choices here. Foremost are the “flower fairies,”
small, lean figurines ($12.99) who look like
Hummels become gym bunnies. Steve and Larry
explain their appeal: “There’s one with total atti
tude!” and “There’s the very hot elf fairy!”
The book Decoding Egyptian Hieroglyphs
($18.95), notes Steve, helps in that pesky task of
“designing your own tomb.” Both campy and art
ful, the leopard-spotted “Safariware” glass line—
martini glasses, goblets and pitchers ($12 to $30)—
looks like it came from the Jayne Mansfield estate.
Stocking stuffers include “retro spoof mugs”
with tacky messages ($8.50); art pottery knock
offs ($8.99); “lucky German mushroom tree
ornaments” (along with the rarely sighted “lucky
German mini-carrot tree ornament”) for $6 or so;
and the ubiquitous Frida Kahlo in the form of
“ 10 very mighty little magnets” for $12.99.
Wild Life also has gift certificates and a gift
registry for when you decide to make it legal (or
as close as we can get to it).

For those occasional nights when the Real
Tiling comes along, there are two indispensable
Joe Lube products: the lube itself for $11.95 and
“ 12 Lubed Helmets” (condoms) for $5.95.
Gai-Pied caters largely to gay men, but
there are also a number of items of dykish
interest, from magazines (Curve, On Our
Backs) to calendars focusing on goddesses,
drag kings and, again, On Our Backs, to the
useful Damron Women’s Traveller guide (a
bargain at $15.95 for 616 pages).
Queers of every stripe will appreciate Gai-
Pied’s wide selection of rainbow items, among
them flags ($15.95-$23.95), wind socks ($4.95)
and votive or oil candleholders ($9.95-$22.95).
The store also carries more than
70 different boxed sets of queer-
themed cards, with 10 to a box
for $14.95.
