Celia Putty
“And They Call it
Putty Love”
by Deon Brown
26 www.IONAZ.com May 2010
26 www.IONAZ.com September 2010
F
or longtime drag enthusiasts it’s
hard to believe that it’s been ten long,
dreary years since the comic genius
that was Miss Celia McGillicuddy Putty
disappeared one night, slipping into the
inky depths of the Arizona Grand Canal
without a trace. The Phoenix nightclub
stages lost one of the truly creative –
and a little bit goofy – performers who
shaped Phoenix’ “Golden Age of Drag”
in the late 1980s.
Miraculously, as legend would have it,
Celia Putty was discovered
just a few months ago,
having been sold
into White Slavery
somewhere in the
mystic Orient for
the past decade.
That’s what the
press releases
say.
Thanks to
man inside the
pantyhose, Richie
Black – Putty’s back!
Glamorous, glorious and
girdled up good, Celia’s spent
hours honing her skills: lips synching,
dancing, rehearsing, and backcombing
wigs, ready to “wow” a hungry
audience. Putty’s here to stay. And
better than ever!
A colorful conversation with the
crackpot comedian revealed a
sensitive side of the dewy-eyed star –
remarkably youthful in appearance; an
ingenue once again, and raring to go.
“I’m really excited and a little bit
nervous,” Richie confessed. “I’m a
married homebody now. I’m needed a
creative outlet and Putty is a vehicle
for that. Right now, drag is exploding in
the house!” Black expressed his delight
being able to order some things online,
not like the “old days,” when you had to
drive and try things on in the store.
After a brief –let’s say – “career
derailment,” why did it take a decade
to get Miss Putty back? “I always left
the door open,” Richie explained.
“That’s why I never completely killed
her off, like it was reported. She just
disappeared. I’ve had offers to bring
her back through the years.
Barbra Seville has asked
me before. This year –
for a lot of reasons
– it was time.”
Philosophically,
Richie added,
“There’s some
symbolism in it for
me, too.”
Veterans
remember when
Putty and her
sidekick Barbra Seville
were budding starlets
and took the stage by storm.
Those introduced to Putty will love
her comedy and anything-for-a-laugh
onstage antics.
“Once I decided to bring her back to
life, it was like adding water to a Chia
Pet,” Richie laughs enthusiastically.
Come see what all the fuss is about!
Celia Putty makes her debut redux
with cohort Barbra Seville on Saturday,
September 18 at Forbidden Showroom.
She’ll attend the Golden Wig Head
Awards at Palazzo on Tuesday,
September 21 and perform again on
Sunday, September 26 at Apollo’s.

