Oh, the circus...?
I find Jimbo fascinating. Really. Her character is obviously an overblown representation of gender, with that hint of hyper-everything we kind of expect (and enjoy) in our Drag artists. But I think that under the surface, she's very different to the Drag artists people are used to seeing (both in live shows and on TV) and she's such a character!!
I watched that Canada's Drag race season where she appeared for the first time and was absolutely enthralled by the creativity and... different point of view she brought. I think that being an outsider within the Queer community (and not conforming to a set of parameters) is quite refreshing. And you know there's talent galore when somebody like her can put on a one-person-show and sell out venues.
Also, Jimbo did something I really like: she helped me erase Kandy Muse from my memory. Ugh. Kandy may have been 'good television' but what a repellent person!
XOXO
I love Jimbo -- so creative, such an iconoclast! And I love Victoria, BC too -- one of my favourite cities in Canada, particularly its downtown core and Chinatown shown in this video. FanTan Alley rocks! I'm glad Jimbo is finally getting the recognition and success he deserves!
ReplyDeleteLove her! And, this kills me, you know how I am about too much stuff, but I love her home and the junk and the doors and passageways and the history, and then when she said she had a shop I was gagged! I need to get to that store!
ReplyDeleteI didn't see her best Kandy but the fact that she beat Kandy is the best news ever ... I never liked Kandy, sorry Kandy Heads.
Lastly, the brother is hot.

ReplyDeleteYou're right, the performances are everything one expects: Irreverent and hilarious. I have a friend who runs a clown school and teaches what Jimbo said about clowning.
Now, let's talk about that house / store! The Tour needs to showcase THAT place. It's fascinating and I want to see it.
XOXO
I've always loved Jimbo since I first laid eyes on them and his form of drag. Now friends of mine who still do drag have met Jimbo and said he absolutely has no off switch. And honey can we just discuss how hot and sexy his husband is?!? Another friend who met them briefly, while vacationing also knows why Jimbo has what seems to be a smile 24/7. I'm assuming that means his hubby must have a very nice penis. I can only assume being inside Jimbo's head would be like being out of circus.
ReplyDeleteJimbo is unique in many ways, no doubt his candescence lights up the room.
ReplyDeleteVictoria is veddy British, one must have tea at the historic Empress Hotel and take a horse carriage ride around town.

Hello, Jimbo!! Thanks for the introduction, Sixpence. It is always nice to meet a fascinating new person.
ReplyDeleteWhat a talented individual! He's the Jim Carrey of drag! What a great face. And so clever. And so busy... when does he take time to breathe? Monroe looks exactly like my Mama Rose, btw. I would love to see him do a one person show... just fascinating and what a nice guy.
