There's no telling whether it works - products like these aren't classified as drugs, so they aren't evaluated by the FDA - but, at least in theory, it ought to make love, lust or trust bloom a little faster. That's not unlike the drug ecstasy, which triggers the release of serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin in the brain and heightens users' feelings of trust and intimacy, even among complete strangers. Concerns that oxytocin might be similarly abused as a recreational drug seem unfounded, however, given that the hormone doesn't produce a high, says zoologist Sue Carter...
...definition, but it has a feel. Its musicians reject show-biz glitz. They support progressive social causes. Many of them avoid dating groupies and models. Their music is usually guitar-driven, with experimental touches. While pop songs are often about love, alternative lyrics are usually about tougher feelings: despair, lust, confusion. Alternative rock is a reaction, especially among the twentysomething generation, to all the years of being subjected to Madonna's changing hair color and MTV close-ups of George Michael's butt...

Posh brand names show up everywhere, occasionally with severe consequences (Carrie is effectively led astray by a Vivienne Westwood dress), but mostly to suggest the luxe that goes with the women's lust...
...Obsessed as it is with lust and looking, the movie naturally wants its stars to look great. They're not kids any more: Parker and Davis are 43, Nixon 42 and Cattrall 51. (I know, Harrison Ford is 65, but you know that the camera and the audience are kinder to aging male stars than females.) But their characters are youngish, at least in their minds. Like a lot of us, they refuse to grow up or old; they need to stay fit and sexy, to sustain a satiny, early-20s robustness straight into senility. And whether Carrie...
