,” he says.

Majesta touches his shoulder and asks him, “Isn’t that enough?”

Doctors know that testosterone thickens

Still, the transition period is “terrifying. I get really freaked out. I don’t have a backup plan necessarily. I work small jobs and I play music. I make my records. That’s what I do.”

“I [think], ‘I’m a singer. No, I’m not a singer, I need a job!’”

He laughs. “Oh shit, I gotta go to college!”

Hayes doesn’t have to worry about being fired from a day job, but as a musician, you can be fired from your audience.

“How’ll [transitioning] affect how I’m perceived?” wonders Hayes. “I spent up to 36 [years] in women’s music or being a women’s artist, whatever that means.”

On one hand, Hayes feels the transition may help his career, in that the songs will “make a little more sense.”

“I’ve always been frustrated because I’ve always written from a male point of view since I was a kid,” he says. “I had this character in my head that I was writing from … It took me a long time to realize it was me.”

No one knows how it will all play out, but his fiancee recognizes the potential for fan backlash. “In the lesbian community there sometimes is a problem with it. There’s a sense of, ‘OK so you’re becoming a strong woman. Why do you have to go identify as male? Why can’t you be comfortable

that celebrates and promotes lesbian musicians (and by extension, female musicians who don’t go out of their way to court the hetero-normative male gaze), it’s relatively small, and artists embraced by that community rarely cross over to a broader audience. A well-known lesbian artist recently interviewed for a forthcoming feature in a music magazine on gender discrimination in the music industry calls the division “soft homophobia.”

Hayes got an up-close glimpse of so-called soft homophobia during the Stargazer Lily’s heyday: Though Hayes being a lesbian didn’t dissuade Arista Records from signing the band in 2000, the suits demanded the band keep it a secret.

“We weren’t supposed to have anything to do with it other than that everyone that came to see our band play knew … I was never closeted for them.”

“They said, ‘We are not marketing a lesbian band.’ I was like, alright, now I know where I stand.”

The discrimination was just one part of an experience that Hayes took as a wake-up call.

“It was like taking the Elvis mask off and finding a cyborg underneath,” says Hayes. “All the rock stars being manipulated by the machine, and you thought they were the rebels of the world.”

In the end, the band dropped the deal and returned to Philadelphia vowing that if they were going to be “rock ’n’ roll idiots,” they’d be their own rock ’n’ roll idiots.

On the inside of his arm, Hayes has a tattoo of the slogan “l’art pour l’art.” It means “art for art’s sake.” “[It means that art] should be inspired, and come right from the source, and shouldn’t serve any purpose other than art,” says Hayes. “I kind of took it to heart.”

Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks Surely now that Stephen Malkmus has gotten that pesky Pavement reunion out of the way, he can play solo shows with his backing band the Jicks and not have to hear people shouting out for Pavement songs all night, right? Fat chance. However, here’s something: Malkmus has crafted at least as many good songs—with all the bizarre drawly vocals and craggy guitars and off-kilter-yet-addictive melodies—as Pavement ever did. Sacrilege? Search your heart.

Look past the indie-rock mythology. You know it’s true! Malkmus and company—sans longtime Jicks drummer Janet Weiss, who recently split for Wild Flag—will (hopefully) reaffirm that tonight. michael alaN GoldberG

Productions and Hella Fresh are joining forces and offering theatergoers 12 new, 10-minute plays, carefully selected out of nearly 500 submissions from around the world. This includes the play Porn for Women, about three women fighting over a greasy cheeseburger, and Rental Office, which tells the story of an unsuspecting schlub who gets caught up in a devious business while trying to rent a car. Each night, Walking Fish Theater will be presenting eight of these plays while you can catch the other four just a few blocks away over at Papermill Theater. Whether you’re in the mood for a thriller, comedy, drama or futuristic fantasy, you’re going to get a little bit of everything. And if you’re not feeling one play, all you have to do is wait nine minutes for the next one. Nicole FiNkbiNer

This isn’t just a film festival. It’s a chance to see new, undiscovered talent and maybe even get involved with their next production. The four-day fest is run by Project Twenty1, a Norristown nonprofit that strives to connect artists and filmmakers through film and animation in hopes of turning their passions into careers.

This festival attracts participants from all over the world. Opening day will focus on international short showcases—at least 15 of which are Philadelphia premieres. Unlike most major festivals, the selections are determined by an independent panel of more than 35 community screeners. This ensures that the films in the competition are looked at based on quality, not personal/political connections. Tonight they’ll screen Chasing the White Dragon, a portrayal of life in methamphetamine trafficking, followed by a Q&A with Director Kathilynn Phillips. An opening night party at Drinkers West will be open to All-Access Passholders.

