Did you take the time out of your study hall to write that?
he may well have, but it's more impressive that you were willing to give up part of your recess to respond to it. what? swingset full?
NYU, check out the new icon. that's what I call a Marilyn impersonator and, surprise, it's a guy.
He's fabulous O! But the question begs to be asked, is he a subway riding Puerto Rican?

So now this thread is renamed with a delusional self-pity title? Another attempt at emotional manipulation? Lot of that going on lately.
There's only one person I sense is hatin' here.
Wow Orion! Your icon is pretty...he looks just like Marilyn.

Jimmy James?
Who was the man that used to do impersonations of Barbra, Judy and the others? He had an album or two out back in the 70's I believe and he was absolutely INCREDIBLE! I'm thinking it was Jim something (but I could be wrong) Anybody?
Jim Bailey ???

Jim Bailey -- he used to do a Garland that was so uncanny vocally that it would fool some of Judy's longtime fans. I think he's still around.
YES!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You!!! That was going to drive me crazy since I can't access search engines here at work.
More info. I found on Jim:

The Marilyn icon is Jimmy James, one of the best female impersonators I have ever seen. Not only does he look exactly like her (and Judy, Liza, Patsy Cline and many others) his voice is unbelievable. All of his impersonbations are live, not lipsynched. Here's his website:

Jim Bailey will be doing a show as Barbra in Ogunquit Maine next month.
Awesome, guys. Thanks. I really had no idea he was still around!
You can access BWW but not search engines?
That's amusing.
Yep. The block those and they block anything with the word "mail" in it.
Don't ask.

I had to get special dispensation at work to allow access to Playbill. Something about th word "play" I suspect.
Is the fact that NYU is not playing Marilyn related to the upcoming convention? You know MM was like THAT with John and Bobby? Or did they think you were better suited to the Anita Bryant costume?
