to be fair, at that time (I was alive then) if you had two contestants who both closely resembled boy george, and one of the contenstants was a boy, that contestant was going to win. Boy George was really the first time that you had a crossdresser hit that level of popularity so to ignore the crossdressing aspect in a look alike contest was not likely to happen. But tell mom she crushed it.

That makes total sense! I’ll relay that to my mother because it’s been about 37-38 years and she still talks about her disappointment for losing. 😆