Tracy Letts’ Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Awardwinning play is coming back to Philly with a stud cast of veteran, local actors. Epic in story and scale (the production boasts a cast of 13 that performs in a three-story house built upon the stage), this is the kind of show that most companies are afraid to try. Audience members sit at a table with the Westons on a hot summer night and witness all the heartbreak and humor that comes from a truly human work. The emotionally loaded play will get a distinct Philly vibe that comes from the previous collaborations of the actors, letting them share real bonds outside the world of the play and letting them fall more effectively into their roles as a far-less-than-happy family. rachel mcdevitt

If listening to classical opera music underneath the stars is irresistible to you, grab your picnic basket and blanket and head to Independence Mall for a free public simulcast of the Opera Company of Philadelphia’s opening night performance of Bizet’s Carmen.

Opera’s ultimate temptress, a beguiling gypsy, sets her sights on a naive, but passionate soldier in this tale of seduction, obsession and deadly betrayal. Israeli born Rinat Shaham, considered to be one of the greatest Carmens of all time, will perform the title role as she has to great acclaim in the U.S., Germany, Japan, Isreal, Portugal and Austrailia. David Pomeroy, Ailyn Perez, Jonathan Beyer, Eric Dubin and Tammy Coil round out the stellar cast. laura GoldmaN

Philly unplugged ip-hop is one of our culture’s most entertaining and lucrative art forms, yet old, ahem, traditional music aficionados claim it lacks “musicianship.” Well, it’s time to stop bitchin’. MTV recently approached veteran Philly wordsmith Hollowman to film an “Unplugged” event—an entirely acoustic performance. Shunning the full spotlight, in true PSP (Philly Support Philly) fashion, Hollowman expanded the lineup so that more of his talented colleagues could get some shine.

Come out and see Hollowman along with fellow notable hometown emcees Cyserro, Bump J (of Major Figgas), Quilly Millz, Young Sam, Stizz, Young Savage and more spit their flames backed by a live band at Philly Unplugged. If hip-hop isn’t your twist, some of the hottest R&B, spoken word and comedy acts in the city will also be on deck. Hosted by comedian Big Chuck, it’s sure to be iller than your average hip-hop show. ryaN k. smith

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Why is Tom’s Wife Smiling?

And the simple trick he used to help him perform like a 20 year old! Without drugs, pumps, or embarrassing doctor visits.

By, Stefan Rothler; Freelance Health Writer; If you’re like Tom, you know how frustrating it is when you can’t “Stand Up” for yourself. Especially in the bedroom! And even though your wife tells you “its okay”— she secretly wishes you weren’t such “a softy”. For your sake and hers.

Tom’s Story:

Tom M. had a big problem. His love-life was “coming up short”. And like a lot of men his age, he had a tough time “performing” in the bedroom.

But Tom’s wife was kind. She reassured him with words like “it’s no big deal”--- but it really was. So she urged him to get some help. He took her advice…

Tom searched the web for answers, and came up with nothing but scams. Everything he tried failed. He thought about asking his doctor about that well-known “little blue pill”.

But it was way too expensive (as much as $30.00 per tablet).

Plus, it doesn’t work for 32% of all men who try it. And according to its warning labels you could wind up deaf, blind, or even dead! It’s just not worth the risk.

The Secret of the Adult Film Industry

And by age 60, you’re left with a fraction of the HGH you used to have. The signs of aging become impossible to ignore... narrower shoulders and more weight around the middle... thinner skin that loses elasticity... creases and wrinkles... aching joints and brittle bones... all signs that your body is gradually breaking down.

Add to that, decreased desire and ability and a loss of muscle tone that leads to a dangerous loss of agility and balance. But none of this has to happen...

Secret of The Rich and Famous

Here’s How It Works:

In 1998, three scientists shared a Nobel Prize for discovering that the chemical compound nitric oxide (or NO) plays a vital role in widening your blood vessels so blood flows more freely... especially in the “intimate areas” of your body.

When you’re young, nitric oxide flows abundantly through your body. Unfortunately, as you grow older, your NO production starts to diminish. As a result, so does your love life.

That’s why Herbal Virility is so important.

Just pop a Herbal Virility into your mouth. Its proprietary formulation has no bitter taste and dissolves quickly into your bloodstream.

Herbal Virility contains all 25 of the most potent natural male enhancement boosters on earth. It helps kick-start

your body’s natural ability to produce nitric oxide on its own.

So you’re ready for action when you want it --- and as often as you want it. You’ll get a “big boost” of confidence in the bedroom. And your wife will be so excited she may wake up the neighbors!

Rave Reviews Coming in Everyday

Most men, who experience Herbal Virility’s firm results, can’t get enough of it. Here’s what people are saying...

W. Pritchett II of Newport News, VA, tells us; “After I turned 52, I couldn’t get it to work. I thought my fun was over. But now, thanks to Herbal Virility I can heat things up in the bedroom anytime I want to.” Please send me another 6 month supply!”

Melissa M. of Key Largo, FL reports; “Herbal Virility saved our marriage! What a difference it made in my husband. He’s like a new man! All I can say is WOW!”.

Not Available in Stores

The demand for Herbal Virility has been overwhelming.

And until now, there just wasn’t enough of it to go around.

That’s why the makers of Herbal Virility are limiting its supply to newspaper and magazine readers only.

Herbal Virility is amazing. Men who try it can’t seem to get enough. But to really understand why, you have to try it for yourself. That’s why the makers of Herbal Virility asked us to “spread the word” by offering our readers a full-month supply, at a super-discounted, “readers only” price.

