"He ain't pretty, he's my brother."
We now know Jesus wore a dress. Not a robe. A dress. And not because he buys off the rack either. Not because he shops retail. Nor because it was all he could find in the discard bin of a big fan's Brotherhood.
No, thanks to Brisbane's most assiduous researchers with absolutely no point to prove whatsoever, we now know it's because he's, shall we say, somewhat more fashion conscious than your average Slob Street Gallilean. Not to put to fine a point on it, he had a finely tuned radar that told him what's most likely to catch the eye as one promenades down Oxford Street, Nazareth.
Ever since we've been treated to a passing parade of celebrity cross dressers. And it turns out there may be Another One. Scroll down to I heard a rumour...
Hey Tony. It's quite possible to be a well-adjusted Autralian homo with no expertise - or even interest - in cross-dressing, whatsoever.
Forget Oxford St - I see more bad drag on the Footy Show. Oh, and we don't all lisp either. Just thought you'd like to know...

Agree Geoff! %100! Just workin' the room is all. You know? Takin' the piss. Broad generalisations are a core part of my act. And about the lisp, not sure if I can handle my preconceived notions being that cruelly dismantled. I've seen Dick Emory lisp. Doesn't that count?
I especially agree about the Footy Show. The Aussie Rules version. The League one doesn't even bear a passing nod. Appalling rubbish. See my post from a couple weeks back.

Dick Emery? Married 5 times mate. To women. A couple of them were Las Vegas Showgirls. Not sure what this tells about preconceived notions and working the room, but it's probably meaningful.
Cheers.

But did he marry Cover girls, or were they cover stories? Some politicians used to have to make that sort of sacrifice.

Yeah. I know he was Geoff. But he wore dresses. Lots of them. A put on many a pout. And a very fetching mascara. By referring to him I was making an oblique, but still connected, point. That is, I'm not the only one doing sexuality based stereotypical shtick.
I know all gays don't mince & poonce. The guy who lives down the street certainly doesn't, but he's still gay. He doesn't advertise the fact though. Not to me anyway. Hang on a minute. He does have a poodle!

Indeed Norman! Oh to cover a cover-girl story! Those poppets would have a tale or two to tell. I wonder if the framed-up senator in the Godfather was based on any real politician. I bet JFK knew the odd cover-girl as well as the occasional intern.
