"She was a thrilling creature, rangy and stunning and suave—a mink in a men’s suit. But Madonna’s famous quote upon meeting lang, “Elvis is alive … and she’s beautiful!,” kind of missed the mark.
Because lang wasn’t beautiful or pretty, she was handsome. She was butch.
Never before had Americans seen female masculinity so overtly and unapologetically on display,
and we couldn’t take our eyes off it."