Try Herbal Virility Risk-Free...

Plus a 1 Year, Money-Back Guarantee

See for yourself. You have a whole year to decide. Here’s our guarantee; “If Herbal Virility doesn’t give you back your desire, your stamina --- and get you “interested” whenever you need it --- you won’t have to pay a dime. You have a full year to make up your mind. Either you’re absolutely thrilled with Herbal Virility… or you get back every red cent!

Call in the Next 24 Hours Get $75.00 Worth of FREE GIFTS!

FAST ACTION BONUS #1; Call today and receive a FREE 30 day supply of “Andro Active”, the testosterone boosting pill that helps restore lost testosterone levels for more energy, muscle tone, focus, stamina and a whole lot more.

FAST ACTION BONUS #2; Get two FREE red-hot DVDs to help “motivate your performance.”

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY September 28 - October 4, 2011

As Tom continued his research, he came across something unusual. He read that male actors in the adult film industry use something called “Herbal Virility”. Before filming, the actors would pop one of these tiny pills in their mouth--- so when the director yells “action”- there’s always plenty of it!

It’s been the secret of adult film producers for years! That’s because instead of taking a full-hour for it to work, Herbal Virility starts giving you “solid, long-lasting results” almost immediately after you take it --- no waiting!

Tom was excited to try it. After all, Herbal Virility helped thousands of men get back their confidence in the bedroom.

And since its all-natural Herbal Virility is a lot safer than drugs.

There are no pumps to hassle with, no embarrassing doctor visits needed and it’s surprisingly affordable. Plus, it’s based on Nobel prize-winning research...

This is your gym.

Hana Pestle

D

unno about you, but I can’t hear so much as one note of a Sarah McLachlan song without instantly thinking about those SPCA animal cruelty commercials, and then I get depressed for days (even though I know she’s trying to do some good). So I’ve been looking for a new Sarah McLachlan to fill that massive musical void in my life, and I think I’ve found one in lovely Montana-born, 22-year-old singer-songwriter Hana Pestle. OK, it’s probably unfair to compare, but her voice and romantic melodrama are definitely McLachlanesque, with a smidgen of that gothy chick from Evanescence in there, too. Pestle’s wistful tunes are probably perfect for one of those Twilight soundtracks. At least they don’t make me think of dead dogs and cats. M.A.G.

True, it’s sometimes hard to tell, what with all the mixed signals she sends you. That come-hither croon in her gorgeous minimalist video for “Last Person” when she sings, “Why don’t you come home with me tonight?”

Just because all the hipster boys in the video have the same facial hair as you doesn’t mean she’s addressing you. Naming her current tour the “’Til We’re Black and Blue Tour”? Not an invitation for some rough play. Her Tumblr offer for complimentary high-fives at shows?

Just because you’re looking for an excuse for some skin-on-skin contact doesn’t mean she is. When adorableness is your shtick, wires are bound to get crossed. So be a good little fanboy and soak in the finely crafted tunes. It might not be as much fun as dating her, but you’ll probably still feel pretty damn good in the morning. JEFFREy bARG 8pm. $10.

If there’s one person out there who’s not suffering from writer’s block, it’s New York-based and English-born author Lee Child, who’s been cranking out a bestselling novel once a year since 1997. His debut, Killing Floor, has since evolved into a series starring military man Jack Reacher. Other works include New York Times bestsellers Persuader, The Enemy, One Shot and The Hard Way. The latest edition and current work-in-progress in the series, The Affair, takes place six months before the electrifying events of Killing Floor. The author will be on hand for a Q&A and book signing. TRISHULA PATEL 7.30pm. Free Library of Philadelphia, 1901 Vine St. 215.567.4341. freelibrary.org/authorevents

Pumpkin Beer Festival

Gardens & Villa

Grab a beer with Snoopy and the Gang at the Institute Bar’s third annual Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin Beer Festival. The Institute will continue a few festival traditions, like the first 10 people through the doors get a free bottle of Brew Works and the first 20 people to drink six pumpkin beers will receive a free pumpkin pie. The specialty menu includes pumpkininfused dishes and tons of pumpkin beers from brewers like Dogfish Head, Brew Works and Weyerbacher. If that’s not pumpkin enough for you, try a glass of G.W. Porter—it’s being tapped out of a giant, carved out pumpkin thanks to Yards Brewing. LINdSEy bELL

California quintet Gardens & Villa’s auspicious, eponymous debut album, issued by Secretly Canadian over the summer, frequently delivers some major wows: The moody, motorik dream-pop of “Black Hills”; the quasi-Prince slow-synth-funk of “Orange Blossom”; and the slick, atmospheric electro-grooves of “Star Fire Power,” which really should’ve played underneath Ryan Gosling’s nocturnal getaway scenes in Drive. G&V’s melodies are sweet and sinister in equal measure, and charismatic singer Chris Lynch isn’t afraid to unleash his ’80s androgycroon or his flute-playing—which feels less Jethro Tull than early Mercury Rev.

