The wonderful Pinky has died, what a loss. The lovely Phil Lewis. When I joined my Youth Theatre in the 70s, Pinky and his gang were camp, hilarious, wise and brilliant. Camp became a way for us to express who we really are.
Pinky moved to London with Jill Nalder and Jae Alexander where they founded the Pink Palace, and Pinky went on to become a much-loved drag queen in Brighton. I didn't see him for decades, though I heard the stories, but we all met up recently and we laughed. Like I'd seen him yesterday.
I hope a mysterious woman in a big hat turns up at his funeral, he'd be delighted. Night, Pinky darling.
