Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wants smokable medical marijuana, MCO sponsors donation drive for furloughed government workers, Mills 50 lift station spills another 1,000 gallons of poopwater and other news you may have missed last week. »

DeSantis says Florida should allow patients to smoke medical marijuana: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wants the state Legislature to change the

current law banning smokable medical marijuana. “I want people to have their suffering relieved,” said DeSantis, speaking in front of reporters in Winter Park. DeSantis said if the Legislature fails to change the law, he’ll drop the state’s appeal of a 2017 court decision ruling that banning medical cannabis violated a 2016 constitutional amendment. DeSantis added he also wanted lawmakers to look at the current cap on the number of medical-marijuana licenses and the “vertical integration” system that requires nurseries to also process and distribute the marijuana they grow. “Whether they have to smoke it or not, who am I to judge that?” DeSantis said. The governor made clear he is against recreational marijuana but said he will be looking at all court cases involving medical marijuana.

Orlando International Airport sponsors donation drive for government employees during partial shutdown: The Orlando

International Airport Management Council sponsored a donation drive last week to assist employees of the Transportation Security Administration, Customs and Border Protection, and the Federal Aviation Administration during the partial government shutdown. The longest federal shutdown in history has gone for more than a month as President Donald Trump demands more than $5 billion in funding for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Multiple restaurants and businesses in town, including the Orlando Repertory Theatre, the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art and MX Taco, provided freebies to government workers hard-hit by the shutdown.

Nikki Fried bans discrimination against LGBTQ employees in her office: The recently elected Florida Agriculture Commissioner announced last

week that she’s revising the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ list of workplace protections against discrimination to include “sexual orientation” and “gender identity.” The Florida Civil Rights Act doesn’t explicitly protect queer and trans communities from discrimination, meaning it’s legal to deny LGBTQ people housing, service and employment. The state Agriculture and Consumer Services Department will be the first in Florida’s state government to ban discrimination on the basis of both sexual orientation and gender identity, according to the office. “This is a brand-new day in which our Department and its 4,000 employees are making a strong statement – we will not tolerate discrimination in our workplace on any basis, including sexual orientation and gender identity,” Fried said. Earlier this month, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an antidiscrimination order for state employees that excluded protections for LGBTQ people.

Soto, Díaz-Balart propose bill to give Venezuelans temporary immigration protections: U.S. Reps. Darren Soto and Mario Díaz-Balart have

proposed a bipartisan bill to allow Venezuelans fleeing their country’s humanitarian crisis to become eligible for the Temporary Protected Status program, also known as TPS. Both Florida lawmakers say the regime of President Nicolás Maduro has “perpetrated egregious human rights abuses and corrupted Venezuela’s once democratic institutions, leading to an economic, humanitarian and security crisis.” United Nations officials estimated in November that the number of Venezuelan refugees who fled their country was about 3 million people. Under the bill proposed by Soto, D-Orlando, and Díaz-Balart, R-Miami, Venezuelans would be allowed to legally stay in the U.S. and be shielded from deportation. They would also be granted work permits and be allowed to travel abroad for emergencies and extenuating circumstances.

Lift station behind Mills 50 apartment complex spills another 1,000 gallons of shit into Orlando lakes: A lift station at an Orlando

apartment complex with a history of failing recently dropped another 1,000 gallons of sewage into three Orlando lakes. The city of Orlando has issued Lake Alerts for Lake Formosa, Lake Rowena and Lake Sue after a malfunctioning bypass valve in a private lift station, located at the Gallery at Mills Park apartment complex, resulted in poopwater spilling onto the Urban Trail and the nearby stormwater system. Though the city says a private contractor has since repaired the damaged valve and cleaned all areas impacted by the spill, there’s still a possibility of elevated fecal coliform counts in all three lakes. Over the past 16 months, the same lift station has failed four different times, reports Fox 35. In 2017, following Hurricane Irma, the lift station released 15,000 gallons of sewage into the stormwater system. orlandoweekly.com

MAKE RELIGIOUS EDUCATION GREAT AGAIN Fundamentalism teaches kids that that they’re better than marginalized communities, because God has blessed them BY J EFFREY C. BI L L M A N

Where to even begin this week?

Buzzfeed’s would-have-been-a-bombshell that President Trump told Michael Cohen to lie to Congress, or the Special Counsel’s Office’s statement knocking it down? Maybe the New York Times’ story that FBI agents had investigated whether the president was a Russian agent? Or Rudy Giuliani admitting that Trump was negotiating a deal for Trump Tower Moscow through November 2016? How about Trump’s bungled attempt at a “compromise” to end the government shutdown, a promise to not deport Dreamers and Temporary Protected Status recipients for three years in exchange for his wall? Or Nancy Pelosi delaying Trump’s State of the Union address, and Trump barring Pelosi from using military planes to visit Afghanistan in retaliation? Like many of its 103 immediate predecessors, this past week contained enough scandals and outrages and momentous news events to fill months, maybe years of any other administration. Any of those – and several more – could warrant an 800-word exploration in its own right. But this perpetual deluge of crazy-making so often obscures smaller stories that warrant our attention, and I’d like to focus on one of them this week. You’ve likely seen that image from Friday’s March for Life in Washington, showing a smug MAGA Youth smirking at a Native American while his compatriots

reportedly chanted “Build the wall!” The narrative has become more complicated since, as additional footage showed that the boys – from the all-male, mostly white Covington Catholic High School in Kentucky, who’d traveled to the Capitol to tell women what they can do with their bodies – had been taunted by a group of black Hebrew Israelites, and Nathan Phillips, the Native American, was trying to defuse the situation. The boy in that viral image, Nick Sandmann, has denied antagonizing Phillips and says his friends were doing school chants in solidarity with Phillips – which, well, sure, kid. I don’t want to get into the weeds of what transpired. I just want to say this: I’ve seen that look on Sandmann’s face before. That shit-eating grin. That smug condescension. That entitlement that comes from a lifetime of consequence-free privilege. I recognized it immediately. I grew up surrounded by it. Throughout my childhood, I attended a parochial school in the South – not all-male, but mostly white, often privileged and very theologically and politically conservative – where I learned, among other things, that the Earth was created 6,000 years ago, the Salem witches maybe had it coming, gays are trying to recruit children, and God is going to burn most of humanity in eternal hellfire because he loves them. (This being a private school in the South, I also learned some less-