You’re Quite the Dish

Wild mushrooms on Toasted Sourdough at Sycamore

By Cristina Perachio feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

Why, thank you! I know we’ve got a wild reputation but we’re a real treat at Sycamore. Chef Sam Jacobson created my recipe based on a dish made while cooking in London. The original was fresh, sauteed porcini topped with a fried duck egg.

Tell us about your stateside makeover.

Jacobson wanted to use local mushrooms that vary throughout the season. Right now, he’s using chantrelle, lobster, royal trumpet and beech mushrooms. He replaced the fried duck egg with a sunny-side up, free-range chicken egg he buys from Green Meadows Farm in Gap, Pa. To finish, my sauteed goodness is set atop toasted sourdough bread from Le Bus.

How is the sourdough prepared?

Any tips for the at-home cook trying to recreate you?

Of course—the waitstaff says this is their favorite Sycamore meal to make at home for breakfast. Jacobson likes to use imported, higher quality mushrooms for flavor but says you can use good ol’ supermarket ’shrooms too.

Make sure you have enough butter or olive oil in the pan so the toast gets nice and golden and don’t turn the heat up too high: You want it crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. His last tip: A little extra butter is never enough.

Sycamore is a BYO. Any wine suggestions?

To tame my wild side, sip a sauvignon blanc. n

A Tail of Too Shitty

personal chef to a number of top players on the Redskins).

But perhaps that’s the problem: The cooking here is a bit too precious, too reliant on the alchemy of the open flame. The preparations I tasted often lacked that crucial scaffolding of abandon that characterizes the best examples of American grillery.

The “dueling ribs” appetizer came up short. So-called St. Louis Wuxi Asian ribs, pleasantly balanced between smoky and sweeter notes, was undermined by a minute or three too long on the heat, which resulted in tougher meat than necessary. Lemongrass, cilantro and ginger-kissed short ribs

By Brian Freedman bfreedman@philadelphiaweekly.com highlighted this particular appetizer, but those pleasures were quickly undermined by the acrid pacu-fish rib: The flesh acted like some kind of sponge for the smoke, and the result was like French kissing an ashtray. The complex marinade of mint, chervil and Son of a Peach ale was nowhere in evidence.

Crawfish macaroni and cheese failed for the opposite reason—it was devoid of much flavor at all. And in a place that pays homage to its supposed southern pedigree, a dull mac gratin is about as dissonant as a pubescent, never-been-inlove soul singer screeching out “You’re All I Need to Get By.” The crawfish on top actually detracted from the whole. Bland and mealy, these crustaceans were the icing on an altogether unfortunate cake.

Lamb sliders, their seam of gaminess well-cut by a sundriedcranberry aioli, fared better, as did crab cakes—as creamy and heartfelt as the mac was dull—with their crust of tangy kettle chips.

Osso bucco brulee also showed relatively well, though perhaps context was key here: its (perhaps too sweet) charred tomatoes overwhelmed, and its profile relied too heavily on sage. The ground veal inside too-thick ravioli skins could have used a bit more moisture, too. Still, this dish showed in spades what so much else here lacked: Heart. And that counts for a lot.

Special house-cured pork belly arrived as a crestfallen study in tans and earth tones, and the flavor followed suit. Aside from its pleasant rib-rub perfume, this pig was about as exciting as a concert featuring Michael Bolton singing alongside Kenny G. Lamb shoulder, too, was a curiosity: Sliced into careful petals, it was well-cooked, sure, but the cardamom, coriander and fresh orange juice it was treated to should have belted out their respective tunes with more volume and clarity. Garlicky parsnip-potato gratin in the center provided literal and figurative ballast, as well as excitement, but not quite enough.

Rum sauce and mascarpone cheese weren’t enough to lift a carrot cake from its dusty depths, but the fresh berry “mille feuille”—Grand Marnier pastry cream, lovely assorted berries, In baaad taste: Lamb sliders with sundried-cranberry aioli fared slightly better than the rest of the items on the menu. flaky pastry—provided much-needed life after the procession of odd quietude that preceded it.

Face-to-face: We finally get to meet Fess Elliot in Act III.

New Paradise Laboratories’ experimental theater production Extremely Public Displays of Privacy is innovative but somewhat taxing. Running online, on the streets of Philadelphia and in the lower depths of a top-secret Center City location, the show occurs in three distinctly different but connected acts.

All three installments in this strange and sometimes tedious adventure concern the relationship between Fess Elliot (Annie Enneking) and Beatrix Luff (embodied by Brittany Freece and given voice by Mary Tuomanen). Fess is 41 and married. She

once had a music career but abandoned it when she stormed off stage during a concert in 1991. Beatrix is half Fess’ age, born the same year when Fess last performed her music in public. The two met online, which is where we meet them both in the show’s virtual first act.

Experienced entirely online through various websites as well as Twitter and Facebook, Act I does little to peak our interest for the journey that lies ahead. Located at extremely publicdisplays.com, much of the show’s site is devoted to music videos depicting Fess at various stages of her life. The videos are basically home movies with a soundtrack of her songs, and reveal little about Fess other than her love of music. Beatrix is even more mysterious.

