SCREEN REVIEW

Violette Looking at Violette, it’s easy to forget the endless pitfalls possible when making a biopic. Largely, that’s because writer and director Martin Provost smartly didn’t make one. Instead, he follows his subject, author Violette Leduc, in drawing from life to make something slightly other, without going so far as to seem unreal. What’s left is an affecting, incisive film about an artist’s struggle that manages to avoid most of the anxieties of an audience when hearing that a film portrays an artist’s struggle. Provost approaches Leduc (Emmanuelle Devos) sidelong, separating the film into chapters, both a stylistic cue and a reminder of the remove of constructing a story from a life. Her influence is taken as given. Instead of biography, we get a character, presented with both fondness and honesty. Her overwhelming neuroticism and her faltering, cringing attempts to express affection sit easily alongside the ruthless observations she slings at her peers and her knotted relationship with her mother. While there’s little actual writing—brief mentions, occasional quotes and talk of demoralizing sales stand in for a legacy assumed to be common knowledge—the pressure of money on art is an ever-present antagonist. Even Simone de Beauvoir (Sandrine Kiberlain), whom Leduc idolizes, must face the chasm of class that separates them just as acutely as their disparate feelings. The movie hinges on the two women at its center and finds its engine in its leading ladies. Kiberlain is a perfectly poised, quietly conflicted de Beauvoir, but Devos is Violette’s unquestioned weapon. Leduc is a woman unaware of her own power, but Devos offers an earnestness and frankness that makes Violette a force of nature, a landscape the camera devotedly explores. It’s a fitting focus for a movie about a passionate woman who’s still surprised to find she matters. (Genevieve Valentine) REVIEW

Wish I Was Here Zach Braff ’s Garden State was an indie wisp of a movie that managed to be just solid enough to justify its soundtrack. The soundtrack is back in force on his Kickstarted sophomore effort, but there’s little else to recommend in Wish I Was Here, which ends up somewhere between a hundred-minute trailer for an even longer movie—heaven preserve us—and the heartfelt manipulation of a Liberty Mutual commercial. And heartfelt it certainly is. The movie, written by Braff and his brother Adam, relentlessly sympathizes with the struggling actor whose religious-schooled children are right out of Winsome Youngster central casting, whose wife (Kate Hudson) is too stressed for sex, whose brother (Josh Gad) is a genius burnout, and whose father (Mandy Patinkin) is in the final stages of cancer. Dialogue is liberally peppered with portentous topic sentences designed to make you think deeply about life; if you’re not affected yet, the tunes that underscore nearly everything should help you decide whether things are inspiring or maudlin. Either of those are preferable to the humor, which hopes for subversive and often just skews iffy. Aidan (Braff ) isn’t allowed to audition for a part because they’ve “gone African-American” and pretends his daughter has cancer to score a ride in an Aston Martin. It’s all the more frustrating given how many in the cast are trying to rise above what they’ve been given: Joey King as Braff ’s daughter, Gad, and even Hudson have their moments. On rare occasions, the film even succeeds at tugging the heartstrings (if Mandy Patinkin’s choking back tears, so are you). But there’s tugging at and then there’s being hamstrung, and with flat, overblown moments building to a way-too-neat ending; Wish I Was Here just leaves you feeling a whole lot of nothing at all. (G.V.)

Please Excuse the Mess Films like Violette are welcome reminders that there’s often beauty to be found in chaos. By Genevieve Valentine // feedback@philadelphiaweekly.com