Yo, DJ!
What’s New?
In addition to these great finds, check
out new albums from Papa Roach, Lyfe
Jennings, Sara Bareilles, Interpol, Linkin
Park, Kenny Chesney, Jimmy Eat World,
Michelle Branch, Weezer, Armin Van Buuren,
Mark Ronson, Paula Cole and Maroon 5!
Robyn
Body Talk Pt. 2
Robyn’s quest for a
trifecta is two-thirds
complete with this
brilliant release of Body
Talk 2. “Hang With Me,”
shines in its ode to
“Dancing on my Own”
and “Every Heartbeat”
kills with its emotional yet effervescent beat.
This set also gets amazing support from the
robotic, electro, floor filler “Criminal Intent”
as well as the Kelly Rowland-esque dance
anthem “Love Kills.” And then there’s the
strange but workable collaboration with
Snoop Dogg “U Should Know Better.” It
sounds like oil and water, but ends up more
like tea and honey. In all, this is one album
you need to get now!
Brandon Flowers
Flamingo
They made a name for
themselves by saying
your boyfriend looks
like a girlfriend and
now with the Killers
on hiatus, Brandon
Flowers is ready to go
Stefani on us. Though
the tracks were originally written for the
group, they work very well as a stand-alone.
“Crossfire,” the first single has one of the
catchiest piano riffs to come out in years. It’s
melodic, purposeful and has a Keane-like
vibe. Flamingo also gets great help from the
collaboration with Rilo Kiley’s lead on “Hard
Enough” as well as the rock-tinged offerings
of “Jilted Lovers” and “Broken Hearts.” And
there’s the song that wins on its name –
“Welcome to the Fabulous Las Vegas.”
Katie Melua
The House
For something different,
check out Katie’s 180
degree turn of tunes.
Produced by the beloved
William Orbit, Katie
takes her rich voice and
creates an album that is
atmospheric, romantic
and very workably eerie. Think of this as a
Norah Jones on drugs with a soft electric
feel only Orbit can produce. Tracks of note
include “The Flood” with its ethereal, moving
and sweeping notion as well as “Moment
of Madness” and its Broadway ode to the
musical Chicago. And there’s the trippy
“Happy Place,” a song that sounds like it
came right out of a Tim Burton film.
Underworld
Barking
The group most famous
for their 90’s techno
masterpiece, “Born
Slippy” is back with
their best offering in
a decade. Barking
takes the group back
to their original sound
and gives fans a taste of what made them a
household name. Lead single “Scribble” is
soft yet driven with its drum and bass feel all
while resonating with a commercial hook that
screams simple but majestic. Other songs of
note include the Paul Van Dyk collaboration,
“Diamond Jigsaw” and Dubfire’s “Bird1.”
The only track not featuring a guest spot is
the last of nine tracks called “Louisiana.” It’s
great to see a group still making relevant
music after 30 years.

“Saving Tania’s
Privates”
by Deon Brown

www.IONAZ.com September
May 2010 2010
I
n 1992, Tania Katan received her first
diagnosis of breast cancer and underwent
a radical mastectomy. The cancer migrated
and attacked her remaining breast in
2002. An eternal optimist, Katan wrote the
memoir, My One Night Stand With Cancer
(2005, Alyson Books), a poignant, funny,
philosophical look at life as a Lesbian. With
breast cancer. And living to tell the tale.
has a theatrical arc, that hits all these notes
– one that’s funny, that captures the drama
of the whole experience. I’m acting. When
I work with my director, we work with the
reality of each scene. I find that being in a
situation that’s really life or death wasn’t as
helpful as having a sense of humor in the
creative realm of looking at things that were
going to happen.”
Now, Katan adapted her book into a onewoman show and received rave
reviews, performing in
Edinburgh, Scotland
and in Seattle,
Washington. She
brings this show
back home to
Phoenix, where
it all started,
and she’ll
perform at
the Phoenix
Theatre’s Little
Theatre. “It’s
about dating
and losing boobs.
And some stuff in
between,” Tania said.
But serious illness transcends sexual
orientation and gender. “There’s a
perception within a straight audience
that Lesbians have it easier
because our partners will
‘understand’ because
women are all caring and
stuff, but the reality of
getting breast cancer
or any illness that
causes you to have a
part removed that’s
connected to sexuality
is that partners,
husbands, wives, are
uncomfortable with it, or
okay with it, regardless of
sexual orientation.”
Always ready with a quick
quip, we asked Tania if anything
about breast cancer was funny for her. “I
don’t think of the elements as being funny,
as much as being absurd,” she explained.
“It’s the absurdity of illness. When I had my
second breast removed, the the surgeon
had me mark on a figure on a piece of paper
which breast would be removed – on a little
stick figure. Since I only had one breast
I drew a little arrow to the left breast and
wrote, ‘Repeat performance.’ The chances
of them getting it right was pretty easy.”
Katan condensed her 288 page book into a
script for an audience but the story is still the
same: a young woman – who just happens
to be Lesbian – with breast cancer. “I’ve
written a complete play with an audience in
mind. I work with a director, a dramaturge so
that we can craft a story that makes sense,
Does she miss her breasts?
“Gosh, when I had one breast, for
a long time I sort of missed having two.
When I had the second one removed it was
sort of this ‘clean slate’ situation. But, no,
I haven’t thought about my boobies for a
long time. I feel symmetrical again. I don’t
think about my breasts, I think about other
peoples’ breasts.”
Tania’s show features, “Gay people, me
singing poorly, and doctors missing veins.
And some dancing girls. And by dancing
girls, I mean me. And cancer. What more do
you need?”
You can’t “catch” breast cancer, but you can
catch Tania Katan’s brilliant “Saving Tania’s
Privates” at the Little Theatre at Phoenix
Theatre at 100 E. McDowell Rd. Sept. -Oct.

