| Tamara N. Shope: Albuquerque dishes up sizzling news
I anticipate the sound of a collective tummy rumble this week, because much of the news I have to share has to do with the restaurant scene. And, boy, is it juicy. Up first, there's something many of us have been waiting more than a year and a half to hear: Central Avenue has an O'Niell's Pub again. After some lease issues in December 2004, owner Rob O'Niell closed his pub at 3211 Central Ave. S.E. But on Friday, he unlocked the doors for a "soft opening" at the new spot, 4310 Central Ave. S.E. That means a big, grand opening celebration is in the works. That one is planned for sometime later this month. If you're interested in popping in for those festivities, keep an eye on the pub's Web site: www.oniells.com. Also on the site is information about how to apply for a job, pub hours and more (a menu is coming soon).
Worker for DCF contractor faces sex charge
A Port St. Lucie man who has worked for years as a support coordinator for mentally retarded adults was arrested Wednesday on allegations of sexual misconduct with a client. Jose Garcia, 56, worked for Indian River Coordinators, which contracted with the Florida Department of Children and Families. Garcia's job, as investigators described it, was to help mentally retarded adults get and keep jobs. .
Brazilian Beauty Without Bumps
The latest buzz from the streets of Madison Avenue to the beaches of Brazil is that girls in-the-know are "taking it all off." Gwyneth Paltrow said it "changed her life." Sex in the City created a cult following around it. What could possibly be such a life changing event? Brazilian waxing, of course! Once you go to Brazil, there's no coming back. "Getting in touch with your inner sex goddess would begin with the Brazilian wax," says Eva Longoria from Desperate Housewives. It's a fashion staple for those who wear Cosabella thongs, revealing bikinis and women who want to feel extra sexy under their outfit. Glamour girls adore the smooth look of a Brazilian but dread the pain, razor bumps and irritation that can accompany it. They have a love/hate relationship with waxing, shaving, laser hair removal and depilatories in the sensitive bikini area because hair removal can be quite painful.
