Lifestyles

Warning: as you browse GLOWWW, the word "lame" may spring to mind. The page is a virtual card pack including (non-working) buttons to a travel newsletter, video, and catalogs catering to lesbians and gay men. There's an area for guest comments (none visible so far), and numerous promises about what will appear in the future - November, that is (which year? we don't know). Odder still, there's a reference to a bimonthly e-mail newsletter. (Yes, bimonthly. Via e-mail). There are a number of fun and useful lesbian and gay sites; GLOWWW is not one of them.-KW

Guide To Vegetarianism

Like a bowl of lentil soup, this guide is plain but nourishing. There are layers of info and listings by continent and outlet (organizations, newsletters, newsgroups, restaurants), as well as a state-by-state list of resources. An amusing and possibly useful page is the list of fast-food chain eateries itemizing menu items that will pass muster with the traditional vegetarian and the more abstemious vegan. There's a helpful mail-order area of companies offering special foods and cooking utensils. You can also send in a form to add your own veggie picks to their list.-KW

IT'S A GREAT DAY AT AVEDA
Aromatherapy, organic cosmetics, hair and skin care are Aveda's bag, and you can read here about oils and essences from Amyris to Ylang Ylang. (An "information forthcoming" tag is a little too prominent, but plain text on a respectable list of these essences is already in place.) There's a glossary of terms on the sometimes arcane world of aromatherapy and Ayurvedic treatments, links to Aveda workshops and products, a zine, and good page of related links. Handsome and spare, Aveda's site may spur you on to that organic facial. Hey, it can't hurt.-KW

Unofficial Cyberpunk Home Page
O.K., here's our multiple choice question. Cyberpunk is: a literary genre, a visual style, an attitude, a dessert topping. (That's right, it's all of the above.) A true Cyberpunk page would _have_ to be "unofficial,"and this is a helpful start for the sociologist or punker wannabe. There's a biblio of revered authors, from the sainted William Gibson to lesser lights, a hotlist of "CyberCulture" magazines and newsgroups, and links to other cyberpunk sites. Still under construction are the games and movie pages, which will help to round out the site.

Welcome to Fashion Net

At ease, fashion mavens - your site is at hand! Fashion Net offers a consumer area with a good list of links to fashion and style mags, entertainment sites, and yes, shopping sites aplenty. These are conveniently organized by item (jewelry, clothing, accessories, and cosmetics, and, of course, Internet malls). There's even a link to mail order catalogs for the insatiable among us (and speaking of insatiable, a faster modem would help, what with viewing all of those catalog graphics). This is a good starting point for anyone who regularly heeds the call of the magic plastic.-KW
