I feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done the other things Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve wanted to do already. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been pretty fortunate to be able to have a couple fun and successful careers prior to this.

But . . . if I had to choose something entirely different Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to be a travel writerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;simply to have an excuse to travel all the time ;) EVOb R] g]c R] W\ g]c` T`SS bW[S-

OCO CHANEL once commented that â&#x20AC;&#x153;in order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different.â&#x20AC;? A handful of local boutiques seem to have taken her immortal advice to heart. In defiance of the mass marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dictates, one-ofa-kind clothing stores are popping up across the county, each with a singular stylistic DNA. Small labels, locally crafted fashions and even carefully curated recycled accessories are their stock in trade. One noteworthy newcomer, Stripe, celebrates its oneyear anniversary this month; others, like Cameron Marks, Tom Teifer, Pacific Trading Company and too many others to do justice to here, have been at it for years, aesthetic outposts on the fashion frontier.

In this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fashion issueâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;featuring photographs by Dina Scoppettone, and interviews with soon-to-be-famous treasure hunters and entrepreneurs in organic styleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;we propose that small is beautiful, different is good and Coco was right. ¨ !

Twistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handbag expert is getting attention

W

HEN Lara Marotta decided to open Twist last summer, â&#x20AC;&#x153;with no money and Facebook,â&#x20AC;? it was all about the clothes. In the Pacific Avenue storefront where she used to run Galla Cabana before selling it several years ago, her concept for a high-end consignment store stocked with designer labels began to take shape. Sophisticated Ralph Lauren dresses and Gucci jackets would hang next to playful Free People sweaters and shimmering Bebe halter tops, carefully chosen fashion pieces at a fraction of the original price.

Then Marotta met Carolyn Bowers.

And now, in addition to impeccably stylish consignment clothing in excellent condition, Twist is winning a following for its huge collection of preowned designer handbags. At its Aug. 1 opening, the store had one display of bags by designers like Kate Spade, Coach and Gucci as well as midmarket brands like LeSportsac and Landâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s End. Now it has five. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 90 percent of my business,â&#x20AC;? says Marotta, sounding a little awestruck.

Bowers waves away praise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It works out well for everyone,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing a good thing. All women love bags. Even if they just like to carry a shopping tote.â&#x20AC;?

Her humility notwithstanding, Bowers is Twistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secret weapon, a onewoman treasure-hunting operation with satchels, hobos and clutches as the booty. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s understandably coy about her techniques, which include both online sleuthing and real-world digging, but the fact is her expertise canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be replicated. What started as a hobby six years ago with the purchase of a silver compact that turned out to be a valuable antique has become almost a sixth sense for quality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like when I felt this, I just knew,â&#x20AC;?

Bowers says, touching the impossibly supple leather of a pale green Bottega Veneta hobo. New, it fetched in the neighborhood of $1,200; here itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priced at $400. Similarly, an understated but unusual satchel turned out to be a handpainted Goyard, a French luggage maker

tdppqt!vq!b!qsf.pxofe!Kvjdz!Dpvuvsf! tbudifm!gspn!Uxjtu/

similar to Louis Vuitton but harder to find. It goes on like that, shelf after shelf of gems rescued and restored.

A huge part of Bowersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; job is detecting inauthenticityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and that gets harder and harder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredible,â&#x20AC;? she says, shaking her head, when asked about the quality of knock-offs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are AAA-quality replicas. They use good leather, good hardware, everything.â&#x20AC;?

It takes all of Bowersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; encyclopedic knowledge about zippers, liners and certification tag patterns to filter out the frauds. Then she must clean the bags, very carefully, liners and all, using tools and products sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discovered over time.

The result is a candy case of good-quality accessories at all price points, from $10 to $700â&#x20AC;&#x201D;something everyone can appreciate.

To see more photos of handbags at Twist, go to http://news.santacruz.com and click on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Businessâ&#x20AC;? tab.

