Novelty acts go down best with the crowd. The hot-and-heavy numbers are just too perilous. Artist No. 5 knows how to dance, but does the hand gliding down the torso suggest desire or gastrointestinal distress? Artist No. 7 wins points for wearing fishnet stockings, studded belts and a torn, painted neon cape. But for a terrible moment as she writhes on the stage, it looks as if she has got tangled in her costume. Also the sunglasses are crooked. There are no Michael Jackson imitators. You cannot compete with a big-time video, and anyway, the word upstairs...
...goodness, the regalia she wears on the screen! When she's on the cabaret stage, she gets all dolled up as the Queen Bee in La Cage's fall production of the Flight of the Bumblebee. And when she is just wearing her at-homes, she is often wearing fishnet stockings, with a pink mini-skirt. Ooooohhh-la-la Mammi...
...fish, a central part of the house shield, became Cabot's mascot after the Loeb Drama Center donated a 15-foot wooden version of the aquatic creature last year.

No large gathering in San Francisco's homosexual community, including the gay rights march planned for the day before the convention opens, would be quite complete without the appearance of a figure clad in a hiked-up nun's habit, black fishnet stockings, and a tightly drawn wimple that sometimes fails to hold in an unruly shock of red hair. These have become the transvestite trademarks of Sister Boom Boom, member of the Order of Perpetual Indulgence, and the drag creation of a 29-year-old astrologer named Jack Fertig. Part put-on artist...