H
ere at ION Arizona, we’re
constantly amazed and surprised with
the ingenuity and flair that members
of our local GLBTQ community exhibit
when presented with a challenge or
an opportunity. You never know what
seeds will fall on fertile ground.
This past July, ION presented readers
with the opportunity to enter the first
ever “Queer of the
Year” contest held in
beautiful Montréal,
Canda. This pageant
was sponsored in part
by Tourisme Montréal,
the Greater Montréal
Convention and
Tourism Bureau, GAY.
com, Fierté Montréal
Pride.
Out of hundreds of
applicants, the field
was narrowed down
to twenty who were
interviewed by judges
for their Personality,
Talent, Healthy
Lifestyle, Sex Appeal, Creativity,
Showmanship, Fab Factor, Smarts,
Social Media Popularity, Background,
and a Sense of Community in a
search for the Brightest Star under
the Rainbow, to find out who’s got
the sass, the class, and the brass
to named “Queer of the Year 2010.”
The story all played out on www.
QueerOfTheYearContest.com
ION printed an encouragement for
local favorite Nathan Gilligan to enter
the contest, and he bit. The prospect
of being cast in a reality show can be
intimidating. Nathan reflected, “I was
totally not going to apply for what I now
call a mixture of Sex In The City meets
the Gay Real World, but I did.”
The top five finalists competed in
Montréal during their Pride week,
August 9-16. A film crew followed them
as they took part in all kinds of crazy
activities – a car wash, a gourmet cookoff, a drag show, a photo shoot and an
urban triathlon. Viewers
voted for their favorite
contestants online, while
Nathan’s fans – Team
Gilligan – watched to
see how our hometown
boy performed.
Nathan won the
Cook-Off, he blew
their dresses up over
their wigs in the Drag
Challenge and place
third in the Photoshoot.
Finally, Phoenix’s
Favorite Son came in
Second Place.
We spoke to Nathan
about his experience
in the beautiful city of Montréal and his
performance in QOTY.
“Montréal is a city that stands out.
I mean, name a city that you know
for sure finds pride in making sure
the entire city somehow involves
themselves as well as their entire
family – both Gay and Straight alike,”
Nathan explained. “In most cities,
the Rainbow flag is flown only for the
weekend, but Montréal makes sure
education, community involvement, and
acceptance are respected values as a
part of the city’s understood ‘code of
ethics’ and can proudly fly Rainbows

24/7/365 without shame. So, to choose
my favorite thing about Montréal is like
asking me to eat just one Oreo; it just
can’t happen,” Nathan said laughingly.
“The GLBT community is so freeflowing and very much into the
concept educating the future –the
youth – not to hate. I love this! Now, if
only us Americans started educating
our children, maybe generations
to come can change the negative
thought process toward members of
the GLBTQ community by learning
to accept people just as they are:
human.”
We asked Nathan what gifts he
brought to the table for the QOTY
competition. “Myself! After all ‘Nathan’
means ‘a gift from God’ and I know us
Americans always forget the receipt
of purchase when trying to return
something. So, you’re stuck with
me and, no, you can’t have in-store
credit. All kidding aside, I brought an
educated, humorous way to express
myself. I brought big smiles, over-thetop screams and a personality that’s
unmatched. I think it’s because I’m
100% original, Illinois-grown, USDA
Choice. The Surgeon General warns
I’m highly addictive,” he added with a
wink.
Although the handsome Sean Horlor,
a Canadian from Vancouver, won the
Queer of the Year contest and the title,
our Gilligan is the Queer of the Year
stateside.
“ION Arizona made this possible by
sowing the seed and now look at
me! I’m the #1 QUEER IN THE USA,
BABY! Heck, after you say it a few
times its feels good! ‘Nathan Gilligan:
Queer of America!’ Never should we
forget to build our GLBT community
up, so stop the homo-to-homo hate!
I’m NOH8 N8! ‘Americas Top Queer!’”

