BOY GEORGE

(Pronounced “Boy Howdy!”)

July 1, 1983

HOME: Suffragette City.

AGE: Not quite a man.

PROFESSION: Kissing to be clever.

HOBBIES: Giggling with delight, love twisting with Captain Crucial, turning the clock of the heart, listening to old Smokey Robinson discs, letting people make him cry.

LAST BOOK READ: How To Make Love To A Woman by Michael Morgenstern.

LAST ACCOMPLISHMENT: Kidding J. Kordosh “rather cruelly.”

QUOTE: “In a country that spawned Liberace, I’m hardly a revolutionary.”

BEER: Boy Howdy! (Boys of a feather flock together!)
