...belly button was showing." Though her belly button was safely under wraps, Cher, 38, still got treated to a healthy helping of abuse last week at Harvard's annual Hasty Pudding Theatricals awards. After the requisite raucous parade through Harvard Square, featuring jugglers and Pudding actors in drag ("We're on the cutting edge of androgyny," boasted one), the pop singer-turned-actress was presented with the traditional pudding pot and ribbed about her wiry physique (she was given an oversize bra), her unorthodox attire and her one-word name (suggested new last names: "Cropper" or "of the Pot"). Sallied...
...other night, a Pudding show has no trouble catching attention. But opening night is a production unto itself, and even when the drag queens hit the stage you can't help but wonder if the real action isn't happening somewhere in your peripheral vision. Surely there was drama enough in the pre-curtain champagne slosh on the building's top floor. Middle-aged men peered eagerly at younger females, while college men gazed longingly at older women.

When Eva realizes that this is as good as it gets and that the rest of the world isn't any better, and then plane tickets get switched and people get disonnected, it's all kind of funny in a sad sort of way. The American dream is just...
...still hasn't garnered mainstream approval: its combative and arrogant aura puts off those who have opted out of the drag race of love. There individuals, the Alan Aldes and Meryl Streeps of the world, may well want to de-sexualize sex, to remove it from a primarily monogamous market to a system of universal human intercourse. The nostalgic memories of childhood, without all those sexual anxieties, form an attractive model, but by and large these memories are incomplete. Childhood sexual neuroses not only exist but in one sense are even more insidious than those of adult, because children...
