A legend. A diamond.
Bank Holiday or no Bank Holiday, my Mondays would be empty without some razzamatazz...
So, as it is a very British celebration over this double Bank Holiday (Her Madge's Jubilee'n'all), I have settled on a special British "national treasure" to entertain us before the main event of tonight's Gala Concert.
On this Tacky Music Monday, laydeez and gentlemen, let's wish a happy 70th birthday to Miss Anita Harris!
What talent.

A Pageant indeed
The Queen's 1000-boat Diamond Jubilee pageant on the Thames...
...a magnificent occasion.
Enter the Queen(s)
On this day of pageant, as Her Majesty heads a flotilla of hundreds of boats down the Thames in honour of the Diamond Jubilee (which I shall be watching from the dry comfort of Dolores Delargo Towers rather than brave the torrential rain and millions of wet onlookers), here are a couple of appropriate pieces, methinks...
Enter the Queens: Madonna, Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Jones, Freddie Mercury and more
And on a more subtle note (although it probably wasn't at the time!):
Gawd Bless Ya, Ma'am(s)!

I won't give up the fight for you
Many happy returns (yesterday) to the eternal teen heartthrob Mr Jason Donovan!
As we celebrate the great news that Princess Kylie has confirmed she will indeed duet with Jase on Especially for You on stage at the Hit Factory Live mega-concert in Hyde Park next month, so let us remember the golden boy's most uplifting moment...
Happy Birthday, sweetie!

Your Majesty
It's a special weekend for us Brits, and for the whole Commonwealth (over much of which she remains Head of State) - it's HM Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee! With a massive flotilla down the Thames on Sunday (which we will not be going to see, for fear of being squished in the crowd), the mega-concert featuring Sir Tom, Dame Shirley, Dame Elton (if her cough has gone), Dame Cliff, Princess Kylie, Sir Paul, Annie Lennox, Stevie Wonder, Robbie Williams and some lesser mortals on Monday (for which we failed to get free tickets in the draw), and the glittering carriage procession to St Pauls on Tuesday.
In other words, a nice long weekend off in which to party!
To get us in the mood, here's another genuine Queen - who celebrated her 70th birthday on Wednesday - it's Monti Rock III, aka Disco Tex and the Sexolettes, with his all-time classic Get Dancin'. Thank Disco It's Friday!
From Good Times blog:
It was 1974 and Sir Monti Rock III burst upon the dance scene with his group Disco Tex and His Sex-O-Lettes. Their first single, Get Dancin', never failed to fill the dance floor in New York clubs, like the legendary Le Jardin, and their appearances at Trudy Heller's nightclub were always sure to sell out. The song was written by Kenny Nolan and Bob Crewe, with Crewe also acting as producer. Backing vocals, for a time, were by Jocelyn Brown. Get Dancin' is surely Hi-Camp - and Sir Monti wouldn't have it any other way. His legend and art still remains an inspiration, with a cameo appearance in the film Saturday Night Fever, Get Dancin' being featured in The Simpsons and Disco Tex and his Sex-O-Lettes being name checked in an Elvis Costello song, Invasion Hit Parade and prominently in the Pet Shop Boys' 1996 hit Electricity.And as a very special bonus, here is the grande dame's very own Coronation - as King and Queen of Las Vegas - in 2010:
