Hello!
Here's my story. (if you know it already, please skip this post!)
MIMI and I went to see Circle in Paris in December 1999. The show was entirely in French, which was kinda funny being as I don't speak French! LOL! But I managed to follow it and any bits I didn't understand, MIMI explained, bless her. It was very intimate, there were about 200 people there max and we were in the front row drinking beer and smoking fags which was cool!
Anyway, after the show, MIMI went off for more beer (!!!) as I decided to wait outside for The Edster. There were only 5 of us present, and we were lucky enough to be invited back into the theatre to meet him. Being as I'd met him numerous times before, I wasn't as awe-struck as I had been in the past, therefore when he came strutting over (as he does) I calmly walked over to him, put my arms around him and...
voila!
What you can't see in the pic is that he had his arms around me too! Whoooo-hoooo! And he even closed his eyes, awww how romantic! *G* His eyes are that blue, he smelt gorgeous, his skin was extremely smooth as opposed to when I met him outside Lenny...
... where he had stubble, but still had that same musky smell about him. That smell is natural, definitely not aftershave or perfume. *faints at the memory*
Anyway, I didn't want to let go, but alas, there were four other people waiting to say hi although none of them got "that" close, hehehehehe.
Eeeks, there's loads more I can say but I think this is long enough for one post! EM, I'll mail you with more detail hunni if you're interested!!
Big squeezies!!

p.s. What was Sarah going on about?!
AS EDDIE IZZARD PREPARES TO FRONT A FUNDRAISING EXTRAVAGANZA, HE TALKS ABOUT WHY HE WANTS TO UNITE EUROPE...AND DO A GIG IN JAPANESE.
"I'm just a male lesbian who's made a career out of talking a load of rubbish."
Interview by Mark Jagasia
EDDIE IZZARD's brand of left-field whimsy and his droll, amicable personality shining out from everything that he does have made him an undisputed national favourite. His comedy treads surreal and delightful paths - creating worlds in which crafty pets prospect for oil behind living room sofas - but it never strays into malice or cheap crudity.
The easy charm of the 39 year old has won over people who might, with another public figure, have been uncomfortable with his penchant for wearing make-up.
It is this winning mixture of determination and levity which he is bringing to bear on what he sees as a deeply important responsibility, hosting and organising the sequel to the most famous fund-raising events of the past three decades, The Secret Policeman's Ball.
The responsibility he feels lies not in the event per se - although for comedy fans it will have a great deal to live up to - but for the cause that is champions, the human rights charity Amnesty International. A spectacular one-night festival of stand-up comedy and music at Wembley Arena on June 3, it marks the 40th anniversary of the crusading organisation.
Although laughter and earnestness can be uncomfortable bedfellows - take the disconcerting and sobering pictures of poverty stricken children that are often interspersed into the annual Comic Relief nights on the BBC - Izzard believes profoundly in the event.
"John Cleese recommended me to do it, fool that he is", he says.
"He did it originally, so it's a handing on of the baton. It's a big undertaking but I've played Wembley before and so it should be a wild, crazy, hectic night. Comedy in this situation is to raise money and raise awareness.
"This is human politics. I deal with them more and more in my stand up.
"I talk a lot of garbage of course and I don't deal with party politics. I'm not so interested in that because it soon disappears.
"Comedy has a certain amount of force, but I don't know how much it actually changes things. People get entertained by it, that's the first thing, so with people coming to Wembley it will raise money and we can sell the television rights around the world" he explains.
The line-up for the concert, titled We Know Where You Live, is being kept a closely guarded secret although "huge" names from here and the United States are being promised. The original concerts in 1979 and 1982 which were recorded and released as two films, featured Peter Cook, Billy Connolly, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Victoria Wood, Alan Bennett and Rowan Atkinson and are seen as snap shots of the best comedy of the period.
Although the first two concerts features several famous sketches and skits, Izzard says that the emphasis this time will be slightly different, mainly because the original Balls were filmed in the more intimate surroundings of a theatre.
"I think it's going to be more stand-up based", he says.
"Its kind of weird in Wembley because it feels more logical to do stand-up. I think you could do sketches - with a lot of cameras and huge screens it might be possible. Still, it will probably be mainly stand-up. You lose on intimacy, but you gain on the event."
The drive which Izzard is displaying in promoting the Amnesty concert is entirely characteristic, in his own way he has long been a campaigner but without ever displaying the slightly irritating political didacticism of someone like Ben Elton.
