Greetings Shirleyphiles and welcome to another 40 minutes or so of low-fi lovliness!

Regular Shirleyphiles … now there’s a contradiction in terms … will probably be gagging over our decision to move the old site to a blog format, but my faithful manservant mr.Kenneth was getting rather tired of managing all that pesky code. So after talking it over a few shandies we decided to grow up after six years of bringing you these twisted little shows and join ‘blogdom’. Besides, I also felt radioShirley was begging for a new coat of war paint, so here it is!!! And to celebrate the new look, we’ve put together a brand new show all about … ahem … makeovers!

Inspired by the fabulous photo above of laShirl spotted in the workplace sent to me by our favourite “rabid Aussie chick” and devoted Shirleyphile, laCass of Melbourne Australia, mr.K has put together a splendid mix of tunes and sound bytes that all revolve around the theme of DRAG.

Hiding in this musical make-up kit among other aural delights are Frank Sinatra, Blondie, Bobbie Gentry, Marc Almond, Taboo, Hermans Hermits, Miss Piggy, David Rose, New York Dolls, Lorrae Desmond and The Raincoats. Like a makeup powder made from crushed pearls …. sounds fascinating, doesn’t it?

and as a parting tip, remember … “any up line, is a young line”

*be smooched*

laShirl and mr.K