atching Violette felt almost traitorously enjoyable, considering the often-grim circumstances and wrenching hardships Violette Leduc endures, including time spent in a hospital. It isn’t the first time director Martin Provost has brought into focus an overshadowed artist; he explored similar, sadder ground in Séraphine. But Violette, a slightly stylized biopic of the French author, ends at a place of contentment and promise, and, along the way, manages to be sympathetic without being sycophantic, presenting a woman whose disregard is wielded like a weapon. With Leduc almost always on the brink of poverty, the movie highlights the class issues at work between Leduc and her patron Simone de Beauvoir without leaning on them as shorthand for her disarray. Instead, it’s in her dogged tactlessness and intensely hopeless romantic obsessions that Leduc enjoys being at loose ends. And she does enjoy it. In the hands of Emmanuelle Devos, there’s a sharp pride even in her most awkward moments, as if having cast aside social expectations has opened up a supernatural force of personality. And the more she enjoyed it— wallowing in unrequited love for de Beauvoir, snapping at a bookshop owner that this Leduc person might be going places if only her book was in stock—the more I did, too. This Violette Leduc is a mess. And it’s kind of great. It’s also not singular—if you’re looking outside the American studio system. Within it, you’ll have a harder time. Women in studio movies experienced a brief, vibrant post-Hays Code revival inhabited by sharp-edged, fascinating characters, but in recent years, the almost punitive homogeny of the studio blockbuster formula has made well-written women so scarce a celluloid commodity that artist Alison Bechdel introduced the Bechdel test. It determines, on a three-point scale, if a movie has two women in it who speak to each other about something other than a man. It’s increasingly becoming a cultural touchstone, alongside spin-offs the Racial Bechdel and the Mako Mori test, named after the Pacific Rim character, which determines whether a woman has a central character arc not reliant on romance with a man. These tests are, of course, not an end-all judgment of a film’s overall quality, but they do a bang-up job of drawing attention to the rarity of these dynamics in American studio movies. In Violette, for example, two of Leduc’s central arcs are her prickly relationships with her mother and Simone de Beauvoir; her arc is full and complicated. I thought a lot about Violette while watching Wish I Was Here, in which Kate Hudson has the unenviable task of being Zach Braff ’s supportive movie wife. She supports his dream of acting, but not enough to overcome her own workday stress and have sex. He tells her she seemed happiest surfing, years ago; she’s touched he remembered, and the movie never touches the implication that life since has been a slow, depressive slide. While Braff ’s character is camping with the kids, Hudson’s dealing with a workplace harasser. (The movie’s solution? Braff confronts the

Who’s that lady: Emmanuelle Devos plays French author Violette Leduc in Martin Provost’s latest, Violette.

guy in question, gets punched, and has the guy fired for harassment—ranked among the most tone-deaf, grating moments in a movie awash in them.) Hudson exchanges a handful of words with her preteen daughter, who’s consumed with Jewish law about women’s sexual modesty; otherwise, Hudson speaks exclusively to men. It would be one of the movie’s worst facets, except for how commonplace it is—and for the fact that Braff ’s indie funding produced just another studio role. Movies are awash in competent killjoys: wives who don’t approve of their husbands’ shenanigans, girlfriends demanding commitment, singletons who run a magazine in a single montage but just can’t seem to find love. When women get to play complicated characters, often that very messiness is the whole point. Awards are showered on performances regularly called “brave” for involving minimal makeup or aggression, as if either is a career risk. They stand out in their rarity. I’m often glad when a movie opens up like an antidote to the box-office staples. Amid Wish I Was Here and Sex Tape, movies like Violette remind us of the value of a no-nonsense, sympathetic, unapologetic mess. 

Play Nice, Bargain Hunters Mark Vevle’s got a few tips for when his fab Franklin Flea comes outside this weekend. By Kennedy Allen // kallen@philadelphiaweekly.com

