' :, aren't just for women Can a truly masculine bubble bath be made? just took my first bubble bath, and I liked it. Ever since I saw a "Frasier" rerun in which the sitcom's cast barged in on I Frasier while he was in the middle of a bubble bath, the male-taboo bubbles have fascinated me. I'd grown accustomed to the RossHanig U-WIRE

movie and TV -driven stereotype that bubble baths are meant for women. Women who always seem to have at least two-dozen scented candles on hand with, of course, a bottle of Chardonnay chilled and ready for bubble time. But when I saw a man basking in his own bubbles on TV, the sight shocked me. Still, Frasier had his scented candles burning bathside while he sipped his slender glass of bubbly. Not much of a man's bubble bath­ the show's writers merely hid a man in woman's bubbles. I then set out to create the man's bubble bath. Argh! its MLK weekend tainted by racial fear No chilled Chardonnay or scented candles with my bath.

I pulled up the water stop in the bathtub, turned on the hot water and _ poured in the entire bottle of liquefied bubbles. While the tub filled up I walked into my room to pick out the bath-time musical selec­ tion. As much as I'd been set on man's music, Nine Inch Nails and bubbles just didn't match. Next thing I knew, Madonna was in the CD player and her ballads were set to go for the next hour. Not exactly the thrash I'd pictured, but something just seemed so right about me, Madonna and a steamy bubble bath all in the same picture. But when it came time for the beer, I simply couldn't see drinking alone. More so, the same way industrial music's grinding wouldn't mix well with bubbles, neither would beer. And as tempting as it was, no way was a bottle of Chardonnay coming within drinking range of my bubbles. After all, I had my manhood to think of. I stepped into the tub and laid down in my very first bubble bath. At first I was a little lost in the bubbles. I felt as if I'd entered woman's sacred territory and couldn't find my way. Slowly, I grew accustomed to the bubbles, building little bubble buildings and demolish­ ing them into the water. I lay back, closed my eyes and let Madonna do the rest. About I 0 minutes later the water began to lose its heat. I lifted myself up, opened the drain valve, turned on the shower and rinsed off my raspberry tainted suds. Although the bath was over, the scent remained. I watched "X-Files" that night smelling like I was far too in touch with my feminine side. But as I sat there on the couch, the tingle lingered. I thought of the bubbles, the sensations, Madonn3 and relished the afterglow.
