W&M had been on my mind for a long time. I wanted to see some old stuff, but how? Where? Well, my wish came true! I became aquainted with a pupeteer named Tim Reilly who worked with W&M for years! Not only that, but he continues the tradition with an act of his own:

Tim hooked me up with a copy of "Madame in Manhattan," a made-for-TV special. Well, not only does the act hold up but it gets better with age!
Tim's Madamesque character is "Dusty Floors," the worlds oldest female impersonator. Hmmm, I guess he hasn't met Sabrina.
Tim and Dusty are coming to town and rumor has it that they may be making a surprise appearance at Cabaret Magique. I'm planning to venture West and see the whole act at Rose's Turn. I'm probably going Sunday if anyone would like to tag along.