Globetrotting Style Synergy Clothing comes home to Santa Cruz

A

LOT has changed since Kate Fisher locked eyes with Henry Schwab at a Phish concert in 1997. She was a Deadhead peddling Indian textiles; he was a Greenpeace activist touring with Phishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nonprofit arm the Waterwheel Foundation. And yeah, yeahâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;they grew up, got married and had kids, but Fisherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing line Synergy grew up with them, culminating with her new downtown Santa Cruz storefront, Synergy Clothing, which opened in January. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started in our 20s and now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in our mid, late 30s. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re young families and young adults wanting to be eco-minded. People who are more willing to shop at Whole Foods or Staff of Life,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re growing up in that whole demographic thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been developing over the last 10 years.â&#x20AC;?

Fisher got her start at 21 on a vacation to India and Nepal in 1993, when she came back with a suitcase full of recycled silk saris, brocades and other textiles. Once she realized there was a market for the look, the native New Yorker designed contemporary, Western-style clothing, like spaghetti strap dresses, and had them sewn from the traditional cloth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An Indian woman would wear it in a marriage ceremony, then it came to a woman here in the States living her life.

I liked that idea of the cultural history of the fabric,â&#x20AC;? she says.

Synergy (named for the marriage of Eastern cloth and Western style) started in 1995 and rode the wave of bohemian chic that crested when the likes of Madonna and Gwen Stefani stuck bindis to their foreheads in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s. By then Fisher and Schwab were married and living in Santa Cruz, selling clothing at trade shows and concerts. The line hit a commercial high note with an order from Urban Outfitters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then it started to die out,â&#x20AC;? says Fisher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was less demand in the marketplace and I was starting to get bored with that motif.â&#x20AC;?

As she began exploring new ways to work with recycled materials, she learned more about organic cotton being grown in India. The concept meshed well with the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hippie roots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming from the world of environment nonprofits, working so long for Greenpeace, it was natural,â&#x20AC;? says Schwab. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our business is an extension of who we are.â&#x20AC;?

0G 83AA71/ :CAA3<6=>

The shift really took place after the birth of baby number one in 2006, when Schwab stepped up full-time to handle the business side of Synergy. The line split into three parts: Synergy, which still makes some items from recycled silks; Synergy Organic, a youthful line that includes T-shirts, screen prints and hand appliquĂŠs; and Kate Organic, a more upscale line of organic cotton dresses, pants and tops all sewn in the Bay Area. Everything is made with organic cotton, hemp and low-impact dyes. While Synergy Organic has a more junior vibe with birds, clouds and f lowers screenprinted on swingy, soft cotton garments, Kate Organic has a more classic essentials look. But they all share Fisherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basic inspiration and commitment to environmental ethics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess what inspires me are clothes that look good and are functional, that make a woman feel feminine but are easy to wear,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want someone to be able to throw on a dress and know she looks good. Puts on her shoes and is out the door.â&#x20AC;?

Fisher and Schwab opened their storefront on Walnut Street in the old Bay Photo location at what many might have considered an odd time economically.

But the company is very healthy, says Schwab, despite the economic downturn, having done about $1 million in sales in the last year. Synergy clothes are selling in 300 stores in 45 states. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ship to yoga studios, spas, health food stores, mom and pop boutiques,â&#x20AC;? says Schwabâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and they now look forward to expanding their retail location.

Between the addition of an accessories line, the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frequent trips to trade shows all over the country and the lineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing popularity in places like Belgium and Japan, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonder they find the time to come home to sleepy Santa Cruz. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the pulse of urban life,â&#x20AC;? explains Fisher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Santa Cruz has an easy life. I like the lifestyle.â&#x20AC;?

And that jet-set mind-set in a soft gauzy body comes through in the clothesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;another type of synergy. 0

?C33@ ?C33<A 7< B63 ?@CH LAUGHTER may not be able to pay your credit card bill, find you a job or bring back the heartbreaker who left you blubbering into your beer last week, but it sure has its way of putting things into perspective. The Queer Queens of Qomedy are like trained professionals when it comes to administering belly laughs and happy tears, and they are headed our way to lighten things up. Although â&#x20AC;&#x153;Qomedyâ&#x20AC;? may sound like an exclusive sort of humor, producer Poppy Champlin promises the straight folks an equal dose of the good stuff. The witty Champlin hosts the show and brings along two very funny sidekicks. Voted one of the top ten lesbian comics by Curve Magazine is the sassy Sandra Valls of The Latin Divas of Comedy and One Night Stand-Up. The third queen is Roxanne Ward, a piano-playing, parody-song-singing high school teacher who may just be the secret love child of Steve Martin and Bette Midler.

