I'm gonna burst your bubble, the fun has just begun

Yesterday was not just Betty White Day; it was also the 86th anniversary of the birth of yet another of our cherished Patron Saints (it's certainly the month for them!) - Miss Eartha Kitt...

Her repertoire - inevitably playing the vamp - veered from cabaret to Broadway to chanson, and, eventually (thanks once again to the penchant of 80s British electro Hi-NRG groups to team up with gay icons) to dance music.

To round off this chilly and miserable week, here's a shining example of the latter, as Miss Kitt teams up with with the Bronski Beat boys on the fantabulosa Cha Cha Heels:

Bronski Beat and Eartha Kitt - Cha Cha Heels

I'm all dressed up and ready to fall in love.
Are you ready heels? Start stomping!

Here I am looking for crime I'm looking for some action
What I have a million times will give you satisfaction
So don't you mess around with me you won't know what to do
'Cause I'll put on my cha cha heels and walk all over you.

Gimme gimme cha cha heels.
All I want is cha cha heels
Gimme gimme cha cha heels
If I don't get my cha cha heels
I'll walk all over you.

Dressed up just for trouble to do what must be done
I'm gonna burst your bubble, the fun has just begun
So don't you mess around with me you won't know what to do
'Cause I'll put on my cha cha heels and walk all over you.

Gimme gimme cha cha heels.
All I want is cha cha heels
Gimme gimme cha cha heels
If I don't get my cha cha heels
I'll walk all over you.

I'm all dressed up and ready to fall in love!
I'm all dressed up. Gimme Gimme Gimme!

Going back to Boise I'm itching for a fight
I'm looking for a lover who loves my dynamite
So don't you mess around with me you won't know what to do
'Cause I'll put on my cha cha heels and walk all over you.

If that doesn't lift your spirits, there is no hope. Thank Disco It's Friday!

Have a good weekend...

Eartha Kitt is (once more) our newest "exhibit" in the Dolores Delargo Towers Museum of Camp.

Even more Eartha.
