Lesbian models needed for photo project

by Doreen Cudnik

Cuyahoga Community College photography student and Chronicle freelancer Barbara Bodemer is beginning a personal project

in portraiture and human figure work. She is currently looking for gay women from the Cleveland area who are interested in working with her on this unique project.

Her black and white images were recently

displayed at the Griffon Gallery as a part of their "Queer As You Wanna Be" show in November 1994. In his review of the show, Chronicle arts and entertainment critic Barry Daniels dubbed her work as “among the most powerful."

To participate in the project, models must be of legal age and willing to sign a release. Serious inquiries should be directed to her at 216-226-1640

After eleven years at the same location on W. 115th Street, Body Language, Cleveland's erotic boutique, has outgrown its space and is moving up the street to the corner. The new entrance will be under a green awning at the north-east corner of West 115th and Lorain Ave.

To accomplish the move, the store will be closed on Sunday, March 26, but will reopen in the new location at noon on Monday, March 27. A grand opening is scheduled for the weekend of April 1.

The new space will feature larger rooms for the more than 600 videos in stock, a complete magazine section to feature the more than 111 titles, book space, and a larger, more dramatic leather room. There will also be room for more apparel, accessories and toys, and more space to expand the women's books, magazines and erotica.

Owner Paul Zeitzew is running a video rental special on Friday and Saturday, March 24 and 25. Videos on those days will be 3 for

$8.00 and can be returned to the new location on Monday and Tuesday. "It'll be easier to move empty boxes while people are at home watching the actual videos than to schlep them down the street," Zeitzew said.

For the second year, gay-owned Parker's Restaurant at 2801 Bridge Avenue in Cleveland's Ohio City has been rated "best in Ohio" by the Zagat Survey of Ohio Restaurants. The nationwide guide, which is completed by diners who send in their commentary, said, "Parker Bosley is a genius at bringing out the flavor, texture and color of the fresh ingredients local farmers produce, and his Ohio City showcase epitomizes lowkey, elegant dining."

Bosley, who grew up on a farm and later learned his craft in France, said those were two of the factors that led to his interest in food and cooking. "Living in a small town in France, food is just so much a part of the culture. People farm, they cook what they grow, and the restaurants feature seasonal foods." His restaurant is a testament to that rural way of life. "I think food should be related to the region where you live your climate, your geography-so this restaurant reflects the agriculture of the Midwest. We serve a lot of pork, beef, veal, duck and chicken-we're very traditional, very classic."

In addition to running the restaurant, Bosley also operates a catering service and a cooking school. For information about the school, call 216-771-7130.

Guys, get out those umbrellas and clear your calendar, because it's going to be "Raining Men" at U4ia on April 9. Cleveland Public Theatre and the Gay People's Chronicle will be hosting an all-male auction to benefit the theatre. Cleveland's finest gay men have been gathered, and all you have to do to have a dream date with one of these handsome hunks is be the highest bidder.

The event will be hosted by WHK radio personality Buck Harris, host of the Gay 90's, and will be broadcast live from U4ia the night of the show.

Tickets are $5 and are available day of show at U4ia, 10630 Berea Rd. in Cleveland. For more information, call Nancy Burkinshaw at 216-631-2727

Take the Pride Ride to

the Indigo Girls concert

by Brynna Fish

The Indigo Girls are coming to northeastern Ohio, sort of. On Saturday, April 15, the Indigo Girls will be appearing in Erie, Pa at the Warner Theater, in their closest stop to Cleveland on a limited tour. Their most recent release, Swamp Ophelia, went gold on the Billboard charts only weeks after it was released last summer. Their hit Power of Two was included in the sound track of Boys on the Side, the hit film starring Whoopi Goldberg. They will be appearing in Erie with a full band, and opening the show will be the incomparable lesbian folk singer

Ferron.

Cleveland area fans can see the Girls by getting their concert tickets and a round trip bus ride through the Pride Ride. Pride Ride is being sponsored by the Cleveland Lesbian Gay Bisexual Pride organization, in cooperation with Belkin and Bluefish Productions. For $50, you get a preferred seating

chartered coach bus ride, door prizes and surprises.

The Pride Ride will depart Cleveland at 6:00 pm April 15 and will return immediately after the concert. Limited seats are available. To reserve your space, call 216371-9714 or send checks payable to: Pride Ride, c/o Brynna Fish, 3052 Meadowbrook Blvd., Cleveland Heights 44118.
