Haiku on Wednesday, July 22nd at 8pm, at 19-21 Clinton St. (between Houston & Stanton Sts.)
Editor of “The Haiku Anthology,” Cor van den Heuvel and Yuko Otomo and six other Haiku poets

writing contest. Other poets represented include Tsaurah Litzky, Ernie Conrich, Steve

Modest Mussorgsky’s opera, Boris Gudunov, is sizzling heavy stuff on a summer’s night, but it’
s drama at its best. Based on a story by Alexander Pushkin it concerns the eponymous King’s
murderous accession to the throne. It takes center stage in a riveting production from the
Chekov International Theatre Festival and the Lincoln Center Festival in association with Park
Avenue Armory July 22-26. 643 Park Avenue (at 67th St.) All performances take place in Wade
Thompson Drill Hall. For tickets visit: www.armortyonpark.org.
St. Tropez’s beautiful blondes, those suntanned and sexy ghosts of Brigitte Bardot, roam the
streets and boutiques of this fabled summer watering spot to be seen and photographed by the
paparazzi. The must-buys this summer are bestsellers next year 1210. Get into the Riviera
groove and wear dazzling all white, slip on an Ethnic tunic, wear in-your-face sheer caftans to
reveal a gorgeous figure, tote that oversized handbag and wear long patio dresses right on the
streets of New York town. Go wild on color. Remember bright colors cool down their brilliance
under a heat wave. Or go to the Hamptons and strut your stuff. Save on gas and take the
Hampton Jitney.
Ta Ta Darlings. I’ve become a Deco Diva lecturing here and there!!! Why it’s news to me but I’
m so in demand I’ll be in New York and you can hear me speak next Tuesday at the Beekman
Towers. Remember you heard all about it on the Big Apple News Network. Fan mail goes to
