My 63 year old aunt loves some of Cher's music and she's not gay. Cher is flamboyant in her style on stage, who else could wear it so well? I know a few drag queens myself and so are they, flamboyant that is, they wear it well too. People just seem to knwo what works for themselves. It's the old Hollywood, from whince it came, the days of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Gene Kelly, Leslie Carone, Juliette Prowse, when the sets were so perfectly decorated, dancers adorned the stage and every step was precise, well nearly precise (I never saw Astaire miss a step, nor Gene Kelly. Cher never seems to take herself too seriously all the while perfecting whatever it is she's doing. I think Cher represents the very real side of pop culture.
