Mere class on a higher plane

It's the age-old story - society only starts to realise it's serious when famous people begin getting affected...

Prince Charles has apparently tested positive for Covid-19.

Dear old Terrence McNally - read my tribute to the man on his 75th - the playwright behind some of our fave films and shows here at Dolores Delargo Towers, such as The Ritz, Kiss of the Spider Woman - the musical and Master Class, has been carted off to Fabulon as a result of catching it [he was seriously ill beforehand, but...].

Others whose cause of death has also been attributed to it include Manu Debango (of Soul Makossa fame, one of the seminal songs that was pioneered by the legendary David Mancuso, founding father of Disco), Lucia Bosè (actress, and mother of the lovely Miguel), and Nashom Wooden (drag queen and founder member of possibly the campest House/Dance combo of the '90s, The Ones).

RIP, all.

There is some good news among all this gloom, of course. The weather is gorgeous, and even with those annoying interruptions of work, getting outside into our garden gives us great joy. And now the government has declared that off-licences and wine emporia are "essential shops", so can stay open during the crisis. Yay!

It is indeed very sad news indeed about Mr/Ms Wooden, but - heavens! - what a legacy. Trust a drag queen to get the last word:

The Ones - Flawless

Ah, memories
