A huge thank you to all who came out to the recent Planetaria Fundraiser held by BDBC.

The Ignition Crew and I had a blast, and it was so exciting getting to see so many fun people, and out-of-this-world outfits.

If you missed the show, not to worry. Well be performing again on Feb 10th, in Bothell, for the Prom Fundraiser.

So if you're looking for something hot to warm you up come check us out. 😜

I've been meaning to touch my pmtok gijinkas for a while now. Wanted to start with Entertainer!

Look at them, she is beautiful~!

I few notes on Entertainer...

I imagine Entertainer, or Bibiana/Bib, being genderfluid, you might see me using more gender neutral or female pronouns for them, mostly to avoid confusion while talking about her, but that doesn't rule out the male pronouns! I also took a bit (a lot) of inspiration from drag queens/kings while redesigning Entertainer, it's the main reason her wig has changed, I love the hairstyles the drag community has.

Only her wig, coat, gloves, boots and accessories are made from her rubber bands.

I was an entertainer wearing a purple suit and hat with a flower on it. During a performance I said, “Fuck you, capitalism!”

James Cruden was born 28th December 1915 in Govanhill, Glasgow.

Not a name you will know, but some of you might have known him as Jack Milroy, many more though will be more aware of Jack, as Francie to Rikki Fultons Josie.

As teddy boys Francie and Josie, Fulton and Milroy became comic institutions, igniting their careers, Francie was the naïve and gullible foil to the sardonic Josie (Fulton). Strutting on to the stage dressed in a drab wig and an outrageously tight red “teddy boy” suit, Francie would win laughs before he even opened his mouth. Then, in a heavy Glasgow patois, Francie would react with histrionic horror at Josie’s “carryings-on”.

As a child, he harboured ambitions to become an actor and joined several amateur dramatic societies. During wartime service overseas with the Black Watch, he saw Noel Coward entertain the troops at Chittagong.

On demob in 1947, Milroy got bookings in small theatres, and after being spotted in Carnoustie by a talent scout he was booked for the Tivoli in Aberdeen.

In 1949, he met the singer Mary Lee, who would become his wife in 1953. The two formed a musical and comic double act, performing in Belfast. As a solo act and in pantomime, Milroy packed Scotland’s variety theatres for 50 years. Mary sadly passed away last March at the grand old age of 100.

The double act of Francie and Josie made the transfer from stage to TV – turning them into Still Game’s Jack and Victor of their day. They went on to rub shoulders with everyone who’s anyone in Scotland — Jack also discovered a 16-year-old Janette Anderson — Wee Jimmy Krankie in the making along the way.

Workaholic Jack had a massive heart attack in the mid-1980s. That was followed by another in the late 90s when he needed to have a pacemaker fitted. He gave his last ever performance at the Pavilion in the same year, he passed away on February 1st 2001 of heart disease.
