On Oct. 1, local chefs gathered for one night to celebrate, commemorate and raise money for Greensboro-based nonprofit, Triad Local First. This year marks the seventh annual COMMUNITY TABLE fundraiser, formed in part to celebrate local entrepreneurs and business owners.

Along with member organizations but most importantly, this event was held to fundraise for the upcoming fiscal year.

10 EDDIE MCLAURIN is two-faced— literally. Just spend an evening at his haunted attraction Woods of Terror and you’ll see what I mean. He patrols the haunts in a costume of his own creation.

His character name is Bone Daddy, and is a tall creature with spiked hair, and whose neck is adorned with a live boa constrictor.

11 As October is LGBTQ History Month, so it’s only fitting that the fourth annual “OUT AT THE MOVIES” International LGBT Film Festival, which is presented by BB&T and opens Oct. 5 with its biggest, most star-studded event yet.

12 Making a living as a musician often means a life of wandering. MDOU MOCTAR is a guitarist from Niger, the

desert country in north central Africa that borders Algeria, Mali, Chad, Libya, Burkina Faso, Nigeria and Benin. It’s a huge country, and its cultural connections extend in a web of different directions, like the ancient trade routes that traversed the desert...

19 Get your glitter on for WinstonSalem Theatre Alliance’s performance of PRISCILLA: QUEEN OF THE DESERT! Based on the Oscar-winning movie...

20 In 1973, tennis stars Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs squared off in a televised match that was known as the “Battle of the Sexes.” That historic event — and the hoopla and hysteria that surrounded it — forms the basis for the same-named BATTLE OF THE SEXES...

24 Over 200 years ago, a young man named Andreas Kremser lost his life in the Moravian town of Salem. After his death, a local ghost story emerged and he has never been forgotten. The story of The LITTLE RED MAN is one of the oldest and best-known in North Carolina lore. But what is the truth behind the legend?

[BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT] COPPER PENNY

BY JESSICA CLIFFORD Five months ago, the former general manager of Mellow Mushroom took a leap of faith into the world of retail. Margaret Dickerman, 29, now owns the newest location of Copper Penny in WinstonSalem, a high-end boutique based out of Charleston, South Carolina.

Though there are a few Copper Penny stores in the South, with some in North and South Carolina and one in Tennessee, all are unique with varying merchandise bought specially by each location’s owner.

Dickerman described the style selected for her Copper Penny store as, “Southern women with a little bit of edge.”

Dickerman’s location has just about everything from various designers such as shoes, clothing, accessories and jewelry.

Dickerman said all of her merchandise is under $300. Some of the best-selling items include formal dresses and black-tie wear; however, most shoppers enjoy the ability to shop everyday-wear for both mom and daughter in one place.

“We really focus on our customers and the service we provide them,” Dickerman said. “That sets us apart, especially in the

world of online shopping.”

Though Copper Penny is new to Winston-Salem, they are a big advocate for knowing the community and supporting local businesses around the Triad.

Dickerman’s major goal is, “building relationships with people, so they know our staff by name, and we know them by name. She added that this, “gives it that special local piece that a lot of businesses can’t offer.”

Due to some maintenance issues, Copper Penny has been closed for six weeks.

On Sept. 30, however, Copper Penny’s doors reopened and are back to regular business hours. To see what unique styles Dickerman has to offer, visit her at Copper Penny Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 6 p.m.

With the arrival of fall and cooler weather, it is a good idea to check out Copper Penny as soon as possible for the latest styles. To learn more, follow Copper Penny on Facebook and Instagram, @ copperpennywinstonsalem. !

Triad Community Table fundraiser showcases local culinary talent

I

magine an immaculate pastoral scene with a barn on a hill in the distance; Round bales of hay dot the countryside as tall blades of grass wave in a light breeze. The setting Nik Snacks sun beams on your @niksnacksonline face. The air is soft and smells sweet.

Soft rolls of laughter Contributor and hurried chatter pierce the air. The path leading to the main event in the barn is tree-lined with stringed lights ready to shine and dusk to make its presence known.

On Oct. 1, local chefs gathered for one night to celebrate, commemorate and raise money for Greensboro-based nonprofit, Triad Local First. This year marks the seventh annual Community Table fundraiser, formed in part to celebrate local entrepreneurs and business owners.

But most importantly, this event was held to fundraise for the upcoming fiscal year.

Triad Community Table is a plated dinner featuring local chefs, restaurateurs, distilleries, breweries, restaurants, farmers and artisans providing food, spirits and entertainment. Each year, the chefs are handpicked by board member, Mary Lacklen, to create a menu. The chef is in part charged with recruiting and creating their back-of-the-house team by asking a community of chefs and culinary colleagues to join in the communal fun. Part of Triad Local First’s mission is to build a strong local economy and a vibrant, unique community.

When asked about the importance of events like Community Table, Lacklen said, “Competitors standing shoulder to shoulder is an amazing thing to see. Food is about family and community. When you build something great, the people will come.”

While ticket holders were able to enjoy the evening dining by candlelight and being serenaded by local band, The Ends, the real main event was behind the barn where dozens of chefs and volunteers set up a temporary outdoor kitchen to feed over 100 guests. Community Table Chef Jay Pierce of Traveled Farmer in Greensboro was tapped last year. He played

sous chef to Chef Travis Myers of Willow’s Bistro in Winston-Salem in 2016. Next year’s Community Table chef-elect, James Patterson of Sedgefield Country Club was on hand to be sous chef and community leader alongside Pierce.