than-accurate stuff about the Civil War and the civil rights movement.) But all that – and the generally repressive atmosphere – aside, it was an academically elite institution, which was why some non-Christian parents sent their kids there. And most of the students were decent kids who turned out to be decent adults. I said most. I’ve seen that look before. At the beginning of every school year, we were forced to sign an agreement that we would not engage in a variety of sins: drinking, drugs, fornication, listening to secular music, etc. Also forbidden, of course, was any indication of homosexuality, which, we were taught, was fundamentally a rebellion against God. My school had its share of then-closeted gay kids – they’d have been expelled if they came out – who spent their adolescence being told that their very existence was a perversion. It had its share of kids like me, who spent years trying to square this dogma (both on LGBTQ and other issues) with life experience that showed how intellectually bereft that dogma was. But it also had its share of kids for whom the message stuck. I was thinking about that this week, when Karen Pence made news by going to teach at a Virginia Christian school that bans gay and transgender students and parents. Predictably, perhaps, Mike Pence reacted to criticism by playing the victim, telling something called the Eternal Word Television Network that he and his wife found the criticism “deeply offensive.” “We have a rich tradition in America of Christian education and, frankly, religious education broadly defined,” Pence said. “We celebrate it. … So we’ll let the other critics roll off our back, but this criticism of Christian education in America should stop.” Here, of course, Pence is conflating dogmatic indoctrination with religious education. He ignores what it says about his values that he’s using his platform to promote an institution that has homophobia as a core tenet, but then again, I wouldn’t expect him to be that self-aware. Despite his martyrdom, no one’s trying to close the school. But we should acknowledge what places like this drill into impressionable minds, and that this is no small part of their raison d’être. Fundamentalism teaches certitude, a black-andwhite, good-and-bad, us-versus-them sense of the world. For queer kids trying to figure out their identities, being enveloped in this world doesn’t make them less queer, it just teaches them that they’re abnormal deviants who could change if only they were strong enough. For other kids, though, it teaches them that they’re better than their struggling peers, better than the marginalized communities with which they have little contact, because they deserve what they have, because God has blessed them. I’ve seen that look before.

Neat How I got back to my roots and embraced my true self By Stephanie Daniels

“Girl, why is your hair all over your head?”

stood there for a moment, my mother’s words sharp like a bee sting. I knew she meant no harm, but I had felt so proud of how I looked. I answered, “Mom, these are free-form locs.” Earlier that day, I had found and allowed my spirit to shine in its truest form. But the journey to self-love is never an easy one. ¶ Two hours prior to my mother’s rather unwelcome, yet not entirely unexpected, question, I was sitting in a hair salon endearingly named Napps.

top with a piece of Kente cloth adorning her waist. Her grounding in her own spirit called me to crawl out from behind the world’s standards and join hers. We talked about spirituality, incense, alkaline and ancestors. Then she paused to ask how I wanted my hair done. I hesitated for a moment, the truth on my lips as if waiting on the pop of a starter’s pistol to let it go. But her energy brought it out of me. “I’m considering free form, but I don’t know …” The words lingered in the embarrassment I felt in not giving myself the love to be free. Free-form locs are the father of traditional dreadlocks. Most people with locs go in and get their hair styled and roots re-twisted for a more “clean and neat” look. Free form is more organic. It’s about letting your hair take the shape for which it was intended: no manipulation. It’s allowing your spirit to manifest on the outside in its truest form. Monique inquired as to why I wouldn’t take the leap, rinsing what felt like every inhibition from my hair. Then she laid on my spirit the words that have stuck with me ever since: “If you can’t be who you are in your own skin, then what you’re doing isn’t for you.” It was refreshing to find someone so grounded, but it also saddened me that I’d been living in St. Louis my whole life and never received such bracing words. I was scared of how “untamed” my hair would look to others — the residual effects of the grooming I had received for decades. Hair was a topic we seldom spoke about directly in my family, but it always tended to come up in conversation, verbal or not. Growing up, I was one of five and the only girl. I can still hear my mom telling me how she’d prayed for a full head of hair for me. She hadn’t dealt with natural hair herself, because she only had boys prior to me. And she herself had a low cut like them. My whole life my mom has always been confident with her hair; I mean the woman literally said, “I’m done with my hair,” and cut it at a time where women with short hair were looked at as masculine. Her routine was very simple: She would take the boys to get their hair cut, and have the barber cut her hair as well. As a child, I would go with them to the barber shop. Her living in her truth was huge to me before I even knew it. I remember thinking “How cool is she?” as she sat among the men, there for the same thing. She could assert herself, cut out the nonsense and remain as delicate as a lotus. She was free and confident in her own skin as a black woman. I’ve never seen my mother with hair,

like ever. She first cut her hair in her late teens, in 1977. Keep in mind the era she was in. In the 1970s, natural hair exploded in the black community as a whole, and St. Louis was no exception. Afros adorned the heads of many, and black power ignited the black community like the Olympic torch. Black hair was being shown in a positive light. My mom was the image of that in her own way. It was her form of liberation. Growing up, my grandmother would keep Mom’s hair pressed. Every couple of weeks, my mother would hesitantly walk into the loud bustle of the beauty salon: chairs filled with women talking about what they’d done that week, what was the new style, about “Jack” and his slick perm. Despite all of that, her eyes were dead-set on her seat amongst it all. She didn’t want to battle the familiar enemy of many black women: the hot comb. Many black women can attest to their love-hate relationship with the hot comb. It was what you endured to be “beautiful,” and my mother wasn’t immune. She sat still as the comb heated up, staring in anticipation as her beautician pulled it from the stove, the smoke that wafted from it validating her fears. As the comb got closer, the fear of getting burned washed over her, forcing her into the darkness behind her eyelids. It wasn’t pleasant. But society, family and that voice inside insisted your hair should look neat, neat was straight and straight hair meant an appointment with a hot comb. But even after she resisted the hot comb, even as she got her hair cut so very short, my mother still signed on to the opinion that your hair should look neat. She wasn’t alone in that. Even in the era of the afro, there was always this underlying distaste for styles that looked “unkempt.” You can see it if you look back on pictures of how afros were styled. They were trimmed to the “T” and picked to perfection, not a hair out of place. This sort of unspoken rule of neatness often acted, and still acts, as a catalyst in the avoidance of hairstyles that show the true natural form of black hair. And this influenced my personal hair journey.

For years, I went to the hair salon and stared at the hot comb, just as my mother had before me. I straightened my hair, permed it, got sew-ins, dyed it. I overworked my hair and succumbed to what society and even my familial history told me was right. But something in me resisted. I began to read books about my history, and watched as many interviews and commentaries as I could on what it meant to be black. I viewed hair tutorial after hair tutorial, looking up natural concoctions orlandoweekly.com

that I could make and use in my hair: coconut oil, grapeseed oil, flax seeds. The more I dove into my culture, the more I wanted to be free within it. I saw photos of my ancestors wearing their hair in its natural state, and I learned the purpose of it. So, in response, I chose free-form locs as the truest expression of myself. For Africans, I learned hair had always been a part of our spirituality, and always served a purpose. Often, it was looked upon as a direct line to our ancestors and the Most High. Our hair acts as an antenna that taps into a higher vibration, an idea inspired by how our follicles grow upward, towards the creator. But through the transatlantic slave trade and colonization, the very fabric of our beliefs and what our ancestors held sacred were stripped away. Historically Africans were made to cut their hair, and were separated from the beliefs and spiritual systems that had been at the center of their communities. Their African features were looked down on, and Eurocentric features were prized. More than a century after slavery, the perm was introduced. Women and men moved away from natural hair, and placed harsh chemicals that often singed their hair to obtain the beauty standard. We see now the residual effects in research that links hair chemicals used by black women to fibroids. Black women in the U.S. have a rate of these uterine tumors that’s two to three times higher than white ones. For a 2012 study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, the authors interviewed more than 23,000 premenopausal black women from 1997 to 2009 and found higher fibroid rates among women who’d used relaxers in their hair. Relaxers often contain lye (sodium hydroxide), which can cause burns and lesions on the scalp. The authors linked these burns to the occurrences of fibroids. I’ve long been intrigued by the link between our ancestors’ first experiences with European culture and the imprints left on our society in the present day. We live in a society of social media, where influence can be magnified as it confronts us in image after image, on screen after screen. As a black woman, it is a constant struggle dealing with beauty. We go to get makeup and can’t find our shade; access to natural hair-care products that work with our hair is limited, often manufactured by individuals who don’t look like us; and of course, natural hair is deemed “unprofessional.” Your African hair is called “nappy” and your body “fat”; when you turn to social CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

media, you get choked out by the cultural appropriation. Even in 2018, we are still trying to find our place in society without having to compromise what we look like. But it has always been a struggle for us, especially when it comes to how we perceive ourselves, and how black men perceive us.

