I know the video of THE GODDESS BUNNY tap dancing has made its rounds for a while. Call me daft but I didn't know it was a drag queen with polio. There's a whoe documentary on her.

hmm, is this person well known?

Somebody posted an animated gif of this a while back and I was trying to figure out where the hell it was from.




Thank you.

Oh a serious note, I had sort of a spiritual 'wake-me-up' a couple of years ago at the gym of all places due to a girl that I suspect has the same condition.

She was probably no more than 12 or 13, and just absolutely beautiful. Radiant.

Here I was at the gym, pissing and moaning about my looks, that my chest was too small, that my arms were too flimsy, etc. etc., and really feeling down about myself.

Then in walks this beautiful young girl with who I suspect was her father though he was at least 50+ years in age. She had the most beautiful face, Miggy. I mean, just angelic.

And she walked in, shuffling and stammering due to her frame. She appeared a little bit intimidated to be in the gym (I went to a huge, fancy schmansy gym filled with the usual gym bods, etc.). But she marched on with her dad, being a trooper, also looking excited to see all the things inside the gym.

I did not stare--I never do. But I did notice her. And it affected me deeply.


Here I was, feeling down about myself, when this girl will always have so much more to deal with than me. I was selfish and just down-right stupid.

I'm not an emotional person normally. I don't cry easy. I don't pour my feelings out to folks. But this doesn't mean I don't feel things. I had to leave the gym and on the drive home I weeped

Why would God give such a beautiful girl such a broken frame? It just struck me as awfully cruel. It made me doubt myself in many ways--was I feeling pity for her in an arrogant "oh would you look at that poor dear" sort of way? Or was I feeling shitty that I had all this potential and I wasn't living up to it? Whatever thoughts went through my mind, they shook me



Yeah, sometimes I'm a head case

I totally understand. There's a guy at my gym that has really short arms. I don't know why. I don't know if it's a birth defect or whatever. He got on the eliptical, the one with the arm things. I was thinking "How in the hell is he going to reach them." Sure enough there he was doing his thing. He made me smile.

I didn't feel sorry for him. Why? Because nothing was stopping him.

He's more of an underground Hollywood celebrity. I haven't finished watching the whole documentary. I'm assuming he's no longer with us.

ohh I remember that tap dancing video, I didn't know Bunny was a drag queen either.

I'mma try and watch the doc. when i'm finished with Paris Is Burning in a moment.

i remember her from way back. i think there was an article in an old RE:Search book about her. she's interesting.

That has to be one of the strangest things I've sat and watched all the way thru. Almost stopped watching but i enjoyed the serving of T at the end of part 8 I think it was (continued in part 9) Does anybody know what that lady in white yelled at the camera while she was packing her shit into the car or wahtever in Part 2? . There were some real wtf moments, I can't believe she's been rapped and abused

NSFW!!!!

The Goddess Bunny was in Marilyn Manson's video for the Dope Show. Here she is showing her boobies to Twiggy & Pogo in the backseat of a limo. And she dances too.
