It's funny because I think she's about one of the only few I can accept that exaggeration from. And homegirl was way ahead of her time. In my lifetime she was probably the first person I knew about who was trans and was talking about it openly. I have fond memories of seeing her and all the club kids in New York clubs in the 90s.
As they say concerning art, "Less is more." Apparently in drag, "Much much more, and then more is de rigueur. Those lips, dare I say...look like a prolapse. The boob job, straight off the bumper of a 50s Cadillac. Not my aesthetic, to each their own. Her fashion sense is def drag. Lovin' it
When she was still transitioning, and before completed she told her doctors she wanted to be Jessica Rabbit mixed with Jane Mansfield. I will say though I would kill for her wigs.
50’s Cadillacs had the tit like appendages called Dagmar bumpers, named for the 50’s tv hostess the well stacked Dagmar. In 1954 Los Angeles there was a late night tv show that featured romantic films and had a scantily clad tv hostess named Voluptua that cooed ad teased while wishing all the gentlemen goodnight, housewives were pissed and got her show cancelled after just a few months. -CA jock
Which makes all the more sense dear. When she was a club kid and Club personality she used to supplement her income by sewing dresses for drag queens and working as a dominatrix.
Va Va Voom, Va Voom…..! Lepore is channeling Monroe, Mansfield, Van Doren, Parton, Lansing, Harmon and all the other great blondes from the past and present. A living testament to the creed of not being afraid to express one’s self. :) -CA jock
And she'd probably be the first to tell you she's not the world's best singer, the boy she's made a living on being a club kid, a New York City personality, performer, singer, an autobiography, and her own lipstick line. Talk about making lemonade from humble beginnings. Even though she's doing better and well off she still keeps her City and Club roots... unlike others who don't really mingle anymore with where they came from.
Just when the world was safe from torpedo tits, along comes Amanda Lepore... her exaggerated lips remind me of the huge, red wax lips that penny candy counters used to sell in the late '60's. They smelled like wax, chewed like wax and tasted like wax, ugh! She sure has got a good canvas to sell her lipsticks though, LOL!
Cinched to within an inch of her life!
ReplyDeleteThose lips look positively painful.
ReplyDeleteIconic.
ReplyDeleteMiss Amanda has seen it all and done everything and still looks the part. I love her hyper exaggerated aesthetic and her level of glam.

DeleteEverything works for me but the lips. Oh, hunny, you can do better than that.
ReplyDeleteShe's like Jessica Rabbit but those lips are too much.

Love her! Her entire aesthetic is "blow-up sex doll" - and she's certainly achieved it in abundance! Jx

ReplyDeleteI don't wanna run into those boobs. I think I'd get the worst of it.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Having seen her perform, sometimes down to nothing on, I think your right. Those tits don't move honey....you would get the worst of it.
DeleteIt’s rare for me to not be bothered by such extreme surgeries, etc. But she makes it work. Still, how does one eat or drink with those lips?
ReplyDeleteI think her whole body defies many things!