Myers commented to the crowd, “Not only are these people my competitors, they’re my best friends.” Autumn Meachum, assistant general manager Traveled Farmer plans for this single night began less than a year ago.

Meachum also coordinated the frontof-the-house volunteers, servers and food runners and they were all dressed in sleek denim aprons donated by VF Corporation.

Starlight Meadow Farm near Burling-

ton set the scene for the night’s festivity.

A cocktail hour featuring family-style plates from participating chefs included bruschetta, charcuterie platters, deviled eggs, spring rolls and mini crab cakes. On the table, to greet all of the guests were jarred items such as pickled radishes and

WWW.YESWEEKLY.COMW

WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

kimchi from Niki’s Pickles, made in Pilot Mountain alongside spreads of white pimiento cheese, potted meat (aka rillettes in certain culinary circles) and toasted bread rounds from The Fresh Market, both partners for the event.

The first course was a “Down East” fish muddle, featuring Farlow Farms tomatoes, Smith Farms field peas, potatoes, fresh thyme and a poached Massey Creek Farm egg. Servers circled around each table armed with ceramic teapots, pouring a fish broth into the waiting bowls of accouterments.

The second course was a palate cleanser of an Autumnal salad featuring Fair Share Farms mixed greens, Goat Lady Dairy chèvre, candied pecans, pickled ramp vinaigrette and roasted mushrooms that tasted like smoked bacon bits.

The third course was equally light with a twist of ingenuity: Hickory smoked red drum fish from LOCALS Seafood in Raleigh finished with a Piedmont-style barbecue sauce alongside family style tureens of Old Mill of Guilford grits and smothered greens that were smoked and rife with coins of sliced carrots and a rich, smoky potlikker. Chef Jay Pierce said he took a risk by preparing the fish this way.

“I had to wait until the proverbial last

minute to fire the fish,” he said. “All of the other chefs bought into the concept and agreed to the gamble.”

The denouement of the evening meal was a Carolina tiramisu served in small glass jars. Handmade ladyfingers soaked in organic espresso from Fortuna Coffee in Greensboro, Oak 8 Whiskey from Topo distillery in Chapel Hill, Marscarpone cheese, fresh whipped cream and dusted with cocoa powder.

All in all, the symphony of volunteers would not work without collaboration and friendship. As dessert came to a close, local business owners were recognized with awards and accolades. Triad Local First presented its Small Business Award to Scuppernong Books in Greensboro and Vibrancy Award to Mary Haglund of Mary’s Gourmet Diner in Winston-Salem.

Both businesses celebrate unique and vibrant community strides within the Triad community.

When it comes to events like these, there’s enough chicken skin for everyone to dig into and get a taste of the camaraderie. To make your own contribution to Triad Local First or to learn about other events in our area, visit www.triadlocalfirst.com. !

Woods of Terror owner is two-faced

ddie McLaurin is twofaced— literally. Just spend an evening at his haunted attraction Woods of Terror and you’ll see what I mean. He patrols the Jim Longworth haunts in a costume of his own creation.

His character name Contributor is Bone Daddy, and is a tall creature with spiked hair, and whose neck is adorned with a live boa constrictor. If McLaurin’s head is turned to the right, you’ll see Bone Daddy’s skeleton, but if he turns to the left, you’ll see the face of a dedicated businessman whose smile is infectious. You’ll see a face that has worn well throughout 26 grueling years of owning, operating, managing and upgrading Woods of Terror, which is perennially named one of the top haunts in the nation. You’ll see the face of community service, evidenced by, for example, his hosting of an annual fundraiser for breast cancer awareness called “Terror for Ta-Tas” (which takes place on Oct. 20 this year). You’ll see the face of economic impact, both in terms of the hundreds of people he employs, as well as the boost that Woods of Terror gives to local businesses each year.

I spoke with McLaurin and both of his faces when he visited Triad Today.

Longworth: You look scary when you’re in costume, but out of costume, you look normal.

McLaurin: I have two sides, the business side, and the scary side.

Longworth: So you’re bilingual as Barney Fife might say.

McLaurin: (laughs) Longworth: What’s the first Halloween costume you ever remember wearing?

McLaurin: I dressed up as The Crow, from the movie starring Bruce Lee’s son Brandon.

Longworth: What frightened you as a kid?

McLaurin: My father (laughs). He was a real disciplinarian, but he did right by me. No, probably my fondest memories

10 YES! WEEKLY

OCTOBER 4-10, 2017

Longworth: So it scared you?

McLaurin: Yeah, it was scary, I mean graves coming out of the ground, my goodness! And I didn’t get to watch a lot of horror movies as a kid, so that was my favorite scary memory.

Longworth: You’ve received a lot of national honors and recognition over the years. What makes Woods of Terror so special?

McLaurin: One thing is hard work. If you decide to work hard and you want to make something happen, it will happen. A lot of folks think this happened overnight, but it didn’t. I’m in my 26th season here.

Longworth: Well, you’re giving people a lot of scary memories now. Hey, I went behind the scenes at The Woods recently, and it was like watching a military invasion combined with a Broadway show opening. I was amazed at the amount of work that goes into your production, and the huge number of folks involved.

McLaurin: We have a hundred actors, and it takes almost another hundred for management, parking lot security midway and maintenance. It just takes a lot of people to get it right.

