i said i could do it..

an entire blog post about THE QUEEN. no, not madonna, not beyonce, NOT EVEN GAGA.

this is about, the one, the only

*bette midler.

she starting out performing in gay bathhouses in NYC and soon gained fame in the underground scene and would become one of the most renowned (and most fabulous) gay icons of all time!

i couldn't find any videos on youtube of those old performances, but here are a few of my personal favorites.

anyone born in the 90's knows this movie, Hocus Pocus



when i was younger i never really "got" this part, but it was pretty simple and obvious what the purpose of the song was.

another from my childhood..

bette in first wives club, probably my favorite role of hers. <3

bette vs. goldie showdown!




Luv her classy humor, not being afraid to say "tits" is always a good quality in a celebrity.




The set/concept for this performance is ridiculous




*not to be mistaken with Joy Behar.




i just realized why i like bette so much. it is because she reminds me so much of my grandma eleanor <3 both are extremely sassy and inspirational
