Miss Diamond was a big inspiration for Candy, as they met when Diamond was opening for a production of "Torch Song Trilogy". Hooray for Diamond Lil!

[swampzoid]

Diamond has spoken with fond remories of when she opened fo "torch song trilogy".

[swampzoid]

yep, diamond did WORK.

(and she still does)

I knew Lil in Atlanta (A few years ago) I think she will probably remember my

best friend back then (Steve, from Merietta ,,) Where ever Lil was performing,

we made a point to go see her. If you've never seen her dancing eyes,,,,,You missed it honey. No drag queen , past, present ,or future, will ever compare to Diamond Lil.

There is no coincidence, John Cameron Mitchell HAD to have taken influence from Diamond Lil for Hedwig. Ha, I love this.
