Timewarp Tuesday: Lame Post Alert

Ok. You know sometimes you post a blog that doesn't sit with you well, but because you're doing laundry and just had a difficult conversation with a friend and Law & Order is coming on in like, two minutes, you post it anyway? Well, readers, that was my situation tonight. Honestly, I wasn't a big fan of this band, but it was the first thing that came to mind, which, be forwarned fellow bloggers, is a bad reason to post something. Then I got sucked into pictures of this guy's botched collagen injections and it all went downhill from there.

Lame Post Alert issued.... I only hope that most of you got this warning.

This song always reminds me of a weekend during my senior year of high school when I went to a debate conference in San Luis Obispo. My friends and I went out to a club dancing to:



Pete Burns of Dead or Alive was one (of many) of the quintessential androgynous dressers in 80's. Metrosexuals have nothing on this guy although it seems that androgynous looks emerge roughly every even numbered decade. (The 20's, the 40's the 60's, the 80's and now the 00's.) Apparently, he accused Boy George of ripping off his style.

Unfortunately, life got stranger for PB. He became obsessive (like Michael Jackson obsessive) with cosmetic surgery and subsequently experienced a nightmarish experience which has forever disfigured his face. While he claims not to be a transvestite, he now has to dress as one because of the makeup he must wear to "mask" (that being the operative word) the botched surgeries he's received. And so today, he's become a star on British reality TV.
