A cascading cornucopia of cool comics, crazy cartoons, & classic collectables - plus other completely captivating & occasionally controversial contents. With nostalgic notions, sentimental sighings, wistful wonderings, remorseful ruminations, melancholy musings, rueful reflections, poignant ponderings, & yearnings for yesteryear. (And a few profound perplexities, puzzling paradoxes, & a bevy of big, beautiful, bedazzling, buxom Babes to round it all off.)

Feck! Bring back Danny La Rue!
ReplyDeleteI remember hearing that the band Queen had suffered a big drop in popularity in America after they had worn womens' clothes for the video of " I Want To Break Free". Those Americans didn't know about the fine old British tradition of drag - Danny La Rue, Widow Twankey, Old Mother Riley et al.

ReplyDeleteOne of the great delights and confusions for a young boy of going to the pantomime back then was witnessing the Principal Boy jumping about on stage; I mean, the character was male but he was being played by an attractive young female wearing a short outfit and thigh-high boots.
I think they know about it these days, CJ, but they frown upon such things in their own country - at least in the Bible Belt.
