You know she is my favorite singer and even if you don’t like Celine I dare
you to not be moved by this performance. Glorious, controlled, flawless.
And one of my favorite songs.

Thanks for listening to the Queercast!
Happy Holidays (from me and Celine)!

My favorite gay Christmas video of all time! Well the Brits with all their hair (frosting, highlights and roots) and 80’s clothes - what is George Michael wearing and of course Boy George and his little dance with his eyeshadow…. all so gay I LOVE IT!… Sade, Sting, John Taylor of Duran Duran, Bananarama, Flocks of some Seagulls — yee hah!

Does not get better than this and always gets me in the spirit

Happy Christmas-time!

Host: Amy Matheny with Alexandra Billings

The gals are back and the opinions are flying. Alex speaks her mind about Governor Blagojevich (well, his hair), Rick Warren, George Bush’s shoe attack (and you’ll love Amy’s response), the open Senate Seat in New York, Fran Drescher and so much more. It’s good to have the girls back together again in time for Christmas.
