The Secret Life of Richard Simmons

rsimmons.jpg - 11.84 K I have hair plugs! When I starved and lost 123 pounds, all my hair fell out. This is all a hair transplant. This is 1900 hair plugs!…I don't lie to people. I lost my nails. I lost protein. I had to wear a turban to keep them in place to grow. That reminds me of the Norma Desmond look.

Richard Simmons—quoted by Michael Musto in "La Dolce Musto"—The Village Voice, February 16



CLAGS: LBGT or LBGTST or LGBTQ

Can you say "LGBTST" 10 times quickly? If not, you'd better learn, or you'll be lost at the indoctrination sessions that CUNY's Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies (CLAGS) has planned for this semester. The topic of February 7's panel, held at Baruch College, was "Imagining the Future: Exploring the Agenda of the LGBTQ Movement." Q stands for "queer" here – it's unclear how queer differs from L, G, B, or T, if at all – but such are the vagaries of progressive nomenclature. LGBTST – another variant used at the conference – stands for "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two-Spirit, Transgendered." Apparently, "two-spirit" is Native American for queer. But don't get hooked on it, because as soon as you get it down, you'll have to accommodate the Zulu term for pederasty and the Maori word for tribade, or some such. But, hey, concessions must be made to the disenfranchised, even if it means that gay monikers are starting to look like German nouns.

Norah Vincent—"The Future of Queer: Wedded to Orthodoxy"-- Village Voice, February 22

The Food of Love