Movie Previews
Last month, I waxed poetic about the artistic
potential of Eat, Pray, Love because I
foolishly assumed that combining Elizabeth
Gilbert’s best-selling novel with the star
appeal of Julia Roberts would have struck
cinematic gold. I was wrong. Boy, was I
ever wrong! In fact, it has been a very long
time indeed since I’ve gone to a movie and
promptly made a beeline to the nearest dive
bar to down seventeen shots of Southern
Comfort, but that’s what Eat, Pray, Love did
to me – it made me drink, pass out, suppress.
That’s the rub about
doing movie previews.
If the section title
didn’t clue you in,
let me explain:
your guess on
the potential
of these films
is as good as
mine – I’ve
not seen them
either. At least,
not by the time
this article goes to
print. All I’m doing is
digging through my triviawinning/date-losing knowledge
of film and coming up with an
educated guess. Given that I’m
human, I’m prone to err. Toss in
a very biased love (or hate) of a
particular variable in the film du
jour and I’m probably a lot more
likely to err. So now that you know, I’d
like to apologize to every single reader
(all three of you) if you took my terrible,
terrible advice and saw Eat, Pray, Love.
If I hadn’t blown all my money on my post
viewing bender, I’d personally refund you.
Going the Distance
Starring: Drew Barrymore, Justin Long,
Christina Applegate, Charlie Day, Jason
Sudeikis
Let me kick this off by saying I like Drew
Barrymore – a lot. I think she’s a cutie
patootie, but I’m also well-aware of the fact
that when it comes to her film choices, it’s
hit or miss. Usually miss. In the latest RomCom staring Drew-Bar, Going the Distance,
she stars as Erin, a San Franciscan, who
meets Garrett (Long), while in New York for
the summer. Hitting it off immediately but
ever-cognizant of their home bases, they
agree to have a no-strings-attached fling
and go their separate ways come fall. Easier
said than done; the two end up constantly
communicating with one another and begin
to realize that maybe their short story
is really a novel. Jason Sudeikis
(The Daily Show), Charlie Day (It’s
Always Sunny in Philadelphia), and
Christina Applegate (Samantha
Who?) co-star.
I’m Still Here
Starring: Joaquin Phoenix
Casey Affleck, the legitimately
talented Affleck brother, makes
his directorial debut with
this documentary film
depicting one year in the
life of Academy Award
winning actor, Joaquin
Phoenix. No doubt, you
remember Phoenix’s
bizarre appearance
on The Tonight Show
with Jay Leno a few
years back where he
mubbled nonsensically through
a Mountain Man’s beard and hid behind
a pair of oversized sunglasses he most
likely stole from one of the Olsen Twins. Or
you’ll remember his unceremonious exit
from cinema in order to pursue a music
career – as a Hip-Hop artist. I’m Still Here
follows Phoenix from the Fall of 2008 as he
attempts to reinvent himself and does so in a
remarkably touching way.

