...gigolo with Saturday-night fever. At the end of the first, teasingly erotic pas de deux, Dowell effortlessly lifts Sibley aloft and, in one graceful, fluid motion, floats her offstage. The gesture promises a lovers' private communion. Yet, in the end, it turns out to be only funning foreplay: the stranger, it seems, is less interested in the lady of the house than he is in regaining his sunglasses and patting his pompadour back into place...

...displaying of the label could become de rigeur in the early stages of a relationship--possibly during advanced "foreplay." In those ethnic and hyper-traditional groups in which a suitor asks for a woman's hand in marriage, he might be required to bring a sampling of his under things for the parents to peruse.

...bunch of improbable photos: six fashion models in khaki landing a hot air balloon amidst a herd of giraffes; six fashion models waving from on top of a jeep. Breaking down into couples, the six alternately hug, slice meat, look tough, read maps through glasses of Chablis, practice foreplay, wade in rivers, listen to New Wave on a tape recorder, and become good friends with the Masai tribesmen, who obviously know a smart buy when they see one. As the caption reads: "The magnificent Masai Africa's warriors of the ancient plains now live by and for their cattle. Below...