What we know about her is gleaned primarily through her website, mynightwithyou.com.

A seductress with a penchant for one-night stands (with men), Beatrix’s vaguely creepy site is dominated by images of death, including a quote from Richard Thompson that reads, “Let me ride on the wall of death one more time.” The most revealing section of Act I is a phone call between the two in which Beatrix gives Fess a number of assignments to complete before Beatrix will agree to meet in a face-to-face encounter.

It is these assignments that give form to Act II, in which Fess engages in a series of public displays staged in and around Rittenhouse Square. Via a free podcast, we can walk with Fess along her route as she follows instructions issued by the domineering Beatrix. Each of the seven video vignettes features Fess exposing herself in some manner. In one she swims in the fountain at Rittenhouse Square and in another disrobes completely in a side alley. “Exposure looks great on you,” Beatrix tells Fess as she scrambles to find something to cover her naked flesh. The voyeuristic experience is more curious than interesting and some audience members may begin to wonder if following the women’s relationship is worth all the effort.

The final act takes us fully into the physical world where we finally meet Fess face-toface. She’s handcuffed herself to a desk and the walls are covered in sheet metal. “I would have bolted otherwise,” Fess confides as she unlocks the handcuffs. She is there to play her songs for us. During the course of 70 minutes she also takes a bath, cuts a lemon and passes photos of her family among the small audience. Enneking has a terrific voice and while the folk-rock tunes are surprisingly good, our face-to-face encounter with Fess provides few answers. Is Beatrix romantically interested in Fess or just toying with her? There are suggestions that Beatrix may not even be real, but rather an expression of Fess’ unspoken desire to abandon her marriage and embrace her uninhibited, artistic self. Whatever Beatrix is or is not, she has unlocked Fess’ long dormant artistic side, and Enneking performs the songs with the passion of a woman rediscovering lost love.

Co-created by Freece and NPL artistic director Whit MacLaughlin (who directs the production), Extremely Public Displays is too cryptic for its own good. Jorge Cousineau’s video, sound and production design is impressive, but we never relate to the characters and the work fails to engage us on a visceral level. As an experimental work, however, the show raises interesting questions about identity, the future of theater and the nature of relationships in the virtual and physical world. n

Six Pack

Six Inconsistent Directors

Dark Humor 50/50 makes dying a laughing matter.

By Sean Burns sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com

By Matt Prigge mprigge@philadelphiaweekly.com John Ford: We’ve grown accustomed to the idea that a director is an artist, each film a carefully chiseled jewel. That’s a romanticized view, but if we’re talking the Golden Age of Hollywood, it also simply isn’t true. Most directors were craftsmen who had little artistic control and who, if they started in the silent era, cranked out dozens of films. Ford made 146 of them, and though several are masterpieces, several are clunkers, and the rest vary in quality. The same could be said of Capra, Borzage, Wellman, Cukor and many others. “Nobody watches the bad stuff,” a friend said. Although there are plenty of good, even great, ones nobody watches either.

Richard Fleischer: The son of animator Max

Fleischer worked all over the place: noirs (The Narrow Margin), boy’s pictures (The Vikings), fantasy (Conan the Destroyer) and calm portraits of serial killers (Compulsion). He could make the dreadful Doctor Dolittle, then the proto-Zodiac docudrama The Boston Strangler; the same year he contributed to the bloated war picture Tora! Tora! Tora! he made the chillingly intimate 10 Rillington Place. His films are great (Violent Saturday), awful (Red Sonja) and insane (Mandingo).

John Boorman: Somehow the Dave Clark 5

movie Catch Us If You Can, Deliverance, Zardoz, The Exorcist II, Hope and Glory and Where the Heart Is are all by the same person.

Spike Lee: There’s a price to pay for Spike Lee’s genius: In order to get to singularly great ideas he has to plow through many singularly awful ideas. Hence films like Jungle Fever, which are by turns brilliant stupid, acutely observed and reckless, and which could only be made by one person.

Clint Eastwood: A friend postulates the reason the 35 films directed by Eastwood vary violently in quality is because he simply can’t read scripts. That would explain The Eiger Sanction, The Gauntlet, The Rookie, True Crime, Space Cowboys and Hereafter—stupid films made tolerable, if at all, through hands that are always, no matter the content, sure.

to her recent, lip-smacking super-villain role in The Help. She’s a phony would-be artist in a go-nowhere relationship with GordonLevitt’s Adam, and initial arguments about bathroom etiquette are obviously no match for an impending cancer diagnosis. 50/50 falters hard in these opening reels, as a tougher, braver movie would have offered some empathy for Howard’s status. What do you do when a causal fling suddenly involves chemotherapy? When is it suddenly not socially acceptable to cut your losses and bolt?

To my great disappointment, 50/50 floors it right over this particular speed-bump and resigns the girlfriend role to that of a cheating, easily dismissible hussy. Sure, it’s great fun to watch best buddy Rogen employ all manners of exotic profanity, calling her out on transgressions. But it’s also way too easy.

