...Mia Hamm did it to save her league. The all-time top scorer in international soccer joined 18 other U.S. female stars in taking a pay cut--in her case a 29% drop, to $60,000--to keep the Women's United Soccer Association alive. Bob Knight did it out of shame. The Texas Tech basketball coach gave back his $250,000 base salary to pay penance for his team's disappointing 16-11 regular-season record.

"There's no light at the end of the tunnel with Franco," says Mia Michaels, A New Day's choreographer. "Most directors I work for say, 'This is what I want--this is how we'll get it.' He's just like 'Whatever you want to do, do it. Create what you feel, and we'll find magic in that.' He has no goal...
...dykes!” shouted Franklin to the screaming crowd. The highlight of the evening was the performance by the high-femme and butch drag lesbian burlesque performance troupe, the Princesses of Porn with the Dukes of Dykedom. Dyke Ball 2003 also featured the seductive moves of dance troupe Mia Anderson’s Drag Kings, Sluts, and Goddesses and the Wellesley the LesBiTrans advisor...
