WRAP 23 Another One Bites The Dust You know you’re a one-woman man (read: whipped) if you find yourself parked on a mall bench and holding a purse on Saturday afternoons, instead of playing football with the guys. Sheesh. The things you do for love. GUEST EXPERT; Sandra Bernhard she s sexually ambiguous, yet sensual. Hideous, yet beautiful. Crass, yet classy. And she’s one busy lady. After stalking publicists, threat ening managers and throwing a few temper tantrums, we finally tracked down the ever-elusive Sandra. She’s just wrapped her new action/adventure flick, Apocalypse— a sci-fi space odyssey where she plays the captain of a salvage ship — and was kind enough to spare a few thoughts on hellish dates and other things.
