SAFETY GAYS!

On our previous post, the ever-inquisitive Ms. Nations asked…

“PLEASE DEFINE THE TERM 'SAFETY GAY' FOR A BITCH WOUDJA.”

Perhaps this photo via TJB at Stirred, Straight Up, With A Twist, will help illustrate…



And now a word from Thombeau whose vivacious “The Redundant Variety Hour” is literally BURSTING with safety gays…

“In a nutshell: When a diva is busy singing and dancing, she is often accompanied by a brigade of choreographed male dancers who not only add to the festivity, but are there to catch her if she falls. Hence the term "safety gays".

Thom goes on to say…

“This clip is a prime example of Safety Gays at work. Not only are they dancing with Miss Mitzi Gaynor, they're spotting her. Because dancing in heels can be downright dangerous at times!”



And remember…it’s Safety Gays 24/7 at The Redundant Variety Hour!

  2. FIRST!

    That dress is working overtime for Mitzi. Is this number off key, or are these pills I'm taking for the kidney stones fucking with my hearing?

    Did somebody swallow a bugle bead?

    2. Seriously, me too. I now realize that what I've been lacking all my life is a fabulously-attired cadre of safety gays (this is assuming they come trained in first aid and cpr). I speak as one who has been attacked by a Christmas tree.

  5. Whoa, wait a minute.

    Did Cookie say kidney stones?

    Just yesterday it was diverticulitis.

    I can't keep you Bitches and your ailments straight.

    Norma and her dry socket, Cookie with her kidney stones....

  6. I would never dance in high heels less sing and dance at the same time! Those ladies are superwomen! Love, love, love!

    And I still don't deserve my gay badge of honor cause I had NO idea what "safety gay" meant. Of course, I spent most of my life banging Bach's Wohltemperierte Klavier on the piano, so I hope this is a good excuse enough!

    btw, didn't sound off key at all to me... am I losing "it"?

  8. I hasten to add that I first heard the term "safety gays" back on Tom&Lorenzo's old Project RunGay blog. It was a life-changing revelation.

    1. That's funny..
      The first time I remember it, I think, was in a rare Lily Thomlin stand-up, I think!

      And frankly, all you Bitches are MY Safety Gays!...and gals.

      It's the new medication.

  12. Yes I did and it was fabulous! I love love love the passionate purple one!

    Gotta agree with the Cool Cookie: Ms. Gaynor is rocking the Casbah in that dress! Is she innocent of undergarments or are her assets cleverly concealed by a taupe bodysheer a 'la Cher? Because I'm pretty sure I spotted bush. I'da voted for that bush.