oldest

brother,

Courtney, and I often talked about my hair — he was the one person who just got it. I remember one particular conversation. We sat at his kitchen table, a mix of old and modern rap music playing in the background. I listened intently, this short dark-skinned guy in his 40s (my other brothers and I, being younger, always gave him trouble about his age) telling me what it was like growing up for him. We got on the topic of black women and their hair, and I asked, “How was hair perceived when you were growing up?” His answer surprised me. “Guys wanted girls with ‘good hair,’ and a weave was something that we looked down on.” That was such an interesting concept. These days, when the conversation surrounding “good hair” sways its ugly head in circles of black women, women with more kinky textures feel less beautiful than their counterparts because of what society has set forth as beautiful. In 2018, many of the black women we see on social media with “good hair” have weaves or wigs. But we are also just now moving into an era where our natural hair feels good to us. The huge response to the Nappily Ever After movie on Netflix, which portrays a black woman going through her hair journey, shows the hunger for that. What saddened me the most about my brother’s response was the fact that, in response to what the black men around them found beautiful, black women with coarse hair sought long straight hair. They weren’t part of a society that embraced their natural hair, and they couldn’t even look to those within their own circles to encourage them to be natural. CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

As he described how hair was viewed when he was younger, I felt myself relating to what those women were going through. How do you feel beautiful in your own skin when everything around you is saying the opposite?

All these things influenced the path

of my hair journey. Choosing to free-form my hair was my answer to noise I heard around me. Society’s standards, familial history and perception, corporate America, they all faded to the background like the slow winding of the storm sirens on the first Monday of the month. At one time in my life, I let everything around me essentially influence the love I had for myself. I chased off my thick coils with heat, I hid them behind sew-ins, I dreaded the way my hair would revert to its natural state at the smallest presence of moisture. But I knew I was more than that. My ancestors forged a path that brought me here. I know that I am the descendant of those strong enough to withstand a long voyage across the sea after being ripped from their homeland, being forced to watch their loved ones brutalized, and humiliated as an example to the others. A life so far from the harmony, love and spiritual morals of the homeland.

I know my history. I know that it is a struggle to reconnect with who we are as black people; our very stories are marked out of history books, often written over or falsified. Our ancestors endured so much, and that is why I choose to live in my truth. I am natural, and I won’t apologize for that — not even to those who find my hair outside of the standard of beauty. My mother has learned to love my hair and what it stands for to me. I understand that traditions are hard to get past, but when one generation takes a step in a new direction, it beckons the older to see its possibilities. Ultimately, my mother wants me to be happy, to love myself as a black woman and to understand who I am. What’s important to me is to continue to show other black women and girls that it is OK to love your hair as it grows from your head, no matter the texture. No one yields the beauty that you do, and you must believe that. I don’t care if it makes someone uncomfortable, if it prevents me from obtaining work, if I am any less beautiful to others. I owe it to myself and those before me to reconnect, to set my spirit free. To look a little less neat. Stephanie Daniels is a freelance writer.

orosity. Hair types. Wash day. Binge-watching videos on YouTube. These words likely don’t mean much to you if you’re not one of the chosen ones with naturally curly hair. There’s a deep, dark world of coconut oil-loving people, and I’m proud to be one of them. In 2011, against my family’s wishes, I went natural not knowing if I’d look desirable or professional. In short, “going natural” occurs when a person, mainly women, especially of color, stop chemical hair treatments to allow their hair to revert back to its natural state. Many women decide to do the big chop, which involves cutting their hair off to start over. This transition can be liberating and stressful because it inherently involves going against the societal norms of having long, straight hair. Comedian Chris Rock shocked the world in 2009 when he released Good Hair, a documentary filled with colorful imagery about the natural hair community at large and the detrimental health effects associated with using traditional hair products. The film started a long-lasting global conversation concerning how people view health and hair. Today, even for most, the hair transition will take courage and a little unnecessary education in the workplace, but it’s worth it to better their health and to strengthen their identity. And with every new year, there come new opportunities to make healthy changes. Why not let your hair be one of them? Let’s raise a bottle of kombucha to the wavy, curly, coily and kinky hair types bouncing with boldness around Orlando because representation, even within the hair community, deeply matters. – Chauniqua Major-Louis Curl care and rejuvenation: @ReetasOrganics Order products at reetasorganics.com @DeeCarrington Book at 407-476-1824 @TheCurlNinja Book at bookorlando.as.me Styling: @InspiringStyleLLC Book at 251-423-1485 @Kerls.Salon Book at booking@gokerls.com Natural hair show: @HairSheGrows instagram/hairshegrows Major is a popcorn maker, publicist and content creator based in Orlando, with hair just as big as her personality.

ICE CREAM FOR ASTHMA

The Florida Project director Sean Baker returns to Central Florida to share his wisdom at Rollins College BY MON IVETTE COR D EI R O

ore than a year ago, director Sean Baker captured the sickly sweet truth about Central Florida – that, despite our status as a magical vacation destination, thousands of us are struggling to eke out a survival on poverty wages and inadequate housing in the glittery shadows of Disney World. The opposing dualities of our existence in the metro Orlando area were portrayed in Baker’s 2017 film The Florida Project through the eyes of Moonee (Brooklynn Prince), a mischievous 6-year-old girl who lives precariously in the lavender Magic Castle motel off Kissimmee’s dilapidated Highway 192 strip with her mother, Halley (Bria Vinaite).

