t17.FILM.
130
Woman's erotic presence as a pivotal necessity in art films and documentaries.
A secret stash of naughty silent films turned up in a Paris attic, and
producer Michel Reilhac knew he had to put them on the big screen.
Our great-grandparents were rather less
prudish than we might imagine. Decades before pornography became big business,
naughty French people were making dirty films for the fun of it. In The Good
Old Naughty Days, a collection of 12 silent films from the earliest years of
the 20th century, nuns, priests, teachers - even a dog - play out sexual
dramas in a wide variety of inventive positions, locations and logistical
arrangements...
t18.WOMEN ARTISTS OF THE WORLD
t1
ALISON LAPPER.
138
My Body Is Art!
It's been empty for 150 years. But this week it was announced that the
vacant fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square will be occupied by a 15ft-high
nude statue of a pregnant Alison Lapper. She talks to Hadley Freeman about
art, disability and notions of beauty.

CHEVSKA. 141
Can't
Wait (Letters R.L.), Andrew Mummery Gallery, London, United Kingdom.
Awaiting the visitor to her first solo show in London for almost three years
are two significant developments in Maria Chevska's work. The first is the
introduction of objects into the gallery space, objects that the viewer has
to negotiate and which act as both an aid and a restriction to reading her
paintings...
t19.ETIQUETTE. 142 AMERICAN NOUVELLE SOCIAL ELITE VERSUS THE INTERNATIONAL ELITE. Brief Analogy, differences and similarities.
t20.WOMEN
GENIUSES.
148
Mary Phelps Jacob
,
Inventor of the Bra Design. In
1913, the first modern brassiere to be awarded a patented was invented by a
New York socialite named Mary Phelps Jacob. Mary had just purchased a sheer
evening gown for one of her social events. At that time, the accepted
undergarments were corsets, stiffened with whaleback bones and steel rods.
Mary found that the "whalebone-spocked" out visibly around the plunging
neckline and under the sheer fabric, so with two silk hankerchiefs and some
pink ribbon, the first bra was invented.
t21.FAMILY & HEALTH. 155
t1.FAMILY, HEALTH, MARRIAGE, SEX AND AGING. 155 5-year mark key in marriages: Getting married? Count to five. Couples who make it to their fifth year of marriage are less likely to break up, figures from Statistics Canada indicate. "Before the first anniversary of marriage, there was less than one divorce for every 1,000 marriages in 2002,'' the agency said Tuesday. After the first anniversary, the divorce rate was 4.3 per 1,000 marriages. That went up to 18 per 1,000 after the second anniversary, 25 after the third and peaked at 25.7 after the fourth. After that, the risk of divorce decreased slowly for each additional year of marriage.

t1.Lyne
Tremblay is de facto, Canada's most sophisticated, elegant and captivating
cabaret Diva and "Femme Fatale".
157
Her voice is an explosion and implosion
of warmth, vocal virtuosity, seduction, truthful inner feelings and a magical
"Un Je Ne Sais Quoi?". You look at Lyne and the scent of a Parisian Diva of La
Belle Epoque or "Les Annees Folles" breath over you. You look at Lyne
Tremblay, and Montmartre, Les Grands Boulevards, the dialogues of Jean...

STARS AND LEGENDS.

t2.Wesla Whitfield made her own rules and enlarged the perimeter of performance excellence by sculpting an almost perfect sense of phrasing which magically and very tenderly reached the hearts and souls of multi-varied and demanding audiences. She brought to the traditional world of cabaret music, a very intimate, warm, pensive and personal musical and vocal interpretation which defied conventionalism. This delightful defying and charmingly innovative creativity is...
t23.ODDITIES AND CONTROVERSIES. 165
t1.Too
pretty and too sexy for Italian television. After decades of weather
bulletins presented by military colonels in full uniform, Italian television
got its first weather girls last September. But the outlook does not seem too
bright for the first to hit the airwaves, a former Miss Italy. She has already
run into trouble for being too sexy. Italian TV is infamous for its
scantily-clad girls, who are a regular feature - dancing, presenting or just
looking pretty - usually alongside a much older, less attractive male
presenter. But Eleonora Pedron, 21, proved there is such a thing as too sexy
for Italian TV when she was suspended for doing a rather raunchy magazine
spread in Capital magazine, sporting only a G-string.
t2.
HOWARD STERN VS. OPRAH.
167 T
he
American tabloid magazine reported that on March 18, millions of Americans
watched an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, during which an O, The
Oprah Magazine writer described in jawdropping detail, the latest fads in
teen sex. Viewers learned that a "tossed salad," had little to do with healthy
eating, but instead referred to oral sex to the anus. The guest went on to
describe "rainbow" parties -- gatherings at which a gaggle of lipstick-
wearing girls provide oral sex to one or more males. For this, declares shock
jock Howard Stern, 50, Oprah should come under the same scrutiny as he has
over his notoriously raunchy broadcasts. Since 1990, the Federal
Communications Commission has levied fines, totaling close to $2 million,
against Howard's show...

MALE ARTIST OF THE MONTH.

Daniel Iliescu. The esthetic serenity
invades the tumultuous and bursting emotions of this Romanian artist. Should
the transparent elegance of his form invades his complex intellect, Iliescu

visions, only known to his unrestrained inner cosmos. Iliescu's art is
intense. Yet, a flair of finesse camouflages this wondering temerity...

power and talent. Are these women perfect, loveable or simply tough-cookies?
Hottest and Most
Talented Women of the Year. (THE 66 MILLION DOLLAR WOMEN). Talent,
fame and not much education, class or enlightenment would suffice to make you
a millionaire actress. Some times, talent has nothing to do with how much an
actress deserves, should earn or profit from the box office. Luck is
primordial. Big names bring money to Hollywood and that’s...

WHAT'S
HAPPENING OUT THERE? Alexandra Kerry loomed out of the Cannes night
like a Magritte nude, leaving the paparazzi pondering; "Did she dress in the
dark? Was her postmodern take on visible panty line and Mister Magoo chic a
ghastly accident — like an errant trail of loo paper — or a cunning ploy to
lure lenses?". Whatever, it worked. "I have been labeled like I'm
this angry girl - I'm like, this rebel, I'm like, punk, and I am SO not any of
them...

"You
have one minute to impress, 30 seconds to catch the moment and just 3 seconds
to make a lasting impression." Once, wrote Maximillien de Lafayette in his
book on world protocol and etiquette. And how you can you impress by
catching the moment in less than 3 seconds without saying a word? Simple:
Dress to kill. Dress for Success! Be Elegant and Refined. Elegance is the key.
Remember, nowadays stars don't create fashion anymore as did the femmes
fatales of the golden era of Hollywood, thanks to Valentino...

came to London for good at the beginning of April 1934. He wanted to be