Longworth: You seem very committed to your work and to helping others. Who influenced your work ethic and community spirit?

McLaurin: Probably my grandparents because of their honesty and integrity, and the things they instilled in me. My Dad also taught me a lot about hard work. If I hadn’t been taught those things, Woods of Terror wouldn’t be open. It’s a big challenge to keep this place open.

It’s a lot of work, and it’s a year-round process, not just during Halloween.

Longworth: In addition to hiring hundreds of full and part-time employees, you also have a positive impact on the local economy, especially along Church street.

McLaurin: Yeah we do. The local store owners say their business goes up 35 percent when we’re open.

Longworth: I saw your Mom helping out too.

McLaurin: Yeah, my Mom is incredible, she manages my midway. I also want to say that it’s the people who make this work. From the maintenance staff, to the midway staff, to the actors, it’s all about the people. I couldn’t do it without them.

are of watching Poltergeist and seeing the clown coming after the girl.

Longworth: What new attractions do you have this season?

McLaurin: The biggest thing is our 3-D House, which has been totally redesigned.

We also have a huge calypso scene in the pirate section, and we have some other things in the Fun House that will shock everyone.

Longworth: You once told me that Woods of Terror isn’t for everyone.

McLaurin: We recommend 13 and under probably should not come unless they’ve seen all the horror movies and love it, but we don’t let kids 5 and under in at all. This is for adults, and it IS scary.

Longworth: I think I’m too young to go.

McLaurin: I think you’ll do alright (laughs). !

Mdou Moctar is a guitarist from Niger, the desert country in north central Africa that borders Algeria, John Adamian Mali, Chad, Libya, @johnradamian Burkina Faso, Nigeria and Benin. It’s a huge country, and its Contributor cultural connections extend in a web of different directions, like the ancient trade routes that traversed the desert connecting West Africa with Egypt, Ethiopia and ultimately the Arabian Peninsula and beyond. Moctar is a member of the Tuareg ethnic group, a traditionally nomadic people with populations in Niger and most of the surrounding countries, particularly Mali, and elsewhere. Moctar has done a fair bit of wandering, too; he’s lived in Algeria, Libya, and spent time in Nigeria as well. This fall finds the guitarist touring America for the first time. Triad residents have the opportunity to see Mdou Moctar when he plays Winston-Salem’s Monstercade on Oct. 11.

In recent years, Tuareg guitar music has been reaching Western listeners in waves. Bands and artists like Tinariwen,

OCTOBER 4-10, 2017

Etran Finatawa and Bombino, have introduced music fans to the hypnotic pleasures of loping rhythms, slithering guitar lines, raspy vocal styles, call-andresponse patterns and hypnotic drones of Tuareg music. Other artists like the great Malian guitarist Ali Farka Toure and, more recently, Songhoy Blues have popularized music from different ethnic groups but with similar and related styles and history.

Mdou Moctar is part of this tradition.

Much of this music gets labeled desert blues, as a sort of taxonomical shorthand that spans ethnic groups and national borders. The designation is complicated and potentially confusing. While the blues of the Mississippi Delta most certainly evolved from the aesthetics brought to America by enslaved Africans, in the same way, that musical styles continued to evolve and morph in North America based on migration, cross-cultural interaction, technological development and individual genius. One must understand that the same is true of music in Africa. The music being played in the remote desert today isn’t necessarily the same music that would have been played 400 years ago.

One of the things that have made the desert blues so fascinating to American ears is that this is music that has soaked up blues, rock and pop from the U.S. and Europe. It can sound strangely familiar and deeply exotic at the same time.

Many of these artists are fans of John Lee Hooker, Santana, Dire Straits, Jimi Hendrix and more recent popular music as

well. That sound filters into the recordings. In the case of Moctar’s music, there’s the guitar pyrotechnics, with flickering ornamental riffs, howling bent notes and stomping beats, but he’s also incorporated pitch-altering AutoTune technology that’s become popular in hip-hop and pop. (AutoTune has become widely used in the region due, in large part, to the attempts to emulate popular Bollywood soundtracks in the music for films in the prolific movie industry of northern Nigeria.)

Moctar’s music was very popular throughout parts of Niger and West Africa, but it’s come to the attention of nonAfrican audiences in large part through the efforts of Christopher Kirkley, who runs the Portland, Oregon-based label Sahel Sounds, which has released Moctar’s albums. Moctar was first featured on the label’s 2011 compilation “Music from Saharan Cellphones,” which brought attention to a whole emerging genre of digital/traditional music in West Africa.

Kirkley also helped make the 2015 movie Akounak Tedalat Taha Tazoughai, which is a sort of remake of the iconic Prince film Purple Rain set in the world of Tuareg guitar, starring Moctar, who also made the soundtrack recording. (The title translates to “rain the color blue with a little red in it,” since there’s no word for “purple” in the Tamasheq language.)

Moctar’s newest album, “Sousoume Tamachek,” just came out in September.

It was recorded in Portland, using a simple

studio set-up, with Moctar playing all the parts — guitars, calabash percussion, voice and backing vocals.

“He has a lot of older compositions that were never released, and they’re really beautiful songs, so I suggested to him that it would be nice to do some nice versions of them,” said Kirkley, who’s traveling with Moctar and his backing band, another guitarist and a drummer. I spoke with Kirkley recently as the group made its way from Minnesota to New York’s Hudson Valley.

