If you haven’t seen it, seek out the Pee Wee Christmas Special. It’s gleefully kitchy and fun, and stuffed to the gills with guest stars: Frankie & Annette, Little Richard, k.d. lang, Cher, Charo, etc etc. My favorite moment: Grace Jones arriving in a crate to sing “Little Drummer Boy”.

They are wonderful maniacs.

And is Grace Jones wearing a super hep rubber corset? Pee-Wee!!

heh, these guys played a show in my friend’s basement. they played hackey-sack with me and my buddy on the lawn and they kept calling each other “Gee,” I think they’d been sessioning the Black Sheep cd a lot. great show, too.

Supposedly she designed her corset and headpiece herself, and the music was arranged by David Bowie.

You also get to see the new wing of his playhouse, constructed out of fruitcakes by two manly construction workers. Oh, Pee Wee.

That would be like suggesting that the heroic leaders of Freedonia never worked for a Big department Store!

Apparently Paul Reubens claims that his ageless appearance was the result of high-tech digital retouching techniques, but I think that’s just a cover story he’s feeding the press due to the ongoing social stigma against vampirism.

I wanted to kill the messenger, I’d make you watch Go West
