Actually I really like Queen, but my people have always had a soft spot for tragic/brassy women right from Judy Garland to Kylie Minogue.
I wouldn't expect you to understand Hobbs.

Actually I do understand that's why I am pulling your pudding matey.
Tragic lonley etc.
But then daylight comes when you grow up and say sod it this is me and actually i'm OK.
So why carry on with the tradgedy bit.
But then perhaps i don't understand after all.

No I don't think you do. In it's own little way tragedy is camp. Looking at these women lurch from one tragedy to another but still looking fabulous at the end of it is camp.

Thank's
Now I get it.
It's a bit like going to watch a film because you know it is going to make you cry.
|
Raymond

Something like that yes. It's also about looking at ballsy women. There's nothing like a ballsy woman to get a gay man excited.
Think Dorothy Squires.
One tragedy after the other, always pissed up on Gin, shouting at everyone, lost all her money but still looked great and belted out fabuloous songs.
Oh, now I have to listen to some Dorothy Squires...

Blighmey Raymond, she was almost before my time.
Wasn't she married to the guy who played Simon Templar in the saint.
Rodger Moore?
|
Raymond
|
For a while yes. That's the other thing, she was never a looker bless her but she bagged a man at least 10 years younger, and Roger Moore was a stunner in his day.
She ordered him around like a slave and practically built up his career.
That's a ballsy woman.
Still, he did pay for all her cancer treatment before she died without a pot to piss in.

Raymond

Come on, how can anybody not love this...

F me
It's a white Shirley Bassey.
I wonder if Rodger Moore used her fame to further his own career which I think was a male model initially.
Cardigans being a speciality.
|
Raymond
|
Yes he did. He bled her dry as well. It was thanks to Dot that he had a career in America.
Everytime she got drunk her mouth would run away with her, bless her, and she outed a few of the top knobs at the BBC.
The BBC dumped her and so did Roger.
After that nobody would touch her, but being such a ballsy gal she paid for all her records and concerts out of her own pocket.
She personally hired the Palladium in 1970 and '71 and the concerts ran for weeks.
She really is an inspiration.
|
Raymond
|
Bless her though, she always loved Roger and used to sing this song to a picture of him right up into the 90's

Raymond we really should move next door to each other.
We could lean on the garden fence having a quiet fag and gossip for England
|
Raymond
|
Now that would be camp.
|
evergreen
|
haha
so why is Kylie tragic... ? I think she has an incredible life.. nothing tragic there.. yes she had cancer like millions of women and yes she beat it.. go the girls

Wow I loved those clips raymond. I love the old fashioned singers but ive never heard of dorothy sqiures. i will look her up now. raymond do you like shirley bassey?
|
Raymond
|
Do I like Shirley Bassey?
Scott, I spend most of the time walking around thinking I am Shirley Bassey.
When I look in the mirror I see myself in a feather boa with an orchestra behind me.
I even have a shrine set up to her in my bedroom. You're welcome to come round and worship at it anytime you like.
Not that I'm trying to entice you into my bedroom, you understand.

|
Raymond

These days old Hobbsy has to do a lot of rubbing to get a decent shine Mark.
|
david hobbs
|
Yes I have seen his shrine to.
It's situated at the local boozer just to the left of the public bar.
It attracts all sorts of worshippers mostly because Raymundo is buying.
Well you have to get friends any way you can!!!!!!

The cabbage is dating the carrot and why not.
Funny thing is I have PM'ed all the women on here one after the other and asked for a date but they obviously didn't get the message because I didn't get a single reply.
