I'm sure the English phrase "fess up" causes giggles for
those who speak French and English -- "fesses," pronounced
[fess], is French for buns, and it's quite appropriate to an
abuse bottom (or anything other style of bottom) to say
"buns up!"

Nope. I'm almost certain he's not married. Seems to me I saw him
interviewed a few months back or so by Barbara Walters or Connie
Chung or Jane Pauley, I forget. He lives alone with his dog. Now

it.  There are many ways to save a squirrel (nuts are one of

Well, I doubt your appreciation spills over to "American Gigolo" that
featured "Call Me" during the opening credits.  The Richard Gere
character was such a total L.A. fashion queen and I don't recall
seeing a hair on his body as he hung there in his exercise boots.  OK,
so the plot did suck, but I'll take it over "Pretty Woman" any day.

Nope. Can you have "velcro" with the "hooks" part and a piece of

furry 'uns for UVE.

The Bacchae still rates in my book as one of the most revealing,
disturbing plays Western culture has ever produced ... running the
gamut from trance states to high camp drag, Pentheus gives our own
popular icons a run for their money ... I have to say that as much as I
admire the hypnotic beauty of the kaleidoscope of images in Madonna's
"Erotic" video, I feel pulled down into something frightening and
gloomy with no salvation or cure, no inkling of campy resolution like
her other stuff.

It's like doing an envelope of powder stashed away since the
mid-eighties --  buzzing, yet dimly aware that the dance floor is
mostly empty, knowing you are going to crash, but the author of your
trip doesn't seem to care, and is perhaps laughing at you.

(Marilyn stands before the mirror, preparing for a night's work on
the streets. The makeup has already been removed, leaving her pale,
puffy-eyed and clean. Her green contacts have been replaced with
rhinestone horn-rims, and she's hidden her red hair under a wig
(the mousy brown one with a bun). She's padded her body slightly,
hiding toned curves and simulating frumpishness, and she is now
straightening the hem of her brown, severely pleated skirt. Her
bra is flesh-toned nylon, her blouse a conservative flower print.
She kicks on some white sneakers, surveys the final effect and
deems it proper.

Later, she finds her first customer. Very handsome, obviously
quite successful with the ladies. He noticed her in the poultry
section and approached her in paper goods; a deal was struck.

They are now in a cab; he pays her up-front, fifty dollars. He
then begins to paw at her; she smacks his wandering hands. His
advances become more fervent, desperate; her practiced defense
thwarts every attempt. She feigns mounting hysteria until she
figures 20 minutes have passed, then bolts from the cab at a
stoplight. Timidly she returns the wave of her john as the cab
pulls away; she has performed well. She gets her bearings, then
heads for the nearest park bench, pulling out a book of poetry
and a bag of birdseed and discreetly tucking the bills in her
bra.

Well, Gertrude Stein, Emma Goldman and Nijinsky are all 
20th century figures.  (OK, Emma Goldman did do a lot of 
hell raising in the 19th century, but I'd say she's more 
a 20th century figure.)  In any case, I think that to call 
a media phenomenon an "icon" is to water down the meaning 
of the word to the point that it's virtually meaningless.

What I mean by icon derives from this OED definition:

   A representation of some sacred personage, in painting,
   bas-relief, or mosaic, itself regarded as sacred, and
   honored with a relative worship or adoration.

To dismiss Jess's list of 19th century icons because they're
*just* cultural figures is perverse.  But to be an icon, they 
must have a significance beyond the particulars of their 
biographies.

And I suppose I should note here that I've reconsidered
the case of Madonna, and now think that she's the P.T. Barnum
of the '80s.

Probably to keep people like me *OUT*.  ;-{)##]

The Glendale Galleria's JC Penney and Mervyn's both follow this