DVD Movie Review
Say Goodnight
Starring: Rob Benedict, Christopher
Gessner, David Monahan, Aaron Paul
One night, four guy friends are hanging out
at their favorite hot-spot in their usual quest
for willing ladies when the conversation turns
to the most recent dating
experiences of three
of them, as relayed
to their fourth
member who
happened
to leave
early the
night that
the others
met the
women in
question.
Told in
flashback,
Say
Goodnight, is
an interesting
glimpse into how
three different men
choose to handle the
romantic opportunities that
simultaneously fall into
their laps. There’s your
typical self-serving Jersey
Shore housemate, Victor
(Paul, Breaking Bad),
who takes up with sexuallyuninhibited Crystal (Carly
Pope); the commitmentphobic
Mason (Gessner), who tentatively
dates no muss, no fuss Angela (Smith Cho);
and, mildly neurotic nerd Leroy (Benedict)
who embarks on a long-term relationship
with talented spitfire, Lily (Shannon Lucio).
As each story unfolds, it is interesting to note
the manner in which each man handles his
respective relationship, and how he chooses
to view it in hindsight.
Patrik Age 1.5
Starring: Gustaf Skarsgard, Torkel
Petersson, Thomas Ljungman
In this beautiful Swedish film, Goran
(Skarsgard) and Sven (Petersson), are a
married gay couple seeking to expand their
family. Shortly after moving into their idyllic
suburban home, they make arrangements
to adopt an eighteen-month-old boy
named Patrik. Ecstatic about this
new addition to their unique
home (Sven has a 16 year-old
daughter from his previous
marriage), they quickly learn
that Patrik is not a teething
1.5 year-old – he’s a 15-yearold whose cut his teeth doing
time. The stress, confusion,
and frustration Goran and
Sven go through to both clarify
and rectify the situation only
serve to drive a wedge between
them. In Sven’s absence, Goran
allows Patrik to stay on until he can
find a new “ordinary” family. It
is then the most unexpected
happens – Goran and Patrik
develop a loving connection
when they help each other
find that which they’ve
always been seeking –
family and acceptance.
I cannot even begin to
articulate just how lovely this
film was – from beginning to end,
it’s a wonderful foreign-language film
that resonated deeply with me. Like the blue
cake that Goran, a doctor, shares with his
staff during tea, it is what I love about film –
little slices of life fraught with meaning; tiny
gestures filled with humanity; and, tender
moments ripe with kindness, compassion,
and beauty. I strongly recommend everyone
see this film – you will be better for it.

Macayo’s
Mexican Restaurant
A Valley Tradition in the Heart of our Community
I
t’s easy to discard a Valley staple
as being as an also-ran, part of the
landscape, or old hat. Or old sombrero,
in this case. Veteran Mexican food
restaurant Macayo’s dot the Mexican
dining landscape in Arizona. There’s
eleven here in the Valley, two in Tucson.
one in Prescott, and even four Nevada.
It might seem trite, but Macayo’s can still
surprise.
Macayo’s began way back in 1946 in
a tiny shop on McDowell Road. The
present-day kitschy Mayan-esque
“pryramid” on Central Avenue south
of Indian School Road has been the
flagship store since 1952.
Pick from three different chimichanga
dinners: huge, – and I mean huge –
crispy flour tortillas filled with variations
of tender shredded beef, savory chicken
or carnitas, and smothered with choice
sauces. Make ‘em into a “grande”
dinner, adding rice, refried beans, sauce
and guacamole for less than $3 more.
Macayo’s also offers traditional grilled
taco, fish taco, and even salmon
tacos, if that’s what you crave. Craving
fajitas? They’ve got you covered with
three different kinds: chicken, steak
or shrimp, with combinations of grilled
onions, green chiles, onions, cheeses,
mushrooms,
The menu is exactly what you’d expect:
straightforward, honest, Mexican
“comfort” food, by and large. But don’t
sell Macayo’s short: there are a few
exciting spins on old favorites, and
there’s something that’s bound to
please at a price everyone can
afford.
Got a hankering for a burro?
And I don’t mean of the
“donkey” variety. They’ve got
four varieties to choose from,
including grilled carne asada,
shredded beef, shredded
chicken, ground beef, or
“California” style, with no meat,
but other goodies. All around
the $10 mark.

sauces
and more.
In addition to house specialties,
like Steak Picado, Chicken Poblano,
Carnitas and more – and not even
topping the $13 mark – you can even
choose from three different enchilada
dinners, or “Mex ‘n’ Match,” where you
can create practically anything you
want, pairing it with a variety of specialty
creations and sides. Get a little, or a
lot. But guaranteed, you’ll be filled up.
These choices are run from $6.99 to
$10.99. Cheap, cheap, cheap! But good,
good, good!
So loosen up! Remember the good
52
times
when
you
came to
Macayo’s
with
Mom and
Dad! It’s kind of
a trip down Memory Lane, especially
in the old location, but it’s still just as
fun! And, yes, you can still get one of
those kooky Margaritas and drink out
of the sombrero of the ceramic Señor
or Señorita. And take it home for a
souvenir.

