Page 12 Portland Observer, December 10, 1981 The next world war? Beauty business expanding by Ron Burrows Just a few short months ago the Observer ran a feature about Butch Coors, the Los Angeles hair and beauty expert who had just opened a new salon at NE 14th and Broad way. Today, Butch reports that the story and his continuing Observer ad campaign have brought in hun dreds of customers from all parts of the Portland metropolitan area. W alk into the salon tomorrow, ask Butch what's new and he’ll say (with that quick Coors grin) “ Everything!" A lot has changed in the past months. The personnel have ex panded from just Butch himself to a staff of seven, including a manicur ist. Mary, Michael, M ark, Sharon and Richard now share the responsi bility for “ Keeping Oregon Beauti ful.” And, what Butch now proudly of fers is a full service salon— a total program of beauty, health and fit ness— everything from “ the best curl in town at the best price" to eyelash tinting and herbal body wraps to revitalize your entire sys tem. Mary starts with the client’s own basic skin color, and gives cus tomers complete color coordination they can use in choosing everything from make-up and fashions to the color or their next automobile! Hair services range from cutting, curling, coloring and perms to the new transparent haircolor Cello phanes, the vibrant—and safe— new colors with no peroxide or ammonia to harm the hair. Butch believes in softening Black hair (as opposed to "straighten ing"), and dows a great deal of that these days. He also loves working with children (" T h e y ’re people, too!**) and some days gets as many as five at a time. Child or adult, Butch is firm in his convictions about styling to the individual’s personality and face. He is constantly abreast of the latest trends, but sets many trends o f his own and does not name his original styles because “ there are so many of them.” In the Skin Care department, Mary recommends a once-a-month visit with customers doing their own home care in between salon sesion, using the 100 per cent pure products she uses. (They contain aloe, V ita min E and collagen.) Some local plastic surgeons send their patients to Masry for pre-and-post surgery cosmetic consultations. For sparse eyelashes, M ary weaves in real hair at the Coors salon to make lashes thicker and more luxuriant without make-up— great for skiers, swimmers, people who wear glasses. She tints eye lashes and brows as well. Individual and group consulta tion is available at Coors* on make up application, with make-up coor dinated to skin tones and applied to minimize imperfections. The Herbal M ary creates new hair style for Fredie. Body W rap restores collagen back into the entire system for a com pletely revitalizing effect (the wrap itself takes an hour and a half; the complete process a couple o f days), stimulating circulation and aiding muscle tone. Body Waxing employs the European style of hair removal — and wax, rather than tweezing, is used for shaping eyebrows. Butch, who has announced a 6 pm January 14th Make-Up Seminar and Color Coordination Class, does indeed seem to be rapidly providing Portlanders with “ The Salon for the ’80s.” (Continued from page I coi. 3) Yassir Arafat. These anti-Israel factions are starting to get their viewpoint heard more frequently, says Anderson. " T h e greatest danger to Israel is that the Arab world has gotten its media trip together, and their prop aganda war is not offensive to most peo p le." This development is in contrast to a generally pro-Israel at titude that has prevailed in the U.S. since World War II. Now that U.S. politicians have become concerned about maintaining the massive flow of oil coming from Arab states, this attitude is changing, she adds. “ It’s sentimental in Congress now to think of Israel." Much o f the blame should be placed with the P L O , Anderson maintains. " T h e P L O wants war and doesn’t care how they get it. ’ Liquidate’ is the PLO ’s word, and Saudi Arabia is bankrolling them.” I f a war o f exterm ination occurs against the Israelis, Anderson asks, " D o we have the boats to pick up three million Jews?” Into this cast of characters comes the North African country of Libya, its oil supply and its colorful and controversial leader. C ol. Moam- mer Khadafy. Anderson minces no words. "Khadafy is the closest thing to a Hitler we have had. He’s erratic and fanatic; he wants to create a revolutionary Islamic nation (in Libya). He supports Ira n , but is more revolutionary. He also sup ports the PLO . but then, all Arab states do.” Anderson says the only democrat ic state in the Middle East is Israel, which was established after W orld W ar I I . " T h e League o f Nations was established and the old O tto man Empire was dissolved,” she ex plains. "Territory was set up to help people govern themselves as demo cratic nations. In 1947, Britain and France gave up [their hold on the area) and independence was granted on the condition o f foreign pres ence.” Anderson thinks attempts are be ing made to set up another Ottoman Empire in the Middle East, with Is lam as the cohesive force. " T h e Moslem religion holds them to gether. By the year 2,000, there will be one thousand million Moslems in the w o rld — the largest religious group in the w o rld — and we’ ll be back to the days of the Crusades." This development bodes nothing but ill for the Jewish people, A n derson says. “ Jews and Christians arc beneath contempt to Moslems.” This enmity stems from a centuries- old claim by Jews and Arabs that both are descendants o f Abraham, she explains, and that these descend ants would head great nations. Added to this is the fact that the Koran (M oslem equivalent to the Bible) is claimed to be the final and unchangeable world o f God, and Christians claim the same (fo r the Bible), she adds. In the midst of this religious and political mess, can’t all parties learn to get along? Anderson is skeptical. "N ot when you’re dealing with 13th century m entality. W e’ re dealing with a different culture. In the Mos lem world there is no reason to bet ter the lot of people here, the glory is when you die.” Anderson was opposed to the sale o f advanced warning aircraft (AW ACs) to Saudi Arabia, because "Saudi Arabia has said, ’ Israel is our enemy.’ ” She supporteed Sen. Bob Packwood's (R -O re .) fight against the sale and says, " H e is a man of conviction. He is pro-Israel and w ill fight to the last drop o f blood on that issue ” This stance is becoming less com mon, however, and Anderson sees more problems for Israel as concern over keeping oil flowing to U.S. in dustry turns American sentiment in creasingly toward the Arab point of view. "A s Leon Uris said, the Jews are in the eye of the cyclone.” N E X T WEEK: Another view. Class aids job finding Job hunting is often an irrational process filled with failure. Portland Com m unity College winter term class entitled "J o b Finding Techniques" addresses these frustrations and how to overcome them in a goal-directed manner. The eight-week class begins January 4th at 7:00 p.m . at Markhain School. PCC schedules are available at libraries and college campuses.
