Oh wow. Is Amanda Lear really 72 in November? (or should we say 65?). Well, whatever. Who's counting. A friend heard this great dance track in a Rome nightclub recently - turns out to be Amanda's latest release, Chinese Walk. No doubt the BBC or some other taste-Nazi decreed it didn't quite fit a committee Nappy-Dappy playlist, so listen to it here (click arrow). Amanda was possibly born Alain Tapp, known to April Ashley as Peki d'Oslo when they worked at Le Carrousel, a '50s transvestite revue in Paris. For certain she was a protégée and mistress of Salvador Dalí - oh, but, just listen.

Great Europop (pap?) circa 1993.
Fab.
Very early eighties cheese. But the video's fun
It's clever of Amanda Lear not to admit to her sex-change procedure. The moment she does, the story is over, and the press drops her. She's milked the 'mystery' to forge a career. But of course - she's a transsexual.