hether you’re a collector trying to complete that doggone box set or someone who’s really into knickknacks, flea markets can be an undeniably appealing treasure trove of discoveries, full of nostalgia and miraculous, affordable finds of items both old and new. Sometimes, shrewd shoppers are lucky enough to find true gems—antiques and well-cared-for vintage furniture, stylish accessories from the recent past—each item rare in its own right. But what about those looking for such wares exclusively? Where does one go to find a picture frame made of refurbished wood from a local barn? For the discerning Philly bargain fiend, the Franklin Flea has long been marching to the beat of its own carefully-perserved drum. Boasting an enviable collection of vintage clothing, furniture, and jewelry, collectibles, antiques and a vast array of baked goods, this refreshing take on an old idea is slowly but surely becoming a local favorite. After the success of its previous location in the old Strawbridge’s building at 8th & Market, this massive shop-o-rama— the brainchild of Mark Vevle—is revolutionizing the way Philadelphians do flea markets. Their new take on popup retail is a monthly event, featuring anywhere from 40 to 60 vendors selling the cream of the secondhand crop. This Saturday, marks the open-air debut for the Franklin Flea, taking full advantage of the summer weather and enabling this curated collection the opportunity to attract even more curious shoppers. PW has a recent with Vevle, who briefly discussed the attraction of his passion. PW: To the best of your knowledge, where did the term “flea market” come from? MARK VEVLE: The origin of the term is debated, but my guess is that we borrowed it from the French, whose famed markets got the moniker “marché aux puces” from the upholstered furniture sold at the markets that were sometimes flea-infested. Happy to report we’re flea free! When was the first time you realized these markets held an interest for you? I got my first taste of flea markets when I was a little boy growing up in Minnesota. Our summers were spent at a lake cabin and making a stop at the rural markets, and garage sales—as we call them in the Midwest—was a popular sport for my family. It’s a great way to furnish a cabin! What are some of the do’s and don’ts of flea marketing? Do get into the booth and have a good look around. A lot of the vendors do a good job filling their booth and putting up im-

pressive displays, but that sometimes means you need to dig a little to have that happy accident of finding something you love and didn’t know you needed. Don’t hold a gab session with your long-lost friend in the booth blocking others from shopping. Do feel free to make an offer of a lower price—but don’t be insulting. Do indulge your impulse to buy that crazy-looking thing. Don’t walk away thinking it’ll be there later in the day. What are some of the more memorable items—good or bad, cool or gross—you’ve come across at flea markets? One of my vintage clothing vendors had a pretty amazing chastity belt for sale. We’ve had a few cool motorcycles make it to the market floor. We often see guys take a liking to anatomy posters, thinking they’re cool—which they are! But their girlfriend or wife sometimes puts their foot down because they think they’re gross. Who are some of the vendors discerning planners can expect to see at Franklin Flea? The market focuses on vintage, antiques and collectibles, and the following are some vendors that represent this range well: Hoof & Antler, Vintage Cid and Stuff2DAY. Clothing and jewelry features great finds like Coast to Coast Mobile Vintage in a special appearance, Greatest Friend, and The Captain’s Vintage. Occasionally, we offer up exceptional new/handmade vendors, some good examples of which are Enliven, which sells beautiful planters for your front stoop or back yard; Cuttalossa and Olliver soy candles. Our food program really speaks to summer, with some new and old favorites: Luke’s Lobster, for example. To me, lobster, crab and shrimp rolls always say summer. Hocks N Coqs, which is new to the market, selling jars of pickled peppers, tomato jam (my fave), and their own cooked chicken and pork sausages to eat while you shop. Milk + Sugar were a hit at our holiday market, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have them back. And Peddler Coffee is making their debut at the market, slinging cold brew coffee beverages. What’s in the future for the Franklin Flea? This year is a building year for the market, we’re still pretty young. This September, we’re excited to be partnering with PHS for a big market at the Navy Yard. We’ll keep trying out various venues, frequency, and flourishes like music until we find a rhythm and location that feels like the sweet spot.  Sat, July 19th, 10am. Gen. George A.

PURPLEVANIA by Randy LoBasso rlobasso@philadelphiaweekly.com

Smoke and Mirrors A cigarette tax might be necessary to help pay to keep schools running this year—but it’s a plan that’s doomed to long-term failure.

