"...And then after drinking those drinks, throw on a coconut bra, drop your pants and put on a grass skirt and dance for the guys."

I guess things are different in California.

I can sort of agree with tobunga. I've read things around here that seemed worse but I don't believe in comparing situations in order to justify something.

If the picture wasn't of Lee who so openly lived such a flashy life I might find the cut-and-paste pic and title a little crass.

But I'm glad to see someone politely speaking up when they find something they disagree with. There's always a risk of getting trashed or people thinking you're no fun anymore when you express such opinions.

Still,

OH MY GAWD! WHAT A FABULOUS OUTFIT!

Liberace's Bicentennial Hot Pants outfit is on display at his museum in Las Vegas. When I saw the outfit some years back I think my jaw literally fell open because how can you see that outfit and not be overcome with patriotism?

I'm a little surprised Lee isn't more of a cultural icon. There's really never been anyone...Or anything...Like him.

Despite Lee's seeming lack of widespread popularity his influence on culture can't be denied...
