Ayahuasca, The Strange South American Brew to the Stars!
By Ann Magnuson
Now that Fashion Week is finally over PAPERMAG can get back to what's really important -- weird new drug crazes! Actually this craze ain't so new. Two Sundays ago the L.A. Times Magazine featured an in-depth article on the magic Amazonian potion Ayahuasca. Affluent Californians and various celebrities have been using the revered jungle hallucinogen as a heavy-duty psychic colonic. This might have been a ground-breaking story if L.A. Woman hadn't written about the same subject FOUR YEARS AGO (in the April 2004 issue, accompanied by the fabulous Norn Cutson illustration above).

About Last Night... Sarah Ferguson Benefit at Cipriani and Ashley Olsen, John Galliano, Sting and Slash at the Waverly Inn
By Caroline Torem Craig
Last night, Halloween Eve, the stars came out in full force for Sarah, Duchess of York’s charity concert series to benefit UNICEF at Cipriani Wall Street. Is there any woman alive that doesn't find Lenny Kravitz kinda cool-looking? And there he was in the blackest of black leather. He breezed passed the red carpet until I screamed, "Lenny, please let us get a full length photo cause you are looking really good!" So he turned on a dime and came back for another 30 seconds! Roberto Cavalli, racecar driver Jeff Gordon, Lucy Liu, wild-maned Victoria Silvstedt were among the guests in attendancee. We asked Sarah if she was going out for Halloween and she said, “Of course, but I’m not telling what my costume is…” We suggested, “How about a princess!” And that got a naughty chuckle from her.
