I woke up to this news this morning:

Nobody puts baby in a corner!

I can only say one thing: I loved you as...

Johnny Castle in Dirty Dancing


Sam Wheat in Ghost


But I loved loved LOVED you most as Vida Boheme in To Wong Foo: Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar


Miss Vida Boheme opened my eyes to the complexities, philosophies, and beauty of queenhood when I first saw the movie at the age of 12 years old - thank you HBO (although I'm not queer myself, but you know what I mean). I loved her so much, and I thought she was the prettiest queen I have ever seen (and still is!).

She wasn't ghetto-chic as Miss Noxeema Jackson... 


and not trashy as Miss Chi Chi Rodriguez (pre-strawberry festival!!).


She was just the elegant, refined, Miss Vida Boheme, and I absolutely adored her!


So, Mr Patrick Swayze, thank you for putting life to Miss Vida Boheme. And I do wish you well...
