It's our love of Twink that brought us here.

No so loud! If she knows we're talking about her, she might drop in. For the rest of you: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adele_King Oh, and there's a pic here: www.akts.ie/ which is so terrifying. Especially when you think she must have approved it herself. |

Especially when you think she must have approved it herself. Jesus Christ m'Jimmy Boab, she sounds like the bastard offspring of Twiggy and Bonnie Langford. I think I hate her already. Notice how she pushed her poor child into releasing a Christmas novelty single (at the age of 13 too - I bet there aren't any wire hangers in the Twink household). I can imagine her holding the carving knife to the family pet's throat. "Sing, sweetheart, or Fluffy here gets in the neck. Mummy needs the publicity." |

Klee, you've got her exactly. MY Boyfriend was a trainee ASM back in the 90s when Twink, sorry, Adele was doing a play in Dublin. At the first night party she made him get her a bottle of champagne from her dressing room which was about five foot away from where they were. It wouldn't do for her to be seen getting her own drinks.
Still, we love the horror of it all.

I love how Twink has nothing to do with the name Adele King. Maxi was Irene McCoubrey - McC, you see. Dick was Barbara Dixon - Dix, you see. Twink? I wonder how she got her name.  Twink looks a little haggard there, doesn't she? I'd nominate Maxi for a Gay Icon nod. She's a little staid and plain, but she is lovely. I'm sure she's helped many a gay in her role as an agony aunt. A |

I love that picture. You are my new favourite person in the world, Adrian.
I might support your Maxi campaign...
Now. Linda Martin.
Discuss.

Linda, I want to love her. But for every bonus point that "Long Dis-tance U-S-A...Terminal 3, flights on tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime" earns, there's a Lyrics Board to snatch them away.
One of my favourite Linda moments is in Eurovision 1993. She's introducing Johnny Logan. She introduces him as "Johnny! Full-stop-extended-pause! Logan!"
And then faffing around Nadine Coyle when she gave the wrong date of birth on Popstars: The Irish.
She should be Lowculture gold. And she wears completely inappropriate clothing for a woman of her age.

The inappropriate clothing for her age is one of the givens of a gay icon, I should think.
I nearly died when she popped up on the first series of The X Factor as part of Louis Walsh's "Team". Head to toe in pastel yellow. God love her.
Why me, Linda. Why me?