(Maria Grusauskas)

QUEER QUEENS OF QOMEDY perform Saturday, March 6, at 8pm at the Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. Tickets are $30 at Streetlight Records or Ticketweb.

The Matrix (R)

109 min.) Tim Burtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CGI-heavy take-off on the Lewis Carroll books about Alice has the smell of his other remakesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; gaudy, over-the-top and ultimately pointless. Can Johnny Depp dressed up like Carrot Top on acid save it? Probably not.

But letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appreciate it for giving Crispin Glover work. (Opens Fri at 41st Avenue, Santa Cruz 9, Scotts Valley 6 and Green Valley.) (SP) 0@==9:G<¸A 47<3AB

Film Capsules way! I did not see that coming. By the way, is there any person in the world whose story does not somehow intersect with every other person in the world? Cause thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my takeaway from this endless slew of popcorn flicks aspiring to Altmanness. Point of interest: one of the cops is Richard Gere. Oh, you know heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handling the prostitute beat! (Opens Fri at Santa Cruz 9 and Green Valley.) (SP)

involved in horrible deeds. Mayhem ensues.

Hmm, why would Polanski think authority figures are out to get artist types? Must be a coincidence. (Opens Fri at the Del Mar.) (SP) B63 ;/B@7F (1999)

and Savannah Curtis (Amanda Seyfried), a well-off college girl who lives by the beach in South Carolina. She is a good girl who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smoke and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sleep around.

Despite the good breeding, upon the first kiss with Tatum, she wraps her legs around him like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a brass stripper pole. Tyree begs Savannah to wait for her while his tour of duty ends. Then Sept. 11 strikes: a choice between his country and Amanda Seyfried.

(PG-13; 95 min.) Lone Scherfigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s British coming-of-age film ends with a marathon session of tea brewing, but it has its good points. The look is coolâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;1960ish England may be more interesting than the full-blown and overexposed later â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s.

Twickenham-raised Jenny (Carey Mulligan) is studying for Oxford when she gets picked up by David (Peter Sarsgaard), a slightly older rotter; his slightly cruel eyes and flat smile forecast trouble to come.

Until then, Jenny gets to see London high life and nightclubs, and voyages to Paris.

Smelling class, and wanting to make their hard-working daughter happy, Jennyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents (Cara Seymour, Alfred Molina) relax the leash.

And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the young girl learns how David makes his money without working days.

Mulligan is charming, the meet-cute is deft and Olivia Williams bears all the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spine as a deliberately drabbeddown English teacher.

Nick Hornby screenplay from the Lynn Barber memoir. (RvB) 47A6 B/<9 (123 min.)

A stunning, small-camera exploration of a romance between an adult (Michael Fassbender)

and a 15-year-old girl (Katie Jarvis) staged in a no-hope housing project in Essex, England.

Director Andrea Arnold is a fiendishly persuasive director, and she makes you see things from Miaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s view. The film is the furthest thing from a slumming expedition; we can see past Essexâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rubbish heaps, junkyards and tired-looking houses into something wildâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; particularly at the plotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s climax at the Thames estuary, where the land ends as abruptly as if it had been chewed away by a steam shovel. The finale is where this little film gets big: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like the end of a Romantic novel when the elements are brought in to witness the emotional states of the characters on a windy fen or the banks of churning water.

Arnold observes the raw hedonism and willfulness that makes a poor life bearable. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rare when a director who is so sensitive, who has such a sure eye and ear, can understand the bliss of a hard party.

(R; 138 min.) The soldiers of Bravo Company are stationed in Baghdad for the 2004 fighting.

Central to the film is the mystery of Staff Sgt. James (Jeremy Renner) who comes in to replace a slaughtered demolition expert. Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; risk-taking amazes and angers his subordinate, Sgt. Sanborn (Anthony Mackie). The suspenseful, grimly funny script is by co-producer Mark Boal.