The music that Moctar plays is often performed at weddings in Niger, but, because live music was somewhat discouraged in the religious part of the country where he lived, the guitarist practiced his playing at informal gatherings, such as picnics. This encouraged a slower, more subdued style, like that showcased on the recent record.

Kirkley, 37, started the label in 2011 after a few trips to West Africa, and he said he hopes that each project just fosters more curiosity and more creativity.

“It wasn’t ever intended to be a commercial venture, and I consider to be more of a long-term collective than a record label,” Kirkley said. “It’s about communicating ideas between cultures and playing with that. Each record is really just an opportunity to engage in that discussion.”

They’ve recently finished shooting another film, a sort of spaghetti western set in the African desert, with one of Moctar’s bandmates. The project fits into the label’s wide-frame ethos.

“At the core, it’s a conversation between these different cultures and how we can create art that can transcend that,” Kirkley said. “My interest is not just within music. I want the music to be an opportunity for other people to follow the same path of sort of dismantling exoticism and an opportunity to learn more about a place.”

See Mdou Moctar at Monstercade, located at 204 W. Acadia Ave., WinstonSalem, on Wednesday, Oct. 11, at 9 p.m.

John C. Wilson, Seph Schonekas, and Gray Smith star in Priscilla: Queen of the Desert at Theatre Alliance.

Theatre Alliance to perform Priscilla: Queen of the Desert Book by Stephen Elliott & Allan Scott Music and Lyrics by Various Artists Rated R for adult content.

Get your glitter on for Winston-Salem Theatre Alliance’s performance of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert! Based on the Oscar-winning movie, Priscilla: Queen of the Desert is a heartwarming, feel-good extravaganza featuring dance hits that span three decades and include: It’s Raining Men, I Love the Nightlife, I Will Survive, and more!

Priscilla: Queen of the Desert, follows the story of Tick, Adam, & Bernadette (two drag queens & a transgender woman) as they take their glamorous drag show on the road across the Australian outback. Their journey, on a battered old bus named Priscilla, will lead them to find more than they could have imagined in their search for love and friendship.

Critics around the world have praised Priscilla’s infectious musical heart beat: “Priscilla pushes all the same buttons as the movie did, only with more great tunes!” - Daily Telegraph, Australia “Plenty of classic pop and disco hits have been thrown into the heady mix of the familiar and the fantastic.” – Sunday Express (London) “Some of the greatest disco anthems ever to fill a dance floor.” - Daily Telegraph (London) In addition to the well-loved musical numbers, Priscilla: Queen of the Desert is also visually spectacular, featuring a dazWWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

The song remains the same: Two period films prove to be sadly topical

BY MATT BRUNSON

I

n 1973, tennis stars Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs squared off in a televised match that was known as the “Battle of the Sexes.” That historic event — and the hoopla and hysteria that surrounded it — forms the basis for the same-named Battle of the Sexes ( ), a highly engaging film that frequently keeps a light touch even as it tackles weighty subjects.

At the time, Billie Jean King (played by Emma Stone) was 29 and doing everything in her power to push for women’s rights, particularly when it came to the acceptance of female tennis players.

Naturally, the MRAs of the day fought against this, and they found a figurehead of sorts in 55-year-old Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell), who claimed that he could beat any female player in the world. Realizing it was just a publicity stunt, King declined to participate, but once Riggs made short work of top-ranked Margaret Court (Jessica McNamee), King had no choice but to accept the challenge.

The most surprising aspect regarding Battle of the Sexes is the relative sympathy it displays toward Riggs. As King herself notes, he’s just a clown (indeed, the two later became good friends), and his actions are depicted not so much as the result of some deep-seated chauvinism but rather because he realizes that, as an aged and over-the-hill player, this is his best opportunity to get back into the spotlight. Carell does a fine job of conveying both Riggs’ outward obnoxiousness and inner angst, while directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris and Oscarwinning scripter Simon Beaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire) are content to allow Bill Pullman to provide the villainy as sexist tennis head Jack Kramer.

As Billie Jean King, Stone delivers a remarkable performance, an amazing about-face from her Oscar-winning turn in last year’s La La Land. She nails all aspects of the role, from her professional rivalry with Riggs to her personal relationships with husband Larry King (Austin Stowell) and Marilyn Barnett (Andrea Riseborough), the latter responsible for allowing

King to finally acknowledge — and act upon — her long-dormant lesbianism.

It’s fitting that one of King’s sponsors was Virginia Slims, known for the slogan, “You’ve come a long way, baby.” The veracity of that statement is up for debate in 2017 when reptilian Republican politicians continue to clamp down on women’s rights and a repellent chauvinist pig (and, lest we forget, accused rapist) occupies the White House. Fortunately, movies like Battle of the Sexes exist to continue to show the way toward a better tomorrow.

WHEW, that was close. Just when it seemed as if we had lost Tom Cruise to the ranks of paycheck-cashing automatons no longer interested in applying themselves on screen (see: Anthony Hopkins, Nicolas Cage), along comes American Made ( ) to show there’s still some life left in the maverick actor. After the ego-boosting but audience-snoozing duo of The Mummy and Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, there were certainly no guarantees.

