[inthestreet007]

Dear Charles Atlas,

We loved your movie “The legend of Leigh Bowery. We saw that the “Miss Peanut” video has been removed by copyright claims. We understand that this is your work and that you have all the legal rights on it, but this video is utterly rare, and sadly, only a few seconds of this film is shown in “The Legend Of Leigh Bowery”. We honestly think this video should be back to public because we think that both of your art must be repanded.

Thank you for time and reading our letter.

[dooooodman7]

i lold. but in a good way :) very entertaining and funny despite the weird fashion. congrats. and r.i.p.

[pauleuro16]

lady gaga queen of rare fashion???.....MY ASS

[DCFunBud]

This is like listening to Mary Vivian Pearce interviewing Divine, had Divine not been dressed by Van Smith.

[kahnmoon]

@DCFunBud *laughs* I was actually thinking the same thing. Van was amazing. There is something to be said also for Leigh and Glen in that they used their size and costume to impose and their manner to comfort.

[protolexis]

fruitcake

[gsh73la]

@protolexis Hungry !

[JonnyCisero]

Lady Ga Ga is inspired by Leigh, an quite rightly so, Leigh Bowery was a legend in his lifetime and now creative inspiration for future legends in the making.

[tanyajanen]

[WhenBordomTakesOver]

Lady Gaga.. copied him.

[theatergeek82]

I always wondered if Lady Gaga was inspired by Leigh Bowery

[BornInTheWrongDecade]

Leigh Bowery reminds me so damn much of little Edie Bouvier from the 1977 documentary Grey Gardens

[anthonynewsome]

Leigh was such an amazing designer, his birth scene at Wigstock is legend,

[charbyteU]

Is that his Mum's gingham tablecloth twirling through the Savoy with such savvy!

[jesusfreaklol1]

He freaks me out completely, but he can walk it out.

[yossue3e]

[boshankers12]

Fashion hasn't caught up with Leigh Bowery, but when it does it's gonna kick the shit out of him.

[jenny8632]

You stole this from 8 out of 10 cats!

[boshankers12]

HAHA well spotted, see how many negatives my comment has loool

[gsh73la]

@boshankers12 It did catch up, in the 80s.

[OhLookItsMapheu]

[drwinkle101]

So wise, such gravitas. Why wasn't this guy invited by governments to help solve the world's economic and social problems?

[playbic15]

[davrosmad]

[DistantCousin]

He was Australian actually, but he used to try and hide his Aussie accent

[impempwoo]

[upgroundmusic]

[jonkofied]

[Writermo1]

Amazing. Thanks for posting this!

[sundaeg1rl]

Not wanting to nit-pick but it's CARYN Franklin

[jonnomayer]

Leigh was Aussie, not British.

Unfortunately it's something he hid from the public, but that doesn't matter, he was one in a billion.

[absoluteMK]

So interesting even though a very short clip! I watched sometime back a documentry about Leigh and it was fasinating.

People like him are strictly a one off.His voice complements his clothes. I don't know why..

[sydneygayboi]

a great australian...GO AUSSIE!!!!!

[xantoniolovelacex]

leighs brilliant!

[zezefab]

i love leighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhh

[sobeblkguy]

I used to be a major league club kid here in New York and looking at this brings me back to that time. That period was the reason I decided to get into fashion. Thanks for posting this.

[conmaleta]
