Kevin in Red
"My father was terribly concerned this kind of thing would happen as a result of
acting," winked Kevin Costner as he donned a red sequined bra and kissed more
than one Harvard man in drag. The virile, yet savvy, movie star was accepting
Man of the Year Honors from Harvard's Hasty Pudding Theatricals. We're terribly
concerned too. Will' drag replace baseball as America's most beloved sport if
Costner abandons his career in the flicks for one on the runways of dark and
smoky clubs? Yea ! And Kev, if you need help on how to talk to your dad about
this, just ask Tom Hulce.
Amelia's Scarf In Space
Keep an eye on the space shuttle Discovery next April. That orange and gold silk
scarf you may see floating through the cockpit belonged to aviation pioneer Amelia
Earhart. Purdue University, where Earhart trained for her legendary travels and
worked as a women's counselor, donated the piece to a group of space travelers
who graduated from the school. The scarf will rocket into space with the mission's
commander Loren Shriver, another Purdue graduate.
Pig of Pigs
The choice is definitive, the winner undisputed: Superhomophobe, anti-feminist
Jesse Helms received the male chauvinist pig award from the Susan B. Anthony
Committee in a Charlotte, North Carolina ceremony. The North Carolina Senator
wore pink pig ears and a T-shirt showing his face on the body of a turkey to the
ceremony where he was given a ball and chain award. In receiving the award, the
pig-eared Senator said, "On the issues, I am precisely where I was 20 years ago, 30
years ago." Okay, okay, it wasn't really Helms. It was an impersonator. Helms
did make a statement through a spokesman, calling the award "ridiculous". A
word frequently used to describe his porcine political positions.
