Designer extraordin by Ariel Spaeth Health/Beauty/Fashion editor It is not altogether rare to discover a unique talent in Boise, but to find someone who creates his own brand of style and artistic expression represents a treat. Todd Allen comes to mind at once. Whether styling the hair of some of Boise's bcst-coifed hipsters at Graeber and Co. or designing futuristic apparel made of Mylar and feathers, he is making a name for himself. I was lucky enough to catch hirn at home for an inter- view and to discuss his upcoming events. Unaffected by his renown, Todd remains incredibly sweet and hos- pitable. He began doing hair and introducing his own brand of fashion shows about five years ago in Portland, Maine. To celebrate the opening of his hair salon in an abandoned building and draw out the curious he ,designed gowns made of Mylar-"It's noisier than hell but looks cool"- and named the event DIVA THIS, BITCH. Moving to Boise, he continued the tradition, completing four more DIVAs. This month marks the arrival of his sixth show, J)IV A 96: Seduction of the Masses, which will be held Nov. 22 at Neurolux. Proceeds will benefit The Idaho Humane Society. All of Allen's shows support causes he believes in, such as MS or AIDS Research. Inspired by music, textures and unusual fabrics, Allen's shows explore a shiny, skin-infused world of fashion mixed with performance art. This next show will feature original designs made entirely from paper and music from the Trainspotting Soundtrack.

I was privileged to view his collection of snapshots and became entranced by the array of textures, col- ors and visual array of his designs. A mad collection of chain mail, sheet metal, chiffon, silk and feather boas greeted my eyes. Many of the models were barely recognizable, transformed by wild hair and makeup. Surprisingly, in the age of androgynous looks, the boys were boys and the girls were girls, both showing an abundance of accent- ed flesh. The pictures are transcendent, almost otherworldly. In his future Allen sees an expansion of his designs into a line of cloth-

Ask any woman if she would support a new method of birth control, one where a man takes weekly injections to lower his sperm count, and the response would probably be positive. Ask a man the same question ... The question could become a serious one in the near future, as researchers develop a contraceptive injection The World Health Organization claims could achieve 99 percent effectiveness. Unlike a vasectomy, the effects would not be permanent. In experiments involving men from nine countries, weekly injections of testosterone greatly reduced their sperm counts, sometimes even down to zero. Although the contraceptive is still experimental and could take years to reach the market, researchers remain optimistic. In the past, male pill experiments have caused side effects such as toxicity, impotence, sedation and irreversibility. The only reported side effects of the injection are mild mood swings and acne. Although the responsibility of birth control has tradi- tionally rested on women's shoulders, this new drug could help balance such inequality. This condition has been created by drug companies and scientists, but helped along by traditional cultural perceptions. This drug could benefit women unable to take the pill, those skeptical of possibly dangerous methods such. as Norplant, Depo-Provera and IUDs, or suffer allergic reactions to latex. Of course, the drug would not prevent the spread of HIV or other STDs. The issues now are whether pharmaceutical companies will express an active interest, whether the develop- ment can pass FDA regulations and, most importantly, whether the average American male is willing to take the plunge.

Green Suede Shoes is well worth picking up if you enjoy Irish rock, strong provocative lyrics, and rich music different from the norm. Also, don't tell front man LarryKirwan his band doesn't play Irish music. At a show, one guy demanded Black 47 perform some "Irish" music. To that Kirwan exclaimed, "I'm from Ireland. I wrote this song, that makes it Irish. So shut the fuck up!" Black 47's fourth release, Green Suede Shoes, offers a diverse mix of music, along with thought-provoking lyrics. This Irish band reflects its rebellious views and cultural pride on this CD, and it works. The different types ofmusical influences are skillfully woven through a sturdy framework of rock n' roll. The genres represented include reg- gae, Irish traditional, big band, hip hop, dixieland, and Latin, This list may seem a little too much for one CD, but all these strains contribute to the rich and unique sound of Black 47. In their bio, founder-vocalist-guitarist Larry Kirwan commented, "Green Suede Shoes is a collection of songs about rebellion, lust, longing, humor, resistance, and remembrance." The best songs on the CD arc character pieces about rebellious, color- ful characters set in different locations throughout the world. My favorite song on Green Suede Shoes is "My Love is in New York." Besides great music on this track, the lyrics truly stand out. The song is sung from a first-person point of view of a Vietnam Vet' who uses the memory of his girlfriend in order to hold on to his sanity while fighting the war. But when he returns home, she no longer wants him. He spirals down into depression and ends up on the streets: "But when I got home at last, they jeered and spat at me/ They called me a fascist, said I was the enemy/ I could have put up with all of that/ 'Taws no big thing to me/ But, you killed
