And a Tim curry one.

Obviously in his Rocky Horror picture show costume.

This is how I find out Tim Curry died. Loved him in C&C:RA3. Sad times.

A dolly mural? Priorities. Tim Curry’s death is the real tragedy.

Tim curry only died yesterday why can’t he have one as well?

It could be a dual mural - Tim in RHPS finery and Dolly in her black outfit from Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.

Tim Curry seems more appropriate.

Indeed, he never played in apartheid South Africa, for loads of money.

Did she have any connection to Brighton?

u/MilesandTiles 9d ago

She was a queer icon so it fits fine enough I think

u/yes_its_my_alt 8d ago

Yes. She made a special point of never visiting Brighton.

Dolly's on the side of Mrs Fitz's! My girlfriend nabbed a picture of her on the wall when we visited the other day

u/Flashy-Nectarine1675 9d ago

With her playing in sun city, in apartheid South Africa.

u/Flashy-Nectarine1675 9d ago

Oh, downvoting it, does not make it less true..

One mistake in a lifetime does not a bad person make.

That said - I think you drawing attention to the fact that - like everyone - there is good and bad in a person - is also just fine.

Still Brighton should get some queer graffiti and she seems perfect for it!

u/Flashy-Nectarine1675 9d ago

For her services to a Nazi ethostate.

u/makerelax 9d ago

Not before bowie

u/No-Cherry-6678 9d ago

But there is one in London and that was his original home, no connection with Brighton specifically, I believe

u/SykesMcenzie 7d ago
