Members Faulkner Posted January 5 Author Members Share Posted January 5 (edited) Yeah, I did a total double take when I saw it. She was immensely gifted, a lot like Jinkx Monsoon, and seemed to be doing so well. Very tragic. Sahara, Chi Chi, Cherry Valentine from the UK, Bandit from Thailand, and now Viv. From Michelle Visage: Lots of Drag Race alumni chiming in with their shock in the comments. Edited January 5 by Faulkner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members janea4old Posted January 7 Members Share Posted January 7 I grew up on Peter Paul and Mary music. I didn't know any of this info about him Quoting the NYT obit: Mr. Yarrow had been accused of making sexual advances toward a 14-year-old girl who had come to his dressing room with her 17-year-old sister seeking an autograph in 1969. He served three months of a one-to-three-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to taking “indecent liberties” with the girl. In 1981, Mr. Yarrow received a presidential pardon from Jimmy Carter, though the case continued to be an issue for many years during election campaigns for politicians whom Mr. Yarrow supported. In 2019, during the height of the #MeToo movement against sexual abuse of women, a scheduled performance by Mr. Yarrow at an upstate New York arts festival was canceled in response to protests. A remorseful Mr. Yarrow responded in a statement by saying that the organizers’ choice to exclude him was not “unfair or unjust.” “I do not seek to minimize or excuse what I have done and I cannot adequately express my apologies and sorrow for the pain and injury I have caused,” he said in a statement to The New York Times. In 1969, Mr. Yarrow married Marybeth McCarthy, a niece of the Democratic presidential candidate Eugene McCarthy. (Mr. Stookey wrote “Wedding Song,” which has since been performed in their honor at wedding ceremonies around the world.) The marriage ended in divorce, but they remarried in 2022. In addition to her, Mr. Yarrow is survived by a son, Christopher; a daughter, Bethany; and a granddaughter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted January 9 Members Share Posted January 9 I've mostly seen "eat the rich" responses to the losses from the wildfires, which I get I guess, but it was very emotional hearing what Melissa Rivers said about the few mementos from her parents (including Joan's Daytime Emmy) that she managed to save. https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/joan-rivers-emmy-award-saved-fires-house-burns-down-1236270822/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted January 9 Members Share Posted January 9 (edited) These disgusting eat the rich comments should be illegal and people should be prosecuted for cheering on people losing their homes. It's not only rich people BTW, ANIMALS ARE DYING, losing their lives, suffocating. HOW DARE THEY BE HAPPY ABOUT THIS. SICK MONSTERS!

Members Khan Posted January 9 Members Share Posted January 9 (edited) In a way, it's touching that Melissa managed to save Joan's Emmy, as that win meant a lot to Joan after everything she'd been through personally and professionally. Like she said on several occasions, the Emmy was one thing they (meaning, the industry) couldn't take away from her.

Members DRW50 Posted January 10 Members Share Posted January 10 (edited) https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/music-news/anita-bryant-dead-singer-orange-juice-gay-rights-1236105715/ Her passing is a timely reminder that her views never went away just because she did - they are now as prominent, if not moreso than they were in her heyday. I am trying not to speak ill of the dead so I will just say I hope her last years were reflective, and at least she won't be buried on Trump's golf course.
