The fashion pack? She created them...

Heavens. The original "bad girl" of the couture world, fashion designer beloved of both Freddie Mercury and Princess Diana, Queen of Pinkness, Dame Zandra Rhodes is eighty years old today!

All hail.

In her honour, how about...this rather appropriate house favourite?

Many happy returns, Dame Zandra Lindsey Rhodes (born 19th September 1940)!

Champagne, caviar, haute-couture, expensive cars



It's that time of year again, when the bets begin on exactly how old (and, possibly, what gender) is our Patron Saint of Purring Miss Amanda Lear (whose birthday it was yesterday)...

As she herself has said many times before, however, it is nobody's business but her own - so instead, let's take our minds off the impending week of gloom on this Tacky Music Monday with the lady herself, and enough artificial satin on her accompanying safety gays and twirling dancers to spark a fire in that BBC tent!


Have a great week, dear reader.

Suddenly I felt like dancing



It's Easter Bank Holiday, and of course millions of Brits are heading out for a miserable day in the rain at the seaside.

Time was when this particular British pastime was somewhat brightened by the prospect of the arrival at your chosen resort of the cheesiest of all 70s BBC variety shows - Seaside Special!

Alongside the likes of Little and Large, Keith Harris and Orville, Lena Zavaroni, Bernie Clifton, Showaddywaddy, The Wurzels, Sacha Distel, Peters and Lee, Val Doonican, Ronnie Corbett and Brotherhood of Man, they occasionally managed to entice some true talents to that draughty Big Top.

Amazingly, one of them was one of our patron saints here at Dolores Delargo Towers, Miss Amanda Lear! So, on this Tacky Music Monday, I'll let the performance speak for itself...


Dazzling!

It was night and suddenly I felt like dancing.
I took a cab to show me to the disco scene.

He said: "OK, you wanna see those crazy people,
hustling at the door to get into Studio 54?!"

When I was in, everybody was Travolting!
The fashion queens, the models and the movie stars.
Andy snapping, Margeaux dancing with Scavullo.
Liza dancing on the floor and Bianca walking through the door.

Who is in?
Who is out?
Tell me, tell me, tell me!

Who is in?
Who is out?
Famous and trendy?!

"In-People" always have to smile in "Vogue".
They only travel by Concorde.
Doing things YOU can´t afford!

They are the fashion pack.
The people you see in the magazines.
They are the fashion pack.
They are always smiling in their limousines.

They only come out after dark, got to keep on their trendy tracks.
They are the fashion pack.

Rockstars sniffing, while Marisa is posing.
Bianca counting her paintings, the models of Zoli´s flirting...

Hey! what's your name?
Didn't I see you in "Interview" last month, or was it the "Ritz"?
Gee, You're so famous!
May I have your autograph?
Thanks! I will keep it forever!