Renner is outstanding as the inhumanly brave demolition expert. Director Kathryn Bigelow does what Howard Hawks would do; she finds the cooperation between men of great competence in a killing trade, rather than pumping up rivalry.

Bigelow breaks through the sense of anonymity that characterizes most Iraq war movies, where helmeted men move alike and talk the same terse slang. (RvB)

Despite the various stops and starts he has had adapting the Cervantes classic, Gilliam repeatedly makes films about fantasy as an escape from a cruel world. The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus has Christopher Plummer in the Man of la Mancha role this time, with Verne Troyer as Percy, a dwarf Sancho Panza.

Plummer plays Doctor Parnassus, an immortal sage reduced to busking in a horse-drawn Gypsy wagon. He and his crew set up their stand in the streets of modern-day London, trying to lure patrons in to a world beyond the doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mirror. On board is his daughter, who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that she has been promised to the devil on her 16th birthday; Mr. Nick (Tom Waits) is sniffing around already.

During their travels, the group rescues a hanged man named Tony (an irresolute Heath Ledger).

Certainly, Gilliamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for antique theater is trueâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;although the greasepaint and cardboard make one wonder why he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stage this story instead of filming it. (RvB) B63 :/AB AB/B7=<

(R; 112 min.) Well cast, visually pleasant yet strangely toneless film about Tolstoyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last days. Around 1910 in Moscow, Valentin (James McAvoy) is recruited by Chertkov (Paul Giamatti), who is dedicated to carrying out the authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reformist ideas regarding celibacy and manual labor.

Valentin will live on Tolstoyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commune and record the great manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thoughts. Tolstoy (Christopher Plummer) is enjoying a sort of Indian summer, watching his minifarm bloom and receiving the adulation of the world. But the countâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s countessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Sofya, his wife of nearly 50 years, played

(PG-13; 128 min.) Sherlock Holmes is ripping fun.

Robert Downey Jr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expert acting reflects William Blakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thought that if you could open the doors of perception, you would see the world as it is: infinite.

This insight sums up the mind of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest detectiveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it also sums up the mind of a schizophrenic.

Downeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Holmes is a dandy in high Victorian regalia. But we also see another side of Holmesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a hermit crab in a dank flat, huddled under a silk dressing gown so raveled it looks shaggy as a bear skin. The movie keeps coming back to a serene partnershipâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;when Holmes says â&#x20AC;&#x153;The gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s afoot,â&#x20AC;?

(RvB) / A7<5:3 ;/< (R; 109 min.) Based on Christopher Isherwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early-1960s novel, canonical in gay literature but slightly dusty today. A British professor (Colin Firth) teaching in L.A. loses his longtime companion in a car accident and has decided he can no longer stand the pain. He finds some consolation with a hard-drinking old friend (and ex-lover) called Charley (Julianne Moore); on his route, he encounters young men who are both interesting and interested.

Noteworthy as a great comeback performance

by Firth, who has had much substandard work to deal with lately.

Firth plays George with sensitivity and grace, and a sense of the era that most of the performers here lack. Director Tom Ford shows his roots as a fashion designer, focusing on surfaces. The clothes donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the men. (RvB) C> 7< B63 /7@ (R; 109 min.) As the predatory Ryan Bingham, George Clooney delivers a startlingly good performance. Bingham is a hired terminatorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a man brought in to fire people; he tolerates this job with benefits of an executive life with plenty of travel. Enter a young, seemingly equally callous rival (Anna Kendrick). Having this inexperienced girl along interrupts Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regularly scheduled no-strings flings with a fellow constant business traveler, Alex (Vera Farmiga). The acrid first half is the best partâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Clooney makes us admire Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gamesmanship. The film wants us to equate two different kinds of toxicitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to draw a line between the corporate bloodletting that juices up stock portfolios and the wrongness of the present-tense sex life that Ryan and Alex enjoy.

