SCARY STORIES STUFFED ANIMALS. Scare the Beanies -- and maybe even the blues! -- away with NYC artist Wendy Gardner's Killer Kiwi Devil Cat (described as "not very positive"), a piranha named Poor Sarah Got Sold for Ten Bucks (also her biography), and Sir Leo Lick-a-Lot (reminds me of a mother's admonition in one NY Times "Metropolitan Diary: "Sweetie, this is New York. You can't lick the steps"). Available at Totem.

HOW MANY? A recent Yankelovich phone survey shows that 28% of Americans have had two to five sexual partners; 15% have had just one. Margin of error: 1 partner standing nearby.

TWINKIE FAMINE!!! Well, maybe it's just as well. But just in case:

RECIPE: HOMEMADE TWINKIES
SUPPLIES
   Twinkie-size bottle
   12 pieces of aluminum foil
   Pastry bag
   Toothpick
FOR THE CAKE
   3 egg whites 16-ounce box yellow cake mix
   2/3 cup water
   Nonstick spray
FOR THE FILLING
   2 tablespoons butter
   1/3 cup vegetable shortening
   1 cup confectioners sugar
   1/4 cup granulated sugar
   1/3 cup evaporated milk
   1 teaspoon vanilla extract
   2 drops lemon extract
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Make molds one at a time by shaping a piece of foil around the bottle, leaving one long side open. Arrange molds on a cookie sheet and apply nonstick spray.
Beat egg whites until stiff, then combine with cake mix and water and blend. Fill each mold 3/4-inch deep with batter and bake about 30 minutes.
Cream butter and shortening, then slowly add sugars, evaporated milk and extracts, mixing until fluffy.
When cakes are done and cooled, use a toothpick to make three small holes in the bottom of each for filling. Using the pastry bag, inject each cake with filling through all three holes.
