...satin suit was cut up to here and down to there, her white cottontail jiggled provocatively, and her accomplishments included the "bunny dip," which enabled her to serve drinks without bending too far over. Thus the Playboy bunny, for 26 years the just-out-of-reach embodiment of the Playboy philosophy in Hugh Hefner's Key Clubs. But alas, what was once risque is now passe, not to mention money losing. This week Hefner is closing the three remaining (out of a high of 17) Playboy-owned clubs, in New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles. Reunions in the latter...
...cerebral approach to design. His Tokyo show was a presentation in his elegant shop, where the floor is covered in smooth white pebbles and a fountain bubbles up quietly as if from some deep Zen wellspring. Mannequins were hung with virtuoso variations of dresses and skirts cut from polyester satin and jersey, colored pale red, musky gold and worn white, in a pattern transferred directly from photos of rusted iron. "I'm neither anti-Western nor pro-Eastern," Mori explains. "I'm interested in making clothes that bring out the originality of the individual." His dresses are unemphatic tokens...
Curry was the mad scientist of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, resplendent in black satin and bad manners. Here he is a figure of more majestic maleficence. Sprawling in the lubricious gloom of his lair, he looks like a huge Naugahyde goat demon who has been flayed and candied, then served sweet- and-sour at a Chinese restaurant in Middle-Earth.

Too much hairspray, too many jiggly bangles, plastic colorful earrings, a flairy mini-skirt and a push-up satin halter are the usual attire. All the sleazy guys at Frank's Hamburger Joint--which Connie and her friend prowl by night--think Connie is sexy, but even remembering what it was like to be 15, it's hard to understand why she'd want to hang out with those guys...
DECKED OUT in a brown beehive, several inches of Maybelline Moisture Whip mascara and a baby-blue satin Rhinestone cowgirl outfit, country and western hopeful Patsy Cline (Jessica Lange) gazes out into the audience of the proverbial roadhouse-on-the-way-to-no-where and beings to croon, "I'm crazy, crazy for being soooo lonelyyyy." A star is born. The face of country music and the world has been changed forever. Or so Sweet Dreams, Director Karol Reisz's new film chronicling the ups and downs of Patsy Cline, country music's pre-Loretta Lynn sweetheart, would have...