The Philly government’s PSAs will tell you to stop smoking—but if you do, you’re literally taking money away from the city’s children. Talk about a mixed message. But a regressive tax on a product on the decline—partially because of said taxes—is no a way to fund a school district. The actual, obvious answer here is a school funding formula that would make sure the state’s public school students, teachers and staff aren’t treated as political pawns each June. Pennsylvania is one of just three states in which such a formula is not law, so when the full-time legislature debates its yearly budget, education is fair game to be put on the chopping block. Add to that the decision partially being made by politicians receiving donations from, and being lobbied by, anti-teachers’ union groups—like Americans for Prosperity, among others, who’ve discouraged increased school funding on the principle that graduation rates are low—and you end up with a school budget pieced together through reliance on, of all things, smoke. Somehow, that seems depressingly appropriate. 

2 0 1 4 I p h i l a d e l p h i a w e e k ly 2 3

But keep in mind: This is just the tax we’re talking about. It’d exist right there alongside a massive, ongoing, nationwide

anti-smoking education campaign; a well-organized city public health apparatus; a young, national universal healthcare system that discourages smoking; the Smoke Free Philly campaign; an already naturally declining smoking population and the new market competition of electronic and vapor cigarettes, which are not part of the Philly tax. All of that means one thing: Whether the tax is “temporary” or not—it’s only temporary. Nothing indicates cigarette smoking is going anywhere but down—the only unanswered question is: how far? Plus, the Philly government is heading to find itself in the odd situation of using tax dollars to discourage smoking, while relying on smokers to fund one of its most basic human rights. Their PSAs will tell you to stop—but if you do, you’re literally taking money away from the city’s children. Talk about a mixed message. This isn’t to say short-term revenue sources like this one aren’t needed to keep the schools running. When they’re all we have, they are.

j u ly 1 6 - 2 3

Philadelphia has one of the highest rates of adult smoking and obesity in the U.S., according to a 2014 Community Health Assessment study. That’s bad. But the past 10 years have seen a 15 percent reduction in adult smoking. The government claims its educational and advertorial efforts deserve the credit for that. Today, just 23.3 percent of Philadelphians smoke. This is higher than the 18 percent national average, but actually the smallest percentage the state has seen since smoking data has been tallied. The declining rate is a nationwide trend that’s has seen massive victories over the last decade, the most obvious of which are indoor (and some outdoor) smoking bans. To put those numbers into some perspective for the sake of the tax, 23.3 percent of butt-sucking Philadelphians comes out to about 281,548 total smokers, if you’re to use the 2013 Philadelphia county census estimate (1,553,165), and the percentage of adults over 18 (77.8). Rough estimates say the average U.S. smoker smokes 13 to 16 cigarettes per day—less than a pack, which holds 20 cigarettes. So, the average smoker is buying between four and six packs per week. For the sake of argument, let’s say Philadelphia’s smokers

buy five packs per week. That means, if the bill passed, each of Philly’s 281,548 smokers would be shelling out an extra $520 per year to get their fix. Total new yearly tax revenue: $146,404,960. Problem solved? Nope. And not just because schools superintendent William Hite has noted it would actually take $216 million to continue the district’s already-insufficient, broken funding levels. Or because Philadelphia officials estimate revenue will be about half of my estimate when all is said and done. Or because the new revenue would be scheduled to cease after 2018. Rather, it’s because when taxes are put on cigarettes, they do their job really well. Before this current debate began on using cigarette (or soda) tax funds for schools, big cities proposed such taxes because, they said, it was good for us—because it would discourage those purchases. Tax vices, they say, and there will be less vice. And for once, they are actually correct. When a $2-per-pack tax was debated in the Pennsylvania state legislature last year, Dr. Mark Stehr, a professor of business at Drexel University, conducted a study that concluded an increase would lead to 8,000 fewer smokers in the city. Over the long term, that could add up—which may be where the official yearly estimate of $83 million comes from—and, indeed, local smokers are already taking note of this new potential tax on the horizon. “I’d stop smoking,” says a SEPTA transit worker who declined to give her name, on a smoke break in Center City. “I’m not paying more.” A colleague, also on a smoke break, agrees. “That’s why I quit smoking in New York,” he adds with a laugh. He means New York City, where a state excise tax of $4.35 per pack of cigarettes is supplemented by a $1.50 city excise tax, adding a total of $5.85 to each pack of cigarette sold in the Big Apple. In much of the city, packs are about $15, and the most recent data show the percentage of smokers at 14 percent. Of 15 random smokers approached for this story, those two were the only ones who outright declared they’d quit entirely rather than paying more. But everyone interviewed had a plan to handle the increased expense. “I’ve already switched brands,” says one woman, on break near 15th and Market in Center City. “I was smoking Marlboros, now I’m buying American Gold [which is regularly cheaper].” A smoker for some 30 years, she said, the upcoming tax may be thing that finally drives her to quit. But she can’t say for sure. Same goes for Melodi Arroyo, 29, a dental assistant in Center City. “I want to quit,” she says, “so maybe this’ll motivate me a little more. But, personally, I don’t know.” No one I spoke to said they’d be willing to travel out of the city to buy their cigarettes. And only one smoker, Biranne Gallagher, 24, an office administrator, said it’d have no effect whatsoever. “I like smoking,” she said. “I enjoy it, and I’m addicted to it.” She’ll pay the $2.

