Sim1Shit! All I can see is female impersonators!

I had the most awesome weekend, dear readers.
Followed by a sad week.
At the weekend, I went to the Palace Theatre in London to watch the musical adaptation of ‘The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’.
I have seen many a musical before, but this one was just the awesomest of all! I was in fits of laughter and floods of tears, all at the same time.
I don’t know if I ever divulged to you, my dear readers, the details of my brutal eviction from the country Down Under. (work visas, redundancy, blah blah blah).
However, in the three and a bit years I was blessed enough to live in Sydney, I have met some beautiful people whom I now call friends. And the movie in question today reminds me of two in particular- the residents of the Pink Palace in Marrickville.
Of course, I knew that Priscilla the Musical was going on in London, but what made me buy a ticket was the appearance of Ray Meagher. I’m sorry, I meant ‘Alf from Home & Away’, of course!
So yes, I was in tears of nostalgia whilst laughing at all the famous quotes:
‘Great, that’s just what the country needs: a cock in a frock on a rock.’
Today, I am feeling melancholy and in need of some nostalgia, because I found out this morning that one of my writing buddies died. May he rest in peace.
Of course, there’s only one cure for it and that is watching Priscilla.
Isn’t Guy Pearce fabulous? I’m sorry, I meant ‘Mike from Neighbours’ (never mind the Memento nonsense). Forget for a moment that in the film he is camp as a Christmas tree, gay as a bag of fish...Look at the boy’s guns!!
And Terence Stamp! I remember him shouting in a cockney accent ‘Tell ‘em I’m coming, I’m fucking coming!’ in The Limey. He is much better as Bernadette, Fish on FIlm HQ thinks....
I take my hat off to him, for portraying Bernadette in the way he does. Not every actor could pull that off.
We must not forget Hugo Weaving (sorry, ‘Agent Smith from the Matrix’). The one with the cute kid....
Throw into that mix some really, really Australian accents (‘Noice!’), some stunning scenery shots.....and a glass of something cold.
And there you have it: the perfect respite for a single girl who misses her squad in Oz; has been single for half a decade and is in need of a boy with guns and who’s raising a glass to a fellow nonsense-mongerer, who is sadly no longer amongst us.
Watch the film, see the musical....life’s too short to not go on a journey on a bus named ‘Priscilla the Queen of the Desert.’
In case you disagree, listen here you mullet! Why don’t you light your tampon and blow your box apart. ‘Cos that’s the only bang you’re ever gonna get, sweetheart!’
