Savage Style: Costumes From Lily's Wardrobe

Two venues at National Museums Liverpool host a selection of fabulous frocks from the wardrobe of Lily Savage, the acid-tongued alter ego of comedian and television presenter, Paul O?Grady. The display comprises 7 dresses and outfits worn by Lily in her many different guises, including one worn as host of television game show Blankety Blank. Also featured are some of her incredible pantomime costumes as well as Lily?s more ?informal? daywear looks. Two costumes will be displayed at the new Museum of Liverpool, with the other five at the Walker Art Gallery. Lily?s Birkenhead-born creator, Paul O?Grady, ?retired? the famous ?blonde bombsite? to a French convent in 2004. She made a brief re-appearance in panto in Southampton in 2010 and now she?s back in this display, bigger and brassier than ever!