Barbra Seville’s Wonderful 100
“A Cause may be inconvenient, but it’s
magnificent. It’s like champagne or high
heels, and you have to be prepared to
suffer for it.”
Wonderful 100 is still the same as it was
last year: 100 people raising $100 each.
This year Seville’s “Wonderful 100”
team may exceed the century mark.
Registration is not limited.
And if anybody should know about a
Cause, champagne and high heels, it’s
our own veteran of footlights and fame,
the magnificent Miss Barbra Seville.
But it was Barbra’s creator, Richard
Stevens, who decided that he – and his
creation Barbra – could lend their name,
clout, know-how, a little moxie along with
some shoe leather and help raise dearly
needed funds for AIDS Walk Phoenix,
an Aunt Rita’s Foundation event, once
it was resurrected last year again after
several years on hiatus. That’s why
“Barbra Seville’s Wonderful 100” was
created. The AIDS Walk Phoenix is a
magnificent Cause. And if you don’t
mind a brisk walk just over three miles
you can be part of a worthwhile event
benefitting many.
This year, ArizonaDrag.com, Apollo’s
Lounge, Charlie’s Phoenix, Forbidden
Nightclub and ION Arizona magazine
are sponsoring Barbra Seville’s
Wonderful 100. Not only that, Barbra’s
enlisted a team of dedicated volunteers
who are sharing their time and gifts to
help make Seville’s Wonderful 100 – in
her words – “Bigger. Blonder. And more
Bodacious than ever!” ArizonaDrag.
com’s drag queen kingpin, Edward
Castro, Forbidden and Switch’s Dusty
Brinsmade – always quick to volunteer
for a Cause, Nathan Rhoton, the “Can
Do” man, the enthusiastic, handsome
Alfredo Guardio and others are all
helping with Seville’s juggernaut walking
team.
“Last year was
fantastic,”
Richard said.
“People kept
asking me,
‘Are you
going to do
it again?’”

to me. People care that much. You don’t
have to raise $1,200. I’ve even had
people raise five or ten dollars because
that was all some could afford.”
“What’s
really
remarkable
are the
people who’ve
contributed their
talent. They’ve picked up the
ball and volunteered, saying, ‘I can do
that!’” Richard said. “I’m really excited
about working with new people. Seeing
people getting excited about it, and
getting their friends excited about AIDS
Walk Phoenix, too. It’s a beautiful day
to be out; young, old, Gay, Straight – all
walking for those who can’t. It really
shows the best of Phoenix.”
Kirk Baxter said, “Barbara Seville
sets the bar for AIDS Walk with her
chutzpah and community service. Her
fun, money-raising strategies embody
the spirit of giving in addition to her own
flair. Aunt Rita’s Foundation and the
agencies we serve love her.”
Last year Charlie’s Phoenix helped
Seville’s team start the day with a hot
breakfast presented at the club. Richard
remembers, “My favorite part of the
day happened early in the morning. I
was tired; I did a show the night before.
But at 6:50 in the morning I arrived at
the parking lot at Charlie’s, and there
were already people waiting. It was so
sweet. I had to walk away and just have
a private ‘moment.’ All these people –
ready to walk. People were tired, people
were hungover. People who had worked
all night still got up that morning and
made it there. It’s really overwhelming
58
If you’ve got a pooch, you can register
your pet to walk with PAWS for the
Cause at the same time. Seville’s
Wonderful 100 team of volunteers will
be at BS West on Sunday afternoon,
September 12 for a unique registration
event: It’s Yappy Hour from 2-4 p.m.
Pack up your pup and register over
a mug o’ suds. Or meet her team at
Switch on Thursday, September 29 from
7-9 p.m. and sign up.

