<p> Yes, Hillary, affordable mental-health care can be made available
to all Americans. Just clone the ADVICE LADIES. For the past
five years, this trio of gab-happy, Lycra-clad gal pals has
spent each Saturday on the same Lower Manhattan corner doling
out free counsel to angst-plagued passersby. Throughout their
weekend career (they weekday in the ad world), the Advice Ladies
have guided a New Yorker writer on love and makeup, helped a
mounted cop understand his traffic-paranoid horse and listened
earnestly to men who want simultaneous multiple marriages. "It's
weird, but we get a lot of bigamy questions," says Amy Alkon
(left). What the Ladies are really getting a lot of lately is
attention. Robert DeNiro's Tribeca Films is developing a talk
show around the lively street shrinks for fall, and book offers
seem to be coming as frequently as odd clients. In the meantime,
New York just keeps lining up. Why? "People used to solve their
problems with beer and cheap sex," says Marlowe Minnick (center).
"Now they're looking for more creative solutions."
