From the yellow brick road to the zebra body stocking

A few nights ago I went to see the ever so fabulous Rufus Wainwright singing Judy Garland songs. Camping it up slightly his voice is amazing, he even slurred a little in an authentic Judy manner. He transformed me to another time, and to say I loved it doesn’t even really come close.

What was surprising though was the appearance of his sister Martha – not in that she was there and popped in to sing a couple of songs – more that she was wearing a see-through zebra print body stocking with big black pants.

I was in the gods and I swear I could see what she had for lunch so I don’t know about those in the posh seats.

The whole evening only added fire to my love of all things Judy.

Also, in a cultural moment I went to see the Dirt exhibition at the Wellcome Institute and Taryn Simon at the Tate Modern.

The first was surprising, not what I expected but very interesting. I didn’t expect the museum of hygiene in Dresden (I have been there) to feature, and  I learnt about how the Nazis used it as a way of promoting ethnic cleansing.

The second was quite a bonkers exhibition. Taryn had researched blood lines and all the families featured had something in common. I don’t want to spoil it for anyone so go and play hunt the connection. The obvious ones are the rabbits!
