Gayer than…?

ungaro-spring-09
What? Springtime? Adam Lambert? An Ungaro Spring frock (pictured)?

Or that old standby, “gayer than eight guys fucking nine guys?” (Not pictured, alas)

Yes, all those things are gay, and some are even gay gay gay gay gay. But nothing is or ever was as gay as this:

    The original video looks like a production of “The Boyfriend.” And wow, that bitch cannot sing.

    Is that really gayer than Tom Ford directing Colin Firth in a movie based on Christopher Isherwood’s A Simple Man, with Julianne Moore as an aging fag hag?

      Sanford, if that movie really exists, it’s going to the top of my Netflix queue.

        It opens in London in early December. Not sure if it is being released in the US before or after, but yes, it absolutely does exist!

    Gosh. Except for the bad singing — not, one admits, a minor consideration — I think that’s a charming way to present the masques or semi-operas that are set in Arcadia, a manner lost on almost all moderns. I’d a lot rather see this piece updated to a ditzy — and, yes, a faggy — modern milieu than almost all strainings after doubtful originality in nineteenth-century operas, in which the culture is not so remote that it needs to be radically reinterpreted to be comprehensible.

    Sanford, it’s A SINGLE Man. Saw a preview for it a few days ago. The online trailer has a couple of shots of men kissing that were not screened in the theater.

    La Cieca, who is that dirndled Minnie Mouse and what the hail is she singing?

    The clip seems to be Caroline Sampson – uuuurgggh – from a Barcelona staging of David Poutney’s hilariously vulgar ENO production. You’ll be getting her scratchy singing when Jonathan Kent’s Glyndebourne Fairy Queen gets to BAM next year. Watch out for Lucy Crowe – she’s a real talent.

      Alas, even when we allow for the downward transposition, the vocal difficulties have become all too obvious by now. Wenarto’s ill-advised recent foray into the German repertoire comes back to haunt him here. But there is much to admire in this thrillingly visceral production, and while neophytes may be advised to start elsewhere, this is one that I would not be without.

    I know I’m late on this post but (besides Wenarto) surely nothing beats this Fairy Queen for gayness:
