"Gay icons usually have some tragedy in their lives,
but I've only had tragic haircuts and outfits."

I wonder if that quote is from before or after she had breast cancer. Either way she came thru with grace.

Oh, I always thought her haircuts were ok. Well except for the one she had when she was in Neighbours.

Yeah Kylie!

Salt said...

Pffft whatever Kylie. Your hair always looks fabulous.

PS. I love her. :)

Well everyone had bad haircuts in the 80s. Quite a few of us had pretty dodgy ones in the 90s too...

I don't exactly get what is meant by "gay icons"? Does that refer to celebrities that are gay? Sorry, I'm just confused. :(

Fragrant Liar said...

I don't get it. Should I like what she says?

Seems like a half-formed thought that is now causing me some mental wrangling...

She always looks fab. And yes I would guess this quote was before her fight with breast cancer a couple of years ago.

I think she refers to the more tragic divas like Judy Garland. Kylie loves her gay audiences and plays for them a lot. Love her.

I've had more than my fair share of tragic haircuts and outfits.....she on the other hand doesn't look as if she's suffered either.

Isn't she the one that lost all her hair? Is that what she means? Why is she comparing cancer and gay people? Guess I don't get it. Oh well.

Brahm (alfred lives here) said...

This was an interesting one.

I don't think she is comparing cancer and gay people. I think she is comparing herself to other gay icons, stereotypically the tragic divas, and saying hey, she has had it easier, while embracing the gay following. Cuz she has a huuuge gay following!

Yea, I don't know much about her. The comment flew right over my head. Did not know she had a huge gay following. My x best friend was gay. We used to rock out to Shakira back in the day. We are not close anymore, and I am out of the loop. At least now, I learned something.
