Everything you ever wanted to know but were too afraid to ask!!! An absolutely brilliant book lovingly, yet honestly written account of Leigh's life. Larger than life in many ways and part of a movement of artistic expression that was thrilling and exciting in my developing teens I finally got to read this book (I've wanted to for years). Sue Tilley is a brillliant author, crafting a wonderful and colourful story that can be read again and again. Thank you Sue.

After seeing Boy George's musical Taboo i bought the book as i was intrigued by the character played by George,Leigh Bowery.
From the moment i started reading sue's book i was hooked and wanted to know more about the life and times of this facinating outrageous person.Sue one of his oldest friends tells of his extraordinary life as if you were chatting to an old friend as it is so down to earth, she avoids making any judgements about his outrageous behavior you end up just wanting to know more.
