You can be a tramp, a junkie or a star

It's a lovely Spring-like day out there, it's payday, and the weekend (also forecast to be sunny) is almost upon us, so let's get ready to let our "lockdown hair" loose!

Providing a most bizarre warm-up to that "party-in-our-heads", here's Theo Vaness, lead singer of a popular 60s-70s rock-pop band in the Netherlands called The Shoes, who in 1979 struck out on his own to release a remarkable "gay disco anthem" - which, for this performance, some TV show producer thought might best be accompanied by...some strippers! [2024 UPDATE: That version is gone from the interwebs, so I have replaced it with the more anodyne "official video"]

Utterly mind-boggling.

Have a faboo weekend, dear reader - Thank Disco It's Friday!

  4. Blimey! That was... something.

    Anyway - Hooray! Sunshine! I've already been out in the garden tidying up and potting up some kaffir lilies that a lady down the road was giving away. I also got a bag of Crocosmia "Lucifer" (my favourite) corms from her which need planting, too.

    Happy weekend!

    1. Happy weekend, indeed! - the sunshine is beckoning me to tackle some of the sturdier herbaceous in pots (Thalictrum, Phlox) that need a bit of TLC (some new soil/slow-release granules). Need more coffee first... Jx

      PS we loved our Crocosmia "Lucifer" at the last place but, quite sensibly, gave them to the boys in Essex as they're not the sort of plant that would easily adapt to being in a pot - not the way they spread!
