Would you have fucked Leigh Bowery?

No.

No.

No.

The exhibition in the Tate Modern is fab! But no, I wouldn't have fucked him with your cock OP!

I hope the OP has the good grace to thank you for that, r4.

Ick.

Who dat?

Muse for Lucian Freud, who painted some masterpieces of the (literally) great man. Otherwise, a super-bohemian edgy scene-maker and performance artist, whose genius berserk surreal outfits are quite the trip. Freud though preferred his voluminous flesh.

Once in a questionnaire, Bowery was asked his biggest regret. Answer, 'Unprotected sex with over a thousand men.' Obviously, that didn't end well.

I thought the Tate Modern exhibition was fascinating, insofar as I thought it gave the impression that Bowery was a massive insufferable cunt.

Wow.

OP gives us present tense, past tense and two modal auxiliaries of lost opportunity.

Time travel must have left her confused.

My answer, therefore, is, was, would be, would have been, shall be, and shall have been,

no.

No.

No.

He got Kruggerand?

My cholesterol is high enough, thanks.

At one of his ‘performance’ evenings Leigh gave himself an enema on stage, unfortunately it sprayed over some of the people in the audience. David Bowie was in the audience and was horrified.

That's be incest. And gross.

Apparently he had quite a big dick and people have talked about it in interviews - and hooked up with a lot of men, mainly cruising and anonymous sex.

Part of me has profound respect for what he did - I saw him perform once before he passed. Other part thinks he was really battling a lot of demons, not to mention the awful AIDS.

Sad.

He was a hero to Boy George....or at least an inspiration. I think George played him in Taboo.

From reading about Bowery, there doesn’t seem to be anything about him that I would have found compelling. His performance art just seems kind of gross and/or pointless.

“Taboo” would never have been a hit in the US.
