The lenses on those glasses look like they're from the Hubble space telescope.

More likey she hocked the diamonds and is claiming the theft for inurance money. When was the last time she worked? SS checks don't pay that much

You are soooo wrong Jimmyboyo, she has never stopped working. She's still touring with a one woman show. She is amazing. She's always had a great sense of humor about herself and she's always been a good friend to gay people. I think she's still fabulous.

ahhh, baloney. Larry Craig has it. The invite to the tea room has always been "formal dress."

She's 86 y/o and still as funny as always. A good friend to the gay community all of her professional life.
The above is from my Uncle who is also older than dirt and gay.....lol

Robbyrob, maybe someday, if you're lucky, you'll be as old as she is.
