You have a voice reminiscent of Lilian Baylis.

J'ai toujours admiré vos dignes reines, en particulier la reine mère :)

DeleteADORED HERE! One of my favorite books is by him.
ReplyDeleteI have his book, too.

DeleteI have great admiration for those who have the charisma and audacity to create and perform "One-man (person) shows!" At the start of reading the wiki article my brain immediately accompanied it with the song by the Pogues "Old Main Drag." Mostly because I'm X-gen and my scene was Romantic Goth with shades of punk and industrial.
ReplyDeleteThe courage, strength, audacity and tenacity it took for him to live his life openly and honestly in that period of time is extraordinary. He will always be a hero of freedom and equality to me.
DeleteYes, truly extraordinary!
DeleteI thought the last photo would be of the late Queen Elizabeth! Finding Quentin Crisp was a delightful and most pleasant surprise, sweetpea! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI like to have a little twist at the end. Quentin Crisp desccribed himself as ' one of the Stately Homos of England'.
DeleteI have a Quentin Crisp calligraphy book - I'm sure I do.
ReplyDeleteI like what he said about dusting.

There are many pearls of wisdom from the pen of Mr.Crisp and his advice on dusting is just one that I have led my life by.