A caffeinated Cruise storms his way through this fact-based yarn focusing on Barry Seal, a TWA pilot who’s recruited by the CIA (repped by Domhnall Gleeson as cheerful agent Monty Schafer) to partake in reconnaissance runs over Central American rebel camps. This leads to Barry also working with Panamanian General Manuel Noriega, the Medellin

drug cartel in Colombia, and, finally, the unlawful and hypocritical Reagan White House (there’s newsreel footage of Ronnie predictably ignoring Iran-Contra questions to gurgle over his Thanksgiving turkey). Over the course of his escapades, Barry remains committed to his wife Lucy (Sarah Wright), contends with her reckless brother JB (Caleb Landry Jones), and makes so much money that he has to eventually start burying some of it in the backyard of his home in Mena, Arkansas.

Director Doug Liman (who previously worked with Cruise on the excellent Edge of Tomorrow) and scripter Gary Spinelli clearly have plenty of affection — perhaps too much — for Barry Seal, who’s presented as a likable guy who never really hurt anybody. Considering he routinely flew cocaine into the U.S. makes that a highly dubious outlook, but regardless, Cruise plays him as such an eager-to-please opportunist that we enjoy watching him even if we never really care about his fate.

At any rate, he’s definitely preferable to monsters like Pablo Escobar and Oliver North, and the picture does a nice job of illustrating that he’s really just a pawn in the games played by amoralists with only their own self-interests at heart. Ultimately, American Made examines where capitalism and corruption intersect, and, in that respect, the movie is aptly named. !

Vintage To Vogue and beyond: Not your average vintage shop

O

n North Davie Street in downtown Greensboro, there is a little shop on the corner.

Vintage to Vogue is immediately recognizable by the Katie Murawski vertical mural on the adjacent building of a woman in a sunEditor dress, and now even more noticeable with the addition of another mural to the building right next door. The boutique houses an array of vintage men and women’s clothing, all curated by fashion designer and owner Jennifer Graf, who has designed clothes for celebrities such as Justin Timberlake, Naomi Campbell, Victoria Beckham and Melissa Gorga.

Vintage to Vogue has been open for one year and offers a vast selection of high-end vintage attire with some creative twists. Vintage to Vogue offers year-round events, personal styling and shopping options, group parties, and Graf said she even makes house calls to help people go through their clothes in their closets. Graf also has created a program that makes Vintage to Vogue stand out from other vintage boutiques. She calls her innovative program Re-create, and she said that it allows people to redesign and alter their pre-existing clothing. Graf and her associate Rosalyn Womack, a seamstress who works with Graf and has a shop in Revolution Mill, collaborate on the Re-create program. Womack said she loves the concept of Re-create because she can turn old clothes into something new. She also loves helping customers see potential in any garment at the store or in their closet.

“We can even take multiple garments and combine them or just make something fit right,” Womack wrote in a text message. “Fit is everything. The perfect fit can turn something into a badass garment.”

Graf said she was inspired to start the Re-create program by the clothing label Imitation of Christ, which recycles garments into runway pieces. Graf said she is even considering offering Re-create classes where people can learn to sew and recreate garments themselves. Graf also works alongside local designer Carl Mize.

Stephen Holding and Jennifer Graf posing next to Holding’s mural painting “Because of my background, meeting with people that I wanted to bring on, I knew exactly what I was looking for,” Graf said. “These two people excelled. You can tell quality by little details, such as you always want stripes or plaid patterns to line up. The inside of a garment tells a lot about the garment, and when Carl came in and showed me some of his designs, everything lined up, and I said ‘OK he knows what he is doing.’ I made sure that I partnered with very talented people.”

Graf grew up in a town outside of D.C. and described herself as a handful when younger. She said in high school, the only classes that she would not skip were art classes.

“I lived in them,” she said. “I would try to take as many as I could throughout the day.”

When Graf was 18, she decided to run off with the circus--quite literally.

“There, I did concessions mostly,” she said. “What I spent most of my free time doing was spending time in the wardrobe area helping the costume designer sew on buttons or fix damaged costumes. That is where I got my first taste of my actual career in [fashion]. But, I sewed a lot when I was younger, too.”

Graf described her living situation as being stacked in “Mack truck-like” compartments that doubled as housing units.

She recalls one night when the circus was

living in the Lincoln Center parking lot in New York City. She said she remembers thinking how weird it was to see all the clowns and trapeze artists gathered together, still in their costumes and makeup, after a performance watching a Mike Tyson boxing match in the kitchen compartment of the truck.

“It was a very unique experience, to say the least,” she said.

While in New York City, Graf said when she walked by the Fashion Institute of Technology she knew immediately that was where she wanted to go.

“Once I ran away from the circus I went back home and focused my attention on getting into FIT,” she said. “I did not realize how hard it was to get into FIT and the fashion realm and I think my naiveness paid off because that was the only school I applied to and somehow got in.”

Graf said she was driven when she attended FIT and that her art was even displayed at the school.

“They have a corner window on 27th and 7th, and they displayed a lot of my designs in the window,” she said. “I was a presidential scholar and graduated Magna Cum Laude, and that is something that I never foresaw happening. I embraced it.”

After graduating from FIT, according to her LinkedIn page, Graf began her extensive, 14-year career in the fashion

industry on the Bugle Boy design team.

After, she was an associate designer at PONY, Rocawear and Retro Fox. She has been a designer at both Raffi linea uomo and Kayser-Roth Corporation as well as a long-term freelance designer for Young Jeezy’s 8732, Ecko Enterprises G-Unit, Fashion Overseas Bureau and much more.

