That's the title of one of my favourite songs. The most lethal, the most essential thing is to hear your own voice. Also, keeping up with the idea of writing as catharsis, this one blog is dedicated all to myself. More solipsism would be hard to find. And I like it like that. Oh, and this is a queer (and self-proclaimed 'ADULT') blog so go ahead, make your day... mine is done.

Under 18? Beat it. Now.
Interesting. I don't have HBO.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a pity that it's only on HBO.
DeleteI have not seen it anywhere else.
XOXO
That looks fascinating. And will smack the bigots who say trans people haven't been around very long right in their heads.
ReplyDeletexoxo
I know, right?
DeleteThey are trying to tell us that Transgender people just happened to pop up in 2020.
XOOX
Big says,
ReplyDeleteWell, I remember Christine Jorgensen. How many decades ago was that?? It seems Parisians have always been more acceptinng than anyone at anytime in the US, more's the pity.
XOXO
Europe has always been ahead of the very puritanical America, that's for sure.
DeleteXOXO
"Le petit inconvenience," LOL! I'd like to see this documentary too.
ReplyDeleteI know, right?
DeleteAnd it's very illuminating. A total contrast in approach and personalities. Amanda is still very reluctant. After fifty years.
XOXO
En France, nous avions Coccinelle, tout comme vous, Américains, Christine Jorgensen. Lorsque vous avez traversé deux guerres mondiales comme la France, les norms sociales restrictives sont remises en question et la tolérance et l'acceptation deviennent la norm sociale.
ReplyDeleteLe Carrousel était célèbre pour ses spectacles de travesties. Malheureusement, six de ces dames furent tuées lors du crash d'un jetliner de la BOAC au-dessus du Mount Fuji au Japon en 1964.

OMG
DeleteThey mention Coccinelle in the documentary! Super famous and GORGEROUS!
I do know that Europe tends to be more tolerant (well, there's Le Pen, hein?) but America is very provincial.
And I can't believe six of them died in a plane crash!! OMG.
XOXO
Two of my favorite legends! And a tidbit and tea.... interestingly, April Ashley basically outed Amanda Lear, when Lear was highly secretive about her past. She even revealed Lear's real name. Shortly after their days at the Carousel, they never talked again. And many reporters had caught Lear many times over in discrepancies of her birth year, where her parents were from and their ethnicity, and what country she was from. She has changed the story so many times, some wonder if she knows anymore.
ReplyDeleteHope to be back soon!
That's TEA!
DeleteThey do talk about that in the documentary. Lear has been notoriously tight-lipped and super evasive about it all and even NOW she dismisses everything as 'rumors'. There's a very telling scene at the end, when a Trans person talks to her and tells her how iconic she is for the community, and you can see the mask shifting a tiny bit...
XOXO
