Hi Fluffy!!!
Remember me? Is it really you? How have you been keeping? I see you have
your own column now - lucky slut!!! I still remember that classic 'movie'
we did all those years ago! What was it called again? "Fluffy turns Fiddler"?
It was certainly an education! Anyway!
Must dash.
Much love and kisses Dicky
Fluffy writes: Well Google me, if it ain't my old co-star and good acquaintance,
the Reverend Frank Homer (A.K.A. Dick Fiddler). That old Queen! Oh, the
times we had on Canal Street, when we were both young and hot, hot, hot...
Talking of Queens and all things gay, the other night I had the great
pleasure to attend an excellent show put on by Dublin's own drag kings,
the ShamCocks, at The George. For those of you unfamiliar with these fine
specimens of "(wo)Manhood", I can only say that they never fail to put
on a fantastic, hilarious and raunchy show (that, and the odd prosthetic
knob, it has to be said).
Yes, following in the footsteps of cabaret acts like Shirley Temple Bar
and Penny Bridge, Dublin's finest young gender-benders packed a full house
at The George, a turn-out to rival their gig at the Sugar Club a few weeks
before, where guest kings from Chicago added their considerable talents
to the show.
The gig was hosted by the delectable Veda - what a lady - better looking
than a young Bowie, legs up to her armpits, the bitch. One female friend,
watching, was insanely jealous of her fantastic stage props, which included
shiny silver streamers, a light-up compact and yes, a wind machine.
There were very few weak links in the line-up, and to be honest they gave
you a chance to have a breather in between the really funny bits. Highlights
included Kiwi Mel's Testosterone-laden version of "YMCA" (she's the kind
of girl who gives whole new weight to the term 'Butch') and the truly
sexy Sid Viscous, a previous 'Alternative Miss Ireland' winner, grinding
it out to "Sexual Freak" with his entourage of rubber-clad bitch boys.
Stealing the show, however was mustachio'd Gringo O'Hara's side-splitting
take on the improbable love between a four foot nothing 'chap' with a
spare tyre (who looks a bit like Ron Jeremy), and a slender six-two SheMale.
Top marks for 'shaking the snake' onto the audience (a rather literal
interpretation of 'taking the piss' but it's one way to deal with hecklers),
and the boner under the blanket scene. Pure comedy magic.
Keep an eye out for future shows by the ShamCocks, but remember, this
is a drag act, so you have to be gay-friendly if you decide to go along.
If you'd prefer to see some genuine raunchy girls, Fluffy herself, and
special friends will be getting all glammed up for a Burlesque Revue fund-raiser
on 7th August, at the Green Lizard in Francis Street, Dublin. She will
be incognito, but some signed Fluffy merchandise may well be on the cards...
Bottoms up! Fluffy D.
Feeling left out of the show? Mail your bent wishes to fluffy@tuppenceworth.ie
to see if she can straighten you out.
