synthetic polymer paint on canvas. Ritchie – and his drag persona Cindy Pastel – were the inspiration for the Hugo Weaving character in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
strong image john… i get the feeling ritchie is not so pleased with his alter ego anymore…. his eyes seem especially critical of what he sees……………………..b
yeah ritchie only retired cindy two weeks ago after many years, funny timing as I didn’t think they sat together so comfortably anymore.