Graf then moved to London where she researched in fashion-related positions.

“It was an amazing experience, and we had to travel a lot,” she said about her experience in London. “I traveled to Hong Kong, when I lived in London I traveled to Paris, Dublin and all these amazing cities.”

Graf eventually moved back to the United States where she designed for the high-end fashion line Raffi linea uomo.

She said she was glad to work at Raffi because it was a completely different type of style she was used to designing for. “[It was] different from streetwear,” she said. “Sometimes you get pigeonholed and get stuck designing only one type of style. I was lucky that didn’t happen to me.”

So what brought Graf to Greensboro?

Surely her professional experience could score her any position she wanted in New York City, London, Paris or Los Angeles.

As it turns out, Graf moved to Greensboro with her now-ex. After her relationship when south, she said she debated on what to do next.

WWW.YESWEEKLY.COMW

Vintage to Vogue storefront, located at 124 N. Davie St. in downtown “I was in this period of time where I just didn’t know what I wanted to do,” she said. “So I said to myself, ‘if you don’t know don’t do anything’ and I sat back and gave Greensboro a chance.”

During her waiting period, Graf said she started embracing Greensboro.

“There is so much that Greensboro has to offer that people may not see or gets overlooked,” she said. “We live in a downtown that I feel is in its toddler stage and there is so much growth that is happening.

I just fell in love with it here once I allowed myself not to stress about it.”

Graf said she was lucky enough to find a job designing at Kayser-Roth, which she didn’t expect would even be an option in North Carolina. Realizing her limitations at Kayser-Roth, Graf decided that she wanted to do something different.

“I realized [owning a business] is something I wanted to do for a very long time,” she said. “I woke up one morning, and I said, ‘either do it now or stop daydreaming about it.’ That is when I hit the ground running.”

Among all the hats Graf wears, she said she loves to be involved with downtown Greensboro. She said she is passionate about bettering the growth, atmosphere and culture through putting art on vacant buildings. To do this, she has brought some of her artist friends from New York City and other places to help beautify the WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

area around her shop. The lightbulbs on the back of her building were painted by Meres One, a world-famous graffiti artist who ran 5 Pointz Gallery in New York City and who has also been in a Banksy documentary, worked with Louis Vuitton and painted a 30-story building on Wall Street.

Recently, she worked with her friend and Brooklyn-based artist Stephen Holding to paint the building next door. Holding was lead designer of Nike in Hong Kong, and he worked with Reebok to design shoes sold in their flagship store in Japan. According to the flyer beside the mural, Project Illuminary is an on-going mural project

by Holding that brings color and light to urban areas, revitalizing the landscape by bringing new life into otherwise unused spaces.

“I live in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn,” Holding said. “There is a project there called the Bushwick Collective, and they do a lot of street art there. I am going to petition them for a wall after I am done here and show them this as an example.”

Graf said the building was an eyesore that would be located at the heart of the 2017 Folk Festival, held Sept. 8 through 10. Before the Folk Festival, Graf brought Holding down from New York City and commissioned him with the help of Downtown Greensboro, Inc. and Greensboro Downtown Residents Association to paint the building.

“I have known Stephen for quite some time,” she said. “I knew I had to get him down here if not for this project, then another, because he is so freaking talented!

We used to work together designing at different companies. This was around the time he did the Reebok thing, and then he left to become the head designer of Nike in Hong Kong. I knew if anyone was going to paint this wall it would be Stephen.”

Graf said she would like to encourage other property owners downtown with vacancies do the same thing Project Illuminary does.

Painting the town and owning her own all-encompassing vintage boutique shop isn’t enough for Graf, however. She believes she can do more to contribute to her community. She and her associate Shelley Hundley plan to start a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that donates clothes to those in need.

“We are looking to start a charitable organization to not only help build the self-esteem of clothing recipients by not just providing those in need with attire at no charge but by also providing them with one-on-one assistance in choosing their attire in a boutique setting,” Hundley wrote in a text message.

Both Graf and Hundley plan to work with multiple organizations to provide both men and women with vouchers for clothing items as well as with individuals

who seek out assistance independently.

Hundley wrote in a text message that funding for this operation would be obtained through the sale of men’s and women’s fashion items to the general public in a boutique style thrift store and all items in this store will be donated by the public and all proceeds will remain local.

As for the future, Graf has a lot of plans for her little shop on the corner. She hopes to bring her friend and stylist Newheart Ohanian, who styled for Beyonce’s famous “Lemonade” visual album, to Greensboro to meet with college design students. She also plans to be involved with DGI’s traveling art show again and she said she is also always involved in First Friday events in Greensboro.

The legend of the Little Red Man COLLECTION OF OLD SALEM MUSEUMS & GARDENS.

BY JENNIFER BEAN BOWER Over 200 years ago, a young man named Andreas Kremser lost his life in the Moravian town of Salem. After his death, a local ghost story emerged and he has never been forgotten. The story of The Little Red Man is one of the oldest and best-known in North Carolina lore.

But what is the truth behind the legend?

Who was Kremser and how did he become The Little Red Man? The Records of the Moravians in North Carolina, volumes 2-6, provide much information.

Born in Pennsylvania on March 7, 1753, Kremser and his family resided in the Moravian mission settlement of Gnadenhütten. As a teenager, Kremser traveled to North Carolina, settled in Bethabara— the first Moravian settlement in North Carolina—and apprenticed himself to a shoemaker. Three years later, he moved to Salem and took up residence in the Single Brothers’ House; a place where the single men of the community ate, slept, labored, conducted meetings and held religious services. Kremser worked in the building as a shoemaker and it was there that his mischievous—and sometimes reckless—deeds were documented.

