Glamour

DetailDetailDetail






















Inspired by The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert $7 thong dress which won an Academy Award for Best Costume Design in 1994.

The movie is remembered for its outrageous feather-adorned outfits and the cast lip-syncing with abandon to tracks by Gloria Gaynor, ABBA and The Village People.


Medium: Digital in Photoshop. Shown is silicon boob headpiece on male model.

So with all that drama, you managed to combine thongs and silicon boobs into a mighty fine drag ensemble. Best wishes to Manboy, hope your toe is better...you should stop kicking things.

One of my favourite movies Stephen! I was in Alice Springs where it was filmed when opened! Wore sequined silver shorties and big hair to the grand opening of course :)

Must have been inspired by the drama in an odd way. It used to feel good kicking things Detlef .. blah! Please take note even shaved Dave's legs :)

If you were here now you'd hear me exclaiming....

there seem to be a lot of catastrophes going on at the moment....

Last week I fell flat on my face hurting various bits but luckily nothing broken... but I've not fallen over in yonks.... what is going on! Jim fell downstairs on New Year's Eve and we had to cancel our party plans... he's put it down to feeling under the weather and off-balance... some sort of catastrophe 'flu to balance out the bird 'flu everyone keeps trying to scare us with...

We escaped with just bruises seems like you and yours have taken rather more of a battering... I do hope you are all well soon....

And back on IF - Glamour - I've always liked my men to dress up more than me! But I've yet to go out without anyone this glammed up! Very fetching.

I hear you Caroline!!! Can feel and smell the ‘catastrophe flu’ and afraid there is worse to arrive! We’ll be fine eventually and you too; survivors :) You should see what I wore - can't be THAT under-dressed!

Thank you Marion :)

as usual, very original and telling a story. The headpiece is a hoot...the dress is not less interesting. Enjoyed a lot even though I haven't seen the movie.

They *are* boobs and thongs! Now THAT is glamour. I love Priscilla and have even met Terence Stamp (he sat on my son's cheese sandwich). Now I want to rent the movie and watch it again.

This outfit would never date on our beaches in Australia.

It may even have extinguished some of the unrest we had on some of our beaches recently.

The thong, boob peace dress.

Yep I can see an army in this attire patrolling and making our beaches safer for all.

Love the ear rings.

Glad my 'glamour' has brought a smile to your face Jane Doe :) Ahhhh, you can stop laughing now, Dave is serious about being a model!

Watch the movie again Andrea! I will too :) What a privilege to have a cheese sandwich sat on by Terence Stamp !

Thanks Aynaku! I've never met a woman dressed like this but have seen a fine male named Guy Pierce looking this glamorous :)

Do believe 'The Thong, Boob Peace Dress' might work in regards to the trouble on our beaches Shane! Although worried the 'Wog' bashers would turn to bashing 'Thong and Boobed Men' instead - they are people looking to bash anyone different :( Now if we could make it the national costume ... silicon boob headwear would keep the brain cooler and there would be no more sunstroke!!!

Thanks Janet, so am I!

Thankyou Christian :)

Thought you might Unknown ... here try these ON!

Sunday, January 29, 2006

YES! No more sunstroke Lee or silly looking women! ;)

Thank you Hardwax! When was Hollywood Glamour NOT insane? Think the silicone on a guys head is MUCH better and less insane; like Lee does. You MUST see the movie :)

Forgot to leave love for Unknown ... LOVE the hat Unknown! Love.

Hheheheh "out of sight" is appropriate description Katili. If only they reproduced this outfit in mass production. Oh, they do - but people wear the pieces in the wrong places :)

Thanks Donna! Sure it wouldn’t be difficult to sew yourself - good luck in doing so.

Eyeballs could be second in the range Tony LaRocca! What would your dress be made from? I need a partner designer with ideas like that!

Would you definitely like the boob headdress if I said they help you float in water Toni Kelly? I'd prefer to wear it for strutting up and down the shoreline myself ... each to their own :)

OOOh, did I command you Ester ... bad habit of mine :) Priscilla is actually the name of the bus the queens travelled in ... don't let Dave hear he looks the same ... I command you to yell "Love the dress" louder :)

Dave begged to be the model
Because heels made his bum waddle
Through shops he struts
Across beaches a klutz
More than begged, he in fact did grovel.

You should watch the movie Isay! Thanks for noticing my butterfly changes her wings every week to compliment the new image. She is glamorous :)

Thank you Blackcrow (best bird)- the thong dress was once famous in 1994 worn by Guy Pierce. Maybe I read those books because of 'wild' imagination. Creepy Suzie is a best bird too };-} Yes - still do etchings and frequently call myself a printmaker :)

OK, I have been missing all this fun…and have to agree with Andrea on glamour aspect of boobs AND thongs in the same image.
And the versatility of boob hat, as well as sex appeal is staggering -- flotation device, favorite pillow in absence of one true love, and it could be worn under bicycle helmets to cushion falls…
Do feel that photo of you wearing sequined silver shorts and boob hat with toe in a cast would be just as glamorous. Lily.