p h i l a d e l p h i a w e e k l y. c o m I

he eternally burning question: How do we find the money to keep Philly’s collapsing schools running after the Corbett administration’s budget cuts? The most recent answer: Let’s add a Philly-only cigarette tax and use that new money. If only it were that easy. After more than a year of debate, a $2-per-pack tax on cigarettes passed the House this spring, passed the Senate (twice) and has received verbal support from Gov. Tom Corbett. All this is vital; local governments can only raise such taxes if they have the state’s support. Things seemed swell until Mon., July 7, when the GOP majority decided to amend the bill, again, to put a five-year time limit on the tax. That idea passed with the help of five Philly-area lawmakers—which means, in true Keystone Kops fashion, the bill now has to go back to the House for final approval before it can then reach Corbett’s desk. Problem: Now the House has taken off for summer break. While they’ve scheduled a single special session for Aug. 4, when they’ll likely consider this legislation, that doesn’t mean it’s a done deal. Mayor Nutter has said that not implementing the cigarette tax could cost Philly schools 1,300 jobs, including teachers, nurses and counselors. To be precise: Delaying the tax’s implementation beyond the projected Sept. 1 start date will cost schools about $1.6 million per week. Not implementing it at all would put the opening of Philly’s schools for the 2014-2015 year at risk. The tax, it would seem, is an absolute have-to. But here’s the thing: A cigarette tax will still not be enough to save our schools. Not by a long shot. To understand why, we only need to look at the Philadelphia Health Department’s own numbers and motivations.

THE UNCOMFORTABLE WHOLE by Josh Kruger jkruger@philadelphiaweekly.com

Taking It Easy That’s what our state legislature is doing this summer, while the rest of us are busy working.

n Pennsylvania, life is good if you’re a state legislator. Not only do you get all sorts of perks and privileges like a car and swank offices, but you also get to go on summer vacation. Oh, sorry—did I say vacation? I meant recess. Which is what it’s called when the legislature stops meeting for three months. Which is totally different. Did I mention that, on top of their $84,000 salary, legislators also get to collect a per diem of up to $159 in expenses any day they claim to be working—no receipts required? Must be nice; most of us have to pay for our own meals and travel. And the health and pension benefits! Hot damn. I can barely even afford to pay for Obamacare. I’m not alone, of course. While our elected officials in Harrisburg spend their time stifling one another’s attempts to accomplish anything worthwhile, their constituents back home are busy paying their bills, sending their children to crumbling schools—and, if they’re LGBT, getting discriminated against in all parts of the state. The more we keep getting the shaft, the more justified I feel in calling them all assholes. Here’s what’s been going on in the state capitol lately: Our legislators seem to have become obsessed with sex. Literally, that is, not just their usual figurative interest in screwing us over. They’ve been very busy passing bills to crack down on sex trafficking and revenge porn—which is great, but you know, what ever happened to priorities like passing a budget that will do anything whatsoever to spur economic development in the state? Because they’re not doing that. Just look at their bizarre mollycoddling of the oil and natural gas industry. It’s one thing for the GOP-dominated legislature to encourage energy companies to extract resources from underneath state parks now, but to do it without taxing those companies for it like every other state in the U.S. does? I can’t tell whether our representatives are morally bankrupt or intellectually impaired. Then, of course, there’s the fact that Republican obstructionists have been delaying HB300, which would prohibit discrimination against LGBT folks. Now that gay marriage is legal here in the Keystone state, the absence of this kind of anti-discrimination law is leading to some outright absurdities: One wedding venue near Scranton, for instance, is refusing to marry same-sex couples, and a budget inn up the street is now advertising

