| Lurleen 
      is a Lesbian 
  I can't claim to have met John (being a Brit), but I have got all the 
        movies and books, and have been inspired by the general 'Baltimore look' 
        to create a drag persona known as 'Lurleen' (as a lesbian its quite something 
        to suddenly discover your 'inner drag queen'!), and I've ended up as the 
        poster girl for our Cultural Studies programme here at the University 
        of Sussex, as you can see from the photo! 
 I wore the outfit to Halloween in San Francisco in 2004, and was delighted 
        when a passerby told me I reminded her of the women from "back home," 
        which turned out to be Baltimore!