The movie gets better as it goes along. Shy, withdrawn Adam, played quite close to the vest by the always dependable Gordon-Levitt, lacks an emotional output as he wrestles with life and death. Enter Anna Kendrick’s Hair today, gone tomorrow: Adam (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, left) gets through cancer novice therapist, Katherine. She’s fresh out with the support of his loudmouthed friend Kyle (Seth Rogen). of college and fumbling with her first patient in that hyper-attentive, Type A fashion that Dying young is no laughing matter.

Safety in Numbers Seth Rogen and Will Reiser discuss the real-life story that inspired 50/50.

By Sean Burns

sburns@philadelphiaweekly.com PW: Seth, this is the second movie you’ve made in the past few years in which you take care of somebody with cancer, but this particular character’s upward trajectory is pretty much the opposite of Funny People …

SR: When the guy comes out worse? I never thought of it quite like that, but it’s kind of true! Will, your original title for the movie was How I Learned Nothing From Cancer. Which was bullshit, because you’re so much less annoying now than you were before you had cancer. At the time you wrote the first draft, you didn’t have the perspective to see that you are much different than the way you were before.

Seth Rogen was in his early 20s and sitting on the toilet when his good friend Will Reiser called to say he’d been diagnosed with cancer. (“I never should’ve picked up the phone while I was taking a shit,” Rogen says.) At the time these two were co-workers on Sacha Baron Cohen’s already-legendary Da Ali G Show, but since then Reiser’s treatment and recovery became the basis for 50/50, a semi-autobiographical collaboration between the two longtime pals and one of this fall’s funniest, most unexpectedly moving comedies.

10,000 questions you would ask, if you were a gay Austrian journalist. We worked crazy hours. It was— to this day—the hardest job I’ve ever had. And Will was sick during that time. We didn’t know it was cancer but you could tell there was something physically wrong with him. Obviously we thought it was the job.

Sacha Baron Cohen worried: “We’re working this guy too hard; he’s deteriorating before our eyes!” I think Sacha was a little relieved when he found out Will had cancer; he’d thought it was his fault.

SR: I think he caught cancer because he worried so much.

WR: It’s OK to talk about your feelings sometimes.

SR: Which we didn’t do. But we were young, and I think if it were to happen now I would probably be more upfront about the actual emotional element. But … maybe not?

WR: Given where we were at that time, I just don’t think we were capable of dealing with it in that way.

WR: If we had just hugged all the time?

SR: It wouldn’t have helped. We’re comedy writ-

That was one of the reasons we wanted to make this movie. There probably have been movies made about young people with cancer, and they’re probably just fucking miserable.

Are you a fan of Harold and Maude but wish that its geriatric sparkplug was instead a young Manic Pixie Dream Girl? (After all, old-people sex is gross.) What about if Harold also hung out with the ghost of a WWII kamikaze pilot for some reason? Helmed by Gus Van Sant from a script by a friend of Bryce Dallas Howard (whose father coproduced), Restless is the school nerd that puts the “kick me” sign on him/herself. One doesn’t so baldly appropriate and misrepresent a film favorite without expecting a wedgie, and it can only be presumed that its director took the job because it had been more than a decade (since Finding Forrester) since he’d made anything so obviously lame.

Dennis Hopper’s young son Henry listlessly plays Enoch, an overcast loner who crashes funerals. He never fakes his own death, but his misadventures do run him afoul of Annabel (Mia Wasikowska, It Girl of Alice in Wonderland and Jane Eyre), a pixie-do’d eccentric with a brain tumor. Despite having three months to live, she’s a bundle of happy, not so much sticking her finger up at mortality as delusionally ignoring it. They shuffle through several powerfully cute montages of them being cute together, all while her killjoy sister (Schuyler Fisk) glowers. Cat Stevens, alas, does not litter the soundtrack, but one of the frail Elliot Smith-esque songs that does blatantly references another Van Sant work, assuring its hero that “it’s not your fault.”

It’s easy—really, really easy— to hate on Restless; perhaps I shouldn’t mention that the finale blasts the same Nico song that graced the finale of The Royal Tenenbaums. Instead, let’s list the few things it does right. Ace cinematographer Harris Savides keeps the look overcast and the locations drab—not hard to pull off in Portland, but commendable anyway.

It ably captures the feeling of two young outcasts in an uninspiring suburban locale creating a bubble.

Most important, Van Sant spent the previous decade on a tear, testing the extremes of mainstream experimental cinema. The man made Gerry and Paranoid Park. Out of appreciation, let’s simply agree to never speak of this again. n

Most of the production on this new badass disc of highly danceable cocaine jams is done by German beat-maker supreme Alexander Ridha aka Boys Noize. As such, Juwan gives himself over completely to the Euro dance grooves he’s only flirted with in the past. We’ve always appreciated Juwan’s dual nature—his fey defiance in the face of hip-hop’s clowninsh, blown-out version of masculinity living side by side with his ability to match any emcee brag for brag. It’s what allows him to, you know, dress like he does in the accompanying photo while rapping over glow-stick-required beats about pulling his dick out in the Sofitel. New Orleans sissy bounce queen Big Freedia guests on “Nasty,” which is appropriately nasty.

