Millie Mopp, 7ft 10” of Blonde Amazonian True Drag Goddess, retired from all things fabulous and hung up her now infamous ‘riah on 29/12/2000 after a career that spanned 16 years.

Known for her re-writes of famous songs that were re-interpreted to fit her unique style; such classics as Madonna’s vogue became Millie’s Blokes, Any dream Will Do from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat  became Any Queen Can Sue, inspired by Jason Donovan’s libel case against The Face magazine and the now infamous I’ve Written A Letter To Maggie. Dressed as Baby Jane Hudson and inspired by the song I’ve written A Letter to daddy from the film ‘Whatever Happened to Baby Jane’, it was written in direct response to the passing of section 28 by the then Conservative government. Performed all over the Gay scene by Millie, it became the ‘unofficial’ anthem for this archaic and despicable act passed to encroach on our human rights. The famous line ‘your own daughter Carols not married, maybe, she’s one too’ used to receive the biggest cheer, ensuring ‘Millie-tant Millie Mopp’ a place in gay history.

Millie Mopp worked tirelessly for many gay charities, giving her time for free and assisting in raising many thousands of pounds for worthwhile causes. Charities from Gay Pride, the London Lighthouse and Crusaid benefited from her unique style, talent and patronage.

Known for her ‘Marge Simpson’ riah (Millie came before Marge by the way) and her lallies that went on for days, Millie’s unique sense of style and stunning costumes assisted her in becoming what she set out to be…a TRUE legend in her own life time!