BUZZY IN BETTER DAYS | STILL FROM VIDEO BY MATT SONSWA

Late last year, the internet lit up

with claims that Buzzy, the audioanimatronic star of Epcot’s long-closed Cranium Command show, had been stolen from the decommissioned theater where he’d been gathering dust for a decade. When police reports revealed that Patrick Allen Spikes, who posted backstage photos on Twitter as @BackDoorDisney, was questioned in connection with the disappearance of Buzzy’s clothing and hands, a bright light was directed on the shadowy yet increasingly popular subculture of theme park urban explorers (aka “urbex”). Few know this perilous pastime better than YouTuber Matt Sonswa, who has gained notoriety by posting videos from inside abandoned attractions – including the last known footage of Buzzy inside Cranium Command – earning himself two lifetime bans from Walt Disney World in the process. Last year, we met in a public park to discuss his clandestine career, and more recently I caught up with him in Celebration, where he and fellow urbex Jake Williams of Bright Sun Films were greeting fans and followers. A native Floridian from the Fort Lauderdale area, Sonswa started his urban explorations shortly after moving to Orlando in early 2017. “I’ve always sort of pushed the limits. We used to break into abandoned malls to hang out and mess around, but I never thought about filming places,” says Sonswa. It wasn’t until he contacted the vlogger “Florida UrbanX” about an abandoned location they had documented that he considered trying it himself. His first destination was Discovery Island, Walt Disney World’s former animal habitat floating in the middle of Bay Lake. “I came across the article by Shane Perez [shaneperez.blogspot.com] on his expedition to Disney’s Discovery Island,” Sonswa says. “I searched high and low on the internet

The shadowy world of theme park urban explorers: Are they legends? Are they idiots? And where are Buzzy’s hands now? for any type of video of the island’s current state, and there was none whatsoever. So I figured I should go see it and film it myself.” Sonswa describes the experience as “like stepping into a time portal back into 1999, everything is just left untouched. That’s the beauty of it being on Disney property, nobody can get there.” The resulting YouTube video garnered more than 130,000 views, fueling Sonswa’s exploratory ambitions, and he made a return visit to the island in 2018. In between, he was caught in off-limits areas at Epcot (“a lady tried to bring me to the security office in the back of Epcot … I took off running and sprinted 40 yards through the back of Epcot and found my way back into the park through a maintenance walkway”) and at Disney Quest, prior to the Disney Springs arcade’s demolition. “I filmed it and I got out – that’s when a security guard approached me and asked, ‘Who are you, how did you get in there?’” He was charged with felony burglary (that charge was later dropped) and misdemeanor trespassing, and permanently banned from the resort. Despite that, he has recently posted footage from the peak of the Magic Kingdom’s Big Thunder Mountain and from inside the gutted hull of Walt Disney’s private airplane. Reactions to Sonswa’s YouTube videos range from “You’re a legend, thank you so much” to “You’re an idiot, you suck.” Likewise, his family is “not too thrilled

about it,” especially since his arrest: “My brother bailed me out. Me and him were never on good terms, so that was definitely a fun car ride home.” Sonswa adds that he wouldn’t recommend the urbex experience to most. “It’s been kind of a headache in terms of getting arrested. It’s definitely not worth it.” Regarding the #FindBuzzy fervor, Sonswa says, “I’m sure it’s very frustrating for Disney fans that the company was not able to secure the animatronic into the Walt Disney archives sooner. I’m just glad I was able to document and share the attraction when I did. It really highlights the fact that urban explorers like myself only strive to preserve history. Sadly, when it comes to ‘Disney’s Magic,’ too much curiosity will always get the best of you.” For another perspective, I turned to Dave “Hoot Gibson” Ensign, the godfather of Disney urban explorers, whose exploits with the late Ed “Thunder Chief” Barlow inside Epcot’s extinct Horizons ride were featured in the 2015 documentary The Dark Side of Disney. Ensign says he “feels sorry” for modern Disney urbex “because they missed out on the really cool attractions built in a time when safety wasn’t a concern and you could get away with so much more,” but asserts that “urban exploring and blatant theft are two different things. Explorers usually respect the places they go and don’t disturb the place or steal milliondollar figures.” However, Ensign also says that “the theft of attraction props [has] been going on since the first shovel of WDW dirt in 1969,” and that “the real problem Disney faces these days isn’t the kids stealing props. It’s the very wealthy who are collecting this stuff and paying huge amounts of money for anything these kids can steal.” And as for Buzzy himself? According to Hoot’s sources, the figure was removed by Walt Disney Imagineering and facility maintenance: “They had an order to remove him so people wouldn’t hurt themselves by sneaking in there and climbing on the sets. Unfortunately, nobody told operations or security who found it missing and assumed he’d been stolen.” Since Disney refuses to comment on the matter, the mystery of the missing animatronic must end there, but it’s only a matter of time until the next urbex uproar ignites online. NOTE: Neither this author nor Orlando Weekly condone trespassing or any other crime. Don’t try this at home! skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

[ food + drink ] ZERO DEGREES

ICE & FIRE

Latin-Asian fusion joint is the coolest, and hottest, chain in town BY FAIYAZ KARA

he eastward expansion of Zero Degrees had many a right-coaster drooling at the prospect of slurping the colorful, fruit-filled slushy drinks the Latin-Asian chain has built its reputation on. Clearly the bev-loving folk of Orlando could barely contain their thirst – lines inside the Westside Crossings slushery reached the front door on both my visits, with many a frugivore zombie gawking at the menu screens and giddily mouthing the ingredients of the fleshy refreshments. “Maaaango chunks … lycheeee crush … nondairy creamerrrr.” The fruit drinks, teas and coffees here are much ballyhooed, and rightfully so. The spicy watermelon ($6) is now a fave potable of mine, and it’s really because of the addition of two simple ingredients: Tajín, the zingy spice blend of lime, chili peppers and sea salt; and chamoy, the sweet, tangy, mildly spicy pickled fruit condiment. The Mexican ingredients play into the “fusion” aspects of Zero Degrees’ menu, which go way beyond the liquid, but back to those bevs for a moment. The aforementioned spicy watermelon, a chunky slush laced with the racy powder, and the mango-

nada (the same but with mango, also $6), aroused an Anton Ego-style reverie in me – the mangonada in particular. As a child, on our frequent visits to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, my street snack of choice was slightly underripe mangos dipped in a mix of chili powder, salt and citric acid. A sip of the Zero Degrees slush in all its tangy, salty, spicy splendor vortexed me back to those sweltering childhood summers spent in Africa; of seaside walks on Oyster Bay and a requisite stop to pay the man a pittance for the pleasure of biting into a peppered pulp of perfection. “NUMBER 52!” If the server’s bellow didn’t rouse me back to the world of West Colonial Drive, the unnatural hue of the “XXTRA Flamin Hot Chilotes” ($7.50) certainly would have. This is street-snack fusion at its streetiest – cheesy elotes topped with a crush of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos and garnished with perfectly fried chicharrones. The day-glo-red dust also makes appearances on the menu

OPENINGS

atop cheese fries and in “Mac & Cheetos.” Eating it kinda had me wishing I was sloshed, or at least mildly buzzed. Popcorn chicken ($5.50) won’t exactly burst your kernel, but honey-barbecue and salt-andpepper versions won’t disappoint either. I liked the fries, which are somewhere between a shoestring and a standard cut, and I also liked stealing sips from my dining mate’s minty cucumber-lime ($5) drink, which helped temper the heat. On that first visit, we absolutely couldn’t get enough of the chicken wings ($7.50) flavored with garlic, butter and salt – so much so that we vowed to return soon to enjoy them again (with more fruity drinks, of course). But that second order yielded wings with a shrimpy taste, clearly a result of a very indiscriminate fry station. Even the fries tasted like shrimp. What didn’t taste like shrimp was the shrimp in the so-so garlic noodles ($9.50). Another issue I had was that none of the straws (apart from the tamarind straws you can request for $1 more) or plastic cups here are plant-based. For a chain that goes through the quantity of drinks that Zero Degrees does, well, that’s just unconscionable. So if you’re going to be a regular, and there’s a good chance you will, get yourself one of their branded mason jars ($3) and bring your own metal straw. Short of that, you might want to give Zero Degrees the third degree. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

