LOOKING BACK: Penny Hoar loved full-length mirrors.

"I am a trysexual: Try everything. Sex with women, for me, has to have a total emotional connection. Sex with guys: Give me a cute transvestite in a skirt. But fundamentally, for relationships, I am a mind queen."

-- The late Penny Hoar -- artist, whore and one-time federal Rhino Party candidate -- in the book Whore Carnival, by Shannon Bell. (Reprinted in XTRA! February 27, 1997.)
