After meals, the pooch may have his teeth brushed with Happy Breath toothpaste or a new beef-flavored variety, then go out to be fitted for a hounds-tooth jacket, a gold bracelet, black lace panties, a lame evening gown, top hat and tails, Halloween outfit, caps, booties and pajamas. He may have his coat dyed to make him look younger, or work out on a jog-a-dog machine (at $575) to keep him in shape, or have his portrait painted in oils. There are clip-on diapers for parakeets, hairpieces and false eyelashes for poodles, snoods to keep...
Jobriath's entourage crowds his dressing room. The next show goes on in 15 minutes.

An ornate gold and silver bracelet carries an electronic gadget that measures pulse rate. Perhaps the farthest-fetched item is an enclosed vehicle, with "legs" in back and wheels in front. It carries one rider and is powered by a small motor. Called the Madison Park Stroller, it is supposed to be a piece of art as well as a conveyance...

"You can wear the bracelet until the man is either indicted, convicted, pardoned or paroled, depending on your point of view," says Louis Lerner, one of the three entrepreneurs. "What we're really hoping for is that on Jan. 19, 1977, Nixon gives them all a presidential pardon, so that all the wearers can take off their bracelets and throw them in one loud crash on the marble floors of America. Or they can send them back for recycling for the next scandal...