BOLAY

Fast-casual joint in Lake Nona (with more outposts to come in Winter Park and UCF) lets guests build beautiful guilt-free and gluten-free bowls of deliciousness. Chose from nine different bases (everything from black rice and orange-basil quinoa to Asian sweet potato noodles and kale), layer on cooked veggies like ginger broccoli and smoky cauliflower, add some meat, other add-ons and a sauce and have at it. Meats, btw, don’t suffer from the over-charring so often found at Chipotle. Open daily. 12711 Narcoossee Road, 407-627-1990; $

LA BOUCHERIE

French steakhouse chain makes its U.S. debut inside the Bay Hill Plaza, offering fare a cut above Outback, but not quite the level of a Ruth’s Chris. Steaks, naturally, are the focus, including cuts like rump steak, top sirloin and various ground steaks. The “maquignon” – a burger with hashbrowns acting as buns – is an ideal lunchtime option. For starters, consider escargots, foie gras or a seasonal terrine. For the steak-averse, traditional preparations of pot au feu and blanquette de veau will give you all the French feels. There are 12 dessert options to choose from. Open daily. 7625 Turkey Lake Road, 407-9301708; $$$

À LA CART

Inviting Milk District food truck park hosts five food trucks at an open-air pavilion with 15 rotating taps, surrounding a square patch of faux grass that acts as an informal beer garden. Brazilian steak, poke and Viet-Korean fare are offered every day, with Brazilian-style empanadas and SwedeDish’s Scandinavian offerings splitting a fourth spot. A fifth daily rotating vendor keeps things interesting. Open daily. 609 Irvington Ave., 407-776-4693; $$

STASIO’S ITALIAN DELI

It’s not Eataly, but this Milk District gastronomia sells scores of Old Country finds, from cheeses and pastas to oils and flour. The cold case is chock-full of fresh-made sausages and antipasti, while the hot case showcases everything from stuffed pork chops to chicken San Remo. House-made bread and fresh meats yield superb sandwiches, though don’t overlook strombolis and definitely don’t overlook the pastries – flaky, cream-filled sfogliatelle are outstanding. Closed Sundays. 210 N. Bumby Ave., 407-277-7755; $$

BLENDED CAFÉ BAR

Cavernous College Park café offers a selection of pan-Asian handhelds, namely bao, dumping, pockets and bánh mì. Empanada-like pockets couldn’t be more gratifying, and the bao (filled with everything from lemongrass-teriyaki beef to crispy jackfruit) are undeniable draws. Don’t leave without sampling a bubble waffle and some blended tea. Closed Monday. 2306 Edgewater Drive, 407-8689836; $

INAY’S KITCHEN

The women jockeying the stoves at Inay’s Kitchen deliver a brand-new food experience to those of us not versed in Filipino cooking. Thick, hearty stews are brightened up with expert use of vinegar, and pork and chicken skewers are lacquered with sauce and grilled until the sauce becomes candy – add a third flavor layer with a dip in that vinegar again. The takeoutfriendly Inay’s can be hard to find on a dimly lit road in Ocoee, but persevere; it’s worth the search. 1097 S. Clarke Road, Ocoee, 407-601-2126; $

SELAM ETHIOPIAN & ERITREAN CUISINE

The city’s second Ethiopian restaurant offers diners another option to get handsy with their food. Of note is an explosive doro wat, a thick crimson stew reddened by the addition of berbere, a potent powdered spice blend and staple of Ethiopian cooking. Tear off pieces of spongy injera and enjoy. Ye beg tibs (a sauté of lamb) and raw beef kitfo heavily essenced with cardamom are two others to pay heed to. There are plenty of options for veg diners. Pair it all with tej, a sweet honey mead beverage. Open daily. 5494 Central Florida Parkway, 407-590-4571; $$

BEM BOM ON CORRINE

Lengthy delays and cost overruns aside, Bem Bom’s brick-and-mortar operation in Audubon Park has become a true destination. Diners come for the Portuguese, Mexican and Mexiguese fare, particularly succulent and well-spiced chicken piri piri, grilled chouriço, fiery carnitas tacos, center-cut salted cod, and tender carne asada with chimichurri. Items are being added to the menu with each passing week, so be on the lookout for grilled sardines with cabbage curtido and pastel de bacalhau. Closed Monday. 3101 Corrine Drive, 407960-5101; $$

THE H CUISINE

Turkish steakhouse has a flair for tableside theatrics à la Salt Bae, but there’s no denying the quality cuts and showstopping preparations, be it a 28-day dry-aged, bone-in ribeye or luscious “chateau filet” for two finished in a butterpooled hot plate. Steak tartare blended with bone marrow starts things off in a properly beefy manner, though a salad of goat cheese, walnuts and pomegranatestudded vinaigrette is just as gratifying. Strozzapreti finished inside a flaming Parmesan wheel fuses gusto with gimmick. Don’t overlook the intriguing Turkish desserts. Open daily. 7512 Dr. Phillips Blvd., 407-930-3020; $$$$ n

dedication to their craft, but it’s their hair and makeup that complete the illusion. Still, they never degenerate into mimicry. They simply are Laurel and Hardy. Yet the film also has room for three memorable supporting performances: Shirley Henderson as Hardy’s doting wife, Nina Arianda as Laurel’s headstrong spouse and Rufus Jones as a selfish, money-obsessed tour promoter. But even he, upon seeing Laurel and Hardy perform, is obliged to confess what I too was thinking while watching Coogan and Reilly: “It’s moments like this that make me love this industry. Madness. Beautiful madness.” The oddest aspects of Stan & Ollie are – spoiler alert! – the exaggeration of a professional feud from the late 1930s and a reimagining of the end of the 1954 tour. Regarding the latter revisionism, if the script had stuck to reality, the duo’s career would have finished abruptly in Plymouth, England, after Hardy’s health declined. But, to paraphrase a passage from Joe Wright’s Atonement: What sense of hope or satisfaction could viewers derive from an ending like that? So, instead, the film gives them what they lost out on in life. I’d like to think this isn’t weakness or evasion, but a final act of kindness. Considering the 106 films and infinite joy they brought to their audiences over a 34-year career together, they earned it. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

ON SCREENS IN ORLANDO

Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway in Serenity

BY ST EVE SCHN EID ER

OPENING THIS WEEK: Cold War Director Pawel Pawlikowski won the Best Director award at Cannes for this blackand-white portrait of the love affair between a vocalist (Joanna Kulig) and a composer (Tomasz Kot) that begins in Poland in the 1940s and ends up spanning two decades. Pawlikowski says he based the couple in part on his own parents, but the movie has been getting equal plaudits for its depiction of life in the Soviet era. How tough were things back then? Pretty tough, apparently. Even if you were an up-and-coming singer with a promising career in front of you, you still had to sleep on a Kot. (R; tentatively scheduled to open Friday at Enzian Theater, Maitland) The Kid Who Would Be King Attack the Block’s Joe Cornish directs a young-adult take on Arthurian legendry, with a modern-day British kid discovering it’s his destiny to form a new Knights of the Round Table. Patrick Stewart plays Merlin, while the title role is filled by Andy Serkis’ kid, Louis Ashbourne Serkis (who must be hoping this flick makes him a household name in his own right, so he doesn’t have to listen to any more paparazzi whispering “Isn’t that Precious?”). (PG) Serenity What would you do if your exwife approached you about killing her new husband? Would you run to the cops, or would

you instead salute her for her clear and fervent desire to Kondo the crap out of her personal life? That’s the quandary facing Matthew McConaughey in this thriller. And if he says yes to the scheme, only to get caught, he can always tell the judge that he didn’t commit premeditated homicide to be cool. He didn’t do it to make a statement. He just liked it. (PG-13)