that they’ll do same-sex weddings as a marketing ploy against the other place. Hey, at least opportunistic American capitalism is still intact, whether our legislators are worried about discrimination or not! To add insult to injury, these politicians— “full-time” legislators in a state that lets them take the summer off—then express consternation that the state a great many of them have presided over for decades is in financial disarray. What’s particularly odd is that Harrisburg legislators, who talk a good game against big government, themselves act like they’re in liberal California when it’s convenient for them to do so. It’s awfully disingenuous to embody some of the worst aspects of a nanny state— a bloated, useless, overpaid government— without even trying to balance that with any of the progressive-populist goals that would normally accompany an oversized American bureaucracy, like, you know, laws to shore up equality or economic opportunity. Republicans in Harrisburg might toe the Tea Party line out loud, but meanwhile they’re sustaining big government so they can get paid for their bloviations that accomplish next to nothing. Pennsylvania and California have little in common, of course. California is our country’s barrier along the Pacific border, famous for beautiful weather, mountains, deserts, America’s gay mecca and plastic people in Los Angeles. It’s also a newcomer to the United States, having received statehood in 1850, while Pennsylvania is O.G.—that’s original government, yo, part of the original 13 British colonies that formed America in the first place in 1787. Pennsylvania has a population hovering around 13 million, California has a population of nearly 40 million. Californians have protections in place preventing anti-gay discrimination; here in Pennsylvania, we’ve none. Yet we do have some common ground with California: Our legislatures are approximately the same size and get roughly the same salaries. This makes sense if you’re a lunatic or a politician living in Pennsylvania. It makes no sense if you’re anyone else in the known universe. As a reminder, Harrisburg Republicans, youze guys have been the ones legislating. Not President Obama, not the Democrats, not the Illuminati, not anyone else. You and you alone. For years. Have a great vay-cay, Harrisburg! Nobody likes you. 

SAVAGE LOVE By Dan Savage // mail@savagelove.net Two questions, Dan: 1. Recently, I went to a bar with my brother and encountered a friend from high school. My brother told me that, toward the end of the night, my friend followed him into the bathroom and made a drunken pass at him (which apparently involved a clumsy grab at his penis). My inclination is to ignore the issue. If my friend is closeted or bi-curious, I feel like it isn’t my place to force the issue and I should respect his privacy. Advice? 2. My bisexual girlfriend wants to take me to a gay bar. I’m not worried about being hit on, but I feel like hanging out at a gay club would be somewhat dishonest and touristy. Is my apprehension warranted? Basic Respect Offered Sincerely 1. If your drunken, closeted friend had shown some respect, BROS, and managed to make a drunkenbut-respectful pass at your brother, then I could endorse respecting your friend’s privacy in turn. But your friend cornered your brother in a toilet and grabbed his cock. That’s not OK, and someone needs to make it clear to your friend that there are consequences for behaving like that—outing himself to you as gay or bi and an asshole was the consequence this time, BROS, but someone needs to tell him that he could wind up assaulted and/or facing sexual-assault charges if the drunken cockgrabbing continues. 2. Most gay men don’t mind seeing girls with their boyfriends in gay dance/party bars and clubs, BROS, but girls and unavailable/apprehensive straight boys ruin the vibe in darker, sleazier gay pickup joints. So stick to the party palaces (dance floors and drag shows), avoid the pickup joints (hard rock and trough urinals) and you’ll be fine.

