Worried About the Boy

[alpha2117]

So I was watching telly the other day and a show I'd never heard of came on about the early days of Boy George, Marilyn and the New Romantic scene and I was suprised how good it was. The guy playing Marilyn Freddie Fox is the son of Edward Fox who was the Jackyl in the original Day of the Jackyl and a ton of other stuff and he's simply amazing looking in the role. If you ever get a chance check it out.

That looks like a cool story.
What a soundtrack!
Music was so new and fresh then!
Early 80's and the style of that scene seemed so to be a world away from then redneck Phoenix.
I used to cut my own hair and used oil paint for mousse.
I liked George's style at first. Too bad he turned into an angry old poof.

Marilyn once pushed me out of the way so she could get into the only vacant stall in the Gents toilet at Porchester Hall - late 1970s or early 80s -certainly before her first single in 1983; she was cute then and used to wear a black corset and pencil skirt, but was in a clique of people who did not admit people like me (as in, anyone who wasn't like them). She hasn't aged well either; you can probably find an unflattering photo of her too. But bear in mind it was still mostly drag in those days, I don't think either George or Marilyn ever thought of themselves as transgendered.
