(UPI)—Tammy Faye Bakker, whose evangelist husband Jim Bakker fell from grace in a sex scandal, says the way to keep a husband happy is to flirt with him, wear plenty of makeup and be unpredictable. That advice appears in a book called "Christian Wives—Women Behind the Evangelists Reveal Their Faith in Modern Marriage." The book is due out next month from Doubleday. "You don't have to be dowdy to be a Christian," she said. Her husband never knows what to expect from her and that is the reason their sometimes rocky marriage has lasted for 26 years, Tammy Bakker said in the book. "I like to be different people for my husband," she said. "I wear different wigs all thetime. Jim never knows if I'm going to be a redhead, a blonde or a brunette—I like to keep him guessing." She tells critics of her heavy makeup to mind their own business. "I don't care as long as I'm notoffend- ing God," she said. "I want to do as much for myself as I can and it's not for them, it's for my husband. I have a right to do what I want." The Bakkers and their marriage have been scrutinized in recent weeks since Jim'Bakker resigned as chairman ofthe PTL, an television evangelism network, and admitted to a one-time sexual encounter seven years ago with a church secretary. Subsequently, the ex-wife of country singer Gary Paxton told a newspaper the evangelist strayed because he was jealous over Tammy Bakker's infatuation with Paxton. Tammy Bakker traces her love for makeup to age 12, when she had a part Call 529-8490 and You will be in Next Week's Newspaper of Montrose Judge Denies Danburg's Request for a Continuance A Houston judge has approved the start of trial for a Catholic priest accused of sexually assaulting a 9-year-old boy. District Judge Albert Pruett denied a motion Wednesday to delay the start of trial for Donald Stavinoha, 43. The request was based on the fact that one of Stavinoha's attorneys is state Rep. Debra Danburg, who is in Austin for the legislative session. Danburg has been accused of hiring herself out as a minor attorney and then using her position as a state representative to gain delays in trials for the clients. State law allows legislators who are attorneys to delay trial of their cases until 30 days after the Legislature adjourns. Pruett ordered Stavinoha's trial to begin as scheduled Tuesday. The priest was arrested last May when police say they found him in a van engaging in a sexual act with the boy. Prosecutor Jon Munier testified at the Wednesday hearing that he has had no contact with Danburg concerning the case, and that his dealings have been with Stavinoha's lead attorney, Edward Mallett. Danburg's district includes much of Montrose and a portion ofthe Heights. in a school performance of "Oklahoma." The musical—and other things she liked—were frowned upon by the Pentecostal church she attended so she stopped going to church, according to the book. But a schoolmate eventually invited her to a revival, during which she accepted an altar call and confessed her sins. The emotion ofthe moment apparently got out of hand and hours later- after everyone else had left—her mother was summoned to remove her from the altar and take her home. She attended church from that time on, but she also continued to wear her makeup, dress in bold colors and wear wigs. She had to be talked out of a bright red dress she wanted to wear to her own wedding. She said her clothes and jewelry do not cost as much as critics have suggested because she shops carefully. In fact, she said, shopping is how she deals with life's problems. "When I'm shopping, I don't think about the bills at PTL," she said. "There's times I just have to quit thinking and the only way I can quit thinking is by shopping." We're Houston's Largest Gay Audience. We're the readers of the Montrose Voice.