In an effort to keep Kremser busy—and likely out of trouble—the church leaders added the task of cleaning chimneys to his duties. Because he was a man of small stature, they believed he would be perfect for the job. On one occasion, Kremser abandoned his job in order to steal a cabbage head from a Salem resident’s garden. As a result, he incurred serious punishment and was put to work

in the Single Brothers’ House kitchen.

Of course, trouble followed him there as well.

Finally, in 1786, Kremser was given yet another task, but this time it would be his last. That year, a cellar was being dug for an addition to the Single Brothers’ House and Kremser was one of the men assigned to the project. The job was dangerous and the men were warned not to dig on their knees, as doing so would

The cellar where Andreas Kremser lost his life can be seen in this c. 1890 photograph attributed to Thomas C. Hege. The writing on the image reads: “WIDDOWS [sic]-HOUSE/SUB-SELLAR [sic] (LITTLE RED MAN)/PLACE WHERE THE GOST [sic] WAS.”

impede their escape from a cave-in. All but Kremser heeded the advice.

On the evening of March 25, as the men dug deep into the cellar, the ground began to crumble. An alarm was sounded and everyone ran for safety; everyone except Joseph Dixon and Andreas Kremser. A rescue effort ensued and both men were pulled out alive. Dixon had been covered in dirt up to his armpits while Kremser—who had been digging on his knees—was complete-

ly blanketed by the earth. Dixon recovered in a couple of hours, but Kremser did not.

At 2 a.m. on March 26, the mischievous little man succumbed to his wounds.

Kremser was buried in God’s Acre, his estate was sent to his mother in Pennsylvania and the cellar was eventually finished. But that is not the end of the story.

Sometime after Kremser’s death, mysterious sights and sounds were reported in the building where he died. Some claimed to

have heard the tapping of a shoemaker’s hammer while others professed to have seen a small man in red slipping past the doors along the hallway. Was this clamorous little red man the ghost of Kremser?

To most, it was a logical assumption, as Kremser was not only short, but he was said to have been wearing a red cap and jacket when he died.

Many years after Kremser’s death, the Single Brothers’ House gave up its men as residents and became a home for widows.

Yet, despite a change in occupants, The Little Red Man remained. In fact, one of the most popular stories about the ghost occurred when a young girl named Betsy visited her grandmother at the widows’ home. During her stay, Betsy became excited and ran to her grandmother. She explained that she had seen a little red man in the hallway who beckoned her with his finger, as if to say, “Come here.”

The Little Red Man continued to be seen by people of all ages until about 1950 when local legend said he disappeared.

Around that time, a minister visited Winston-Salem and was told the story of the little red man. Convinced he could put the spirit to rest, the clergyman walked into the building, invoked the Trinity and spoke the words, “Little Red Man, go to rest!”

Some said it worked, others said it didn’t; and some, like Augustus Fogle—a former mayor of Salem—believed the WWW.YESWEEKLY.COM

ghost was nothing more than a figment of overactive imaginations. In his article, “Reminiscences of Salem and Vicinity from 1828 to the Present Time,” which appeared in the Sept. 8, 1892, edition of the People’s Press, Fogle declared that “all ghostly legends…vanish before electric lights and street railways.”

Real or not, the ghost of Kremser has always been a popular topic in the historic community. When Mary Owen wrote the article “Easter in a Quaint Moravian Town” for the March 30, 1907, edition of the Twin-City Daily Sentinel, she did not fail to mention the “famous personage in red.”

Today, the story of The Little Red Man is still recounted in Old Salem—particularly around Halloween.

Although the existence of The Little Red Man cannot be proven, the documented truth is that Kremser was a real man who lived, worked and misbehaved, in presentday Winston-Salem. When he died, he metamorphosed into a legend that will live on as long as the story continues to be told. !

last call [THE ADVICE GODDESS] love • sex • dating • marriage • questions

BY AMY ALKON

LOATHE STORY

My boyfriend who dumped me says he wants to be friends (talk to me, see me sometimes), but I’m not ready for that because I’m still in love with him. A female co-worker said that if he can be friends, he was never in love with me to begin with — that if he’d really loved me, he’d hate me now. Is this true? — Feeling Worse According to your office Socrates, “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways” should be answered with “I slashed your tires. I sprinkled a strong laxative in your latte. And I’m looking forward to chasing you down the street while waving highly realistic replicas of scary medieval weapons...”

Romantic love actually comes in two flavors — “passionate” and “companionate” — explains social psychologist Elaine Hatfield. Passionate love is the initial “wildly emotional,” lusty kind that wanes over time. Companionate love, on the other hand, involves “friendly affection and deep attachment” — deep appreciation for who somebody is and what they do and believe in — and tends to have more staying power.

The difference between the two is best illustrated in relation to what we’ll call “car trouble.” Passionate love is what leads to the physics problem of how to have sex in a Porsche in your driveway (because going inside and doing it in the foyer instead would take too long). Companionate love likewise gets two people working out a physics problem in a car; however, it’s trying to collectively muster the NASA-level intelligence required to install an infant car seat.

