ANOTHER ROUND OF CHASTITY BELTS >>>

Remember last summer's chastity belt art show at Mineral gallery in Tacoma? We do.

Well, loosen those, er, belts, as another group of Northwest artists will take up the chastity belt challenge, crafting contemporary versions of this historical, er, or hysterical accessory. Access Denied: the Second Annual Exhibit of Chastity Belts by Artists, is scheduled to show Saturday, Aug. 14 and Thursday, Aug. 19 (Third Thursday Artwalk) inside Mineral. Owner Lisa Kinoshita says this year's show will have more belts.

The show will run concurrently with Boudoir, a vignette of bedroom furnishings, in Gallery 301 next door.
