#caftan

I love Bildad the Shuhite for the beard, the sunglasses, the hair, and the grin like the rest of you.

I am absolutely feral for the caftan. I need 1000% more David Tennant/Crowley in caftans. Just that long string bean of a man shaped being in long loose flowing dress-type garment.

Like I need Crowley rocking up on the main stage of season 11 of Rupaul’s drag race.

Born on this day 83 years ago (19 September 1940): effervescent and eccentric fuchsia-haired doyenne of British fashion, Dame Zandra Rhodes. She is of course the undisputed queen of the elaborately bejewelled float-y chiffon caftan, but I prefer Rhodes’ response to the rise of punk in 1977. To the revulsion of punk purists, Rhodes launched her own deluxe haute couture interpretation of punk fashion, with artful jagged rips and tears, embellished with glittering safety pins and chains! Some have claimed this made her “the high priestess of punk”, although I suspect the late Vivienne Westwood disagreed. Anyway, over the decades her clientele has numbered international jet set superstar names like Elizabeth Taylor, Jacqueline Kennedy, Cher, Bianca Jagger, Barbra Streisand and Princesses Margaret and Diana. But as far as I’m concerned, no one looked better in Rhodes’ signature caftans than drag mega-star Divine! (Rhodes and Divine were friends in the 1980s and in fact the only times I’ve ever spotted Rhodes socially, it’s been backstage at John Waters’ events in London, accompanied by Helena Kennedy QC and transgender trailblazer April Ashley). Pictured: portrait of Rhodes by Alun Callender, 2022.

I’m going as Mrs. Roper from Three’s Company for Halloween this year 👻 It’s been on my list of costumes for a while now & with the rise of Roper Romps, this is the perfect year to do it! My costume will be used for several events. I have my first Roper Romp in Austin November 9th 🌺

Some ladies use Halloween to dress sexy, I use it to dress as an old lady 😆 The Mrs. Roper caftan that I ordered is waiting for me at my parents place! (I’m spending Halloween in ROC this year) 🎃

UPDATE: My costume was a great success!
