ANITA BRYANT- PIE FACE
Anita Bryant
former Miss Oklahoma beauty pageant winner, and former spokeswoman for the Florida Citrus Commission (marketing orange juice).
She later became known as an outspoken opponent of gay rights and for her 1977 "Save Our Children" campaign to repeal a local ordinance in Dade County, Florida, that prohibited discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, an involvement that significantly affected her popularity and career in show business.
Bryant became one of the first persons to be publicly "pied" as a political act (in her case, on television), in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1977.Bryant quipped "At least it's a fruit pie," making a pun on the derogatory term of "fruit" for a gay man.
While covered in pie, she began to pray to God to forgive the activist "for his deviant lifestyle" before bursting into tears as the cameras kept rolling. Bryant's husband, after promising not to retaliate, later took another pie and threw it at the protesters who had pied his wife.
By this time, gay activists had ensured the boycott on Florida orange juice had become more prominent and it was supported by many celebrities, including Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler, Paul Williams, Dick Clark, John Waters, Carroll O'Connor, Linda Lavin, Mary Tyler Moore, Charles Schulz, Billie Jean King, and Jane Fonda.
Even many years after her campaign, the gay community continued to regard her name as synonymous with bigotry and homophobia.

KLAUS NOMI-LIME TARTE
and the KLAUS NOMI tart wars begin!
my artist & friend MATTHIAS HERRMANN loved AMY BASTIDA'S~
KLAUS NOMI tart recipe so much, he shared with his students.
here's the repost-
hello rick, "my teacher matthias herrmann made me aware of the superlist you did for butt magazine, which mentioned the lime tarte from klaus nomi. i did a work in 2007 at the release of Andrew Horns Nomi Song documentary, that was built around it too. matthias said i must send you an image, its entitled "rent or lime tarte after klaus nomi". i hope you like it. "
greeting from vienna,
armin lorenz.
******UPDATE******
apparently there is some KLAUS NOMI fetish backlash! amy has just posted this comment, from her son and klaus nomi model- MAX
" Max continues to vex me ," Klaus Nomi is a rip off". He also has offered an astute criticism found in the Wizard of Oz: "The trap door the wicked witch falls through is too obvious. Could have been done better." He has no appreciation for the period of the piece and continues to rant that it "could have been done better." ...and now all Lucy, (amy's daughter) will say over and over again, sighing, is "trap door, trap door".
i don't know why max is saying such things about SAINT KLAUS, but i have a feeling it stems from his father MARCUS, who has not been too impressed with the klaus nomi make-overs.
max does however have a point about the trap door being obvious. i always just accepted it, but now that i view this clip from the classic WIZARD OF OZ, all i see is that damn trap door! thanks max!
