Chita Rivera on HOLLYWOOD PALACE (1968)

This is vintage Chita Rivera singing "Pretty for Me" on Hollywood Palace in 1968. The back up dancers are some sort of proto-Village People. It is so increadibly gay you wonder if they knew it. Fausto and I have been enjoying the heck out of it. Fausto is so into it, I had to stop him from recreating the video in the Target the other day.

I found this video on someone's myspace account and then went to watch it on youtube. I was not surprised that it was uploaded by our friend Robert aka mrpussypants because he has loads of vintage gay video on his youtube account.

That was one of THE most unbelievably campy things I have seen in a while. It HAD to be intentional. Didn't it? Don't tell me, Fausto is dieing for a white ruffled mini dress with white go-go boots?

I've forwarded this on to so many of my friends... this is gayer than the Captain and Tennile doing "Shop Around" during one of their TV specials in the 70s. Surely you've seen that one at Sidetrack or somewhere before. If you haven't, you simply MUST see it.