Izzard's causes are the political movement towards a more integrated and mutually understating Europe and what he calls the "transgender community". He describes himself as a "male lesbian", someone who feels at home as a woman but who is sexually exclusively attracted to women. He has a girlfriend, but adamantly refuses to reveal her identity or discuss the relationship.
He was born in Yemen in 1962. His father worked for petroleum firm BP as an accountant and his mother Dorothy was a midwife.
When Izzard was six, his mother died of cancer. Soon after this, he was sent to boarding school where, like so many other comics, his talent for laughter surfaced in the classroom. He says that he liked wearing frocks from the age of four but kept that fact to himself. At 15, he was caught stealing lipstick but lied and said it was for a girl. At 30, he performed his first comedy gig in a dress.
"It wasn't a drama at all", he says. "The way I do it is to go on to talk a load of garbage. My career is talking rubbish, or doing films and being creative, and I just happen to be transgender. It's a lot more cool and groovy now. You separate sexuality and what you do for a living. "
It's not just with this personal issue that Izzard practises what he preaches. As an ardent believer in closer ties between us and our European neighbours, he has taken the brave step of performing comedy gigs in an many countries as he can - and in their native languages irrespective of whether he can already speak them or not.
"I want to do a gig in Germany, in German, by the end of 2002 that's my next plan," says Izzard, who has donated £10,000 to the Labour Party.
"Spain, Italy, Russia, Japan. I just keep mentioning it so people say, 'Hey, you said you were going to do this' and then you can't get away from it. I'm a tenacious bastard and if I get it into my head to go and do something, I'll keep battering away.
"The early French gigs I did were quite awful, they were not entertaining, they were just me stammering and having a bad time. By the end of the last ones I did, two weeks of playing in Paris, I was quite entertaining, a decent gig. My French is like a 14 year old trying to do stand-up. I can ask for a helicopter with jam on it, so it sounds a bit off, but the only way you can get on is to keep pushing at it.
"The thing is, I have the relentless, dogged approach for things and it seems the only way of doing it. I'm into the idea of a melting pot in Europe and Britain should be part of it. We've never adjusted to the loss of the Empire but we need to think on a big scale again as part of a bigger entity. So if we just talk to each other, get a bit more trust going on, we will get somewhere."
IZZARD, who divides his time between a home in London's Notting Hill and a pad in Los Angeles, and who says he is unashamedly ambitious, is also increasing turning his concentration to films. His celluloid career so far has been bumpy. He has acquitted himself well in some not very good films, such as the Avengers movie with Ralph Fiennes, but he is showing characteristic grit.
"Film is something I've always wanted to do", he says, "I've always been a movie nut, so almost everything I've done has been to try to get into the films even though I now love doing stand-up and I've always loved doing comedy. But I don't think I've done really good work up to now. That's OK because I have to learn the technique and I didn't really know what I was doing."
However, the parts are still being offered. "I've just played Charlie Chaplin in a film called The Cat's Miaow. Peter Bogdanovich directed that," he says. "I think that's going to be good. The vibe on it's good. It's about William Randolf Hearst and his mistress Marion Davies. In 1924, they did a boat trip party. Charlie Chaplin was on board, Louella Parsons the American gossip columnist was on board and someone got shot on the yacht and it was all covered up.
"I play Chaplin ages about 35 and at that time just about the most famous person in the world. It's not about the public Chapin, it's about the private Chapin chasing after Marion Davies. It will be interesting to see what people think.
"There is another film as well called All The Queen's Men which is about four soldiers going into Germany to pick up yet another Enigma machine, but they have to dress up as women.
"It's a bit like Some Like It Hot meets The Great Escape and it's got the Second World War as a kind of backdrop. It's all about sex and sexuality and women working in men's jobs and men dressing up as women and it has a comedy element."
Given Izzard's own background, it seems at last Hollywood has come up with a part tailor-made for him.

Hello Mrs. B -- Amy, 10:12:46 03/22/01 Thu
I am in love with Eddie. I have been digging him ever since I saw him make funnies on the big black box in my living room that lights up and makes noise. I would love to meet him. I am doing a show in LA in May and I would LOVE to have him come to one of them. I think he is so amazing. He has been a true inspiration for me. I have been working on what I would like to say to him, probably just "Do you want a Coffee" and we all know what that will lead to. I don't know if you have any clue where he is now a days or how I might get a hold of him. I did hear that he was in LA taking a writing workshop. (a friend of mine saw him there) If you have any advice, I would be forever in your debt.
Love, Amy (the Diva)
