Musicians in the Ring

Sex Appeal

By Heidi Burns | February 21, 2003

Looking for a lewdly-shaped cake pan, some boob straws or that long sought-after dildo? Take a drive down Route 29 and turn into Ultimate Bliss, Charlottesville's only adult store, next to the KFC. The entrance is crammed with kinky lingerie and other less scandalous items, such as lubricants and condoms, creating what manager Paul Weber calls "a buffer zone," should any unsuspecting families wander in. The well-lit rooms are monitored by Weber himself or by video surveillance.

Hungry? Why Wait? Pita Pit feeds snowed-in students

By Elizabeth Stanek | February 20, 2003

Last Saturday was just like any other Saturday afternoon in Charlottesville. The white stuff peppered down on University Avenue and owners of the bestial Land Cruiser preened as their heads grew ten sizes while their 4-wheel drive careened through the snow with cocky declarations of "How do you like this SUV now!" And I (to be perfectly candid) was lying on the couch, my mouth watering at "The Naked Chef" -- Food TV's spastic Brit who is constantly firing things up for his oh-so-close knit circle of "rugby" pals. You see, I was a tad bit hungry with this whole "blizzard" thing going on, but times were tough.