Too bad that Farmiga

and Clooney are such a scintillating pair that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see them pay the piper. (RvB) B63 E67B3 @700=<

(R; 144 min.) In the insignificant village of Eichwald (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oakwoodâ&#x20AC;?), just before World War I, we hear a series of stories. These stories concern acts of violence that disturbed the orderly progression of the years. The events are narrated by an old man who was, long ago, the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vacant-looking schoolteacher (Christian Friedel). He advises us that everything we will see is based on things half-heard and halfremembered. We can take this ineffectual manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word for it. Clues pass him by, and he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide a solid resolution for the story. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to understand that Eichwald is poisoned, root and branch. The schoolteacher comments that what we see will help us understand â&#x20AC;&#x153;the events that came after.â&#x20AC;? By â&#x20AC;&#x153;the events,â&#x20AC;? director Michael Haneke may mean Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next 30 years after 1914.

Eichwald is a serpentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;segg hatchery: the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obedient children will be participants in the kaiserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s war and Hitlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crime wave. (RvB)

B63 E=:4;/< (R;

102 min.) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a perfect film, but The Wolfman is a loving remake, made by people who understood the romance, pathos and torment of the original 1941 film. This new animal has speed on his side, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more viscera flying around. In 1891, after the horrific death of his brother, the noted Shakespearean actor Lawrence Talbot (Benicio del Toro) returns home to his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mansion. This means a re-encounter with his estranged father Sir John (Anthony Hopkins). The town gossip has it that Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother was killed by a tame dancing bear owned by a band of Gypsies; when investigating on a moonlit night, Lawrence himself is nearly killed by the real culprit. The fiancĂŠ of the late brother (Emily Blunt) stays to nurse Lawrence back to health And when the next moon rises, well, you know. The Talbot scenes suggest Del Toro was cast for his resemblance to Lon Chaney Jr., with his clouded, thick features and his air of suffering.

We see the human under the fur. (RvB)

Astrology Free Will

By Rob Brezsny

For the week of March 3 /@73A (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19): To place yourself in smooth alignment with planetary rhythms, do conscientious work on the foundations of your life.

Take extra care of the people who take care of you.

Make sure you have a good supply of the various resources that keep you strong and steady. Check to see if maybe you need to rev up your emotional connection with the traditions you hold dear. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only half your horoscope, Aries. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the rest: Invite your most rambunctious playmates over for a raucous home-blessing ceremony.

B/C@CA (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20): Two-thirds of people surveyed said they would rather look good than feel good. I hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not one of them. The ironic fact of the matter is that if you put the emphasis on looking good in the coming weekâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;creating favorable impressions, acting dishonest in order to curry favor, wearing uncomfortable but attractive clothesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you will end up feeling sub-par and looking mediocre.

On the other hand, if you put the priority on feeling goodâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;treating your body like a beloved pet, seeking out encounters that nurture your secret self, and hanging out in environments that encourage you to relaxâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you will look good and feel good.

53;7<7 (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20): If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bogged down in the trance of the humdrum routine, astrology can open your mind and illuminate fascinating patterns that have been invisible to you. It can reveal the big picture of your life story, sweeping away the narrow ideas and shrunken expectations you have about yourself. And it can purge your imagination of its endless tape loops, awakening you to the power you have to create your own destiny. But reliance on horoscopes can also have downsides. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re superstitious, it might make you even more so. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re prone to be passive, believing that life is something that happens to you, it might further diminish your willpower. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why, as much as I love astrology, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m wary of its potential to deceive and lead astray. Is there anything comparable in your world, Gemini? Something that feeds and inspires you, but only if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re discerning about it? This is a good time to ratchet up your discernment.

believes it gives her abilities that non-autistic people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have. For example, her extreme sensitivity and extraordinary visual memory are at the root of her unique insights into the needs of animals. If there were an instant cure for her autism, she says, she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take it. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an advocate of neurodiversity.

Now hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my question for you, Libra: Do you have a supposed weakness or disability thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually an inherent part of one of your special talents? Celebrate and cultivate it this week.

