Not only are the ties turning up bn men everywhete, according to pie February issue of Esquire, but [women also are adopting the style. The name “bolo” is a corruption lol the Spanish bola and seems to come from boleadoras, the , Argen tine gaucho’s equivalent of the lariat — three balled weights at the ends of a forked rope. The inspiration for its current popularity may have come from Dennis Hopper sporting one in the film “Blue Velvet,” from Ralph Lau ren adorning his Polo with a bolo and from Bruce Springsteen ap pearing on a magazine cover wear ing one.

As for the bolo’s renewed popu larity, Steve Weil of Rockmount Ranch Wear in Denver has a strictly functional explanation, based on the failings of the traditional necktie. “How many times do I spill coffee on that sucker?” Weil asked. TOKYO (AP) — Affluent Japa nese are gobbling up gourmet good ies riddled with gilt these days. Sake, tea, cakes and sushi are among gold-laced victuals available for a price. Cashing in on the gold rush, the Sogo Department Store in Nara, an ancient city famous for its temples, plans to sell a $35,0 cup of coffee. Beginning in March, customers will be able to admire a $700,000 Re noir painting while savoring Blue Mountain coffee brewed with F rench mineral water. The coffee, served from a golden teapot, will be topped with gold dust, says Nobuhisa Tomishige, a store spokesman. Only four customers at a time, please, in the elegant shop modeled after the residences of Brit ish royalty. Tomishige says the trend reflects the “overflowing money phenome non,” in which Japanese consumers spend an increasing amount of their money on high-priced goods. An entrepreneur in Osaka, in western Japan, sells sushi containing paper-thin gold foil at his otherwise modest street stall. Cooks in Tokyo sprinkle gold dust on noodles, and department stores sell it on everything from cakes to tea. They even offer gold-plated re frigerators Jx> keep golden leftovers fresh. Like many Japanese sake brewers, the Fukufnusume Co. in Kobe, west ern Japan, sells crystal-clear bottles of rice wine that, when tilted, glitter with a blizzard of golden flakes. A bottle costs $21 to $35, three to four times the cost of plain rice wine, says spokesman Yutaka Takahashi. “The idea of putting gold in drinks goes back a long way, because we have always kind of equated gold with auspicious events,” Takahashi says. He says his company began mar keting golden sake to commemorate the marriage of Emperor Akihito in 1959, and sales have been growing. Along with its stocks of gold sake, the swank Mitsukoshi Department Store in Tokyo’s famous Ginza shop ping district is ready to quench cus tomer thirst with gold-flecked green tea leaves for $21 a pack. Mitsukoshi also offers a box of five gold- crowned chocolates for $70. “We really just started stocking a wide variety of gold-flaked foods this year,” says spokesman Junji Tanaka. Like Tomishige, he says brisk sales reflect the consumers’ de sire for luxury goods — and their ability to pay for them. Just down the street, a bite-size cheesecake with gold sprinkles goes for $2.40 at the Matsuzakaya De partment Store’s Shiseido Parlor. A morsel of chocolate cake with gold flakes is $1.40. For those who want to create their own confections, 0.058 grams of gold dust are available at another Tokyo department store, Takashi maya, for $ 10.50. There’s no need to feel guilty about consuming gilt. It’s calorie- free. $40 $40 $40 $40 $40 $40 $40 $40 $40 $40 $40 $40 necklaces $40 $40 $40 $40 $40 $40 NEW COLD STUDY Individuals who frequently develop or have recently developed a cold to participate in a short research study with a currently avail able prescription medication. $40 incentive for those chosen to participate. $40 $40 $40 $40 $40 $40 $40 $40 $40 $40 $40 $40 $40 $40 $40 $40 $40 $40 $200 $200 $200 $200 $200 $200 $200 $200 $200 $200 $200 $200 $200 $200 $200 FEVER STUDY $200 $200 Short 8 hour at home study to evaluate individuals 17 years and $200 $200 older who have a temperature of 101° or greater. $200 incentive $200 $200 for those chosen to participate.
