I thought I remembered hearing a story once that he did enter a look-alike contest and came, like, 7th or something. Tried to look it up now but I guess I remembered wrong since I can’t find anything.

Fish, you are correct, the band got loaded one night after their second album release party, went to a London club hosting the Boy George Look A Like contest. George likely would have been at least a finalist but was so intoxicated he could barely stand, much less do his own signature dance moves. You are also correct regarding 7th place, where there were apparently eight contestants in the show. The story still circulates worldwide, he's mentioned it in a few interviews, laughs it off.
