...rain have fallen all year. And Durango, which since 1877 has had first rights to the water that flows down the Florida River and the local Animas, can hold only a seven-day supply in its reservoir. So the city uses up most of its entitlement, consuming 6 million gal. of water a day to preserve an oasis environment on a semidesert plateau. The golf course alone absorbs half a million gallons a day, water that would otherwise flow downstream and feed the Colorado River. "We created an artificial environment here, and we are trying to keep it," says city...

Lo a run for her booty, shakes her thang and vigorously bonds with gal friends Christina Applegate and Selma Blair. The guys are just plot ornaments for the oral-sex gags and changes of clothes.

...wouldn’t label myself particularly vain, but I try as hard as the next gal to look decent for a black tie event or a hot date. Hair: big. Clothes: elegant…or at least seductively tight. Breath: casually minty. Now for the make-up, the frosting on the cake that makes the average person look extra special for an extra special occasion. Finding the right make-up for my skin tone—somewhere between exotic, African-American, dark cocoa and kinky-headed Negro black—is, to be sure, an exhausting process. It?...
