Happy Birthday Boy George
George O’Dowd born today June 14 1961.
Face it every guy thought he was a hot chick when they first saw him and every chick immediately zoomed to see exactly how that eyeshadow was placed to get that amazing look. Not quite a drag queen, not quit a new romantic, but a beautiful voiced just the same.
Culture Club took the neon 80s by storm with some great anthems and some visually intriguing videos. Bringing gender bending into social acceptability. We must tip our fedoras to him for that.
But all good things come to an end and so did his novelty. So welcome drugs and social misbehaviour. Now just a filthy old mess.
Old?
Well he certainly lived hard and it shows.
Cake and a powder compact with a side swab of Oil of Olay to the former beauty.