Santigold turns up on “Car Song,” which is appropriately great car-listening music. Elsewhere on the disc, “Baby” sees Juwan writing the best Prince song of the last three decades and Mark Ronson lends production help on “#1 Hit.” (Brian McManus)

Bleak rock and a lining flavored with candy-pop melodies.

There’s a middle-period Sonic Youth vibe. The vocals sound half-dead. All void. Blank faces. Not sure if it’s a nihilistic gaze, though. It’s pure. The highest stage of enlightenment. The message from nowhere. No gaze. Ripped trousers. Like, when Jandek said, “I looked at my clothes and they were all black.” There’s no frills and no flash. All this makes it difficult to connect with the songs, but how do you connect with nothing? I dunno. Ask Sartre. They play Kung Fu Necktie Saturday night. (E.S.)

P H I L A D E L P H I A W E E K LY September 28 - October 4, 2011

When you think of legendary stand-up comedians, names like Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Jerry Seinfeld, Lenny Bruce and Chris Rock come to mind. But how many of us could recite one of their jokes on the spot?

Best known for his bizarre nonsequiturs, superb oneliners, awkward stage presence, unconventional delivery and (ab)use of recreational drugs, Mitch Hedberg is arguably one of the most original comics the world has ever known. Even without ever quite reaching a mainstream audience, he continues to have a devoted fan base almost seven years after his tragic, untimely death.

As proof, more than a dozen local artists have come together to transform Hedberg’s comedic brilliance into actual works of art.

“I think the thing that makes Mitch a great subject for artwork is that his one-liner jokes are visual in nature,”

explains participating artist Adam Fergurson. “You actually can see what he’s talking about in your mind’s eye and that’s really what makes his brand of humor funny and unique.”

The exhibit, simply titled I Love Mitch Hedberg, will be unveiled on Saturday during what is sure to be a rather epic tribute event and comedy showcase. A lineup of comics from around the area have been invited to perform, including Phil Porter, who actually once shared a bill with Hedberg. There will also be a video presentation, unreleased footage of Hedberg from back in the day and a special appearance by his widow, Lynn Shawcroft, who helped organize the exhibit, along with friend Gavin Hecker, owner and manager of the Philadelphia Mausoleum of Contemporary Art. Though perhaps not surprising, many of the artists note that the comic’s strange and rather varied material allowed them to hone creative juices they wouldn’t normally utilize.

“Mitch Hedberg makes you think differently about the world while making you laugh, which is something to celebrate,” says Sophie Strachan, a participating mixed-media artist whose work will also be on display.

For the show, Strachan designed a poster making a subtle reference to one of her favorite Hedberg quips: “On a traffic light, green means go and yellow means yield, but on a banana it’s just the opposite. Green means hold on, yellow means go ahead, and red means where did you get that banana?”

“Before this joke, the connection between a traffic light and a banana would not have occurred to me,” Strachan says. “Sometimes life needs absurdity and Hedberg gave us that.”

Fellow exhibiting artist Dana Osburn opted to probe even deeper into this absurdity with an animation featuring an Oprah Winfrey puppet enacting various lines from Hedberg’s standup.

“Hedberg, for me, represents everything that is so distinctively indistinct about the ’90s and early 2000s,” she says.

On the event’s Facebook page, Shawcroft recently wrote: “I believe Mitch’s legacy is his art—his beautiful words and jokes. I also hope that his legacy is to inspire art.”

In many ways, the exhibit can be considered a tribute to all comedians who, more often than not, go under appreciated as artists and performers, both alive and in death. n

Where Men Meet Men

SavageLove

By Dan Savage mail@savagelove.net

I am a 23-year-old female, sexually active for seven years, and I can’t reach climax. I am extremely frustrated. I have a wonderfully patient and helpful partner. He has tried hard to no avail. I can’t even get myself there. I feel like I am broken. My partner and I try different things, but no matter what the situation, I can never reach orgasm. When I went off birth control, I brought up to my doctor that I had never had an orgasm, and she told me that female orgasms are largely a mental thing. She suggested I try using fantasy, which was not new to me. Other than this, my partner and I have a healthy sex life. I don’t know what to do from here. I start to wonder if there is something wrong with me.

Frustrated Annoyed Person “FAP certainly shouldn’t feel bad that she doesn’t have a handle on a phenomenon that even sex researchers don’t properly understand,” said Tracy Clark-Flory, who writes informed, fascinating and sometimes hilarious pieces about sex, dating and relationships for Salon.com. “In fact, she might be relieved to learn that scientists of all stripes have been struggling for decades to determine why the female orgasm even exists in the first place.”

You might also be relieved to learn about one theory that’s making the rounds, FAP, or … you might not.

“It’s called the ‘byproduct’ theory,” says ClarkFlory, “and it might help make FAP feel less broken.”

