Actresses get top billing this

month at the Virginia Museum

of Fine Arts’ Friday Film Series,

a weekly showcase of motion

pictures, with “Great Women of the

Screen,” honoring performances

by luminaries Marilyn Monroe,

Meryl Streep, Penelope Cruz

and Tilda Swinton — the latter

three Academy Award winners.

Series curator Trent Nicholas,

who will introduce each film

and lead any follow-up discus-

sion, said he was inspired by a

similar female-centric film series

at the now-defunct Biograph, an

independent repertory theater on

West Grace Street that influenced

Richmond’s cinema culture during

the ’70s and ’80s. Screenings take

place each week at 6:30 p.m. in the

renovated Leslie Cheek Theater.

Tickets are $7, or $5 for museum

members, and may be purchased

by phone at 340-1405, online or at

the museum’s visitor services desk.

Old fabrics find new life in the hands of savvy seamstresses.

BY DEVERON TIMBERLAKE

1 32

1 Haden Bricker cut down a swath of fabric and added a lace inset at the waist for this summery dress.

2 Casey Bianco used al-most every scrap of fab-ric in her bag to make a layered ensemble complete with hairpiec-es and a sewn-in label.

3 Stephanie Albert cut down a pair of men’s pants for the shorts, and even made tights that she stenciled for this sportswear look.

4 Jessica Harrison’s jer-sey-knit dress is made of T-shirts and other cast-off fabrics in a sim-ple, wearable silhouette.

5 The show’s young-est designer, teenager Morgan Jacobs, gave international flair to a hand-sewn sheath with shawl worn by her mother, Eileen.

6 Meghan Hobson designed a dress with braided fabric details and a pieced, hot-air-balloon-inspired skirt.

My take Pearl’s Cupcake Shoppe is Richmond’s destination for desserts and confections baked fresh daily on site, using the finest gourmet and local ingredients. Our baked goods are perfect for any special occasion. We offer nostalgic classics and mod-ern creations presented in f lawless displays. Every day is a magical event at Pearl’s.

My take We try to make everyone feel welcome at Izzie’s. We love help-ing people; we often say that our cus-tomers become our friends because we take the time to get to know them. We do not see our shop as purely a “business” but a shop that people can come and “recycle” their once loved items and others can come and fall in love with the perfect piece and pur-chase it because it is affordable.

The HeartbreakerEver since my husband and I went to see

“The Vagina Monologues” on Valen-tine’s Day in 2001, I swore I would never, ever shave Down There. I barely shave my legs past the knees and only recently

have I started shaving my armpits in any season other than summer. But approaching my 35th birthday, I feel it is time to find a rite of passage for my entry into this new stage of womanhood. One of my best friends flew to Africa for her 35th, another to Paris. Me? I book a Brazilian.

To be honest, I don’t know precisely what a Bra-zilian Heartbreaker is when I call Bombshell Bra-zilian Waxing and Skincare Studio in Carytown to schedule my appointment, but when the owner, Melissa Bryant, advises me to take four ibuprofen before I come in, I start to get a clearer picture.

“I’m not interested in money, I just want to be wonderful,” proclaims Marilyn Monroe from the wall of the adorable, spotless salon where every-thing is either pink, black or leopard print. Me-lissa greets me, nodding with empathy as I explain how terrified and excited I am. The former general

By VAlley HAggArDSeeing myself differently, or how to wax poetic.manager of Nesbit’s Salon, Melissa opened Bomb-shell in February, offering tanning, hair and nail work, makeup and all manner of waxing. She has spent many years making women wonderful.

As I make myself comfortable on her table, in-specting various bottles of ointment, tweezers and a huge vat of hot green wax, Melissa turns down Frank Sinatra on the phonograph and ex-plains the process. “First,” she says, “you’re going to do the frog.” There are, I discover, several other yoga positions I will find myself in over the course of the next hour, including the pretzel and a modi-fied happy baby. Totally exposed from the waist down, I bend my legs into V’s as Melissa slathers me with a healthy dose of lotion and lidocaine numbing spray. “I call this greasing the pan,” she laughs, before trimming me with an electric razor. I imagine that I am about to mow the lawn with a sickle on the hottest day of the year, and a tiny bead of sweat forms on my brow.

But the wax is hot in a pleasant way and al-though I brace every muscle in my body for the first pull, the pain is surprisingly mild. I thank

my lucky stars, because in order to complete the job, Melissa must revisit my most delicate regions with this wax and yank process a few dozen more times. Her upbeat, professional bedside man-ner could school more than a few gynecologists, I think, shocked to find myself yammering away as if I were wearing pants, in a coffee shop some-where.

“I am so OCD,” says Melissa, fastidiously clean-ing me up with a razor and tweezers, fashioning a perfect heart out of heretofore raw materials, coating the final product in baby powder and tea tree oil. “This is Bactine for your hoo-ha,” she ex-plains, admiring her handiwork. And I must say, for a girl like me, the results are both pretty and pretty shocking. “I kicked ass!” I tell Melissa and she agrees. After this, I could do most anything.

She sends me out the door with congratula-tions and a care package: detailed maintenance instructions, an exfoliating glove and a blow pop. As I walk to the car I feel triumphant with my se-cret. There’s a fine line between a skinned cat and a fresh peach, but who’s splitting hairs?

SCISSOR SISTERS

If you still haven’t caught a Richmond Flying Squirrels game, you can get one with fireworks Aug. 12 at 7 p.m. at The Dia-mond. And if Nutzy — or girl-fave shortstop Brandon Craw-ford — can’t keep you entertained, there’s plenty of food and drink to distract you. Tip: It’s cheaper to order tickets by phone, 359-3866, and the Squirrels’ last game is on Labor Day.
