BFM :: Shelah Talks

Did the opening ceremony of the Olympics baffle you as it did Shelah? Our diva gets her manicured nails deep into that mysterious English spectacle. She also talks the walk on promises and broken, and asks exactly how much did Sir Paul get paid for playing at the Olympic Opening and is otherwise her fabulous self.

Electric violinist Dennis Lau, chafes at the tag, 'the male version of Vanessa Mae'. Our flamboyant Shelah meets her match in Dennis, wigless as he may be. They discuss the Olympics, Lee Chong Wei's chances of winning a gold , weightlifting and those awful songs. This episode isn't as PG-rated as it's supposed to be.

“What if,” Shelah asks. What would we become if we hadn't had the experiences we’ve had as a country? What if the world really ends this December? What if Shelah Talks is no longer hosted by Shelah. His utopian dreams intact – and he applauds all of you for your own fantasies – he walks on proudly.

There’s no business like show business. Shelah gets under the skin of the performing arts. Gripped by that haunting Shakespearean question "to be or not to be", she waxes lyrical about being prancing about on the stage. And we know with her, all the world’s a stage.

DVD killed the VCR star! Or did it? We seem to be caught up with the analogue medium, especially secret recordings involving politicians. Are we seeing a revival of the VCR? Do we all have voyeuristic tendencies? Shelah takes a hard look at the phenomenon through her heavy mascara.

Hormones rage, tempers flare, fluffy kittens and sappy TV commercials bring tears to your eyes, yes you’re right it’s that time of the month.  Allay your period dramas with an extended dose of Shelah, joined by the equally stunning Bernie Chan, former beauty queen whose had the accolade of being mistaken for a “ladyboy”. They compare notes on the perils of radio, drinking from the fountain of youth and trying everything once.

Tragedy strikes Shelah again. Her trusted Proton Saga fails her yet again in the mid day heat. Whilst waiting for SOS to arrive, KL's unpredictable Pollutant Standards Index reading  inspires a rather unusual list of 10 things to do on a hazy day. It starts with scuba diving. Why? Just have a listen.

From tennis to love song, and with more eye shadow than the Titanic could ever have kept afloat, our resident Drag Queen Shelah tackles that old chesnut, What is Love?

Shelah toasts the Queen of England on her diamond Jubilee celebration and tests the power of her ‘England’. In what promises to be a majestic episode, we wonder, what else does our resident drag queen have up her sequined sleeve?