Here comes da science: “Evolutionary selection has hugely favored the male orgasm, for obvious reasons,” explains ClarkFlory, the most obvious being that males who can’t come aren’t going to have many descendants. “The byproduct theory goes that since females share the same embryological origins of pleasure-friendly nerves and tissues as males, women are physically capable of climaxing as well. In this view, the female orgasm is an evolutionary hand-me-down— or, more cynically, lukewarm leftovers.”

In other words …

Every little zygote, so beloved by the GOP base, has all the basic parts needed to build either a male or a female baby who, once born, the GOP base could not care less about. Blasts of hormones transform those pleasure-friendly nerves and tissues into either boy junk or girl junk.

Backers of the byproduct theory believe that women are capable of having orgasms not because women need to have orgasms, but because female junk is built from the same component parts as male junk. Women can have orgasms because men must.

“At first, I found this theory terribly off-putting,” says Clark-Flory, “but I would encourage FAP to think about it differently, as I eventually did.”

Viewing the female orgasm as an “evolutionary freebie,” Clark-Flory continues, “can actually validate the vast range of women’s orgasmic experiences, as Elisabeth Lloyd, author of The Case of the Female Orgasm, has argued. This means a multiorgasmic woman is just as ‘normal’ as an orgasmless one, a lady who comes from a single flick of the finger is just as ‘healthy’ as one who requires 45 minutes with her Hitachi Magic Wand set on high.”

So you’re not “broken,” FAP, even if you’re not orgasmic.

Clark-Flory doesn’t think you should give up all hopes of ever experiencing an orgasm—nor do I!—but she thinks you should stop trying so hard and stressing so much.

“When women have a difficult time getting there, it can be helpful to take the finish line away,” says Clark-Flory. “At the risk of sounding woo-woo, I would suggest that she slow down and focus on feeling individual sensations. She’ll be most likely to come when she forgets her worries about all that she isn’t feeling and simply enjoys what she does feel.”

CONFIDENTIAL TO EVERYONE: Jamey Rodemeyer—a 14-year-old kid growing up in Buffalo, N.Y.—loved Lady Gaga, most of his friends were girls, and he had feminine mannerisms. And for that, he was subjected to daily and often brutal bullying since he was in the fifth grade.

Last week, Jamey took his own life.

“All the girls just loved him and they always defended him,” Jamey’s mother told CBS News.

“But all the boys would say, ‘Geez, you’re such a girl. Why are you hanging out with all those girls?

What are you, a girl? Oh, you must be gay.’”

For those sins—the sin of hanging out with girls, the sin of loving Lady Gaga, the sin of not being exactly like all the other boys—Jamey had to endure taunts like this one: “I wouldn’t care if you died. No one would. So just do it :) It would make everyone WAY more happier!”

“The bullies are still walking around,” Jamey’s grieving mother told CBS. “They get to wake up tomorrow and go to school and see all their friends, but my son will not be given a second chance.”

Then there’s this detail from the Buffalo News: “Last September, the It Gets Better Project was launched online as a place for adults [to] reassure troubled and potentially suicidal lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth that despite the taunting, bullying, and physical abuse they face as adolescents and teens, life improves after high school. In May of 2011, Jamey posted [a] YouTube video with the description ‘Jamey From Buffalo, New York telling you, IT GETS BETTER!’” The It Gets Better Project was created to give bullied and despairing LGBT kids hope for their future.

But sometimes hope isn’t enough. Sometimes the damage done by hate and haters is simply too great.

Sometimes the future seems too remote. And those are the times that we all feel despair.

Watching Jamey’s It Gets Better video in the wake of his suicide is indescribably heartbreaking.

We know now that Jamey was in pain when he made his video. But he was reaching out and trying to help other kids who were suffering.

We can best honor his memory by following his example.

As I’ve said since launching the It Gets Better Project in this space a year ago, nothing about participating in the IGBP excuses or precludes us—the adults among us—from doing more. The videos have helped and continue to help; we’ve heard from thousands of kids and their parents over the last 12 months. Countless LGBT kids have told us that the IGBP provided them with the hope, moral support, insight and practical referrals to services that they needed to persevere.

But we can do more. We can press for the passage of the Student Non-Discrimination Act, we can fight to get anti-bullying programs that address anti-LGBT bullying into the schools, we can support GLSEN and its efforts to get GSAs into every public middle and high school, we can support the Trevor Project and the crucial work it does.

And we can—we must—confront the bigots who are making it worse for kids like Jamey. Whether the bigots are stalking the halls of our schools, running their mouths on cable news or running for president—the bigots must be confronted and held accountable for the lives they’re destroying.

ABC News reported there may be some accountability in Jamey’s case: “The Amherst Police Department’s Special Victims Unit has said it will determine whether to charge some students with harassment, cyber-harassment, or hate crimes.

Police said three students in particular might have been involved.”

Harassment and cyber-harassment don’t become crimes only after the target commits suicide.

They’re crimes, period, and they should be investigated and prosecuted before a grieving family has to bury a child, not after.

Jamey’s parents have asked that donations be made in his memory to Crisis Services (crisisservices.org). Please donate. And then find something else you can do and go do it. Then do more. n
