Good grief!
Our Patron Saint of Kitsch, Bob Mackie's #1 fan, the ageless, timeless Cher has blown out eighty candles on her cake!
There are few words I can say about the great lady, her 60-year career, her Oscar-winning stint as an actress, her numerous "comebacks", or her tumultuous life that have not been said before.
Suffice to say, we adore her!
"Gay guys like a certain kind of woman. They like a flamboyant woman that's broken. They like a balls-to-the-wall woman, motherly but not; sexual but not. Gay guys are like this: they either love you or they don't even know you're on the planet. Once you have them, you have them."
Amen.
Many happy returns, Cher (born Cherilyn Sarkisian, 20th May 1946)
Happy Birthday, Cher!
ReplyDeleteShe’ll keep going forever.

A wise person once observed that after a nuclear apocalypse, all that will be left is cockroaches, scorpions and Cher. More power to her elbow, I say! Jx
DeleteI can't believe it!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt appears the fix was too good to be true....most blogs in my reader are back to being a day or two days, in some cases behind again. ...sigh...
I can't quite believe she's 80 either!

PS Blogger is pissing me right off at the moment. IDV posted something today and it showed up straight away. Mine from Wednesday and Thursday have yet to show up. Bastards.
I'm only a little older. But if I won the lottery I could afford some nips n tucks...
ReplyDeleteI think Cher's had more than "some nips and tucks", Dinah! I doubt there's much left of her that she was born with 🤣. Regardless, she looks a damn sight better than some old broads who've had work done... Jx
DeleteShe has what my Granny called "grit."
DeleteIndeed she does! Jx
DeleteI love her outfit (costume? frock? bead-&-feather work?) in that first photo. Happy birthday, Cher!
ReplyDeleteConsidering he is a raging homosexualist [and yes - he's still with us, aged 87], Mr Bob Mackie certainly know how to dress a showgirl! And, as I commented in my post about him way back in 2013: "His client list reads like a roll-call of Patron Saints here at Dolores Delargo Towers"... Jx
DeleteBack in the 1960’s, if one talked about Cher becoming a great entertainer and serious actress people would have laughed. Did Cher prove them wrong ! :)
ReplyDeleteA truly amazing woman! Jx
DeleteShe is Awesome and a force of nature and totally adored
ReplyDeleteCatnip indeed.
"Force of nature" is the word"! Although, in truth, she is a triumph of art over nature... Jx
DeleteThe old queen

DeleteBloody hell shes 80
ReplyDeleteScary, isn't it? Jx