Bodybuilders grease themselves up with baby oil— which gets all over everything and requires frequent

A lot of kink and fetish events and parties are not sex-friendly—it is standard to meet someone at one of these things to get tied up and smacked around while still remaining within the bounds of one’s marriage vows as far as anything below the belt is concerned. But if you are going to an event that is promoted as “sex-friendly,” and you have arranged to meet someone there for, say, an extended rope bondage session, how do you broach the issue of being “out of commission” for sex but still happy to get tied up? It’s not like going out for dinner with someone, where what’s happening in the nethers is entirely irrelevant. It seems rude to string someone along (ha!), but I’m not sure what to do. New To Kink Scenes Use your words, NTKS. Whether a kink party you’re attending is sex-friendly or not, you should tell your play partners in advance that you’re only up for bondage and kink play. For many serious kinksters, bondage and kink play is sex, and not being able to access your nethers won’t be an issue. You should make your limits clear before you play with anyone in any context—someone who takes you to a nointercourse-allowed play party might be expecting to take you home for sex afterward—and decline to play with anyone who balks. 

My fiancé and I recently shared some kinks, but we’re having trouble making one of his happen: He wants to see me oiled up and glistening. Do you have any idea what we ought to be using to get a glossy, oiled-up look that lasts? He’d also like to see me in a shiny catsuit made of latex. Wants To Shine P.S. A latex catsuit is out because we’re poor students and can’t afford one!

It’s also possible that this woman works in a department store and does a little escorting on the side to make ends meet, NAJ. Not all sex workers do sex work full-time, and most full-time sex workers would regard “willing to date guys who contact me via my escort ad” as the mark of either a novice or an endsmeeter. She already knows that you’re OK with her doing sex work—you did contact her via her escort ad—but if you want to let her know that you don’t have a problem with her doing escort work, bring it up and tell her. But don’t assume that she lied to you about working in a department store, NAJ, because she most likely didn’t.

WEEKLY SPECIALS:

J U LY 1 6 - 2 3

Your boyfriend has been “with” his dog for nine years, NHG, and he’s been with you for only seven months. Considering his rocky track record with other human females, it’s understandable that he might be less self-conscious about showing affection for his dependable old dog than for his brandnew girlfriend. You don’t mention what he’s doing for his dog that he doesn’t do for you (Table scraps? Belly rubs? Shock collars?), NHG, but the longer you “wait around,” the more demonstrably affectionate your boyfriend is likely to become. But I can’t imagine he’ll want you around at all if you continue to waste time and energy being jealous of his dog.

I saw an ad for an escort who was quite possibly the hottest woman I’ve ever seen. But instead of asking for a session, I offered to take her out to dinner instead. After all, escorts can have boyfriends, too. She agreed to the date, and we had a lot of fun. During the meal, she asked me what I did for a living, and I told her. I then asked if she liked what she did for a living, and she responded that she just worked in a department store. Most escorts are pretty subtle in their ads—they don’t come out and say, “I’ll have sex with you for money”—so she may think I’m innocent enough not to have realized that she’s an escort. Or she knows I know but didn’t want to mention it. Either way, we’ve been on a few dates since, and at some point, I’d like to tell her that I know and I’m OK with it. Should I? Not A John

I suspect my boyfriend of seven months loves his 9-year-old dog more than me. I am 54 and divorced twice. He is 57 and has been divorced three times. I am jealous of the way he treats and talks to his dog. I have even told him so. Is it worth my time and energy to wait around for my boyfriend to start treating me better?

reapplication. But there’s a less messy way to achieve the super-shiny look that turns your boyfriend on: Google “shiny zentai suit” and “metallic zentai suit,” and you’ll find dozens of websites that sell catsuits made out of Lycra, not latex, which are easier to put on than latex catsuits, far easier to clean and a hell of a lot cheaper. At Zentaizone.com, just one of many sites, you’ll find dozens of different zentai suits for less than $50, with some less than $25. Even a poor student could afford a couple of those.
