KEEP REFRIGERATED
Dish
there's a fine line between telling the truth and talking trash
Dim Dish
Last issue Dish reported seeing Byllye Avery of the
National Black Women's Health Project at the Fund for
Southern Communities' 10th Birthday Bash. Ms. Avery
received an award, but was not in attendance. Dish has
made an appointment with the eye doctor.
Mayoral Advice
Joan Gamer, the Senior Advisor to Mayor Jackson
whose phone number we could not confirm for the last
issue, can be reached during the day at 577-3178 if you
have thoughts of import for Hizonnner. Advisor Maury
Weil can be reached at 378-2189; and messages for Jay
Neely can be left at First MCC, 872-2246.
Martina on Sesame Street
Who says Martina Navratilova isn't a good role model
for young people of the world? The Children's
Television Workshop must think she's just fine. In a
Sesame Street skit (which Dish just happened to catch)
sports commentator Maria is interviewing Martina after
an easy victory. However at the end of the match MN
has problems conforming to the tennis tradition of jump
ing over the net (thus illustrating for the kids the concept
of around, under and through). When asked why things
got weird at the end of the match, Martina replied "It
was very hot out there today," and "I had an off day."
Orchis, Orchis on the Wall
This month's "Metropolitan Home" (a magazine which
continually treats gay men and lesbians with admirable
J|S*«
If-
equanimity) contains a full page ad for a "Home
Furnishings Catalog" from a company named Orchis. Take
a close look at the above image from that ad. Get the pic
ture? Dish tried to reach Orchis to get more facts, but got
no answer. We'd love to see the rest of the catalog, but
we're loathe to send our $10 to a Pennsylvania Post Office
Box when no one is home. Call 215-543-5985 and see if
you can get an answer.
Dish it Out
Southern Voice is pleased to sponsor a series of four
workshops on various issues related to news coverage of
the lesbian and gay community. The workshops will be
held the second Wednesday of each month September
through December. While they are intended primarily for
SV's staff and contributors, the workshops are free and
open to the public. The first workshop "Outing: The
ethics of saying it in print" will be held Wednesday, Sept.
12th from 7:30-10:00pm at the Ponce de Leon Library,
980 Ponce de Leon Ave. Call 876-0789 for information.
Deep Sixed by E-6
Reader William Meneely took a number of his collages to
E-6 photo labs on 10th Street to have slides made of them
to submit them to Nexus for its "Against the Tide" show
of homoerotic art scheduled for late October. E-6 is wide
ly regarded as the place for artists to have such work
done. But lab manager Michael Penney found said pieces
of art to be "off-color," "offensive," and "not in good
taste." Dish eyeballed the collages and found them to be
"funny,"" whimsical" and "political.” Mr. Penney told
Mr. Meneely that he did not want to subject the "young
ladies" who worked in his lab to such images. A (previ
ous) regular customer of the lab says she thinks that E-6
regularly processes images of women that are far more
erotic than any William's. "But", she adds, "that's no sur
prise is it?"

The Sun and Mercury are both in the mutable earth sign of Virgo with Mercury retrograde until September 14, so be sure all communications are clear and concise.
Avoid signing contracts or making long-term commitments right now.
ARIES- With Mars, your ruling planet,
now in your 3rd house, you may feel the
3 need for a short trip. Also a
good time to communicate
with brothers and sisters or to
be involved with neighbors
or neighborhood projects.
TAURUS- Jupiter has moved into your 4th
house of home and family, expanding any
situations there. Handle
issues with parents, signifi
cant others or anyone living
in your home early and
remember to keep your sense
of humor.
GEMINI- Venus joins the Sun and Mer
cury in your 4th house of home and family
on September 7; be prepared
to pay more attention to
family situations. Let others
know your feelings and abso
lutely avoid worry!
CANCER- Now that Pluto is moving
direct in your 5th house of creativity and
passion, you may feel more
confident and expressive.
This is a good time to start
new projects, or take that art
class you've been putting off.
LEO- With Jupiter now in your 1st house
of self-awareness and personal appearance,
you may want to delve into
your inner being, update
your wardrobe, or even get
involved in sports or some
physical activity to stay in
shape.
VIRGO-Happy Birthday! Venus joins the
Sun and Mercury in your 1st house of self
awareness, personality, and
appearance. If you are not
happy with your physical
self, get a check-up and sign
up for a fitness program.
LIBRA- Venus joins the Sun and Mercury
in your 12th house of visions, dreams and
the unconscious on Septem
ber 7, so stay with your intu
ition and try not to take on
too much extra responsibility
at work. Get plenty of rest.
SCORPIO- Jupiter is slowing moving
through your 10th house of career and sta
tus, making this a good time
to look for new opportunities
to express your abilities or
even check out a new posi
tion. However, there is no
need to rush.
SAGITTARIUS- Mars is now in your 7th
house of personal and committed relation
ships, so you may find you
are more involved and active
with those near and dear.
Just be sure you have some
time reserved for your self.

in your 9th house of higher learning, you
may want to sign up for a
class related to career, or
give yourself time to relax
and reflect on priorities
before fall activities begin.
AQUARIUS- Expansive Jupiter is now in
your 7th house of close, personal relation
ships, so expect to be more
focused on relationship
issues and situations.
Friends may provide won
derful, new opportunities for
love and growth.

Mercury in your 7th house of close, per
sonal relationships, be pre
