"Oh Crap, She's up!"
Maybe someone can help me find information on this one, a year or more ago I caught the end of a show on ABC (australia) about a famous Australian artwork. As best I recall the details it turns out the women in the painting was actually a crossdressing spy! At one point at a funeral she was spotted by her mother! Apparently the mother asked quietly 'Don't I know you' and she replied 'I'm your daughter... (can't recall the name)' and the mother replied 'I always wanted a beautiful daughter'!
I caught the show by accident when I was having a fair bit of trouble with my dressing and it totally bowled me over. Unfortunatly in my state of shock I was unable to remember the rest of the details even 10 minutes later. Can anyone help with more info on this? I don't recall the era, early 20th century I think.
My first memories (dating myself) was of Tony Curtis and Jack Lemon in Some Like It Hot with of all people...Marylin Monroe. I could not decide who I wanted to be more. Ultimately chose MM.

I think my girlfriends here have got most of them--- except for the musical references----
No one mentioned "Lola" from the "The Kinks"--a most enticing little tune.
And The Beatles had one too.... Loretta, wrapped in a sweater I believe...with her high heel shoes and her low neck sweater. Get Back!
And let us never forget Lou Reeds' immortal "Walk on the Wild Side". I saw Ms. Holly not long ago...plucked her eyebrows, shaved her legs and then he was a she. Well, she's done some more....she looks fabulous, she is very real, and HAS NEVER looked back.
another musical reference
Monty Python Lumberjack Song
I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day.
Chorus:
He's a lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shopping and have buttered scones for tea
Mounties:
He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping and has buttered scones for tea.
Chorus:
He's a lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing and hang around in bars.
Mounties:
He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing and hangs around in bars?!
Chorus:
He's a lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
I cut down trees, I wear high heels
Suspenders and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my dear Papa!!
Mounties:
I cut down trees, I wear high heels?!
Suspenders...and a bra?!...
Just the Lumberjack:
I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my dear Papa!!

Jonathan Winters as Aunt Maudie Frikkert and the greatest of all: J. Edgar Hoover, Dir. of the FBI.
Don Knotts was my favorite. He as Barney Fife posed as a cleaning woman in the bank to catch the robbers. Hilarious!
And now we have Dame Edna with a talk show...kewl!
There are two for me...
The sadly departed Steffan Whitfield, and the diva of photography Leah True.

I've never been particularly fond of Klinger's equating CDing with being crazy. Or his body hair.
Nobody seems to have mentioned any Aussies yet. I've always been a fan of Dame Edna Everage, aka Barry Humphries. http://www.dame-edna.com/
When I was a teenager, and often in denial, CDing in the media often made me uncomfortable, although I did like Milton Berle & Bugs Bunny. Sort of.
My mother is a big Tony Curtis fan & she loves Some Like It Hot. I guess that made me feel a little bit more comfortable about myself. I was definitely uncomfortable the first time I saw that movie, but as I got older I've grown to love it. Imagine dressing up with Marilyn. Heaven!

I was visiting turkey when one of my pals showed me a picture of this marvelous girl, he was very coy , asking me if I thought she was attractive, etc. And I did then and I still do.

Some others, Eddie Izzard, Grayson Perry, Tony Curtis & Jack Lemmon in some like it hot, they looked so good it fascinated me as a kid, the first time i saw the movie.