Companionate love does sometimes lead to “I hate you! I hate you”-style loathing, but typically just when there’s been a betrayal. But sometimes what people call love is really an unhealthy dependency with sparkly hearts painted on it — one person using the other as a sort of human grout, to fill the empty spaces in themselves so they can take a shortcut to feeling whole. In this situation, “I’m nothing without you!” really does feel like the case, and who doesn’t hate a person who makes them feel like nothing?

However, real love doesn’t suddenly curdle into hate. If the respect and the “wow, you’re an amazeballs person” and all the rest was there, that remains as a base — even when the relationship tanks. Even so, this doesn’t necessarily mean you should convert your ex into your BFF. What you should do with respect to your ex — now and in the future — is whatever works for you, when it works for you. This may mean never seeing or speaking to your ex again

— despite any “love becomes hate!” urging from your co-worker that you owe him a scolding phone call: “If you’d ever really loved me, you’d want the best for me now — the best undetectable poison money can buy!”

PI IN THE FACE

Not to brag, but I’m a very intelligent woman with probably too many degrees. I’m always thrilled when a guy says he’s seeking “a smart woman.” However, a guy who initially said that just stopped dating me because he finds my intelligence “emasculating.” Do all men feel this way? Am I supposed to dumb it down to find a partner?

— Smarts Men don’t mind being corrected by a woman if it’s “Oooh, yes...a little more to the right” — not “I think you meant ‘whom,’ but hey, no judgments.”

The reality is, intellectually average women tend to have an easier time finding a partner. In research by social psychologist Lora E. Park, men imagining their hypothetical ideal partner expressed interest in a woman of high intelligence — even higher than their own. However, when they were in the same room with a woman and they were were told she scored far better on a math test (getting 90 percent correct versus their 60 percent), the men were less interested in exchanging contact info or planning a date with her.

Park and her colleagues speculate — per research by evolutionary psychologists reflecting women’s preference for male partners who are higher-achieving than they are — that being intellectually “outperformed” by women leads men to experience “diminished feelings of masculinity.”

(Understandable — as nothing quite ignites romance like needing to coax your date out from under the couch: “Why are you hiding?

I promised not to hurt you with my mind!”)

The answer for you, as a very smart woman, isn’t dumbing down; it’s being selective about the men you date (while recognizing that there are brainiacs working as, say, cabinetmakers). Assuming you aren’t chasing guys away by lording over them — “Well, hello...intellectual earthworm!” — it’s probably best to narrow your search parameters to the highly intelligent: men who won’t feel like their IQ test results, in comparison with yours, would read something like “Water every other day, and place in indirect sunlight.” !

[HOROSCOPES] [LEO (July 23 to August 22) You might want to take a break from your busy schedule to restore your energy levels. Use this less-hectic time to also reassess your plans and make needed changes.

[AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Aspects favor recharging your social life and meeting new people. It’s also a good time to renew friendships that might be stagnating due to neglect on both sides.

[VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) What you like to think of as determination might be seen by others as nothing more than stubbornness. Try to be more flexible if you hope to get things resolved.

[PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Congratulations. Your talent for working out a highly technical problem earns you well-deserved praise. The weekend could bring news about a friend or relative.

[LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Watch that you don’t unwittingly reveal work-related information to the wrong person. Best to say nothing until you get official clearance to open up.

[ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might feel compelled to get involved on the “right side” of a seemingly unfair fight. But appearances can be deceptive. Get the facts before going forth into the fray.

[SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) With things settling down at work or at home, you can now take on a new challenge without fear of distraction. Be open to helpful suggestions from colleagues.

[TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Bullying others into agreeing with your position could cause resentment. Instead, persuade them to join you by making your case on a logical point-by-point basis.

[SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your creativity can help resolve an emotional situation that might otherwise get out of hand. Continue to be your usual caring, sensitive self.

[GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Resist pushing for a workplace decision you might feel is long overdue. Your impatience could backfire. Meanwhile, focus on that stillunsettled personal situation.

[CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You could impress a lot of influential people with the way you untangle a few knotty problems. Meanwhile, a colleague is set to share some welcome news.

[CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your aspects favor doing something different. You might decide to redecorate your home, or take a trip somewhere you’ve never been, or even change your hairstyle. © 2017 by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

[STRANGE BUT TRUE]

by Samantha Weaver

* It was Irish author and editor Robert Lynd who made the following sage observation: “History may be read as the story of the magnificent rearguard action fought during several thousand years by dogma against curiosity.” * Historians say that the Halloween tradition of trick-or-treating dates back to the early European tradition of mumming, when costumed dancers would go door to door to perform choreographed routines, as well as songs and plays, in exchange for treats. * You might be surprised to learn that on a per-capita basis, Finland has more heavy-metal bands than any other country on Earth. * If you’re fortunate enough to be planning a trip to Argentina, you’ll almost certainly make a stop in Buenos Aires, the

capital. While you’re there, keep an eye out for a mobile work by Raul Lemesoff. The artist, known for his eccentricity, converted a 1979 Ford Falcon into a kind of a tank — it even has a turret that swivels. Instead of soldiers and armaments, however, this tank carries books on shelves both inside and outside the vehicle. Lemesoff drives his “Weapon of Mass Instruction” through the city streets, delivering free books to all comers. His only requirement? Recipients must promise to read what he gives them. * In a recent survey of pet owners, 43 percent of respondents said that they’d be eating healthier themselves if they ate the same thing they fed their pets.
