This week the Casa'du Borghese's Parton Saint of Drag and elder states queen Lady Bunny, is our Grande Dame this week. Can one ever really get enough of the vulgar, and fabulous fashionista of style??? Why she is the end all of drag for me, and the one who inspired me into it. The legend behind the larger-than-life bouffant has been performing since the ‘80s and Bunny has remained faithful to her signature look, which calls to mind Dusty Springfield rendered as a Thanksgiving parade float on fabulous gams. She and her gargantuan bouffant became New York club fixtures in the 1980s, and have since gone on to wider notoriety. Lady Bunny co-created N.Y.’s now-defunct Wigstock drag queen festival — Wigstock: The Movie turned 20 last year — and has been a judge on RuPaul’s Drag U. Bun-Bun can be seen all over the planet, and her shows are pure hilarity. More than any performer I saw this year “the old pig in a wig,” as she calls herself, made me weep with laughter, often while groaning with disgust. And isn’t that what the best low comedy is all about? Most recently, she can be seen in That Ain't no Lady, Hot Mess with Bianca Del Rio, and National Treasure. Following 2014’s Clown’s Syndrome, Lady Bunny returns with another new show, Trans Jester for her latest song-and-joke show, where she’ll entertain with crude pop parodies and stand-up about celebrities and other hot messes of today. That means you, Caitlyn Jenner. Check out Bun-Bun's blog or click icon in the sidebar. too for more politico talk, drag, pop culture, jokes and show dates. And if she asks you to click on something....don't say I didn't warn you.
And check out her new song slamming Drag Race queens set to Vogue!!! FUNNY!!!!!!
A living legend!
ReplyDeleteWho you kidding, Lady Bunny is pure gold
ReplyDeleteAt your urging us two old fogies went and saw Bunny for the first time in the city. She was fabulous and that HAIR!!! Good thing I wore some poise that night.
ReplyDeleteDear god, how, in all these many years, have I never seen the obvious reference to Ms Springfield's style? Do you think I had a stroke and didn't notice?
ReplyDeleteNeither. It was too many dirty Mormon boys at your back door.
DeleteThat's our Bunny, setting the House of No Shade on fire
ReplyDeleteWell played again Lady Bunny! That video is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI adore Lady Bunny. I live for Bunny. They should've brought her to replace Santino on the show. Why they didn't I'll never know.
ReplyDeleteBunny is DRAG!!!!! I love your stories of when you guys were at the club in Philly years ago. Im surprised there was any hootch left.
ReplyDeleteAnd take note...I wasn't the first to hit the stage.TTTTTTTimber!
DeleteAll hail BUNNY! She really is the epitome of drag!
ReplyDeleteI love this amazing tramp!
ReplyDeleteHer fashion has always been impeccable and I'm guessing those eggs contain liquor? That video is priceless.
ReplyDeleteLady Bunny is one of our favorites too. THAT HAIR! Where does one get a wig like that?
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fabulous!!! A secret dome queens do...wig stacking. Two or mor wig combined into one huge wig. I always did at least two myself.
DeleteI always did two myself? wigs or men?
DeleteOMG, Bunny is so messed up and that's why we love her! A true legend.
ReplyDeletehappened upon a burt bacharach retrospective the other night & there was dusty singing, "the look of love." you would've thought she & bunny were separated at birth.
ReplyDeleteand...i have visited bunny's blog. her comments are shut off...and you know how i HATE to be shut off.
I visit Bunny's most often, and have noticed her comment are off. Not sure why, but'its been like that for about two years now. We know how you hate to be shut off, or legs closed...which ever comes first.
DeleteAnd then there's that HAIR! FABULOUS!