ALSO PLAYING: Burning The Florida Film Critics Circle (including our own Cameron Meier) named Steven Yeun the best supporting actor of 2018 for his performance as one-third of a romantic triangle in this Korean-made mystery. And let me tell ya, winning an award like that can do great things for a guy’s Korea. Nyuk nyuk. (NR; playing through Thursday at Enzian Theater, Maitland) Canal Street Set If Beale Street Could Talk on a different street in a different city (Chicago) and add a layer of Christian proselytizing, and maybe you’d come up with something like this wannabe-inspirational drama, in which a father fights to clear his son of killing a white classmate. His novel legal strategy: proving Matthew McConaughey did it. Thank you, Jesus; thank you, Lord. (PG-13; playing at Regal Waterford Lakes Stadium 20 & IMAX)

STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS Emo stalwarts Joyce Manor are growing up alongside their fans BY IDA V. ESKAMANI

ike the Cure did in the 1980s for melancholy young goths and altrockers, Joyce Manor soundtracked the formative years of sensitive millennial punk and hardcore fans all over the United States. And even though their fans’ musical tastes have perhaps mellowed over the years, the band still draws them back in with each new album, alongside new generations of circle-pitting teens. It all began on a whim just over a decade ago. In 2008, Joyce Manor co-founder and lead vocalist Barry Johnson got a call asking if his band could open a show. The only problem was that Johnson’s band had just broken up. Not letting that minor detail deter him, Johnson did what any hungry musician would do: He said yes and made one up on the spot, calling it Joyce Manor, borrowing the name from an apartment complex across the street. Johnson and guitarist Chase Knobbe formed what was at first an acoustic punk duo, then eventually recruited a bassist and drummer, and slowly but surely carved an indelible space within the emo revival movement and the oh-so-tormented hearts of their fans. As 2019 dawns and Johnson looks back over his band’s run with Orlando Weekly, he credits the group’s perseverance to their gradual growth. “You gotta understand, we

have never had a record that’s been super popular at first,” says Johnson. He then went on to name every one of their records in chronological order (including their 2018 release, Million Dollars to Kill Me) and emphasized how at first listen, nobody liked them. “First record came out it did OK … second record, nobody liked it when it came out,” says Johnson. “Never Hungover Again, you know a lot of people didn’t like it; Cody, a lot of people didn’t like it.” Joyce Manor didn’t follow the traditional trajectory of rock stardom. They are not radio favorites, nor have they had a breakout record. For Joyce Manor it’s been an enduring, organic growth fueled by the internet and word of mouth, and it’s been largely on their own terms. “We’ve still done the same thing we’ve always done,” Johnson affirms, “made the kind of records we want to make.” Their fifth full-length, Million Dollars to Kill Me, continues the band’s musical evolution: more power-pop in execution, yet still emo in spirit. According to Johnson, it’s a sound they’ve been refining since 2014’s Never Hungover Again, with greater emphasis on Knobbe’s guitar leads and with new drummer Pat Ware in tow. Johnson’s urgent, nasal croon narrates the many nuances of the human experience. Whereas past records have emphasized the trials and

tribulations of growing up, Million Dollars to Kill Me is Joyce Manor a decade on. Broken relationships, money, self-doubt, burnout and an abiding hope for an elusive happy ending take center stage on this album. It’s in these nuances that Johnson feels Joyce Manor finds their strength, in sound and ethos. Joyce Manor keeps each record to 10 songs, 20 minutes long; it’s a selfimposed restriction that challenges the band to play with all possible variations and limitations. “I think that’s just the mark of adulthood too,” Johnson says. “Your feelings are not as black and white, not everything is the end of the world, you feel multiple ways about the same situation.” When asked to describe Million Dollars to Kill Me, Johnson pauses for a moment, then responds, “triumphant, but also defeated.” Johnson is still shocked Joyce Manor can fill venues the size of the Beacham. “Hopefully we can continue that,” he says, “or if it’s been slow in growth, hopefully it’s slow in decline.” Yes, this is an unequivocally emo response. But it’s also human. Joyce Manor formed out of necessity; we would argue they’re still making music for the same reason. We need music that speaks to these universal characteristics and contradictions of the human experience. As the conversation draws to a close, Johnson reflects on what advice he would give to the 2008 version of himself, when he first formed the band: “Yo, don’t drink so much. Don’t drink Four Loko and shit, cause you kinda act insane when you’re that drunk.” Listen to your elders. music@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

This week, Mills Avenue fires on

all pistons and a young MC rises with an old-school soul.

GRUMPY’S AND UNCLE LOU’S, JAN. 13

I’ve noted before the connective potential of Grumpy’s Underground Lounge as another link on the crucial live music strip of Mills Avenue. Well, this recent night was a prime glimpse of the 1000 block when all its stages are lit up. At the Will’s Pub complex, a buzzing crowd overflowed onto all the outside patios for the Tim Barry and Cory Branan concert. With their own separate shows happening side by side, the street-side patios of Grumpy’s and Uncle Lou’s felt like a blended sidewalk party unto itself. Oh look, real street life in Orlando. And this night had the kind of density and variety of action that’s now possible on this stretch. Beginning at Grumpy’s were Red Rodeo, a new local band that features Wet Nurse’s Nina Chaplin on drums. They’re raw, tough and full-tilt. And they’re looking to upend the patriarchy. This is the sound and face of punk rock at its timeliest. Next door at Uncle Lou’s, Michigan’s She/Her/Hers put up their own confrontation to the old guard. Although this vehicle for Emma Grrrl deals in pop- and folk-punk, it too defies the usual expectations of those subgenres and even punk music in general. Her music is tender and beautiful in unexpected ways with trumpet flourishes and some piano songs. But don’t mistake the lyrical and expressive vulnerability – She/Her/Hers is an open defiance to the masculine, heteronorma-

With separate shows happening side by side, the street-side patios of Grumpy’s and Uncle Lou’s felt like a blended sidewalk party. Oh look, real street life in Orlando tive paradigm. Power to that. Following was DeLand’s Bryan Raymond. With a résumé heavy with sterling metal credits like Junior Bruce and Hope and Suicide, his solo work is a Steve Von Till-like turn. His loner folk songs are stripped and direct, mining soul from life’s personal struggles. Although Raymond’s unique case involves very real brushes with mortality in a bad 2015 motorcycle accident, the vein is universal when he traces his scars with plain honesty. It’s a miracle he’s alive, let alone playing music again. And his solo material reflects that journey without varnish or affectation. Back at Grumpy’s, the opposite end of the sonic spectrum was being pushed by Atlanta’s Solar Flower, a very heavy psych band that rocks with the girth and tonnage of metal. The height and crush of their ten-ton riffs prove that this young band is to be taken seriously. Spin their brand-new album You Are and you’ll hear one of the most promising heavy psych bands to come along in some time. Blowing the lid off the night was Karborätor, an Orlando band whose overdriven, road-scorching convergence of hardcore and metal makes Motörhead

sound friendly by comparison. Live, they’re a grimy blast of maximum petrol punk. Viva Mills Avenue.

