The life and times of James Biddlecombe aka Biddie starts with his childhood japes in not-so-jolly Reading, England with his best friend and cohort Simon Doonan (chronicled in Simon's book "Beautiful People" or "Nasty" in the USA, and now a BBC-2 TV Series "Beautiful People" adapted by Jonathan Harvey). Then the switch to London, glam, glitz and the Blitz Club with his cabaret partner Eve (as Biddie & Eve) then to theatre, panto, gigs galore and finally his brand new album released January 2009 "(The Mysterious) Mister Blonde".

OK so Kylie was based off of this Biddie guy... is Reba based off of Biddie's mom?

I wish there was footage of Biddie & Eve doing the theme to STINGRAY. It was great! THEY were great. I was a strapping 6'7" American student working security at Heaven and Cha Cha, and was utterly mesmerized by Eve's 30 pounds of undulating decolletage, visually balanced by a full bushel of hair do.
This would have been the Fall of 1980, I believe, and their act was as sharp as a razor and funny as hell.
More! We want more!

Thank you, this is fab.
The only downside of the series is that Biddie changed, which sucked because I loved Biddie in the book.
And I love floor pillows, for lounging.
And draping crappy apartments in fabric.
And the 70s and 80s.
Ah, good times.
