From the day I saw Boy George shimmy onstage on Solid Gold, back in like, 1982, I was hooked.

Growing up in a super small town I had never seen anything or anyone like George in the first 10 years of my life. I couldn’t stop looking at him, studying his clothes, his hair, and of course, the flawless, dramatic makeup. Of course I ran right out and bought Culture Club’s “Kissing to be Clever”, which played over and over on my cassette boom box.

I was inspired to post this today because Boy George actually responded to a tweet of mine and to be honest, I was tickled pink.

I asked him:

@theboygeorge are you and Rosie on talking terms these days?

And he answered:

@spicypants She whispered in my ear ‘friends for life’ ain’t heard from her since!

So Rosie, honey, get on the horn, doll!