NONAME, THE BEACHAM, JAN. 17

Chicago rapper Noname is rising fast. Though evident in the size of the Orlando crowd that received the budding artist, the surer testament to her heat was their intensity. And she met it with a big show. A velvet union of hip-hop, jazz and R&B, Noname’s sound rolls like a sharpened Ladybug Mecca with more agility, more gears and the Midas lyrical touch of a poet. Though she’s got palpable buzz and currency right now, her music is an old-school type of organic and not at all emblematic of our ADHD internet times. Rather than the typical rap show, Noname’s jazzy penchant was consummated live with a lush four-player band. On record, she moves between rap and song as if they were natural extensions of each other, yin and yang. Some of that upclose personality, versatility and virtuosity, however, was a little lost in the grandness and sprawl of her stage arrangement, which also included three backup singers who did the melodic heavy lifting. With corps and production that were better to look at than to actually hear, the performance would’ve benefited greatly from shifting the focus from the presentation back to the artist herself. But no question, Noname’s got the goods, the ambition and the momentum. And at this rate, she’s on the fast track to making sweet irony of her self-effacing name. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Death Stair, Material Body MUSIC

It’s a night of new dark body music from the swamps of the Big Easy as solo projects Death Stair and Material Body descend on Stonewall’s Panic! for a one-off date. Aaron Bell’s Death Stair is already garnering healthy buzz for such a young project, and it’s no mystery why. Death Stair’s sound is lean and insistent, not a note wasted, and it’s a superlative balance of gothic anguish and gleaming techno grooves. Sharpeyed local underground dwellers will recognize Material Body from a show just over a year ago at Anime Fun Shop, and their alter ego Divorce Ring has played the City Beautiful a number of times. Material Body’s relentless analog grooves hammer their point home beautifully. This one’s ideal for the goth elders and the new wavers alike. – Matthew Moyer 9 p.m. | Stonewall Bar, 741 W.

Parramore Farmers Market Opening EVENTS

The Parramore Farmers Market is making its longawaited return this weekend at a whole new location. The market has moved from outside the Orlando City Stadium to a friendlier parking lot with a lot more shade owned by the Florida Department of Health on Central Boulevard. Now a year-round venture, the Parramore Farmers Market will be run by youth from the Parramore Kidz Zone – the same kids who captured our hearts with their delicious nonprofit startup, Black Bee Honey. More than 30 local vendors will be here selling fresh fruits and vegetables, and customers can buy fresh foods using their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) card. – Monivette Cordeiro 10 a.m.-2 p.m. | Florida Department of Health, 832 W.

OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST EVENTS THIS WEEK

Two giants of the Americana scene join forces at the Plaza this week: Lucinda Williams and Drive-By Truckers. Williams, one of the most respected living songwriters, has proven her mettle at writing in a variety of genres, including last year’s collaboration with jazz saxophonist Charles Lloyd, Vanished Gardens. Georgia’s Drive-By Truckers, known for infusing Southern rock with creative storytelling and humor, went all-in on the contemporary political divide on 2016’s American Band, resulting in one of the most vital albums of their career. The two are pairing up for a string of shows before and after the fourth annual Outlaw Country Cruise, making this engagement a bargain in comparison. – Thaddeus McCollum

Heritage Day EVENTS

Back in the frontier days when Florida was a wild, poisonous hellscape that only the brave and/or stupid bothered to settle, someone with a penchant for accuracy decided to call this area Mosquito County. But on Jan. 27, 1845, just a few months before Florida was admitted to the union, the area got renamed to the much more appealing Orange County. In celebration of the 174th anniversary of that olden-days equivalent of renaming your Instagram account, Orange County Regional History Center is inviting everyone over for a day of free admission and family-friendly activities. You can join a scavenger hunt or learn about the mosquito plagues, but be sure to take a look at the exhibits while you’re there to connect with the weird, wonderful history of Central Florida. – TM noon-5 p.m. | Orange County Regional History Center, 65 E.

Mayhem on Mills III SPORTS

PHOTO BY MATTHEW MOYER

Does another numbingly bad three-hour episode of WWE Raw have you, the discerning wrestling fan, glumly pouting, “That’s it! I can’t take any more!”? Well, take heart because the regional indie wrestling scene is popping off, what with True Vision Dojo, Atomic Pro, USA Pro, IWA and even the heavily hyped All Elite. But maybe you like your wrestling a little more, um, grungy and rude? Then this third edition of Mayhem on Mills is for you. Following closely on the heels of an October event that saw a member of the Ugly Ducklings jump off the roof of Will’s Pub and onto his prone opponent in the ring, and Drennen casually tossed into a coffin to end his match, this Sunday promises more of the same punk-infused wrestling carnage, and then some. We’re particularly excited to see Puerto Rican lucha madman Serpentico square off against no less than Teddy Stigma. The afternoon will be capped off by live sets from Trampoline Team and Psience. – MM 3 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave. | willspub.org | $15

NFL Pro Bowl SPORTS

For professional football fans, the mention of certain players’ names gets the blood flowing. Names like Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey and Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley – they’ll all be in Orlando this week for the 2019 NFCAFC Pro Bowl. Some folks might even call this game a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, because chances are you’ll never witness this high caliber of players on a football field again. That is, until next year’s Pro Bowl. So come out to Camping World Stadium for your own modern-day rendition of a gladiator battle, and be entertained. – Xander Peters 3 p.m. | Camping World Stadium, 1 Citrus Bowl Place | campingworldstadium.com | $33-$752

This week, L.A.’s Hi I’m Ghost promotes the fest with a show at Wall Street Plaza’s Shine. Their trademark “spooky riddim” is an interesting fit for a bar not usually associated with dance music – or dancing in general – but at least there’ll be moonshine-soaked cherries. 10 p.m. Thursday; Shine, 25 Wall St.; free-$10; asteriamusicfestival.com.

Overwatch Burlesque Blizzard Software’s arena shooter Overwatch is one of the most popular online games of the decade, only (debatably) overshadowed by the ubiquitous Fortnite. One advantage Overwatch has over the battle royale shooter is the vast selection of playable characters. And this weekend, you can see some of those characters get as nekkid as legally possible (in an establishment that serves alcohol) when Speakeasy Sirens, a cosplay burlesque troupe, takes the stage at the Geek Easy to perform routines featuring D.Va, Widowmaker, Soldier 76 and other favorite characters.

