I feel I must defend myself!

Knowing that Boy George, the millionaire Cockney barrow-boy is also a "Queen".... and Peter stated that the pretty lady was NOT a "Cockney pearly Queen" I wondered if there was an association there... So, I looked up "Cockney pearly Queen" and found That "Pearly Queen" and "Boy George" share a lot... They both enjoy dressing up in silly outfits, both love being the center of attention and can arguably be described as true Queens of their particular fields (you work out which is which).
Anyway, after researching it, I concluded that Peter (being the good guy that he is) meant that his definition of the Pearly Queen was the one dressed in a traditional Cockney costume covered in mother-of-pearl buttons who is exclusive to the London area and Not Boy George!
See, I learn something every day... This site is soooo very educational!!

Thanks Peter!!

Just to show why I was so confused.. I present the following:

Pearly
King N Queen~~ Boy G.

Ol Baldy no need to defend your self you are quite right in your summing up of both party's ( except i dont think that boy george is a millionaire ( i think he went bust) and is at the moment in HMP ( Her Majesy's Prison)
and here is a link about the Pearly's

I think what caused some confusion is maybe our British sense of humour
(Peter's being the worst of course )

Back to the Pearly Queen!

[Kraellin]

i love that first rendition, OB!

[Kraellin]

i was going for a particular look and about half way through i saw something else. just couldnt pass it up

[0lBaldy]

Thanks Craig...
Is that rendition representative of anyone we know?

[Kraellin]

now, if i start naming names, someone is going to be upset. so, uh, no one we know

[Steve Conway]

Peter, either this young lady is checking the pearls to see if the are genuine, or she's pretty hungry.

There's got to be too many to be real, she's hungry, or greedy.

Nice cutout/poster edges there Steve, craig and OB - behave yourselves or I'll tell my mum on you, and my mum' bigger than yours, nah nah. (like them though).

Peter

[Kraellin]

nice one, steve

now, i've got to wonder if anyone besides OB opened mine up all the way and noticed anything odd about the young woman in my rendition. it sort of blends in and not real apparent if you dont open it up

behave? there is little fun in that!
