NINO? That suave gentleman who

trained more hairdressers than Medusa
had curls can be found cutting and comb-
ing most Thursdays and Fridays at the
Antonino Salon in Birmingham. Other
days you may spot him on local links sink-
ing birdie putts with his usual finesse.

CLAIRE PEARONE? She's as glam-

ourous and fashionable as ever living in
a retirement village in Dearborn.

LAFAYETTE AND AMERICAN
CONEY ISLANDS? Nothing's changed,

thank heavens. They continue to serve
the best heart-burning fare around.

THE BIJOU? Now Joe's Bar and Grill,

where Detroit's premier restaurateur Joe
Muer has opened his signature bistro in
Southfield. Succumbing to patron pres-
sure, Joe recently introduced popular
menu items from his famed eastside es-
tablishment. If this is Tuesday, it must
be lobster night.

THE SEXUAL REVOLUTION? Petered

out as AIDS came in. A sadder but wis-
er populace hopefully realizes the last 40
years of freedom from death by sexually
transmitted diseases is over. Even if an
HIV cure is discovered, another deadly
virus lurks just around the next decade.

HATTIE? The internationally known

fashion arbiter resides in Palm Beach,
Fla., where she is director of the Es-
planade Mall. Married to a handsome
Brit, Gary Whitehead, Hattie is as chic as
ever.

THE CHOP HOUSE CROWD? Dis-

persed to Morton's for cholesterol and
clubbiness, the Excalibur for drinking
and dancing, Di Modesta to see and be
seen. Unfortunately, the sum of the parts
will never equal the whole.

WRAPPED NAILS? Replaced by

acrylics and gels. Not worth the price or
the time, according to local manicurists.

WHATEVER
HAPPENED
TO?

JOHN SINCLAIR AND THE MC 5?

-

BY MARJ JACKSON LEVIN

SOUPY SALES, White Fang, Black

Tooth, et al? Still the master of slapstick,
beloved by loyal fans, Soupy resides in
New York and appears in supper and
comedy clubs around the country. Re-
cently cast in a locally produced, ill-fated
film playing ... are you ready for this one
... God!

KENNY WEINER and his scam of gold?

Fell apart blowing the cover on dozens
of embarrassed patsies. Kenny is still in
the clink with two years max to go.

WINTER 1995 • STYLE

SONYA FRIEDMAN? No longer graces

the airways of CNN, but does continue
to lecture and practice psychology in her
Birmingham clinic.

EARL KLUGH? Popular jazz guitarist

continues to live in the north suburbs,
plays around the world.

SUNTANS? Fading away as the cancer

message hits home. Those mahogany
Florida hues do appear dangerously
dated.

Have dissolved and been reborn into
John Sinclair and his Blues Scholars. The
extent of his hipness has yet to be re-eval-
uated, but you can catch his tenor sax on
the recent CD release Full Moon Night.
John has left Ann Arbor to take up resi-
dence in New Orleans.

P'JAZZ AT THE PONTCH? The scene

shifted to Pine Knob where so called mu-
sic lovers seem to enjoy hours ofI-75 traf-
fic jams, being scrunched between
thousands of souls, having their eardrums
punctured by a sonic sound system
screaming into the stratosphere. Oh,
please! Give us Mark James and his band
at the Clawson Steak House anytime. Or
for the true grunge, we'll take Royal
Oak's Three-D Dance Club. El