‘SELF PORTRAIT ASLEEP WITH CREATURES,’ LAWRENCE LEBDUSKA

FRIDAY, JAN. 25

Louis Dewis: A Belgian Post-Impressionist The Unbridled Paintings of Lawrence Lebduska ART

Pearls were clutched and lattes spit-taked last week when word leaked that Orlando Museum of Art was considering moving to Lake Nona. Without claiming any inside knowledge of the situation, we have to say this seems … unlikely. (It’s a move straight out of the junior-high queen bee playbook: not feeling appreciated? Threaten to leave the party so everyone begs you to stay.) Besides, if OMA left the Loch Haven Cultural Park, we could no longer enjoy delightfully synergistic events like tonight’s twomuseum, one-ticket deal. Louis Dewis: A Belgian Post-Impressionist opens Friday at OMA and so does The Unbridled Paintings of Lawrence Lebduska at the Mennello, just across the green (a free shuttle bus is available for those who disdain the trek). Squint like Ferris Bueller at Dewis’ hazy, Corot-influenced landscapes, then bask in the life force radiating from Lebduska’s surreal American dreamscapes, all for just $10. That’s a double-header worth appreciating. – Jessica Bryce Young 6:30-8 p.m. | Orlando Museum of Art, 2416 N. Mills Ave.; Mennello Museum of American Art, 900 E.

JAN. 23-29, 2019 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

B Y D A N S AVA G E

I’m an early-30s hetero woman in a monogamous relationship with my mid-30s hetero guy. We’ve been together 10 years, married seven, no kids. We have a lot of fun – traveling, shared hobbies, mutual friends, etc. We have sex fairly regularly, and it’s not bad. However, his primary sexual fetish and main turn-on is furry porn – namely, cartoon images. He doesn’t self-identify as a furry; he doesn’t have a fursuit or fursona. To his credit, he was up front about this with me once we started getting serious. However, I think at that younger age, I conflated the emotional openness and acceptance of his sexuality with actually being satisfied with the sexual component of our relationship. He seems only marginally attracted to me, and it bums me out that his more intense sexual drives are funneled into furry porn. I feel somewhat helpless, as his fetish doesn’t allow me to meet him halfway. Real-life furry action (fursuits and the like) does not interest him (I’ve offered). We have sex regularly, but I always initiate, and his enthusiasm is middling until we get going, at which point I think we both enjoy ourselves. But I’ve found that this turns into a negative feedback loop, where his lack of initial interest leads to me being less attracted to him, and so on. I consider myself a fairly sexual person and I get a lot of pleasure out of being desired. We’re talking about starting a family, and I’m scared that the pressures that come with parenthood would only make this worse. Fretting Under Relationship Shortcomings Nothing I write is going to fix this – and nothing I write is going to fix him, FURS, not that your husband is broken. He is who he is, and he had the decency to let you know who he was before you married him. But nothing I write is going to put you at the center of your husband’s erotic inner life. Nothing I write is going to inspire him to initiate more (or at all) or cause him to be more enthusiastic about sex. Nothing I write is going to make your husband want you the way you want to be wanted, desire you the way you want to be desired, and fuck you the way you want to be fucked. So the question you need to ask yourself before you make babies with this man – the question I would have urged you to ask yourself before you married this man – is whether you can live without the pleasure you get from being desired. Is that the price of admission you’re willing to pay to be with this man? Maybe it once was, but is it still? Because if monogamy is what you want or what he wants or what you both want, FURS, then choosing to be with this man – choosing to be with someone you enjoy spending time with, who’s “not bad” at sex, whose most passionate erotic interests direct him away from you – means going 46

without the pleasure of being wanted the way you want to be wanted, desired the way you want to be desired, and fucked the way you want to be fucked. Your husband was up front with you about his sexuality before you got married. Everyone should be, of course, but so few people are – particularly people who have been made to feel ashamed of their sexuality or their fetishes or both – that we’re inclined to heap praise on people who manage to clear what should be a low bar. At the time, you mistook “emotional openness” and your willingness to accept his sexuality for both sexual compatibility and sexual satisfaction. I think you owe it to yourself to be up front with your husband before you have kids. He’s getting a good deal here – decent sex with the wife and the freedom to take care of needs his wife can’t meet. And you’re free to ask for a similar deal – decent sex with your husband and the freedom to take care of needs your husband can’t meet. There’s a far greater degree of risk involved in you going outside the relationship to feel desired, of course; you seeing another man or men comes bundled with emotional and physical risks that wanking to furry porn does not. This isn’t an apples-to-apples comparison. But if your shared goal as a couple is mutual sexual fulfillment – and that should be every couple’s goal – and if you want to avoid becoming so frustrated that you make a conscious decision to end your marriage (or a subconscious decision to sabotage it), FURS, then opening up the relationship needs to be a part of the discussion. Please discuss cuckolding in all its forms. Also all of the emotional risks and potential sexual rewards. A Potential Cuckoldress It would take two years’ worth of columns – even more – to discuss cuckolding in all its forms, unpack all the risks and game out all the potential rewards. Since I can’t possibly do that, APC, I’m going to send you to “Keys and Anklets” (keysandanklets.com), a terrific podcast dedicated to “the cuckold and hotwife lifestyle.” The host, Michael C., is engaging, funny and wise, and his interviews with cuck couples and bulls are incredibly illuminating. If you’re considering entering into a cuckold relationship, you’ll definitely want to start listening to “Keys and Anklets.” I’m a 20-something woman engaged to a wonderful 20-something man. I’m the kinky one. I’ve dabbled in BDSM and definitely have a taste for pain and degradation. My boyfriend, meanwhile, considers himself a feminist and struggles with degrading me. I’ve been very patient and settled for very vanilla sex for a couple of years now. However, every

now and then, he’ll joke about peeing on me when we shower together. I’m curious about watersports and would totally give it a try! I’ve tried to get more information from him on where these jokes are coming from, but he always changes the subject. And recently when I tried to make a joke back, I said the absolute wrong thing: “OK, R. Kelly, settle down.” This was right before we watched Surviving R. Kelly. I’m afraid that joke may have sent any potential watersports play down the toilet. (Pun intended!) Any advice on how to get him to open up next time he makes one of these jokes? Wants A Totally Exciting Relationship You might want to reread the first letter in this week’s column, WATER, and then dig into the Savage Love archives and check out the thousands of letters I’ve responded to from people who failed to establish basic sexual compatibility before marrying their partners. Settling down requires some settling for, of course, and everyone winds up paying the price of admission. But sexual compatibility is something you want to establish before the wedding, not after. At the very least, WATER, don’t marry a man to whom you can’t make simple observations about sex and ask simple questions about sex. Like this statement/question/ statement combo: “You joke about peeing on me, and I want to know if you would actually like to pee on me, because I would like to be peed on.” Pissing on you doesn’t make him R. Kelly, a man who has been credibly accused of raping underage girls and sexually and emotionally abusing – even imprisoning – adult women. If R. Kelly had raped numerous women and girls in the missionary position, WATER, all the other men out there who enjoy sex in the missionary position don’t become rapists by default. Where there is consent – enthusiastic consent – then it, whatever it is (missionary position sex, peeing on a partner), isn’t abusive. Sex play involving pain or degradation often requires more detailed conversations about consent, of course, but jokes and hints are a shitty way to negotiate consent for any kind of sex. Always go with unambiguous statements (“I would like to be peed on”) and direct questions (“Would you like to pee on me?”).
