My plans for the evening of 9/11/01 were to attend a west Chelsea art opening by transsexual singing sensation Amanda Lear. I didn’t make it–but she didn’t cancel! Amanda was the muse of Spanish artist Salvador Dali and is a major star in her native Europe.
She had a splash on the French charts with her own unimpassioned interpretation of the theme from the Love Boat. Her “singing” “style” is often generously compared to Marlene Dietrich, and despite their many differences, people are constantly getting her mixed up with Amanda Lepore.
