Another day, another wartime baby... Yesterday we celebrated the 75th birthday of one "Queen of Sequins", Barry Manilow. Today it is the turn of another; as to our amazement we discover that none other than Our Patron Saint of Dramatic-Head-Flicking Signorina Raffaella Carrà has hit the same milestone!
Raffaella Carrà is 75?!! Fuck.
On this Tacky Music Monday, let us celebrate the divine madness of the great lady. She was simply born to occupy our traditionally OTT start-the-week spot - fabulous costumes, frenetic choreography, safety gays and all - so here's a double-bill for your delectation...
Buon compleanno, tesoro!
Raffaella Carrà (born Raffaella Maria Pelloni, 18th June 1943)
Good grief! I'm surprised she hasn't given herself whiplash.
