Boy George, Then and Now....

So since I was about 8 or 9 I was a big fan of Boy George. My favourite memory is probably debating with my neighbour if he was a boy or girl, not understanding gay yet obviously. I was on the girl side... sorry, I know I'm an ass, but I had never seen any man that feminine before. On the flip side my friend had a huge crush on him. I think I'm glad I just thought he was a girl. The picture to the right is the exact poster we were debating over.

As some of you may know Boy George was DJing in Toronto last night. Although 20 years have passed, and my obsession has lessened, I felt the need to see him. So I went; his after picture is to the left.

Here is my short review:

1) A little disappointed as he didn't come on until 2:00 am. On the flip side he played until after 3:00 so that kept the bar a bit more full.

2) His DJ ing wasn't that spectacular. Now I have never DJ'd before, but I have seen/heard quite a few DJs and he was just mediocre.

3) His look. Now this I loved! Not because it was good, but because it was Ricockulous. It was Boy George, older, heavier, but still wearing the same shit. Apparently you can take the Boy out of the 80's but you can't take the 80's out of the Boy! And good for him. I have put one more picture just to show his 'outfit'. He full on Bedazzled the shit out of it!

So, in summary, the party was fun; seeing Boy George was cool... but the 80's are long gone :-(