Walk Phoenix 2010 and join Barbra

Wonderful 100, Team Number T20303.
“It’s out of my hands,” said Richard.
“It’s everybody walking.” Sounds like a
magnificent Cause, doesn’t it? Thanks
to Barbra Seville and her Wonderful
100, it is.

As summer winds down I’m ear

keyhole – as I cover the waterfront. Although
the waterfront at Tempe Town Lake is at a
low ebb.
But I did visit the dried up banks of the
Lake when I went to the Marquee Theatre
to see American Idol alum Adam Lambert
(who was never, ever a stripper, as far as I
know) perform in all of his eyeliner glory. The
audience was a combination of screaming,

Aries Mar. 21 - Apr. 20
Economy and thrift are not your greatest
virtues. Watch your spendthrift ways! Clip
coupons, hit the all-u-can-eat Chinese
Buffets, drink at Happy Hours only, and go
to Dick’s Cabaret for two-fer table dances.
There’s a happy medium somewhere.
Taurus Apr. 21 - May 20
When one door closes, another one opens.
Make sure it’s not a trapdoor that someone
opens for you. There’s another way to get in.
Take the stairs. Not only is it a good cardio
workout, you’ll be be rewarded. And your
legs will look fabulous!
Gemini May 21 - June 21
Look, but don’t touch. Keep your eyes open
and your hands to yourself for once. You’ll
discover that your powers of observation
are more apparent and you’ll see things in a
whole new light.
Cancer June 22 - July 22
It’s all about attitude for you this month.
Pretend you’re an egg! Focus, or you’ll end
up scrambled. Rest, or you’ll feel fried. Stay
open-minded or you’ll be hard-boiled. Keep
your sunny side up! Or you may get recalled.
Leo July 23 - Aug. 22
You’ve been under pressure. Take some time
to get your ya-yas out. Maybe it’s exercise.
Maybe it’s a day at the movies. Maybe it’s
shopping. Or it may be something as easy as
masturbating. Whatever it takes – do it. But
not ‘til you go blind.
Virgo Aug. 23 - Sep. 22
It’s not always easy finding answers in one
sentence. But if it’s your birthday, “The world
is your oyster.” Open it to find your pearl!
Other Virgos will find the beauty in something
others find ugly. Like Miley Cyrus. Only
uglier.

Libra Sep. 23 - Oct. 22
Look up in the sky! No, a little to the left. You
don’t see it? The cosmos are trying to show
you something, but you need to concentrate.
For the birthday Libra expect a surprise.
It might be shooting star, or it could be
inconspicuous. But it’s out there.
Scorpio Oct. 23 - Nov.23
You’ve remembered to fetch something that
you once disregarded. Was it an old t-shirt? A
book? Or maybe it was a friendship? Both of
them fit and were once among your favorites.
They can still be.
Sagittarius Nov. 23 - Dec. 23
Did you start this month off on the wrong
foot? Do you remember if it was the right or
left? It doesn’t matter. But retrace your steps.
You’ll gain new perspective. Then go buy
some new shoes for both feet! Why not?
Capricorn Dec. 23 - Jan. 20
Someone out there thinks you’re the most
fabulous person in the world. The whole,
wide, world! Out of roughly 6,864,132,832
that’s a real accomplishment! You’re so
special your face should be on a bumper
sticker! Just remember that.
Aquarius Jan. 21 - Feb. 19
Life’s temptations and follies are and endless
source of entertainment for you. You’ll be
better off if you avoid these lures. Pitfalls will
compromise your pride if you persist. Opt for
a more virtuous path. You won’t be a saint,
but it’s a start.
Pisces Feb. 20 - Mar. 20
Pay attention to those who are trying to
get on your good side. They may not have
good intentions. Easy to flatter, you fall for a
compliment too easily. Be canny and careful.
But that top looks so cute on you! See? You
fell for it again!
