Peaches Christ talks about films originally made for women, but that have taken on a life of their own as camp classics for gay men in “Chick Flicks for Gay Men” .
Here’s a clip from the 1953 film “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” where Jane Russell’s character is on a cruise ship surrounded by the U.S. Men’s Olympic Team. For for some reason this all male scantily clad group is not attracted to poor Jane at all. Could it be that they are all gay? Well, all the butt shaking routines choreographed by Jack Cole could certainly suggests exactly that.
Jack Cole was one of Hollywood’s great gay choreographers and is noted for creating “theater dance.” Cole’s unmistakable style influenced the work of people like Bob Fosse and Tommy Tune and countless other directors of music videos, theater and film. I wonder how many drag queens in the world today owe their style of performance to this great man?
From his biography, he was said to be a demanding and relentless taskmaster in his pursuit of dance excellence. Check it out for yourself.

What a nightmare. Being in a third world country and then get seriously injured. Lucky they brought her directly to a hospital. Wish she recovers...

Where are these boys when I go to the local pool? lol
Marc Felion says:
Her earrings look phallic!
RcktMan says:
GOD I love this number. Everyone goes nuts over “Two Little Girls from Little Rock” and “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend,” but this is MY favorite! Jane Russell was so sexy.
Oh yeah, the guys were too!
RcktMan says:
Oh and another tidbit- when she fell in the pool, that was completely by accident. She wasn’t supposed to, but they kept it in.
goldie says:
You also get to see Jane doing things with her eyebrows that no botoxed actress could do today.
