Heidi Phox is a fox -- and now she's in the wild. For years, Heidi has posted photos of herself in a variety of dresses and other cute outfits. In many of the pics, Heidi photoshops herself into public places. She has a lovely figure and terrific wardrobe and looks great in these scenes.

But now, for the first time, Heidi has snapped some new photos outdoors and posted them to her Flickr account for public viewing.

It takes a lot of courage to venture out in public -- congratulations, Heidi!

Here's another photo of her -- indoors, but dressed to the nines:

Have you met Maya? She lives in Toronto and has great legs. She has many great photos, but I'm posting this one because I like her hair in it.

Reality TV

Many reality television programs are ending their seasons this week or next. I'm not sure any of them feature someone with legs as fantastic as Stacii Gayski. In this video from 2005, she and her dance partner won the "Dancing with the Drag Stars" competition:

TVs on TV: WKUK

Since I was a youngster, I've been infatuated with TVs on television. Lately, I've noticed that some members of the "Whitest Kids You Know" cast can make quite fetching women:

That image is a screen capture from this video, "You've Been Yellow Mustard-ed."

I had a very close friend in college with almost exactly that hairstyle.


Update: I'm probably going to make a series of posts on "TVs on TV." My earliest firm memory of a drag character was Dick Shawn in 1968 as Laura Winthrop on "The Lucy Show." The episode was "Lucy and the Pool Hustler," but I cannot find an image.

Prom queens

Me and Butterfly

This weekend, I noticed a young couple obviously dressed for their high school prom. Naturally, that led my curious mind to the internet where I found at least one cd couple who apparently attended a prom together in 1999 (happy 10 year anniversary to the lovely couple). The photo depicts Whitney and "Butterfly." At Whitney's Flickr page, you can find a spread of a dozen photos of "My Drag Prom."

Where in the world is...

David Michaels?

Michaels played the teacher in the Aerosmith video "Livin' on the Edge" (appearing at about 3:00 into the video and again at around 5:50) and as Eric/Erica in the Gary Busey movie "Rough Draft" (also known as "Diary of a Serial Killer"). I think Michaels appears at about 1:04 of this clip. Here's a video capture of that moment:


The IMDB page for Michaels seems to be a blend of information from two performers with the same name.

Does anyone know whatever happened to David Michaels?

Abracadabra

Are these the same women?

Help me decide.


Youtube is currently hosting multiple parts of a feature film called "Abracadabra." Here's the description:

It's about four bumbling mobsters that face an identity crisis when they discover their fantasy woman is packing more than a garter under her mini-skirt. This "Tootsie meets The Sopranos" film features John Fiore (Brotherhood, The Sopranos), Lou Martini, Jr. (Law and Order SVU, The Sopranos), Tony V. (Brotherhood) and Nino Pepicelli (Stiffs).

The description is kind of similar to "Mob Queen," which I've never seen.

The fantasy woman's character is named "Abra Parkhurst," and she's pictured in the movie above, at left.

I viewed the opening credits in Part I and learned that only one other actor/actress is not identified in the paragraph quoted above -- Tara O'Brien. Here's what I found out after a search:

The actress found out about casting opportunities in Broadway's Victor/Victoria from an ad in Backstage. However her agent could not get her an audition.

"So I went to the open call and I went as a man. I didn't really think I was being that clever, but I was the only person there really dressed as a guy," she explains. "You had to do eight bars of your biggest belt. So I sang the eight bars in the Neil Simon Theatre in the dark. Then a voice barked out from the darkness, `Sing the whole thing.' So I sing and this lone applause comes out of the darkness. Out of that darkness walks Blake Edwards and he said: `Well that was good and you look like a guy. Can you walk like a guy?' So he had me walking across the stage as a man."

Hmmmm.

The photo on the right above is Tara O'Brien (she's on the left with Anne Runolfsson playing the title character) touring with "Victor/Victoria" in 1998. Obviously, she wasn't playing the gender-bending lead role at that time. Is this the same woman?

Is O'Brien now a woman playing a man playing a woman?