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov. 21): Self-help author Barbara De Angelis wrote a book that offers to help us learn â&#x20AC;&#x153;how to make love all the time.â&#x20AC;? Maybe Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll read it someday, but right now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more interested in your take on the subject. How would you make loveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;not have sex, but make loveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;with your sandwich, with the music you listen to, with a vase of flowers, with the familiar strangers sitting in the cafe, with everything? Your expertise in this art is now at a peak.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec. 21): Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a good time to treat yourself like a beast of burden or to swamp yourself with dark, heavy thoughts.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re extra sensitive, Sagittariusâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as delicate and impressionable as a young poet in love with a dream of paradise. You need heaping doses of sweetness and unreasonable amounts of f luidic peace, smart listening, and radical empathy. If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get people to buoy your spirits and slip you delightful presents, do those things for yourself.

1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan. 19): In some of the newspapers that publish my horoscope column, my carefully wrought text is buried in the back pages amidst a jabbering hubbub of obscene advertisements for quasi-legal sexual services. For readers with refined sensibilities, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a problem. They do their best to avert their eyes, narrowing their focus down to a tight window. I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be wise to adopt a similar approach in the coming week, Capricorn. Only a small percentage of information coming your way will be truly useful to you, and it may often be embedded in a sparkly mess of distracting noise. Concentrate hard on getting just the essentials that you want so you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be misinformed and worn out by the rest.

1/<13@ (June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22): I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care whether you call it uncanny intuition or plain old telepathy: In the next three weeks, you will have unusually abundant access to that way of knowing. So please use it. Please call on it. It could steer you away from twisty wastes of time that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t serve your highest good. It might also allow you to ferret out disguised or hiding opportunities. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one catch: If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in them, your psychic powers wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work as well as they can. So I suggest you set aside any dogmatic skepticism you might have about them and proceed on the hypothesis that they are very real.

/?C/@7CA (Jan. 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb. 18): Do your own stunts, Aquarius. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t commandeer a stunt double to do them for you. Accept blame and claim credit that rightfully belong to you. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scare up scapegoats or tolerate plagiarists. It will also be a good idea to deliver your own messages and sing your own songs and kick your own butt. No surrogates or stand-ins, please. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just no way, you see, for you to get to where you need to go by having a substitute do the traveling for you. Your only hope of claiming the reward that will be crucial for the next chapter of your life story will be to do the work yourself.

:3= (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 22): Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poke around to see if we can stir up some good trouble, Leo. The time is right. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in need of a friendly disruption or two. Fortunately, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sensing thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a forbidden temptation that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so forbidden any longer . . . as well as a strange attractor you might find inspiring and a volatile teaching that would turn you insideout in a good way. Are you willing to wander into a previously off-limits area? Hey, look. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those mystery spots I was hinting about. I wonder what would happen if you pressed that green button.

Go ahead. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be . . . Gaaaahhhhh! Unnhhh!

Wha?! I mean WOW! That was very interesting. Try it again!

>7A13A (Feb. 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20): One of the best new bands of 2009 was the Girls. Spin magazine selected their debut CD Album as the fifth best album of the year. After touring for months and selling scads of records, the band came back home to San Francisco in February to do a sold-out show at the Great American Music Hall. For his on-stage apparel, lead singer Christopher Owens wore baggy orange f lannel pajama bottoms and a rumpled green f lannel shirt, proving that his new-found fame had not rendered him self-important or excessively dignified. I nominate Owens as your role model this week, Pisces.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see you move on up toward the next level in your chosen field of endeavor, even as you remain perfectly comfortable, full of casual grace, and at home in your excellence.

D7@5= (Aug. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sept. 22): You may be prone to overreaction. You could be on the verge of uncorking an excessive response to a modest prompt. On a regular basis, you should ask yourself: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are the feelings rising up in me truly appropriate for whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening now? Or are they mostly the eruption of material that I repressed in the past?â&#x20AC;? I also encourage you to consider Hoareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Law of Large Problems, which says that inside every large problem is a small problem scrambling to get out. Be alert for the possibility that minor adjustments will work better than epic struggles. :70@/ (Sept. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct. 22): Temple Grandin is a successful autistic person. Diagnosed at an early age, she nevertheless went on to earn a Ph.D. in Animal Science and became a bestselling author whose work has led to notable improvements in the humane treatment of livestock. Although she acknowledges that her autism has caused her problems, she also
