The picture above shows a limited edition UK of a Y-Fronts shaped 'picture disc' of the single, Walk Like A Man (of which I am the proud owner - and, no, it's not for sale!). Just in case you aren't sure which one is Divine ( ? ), I'll give you a clue. Divine didn't wear red underpants. And neither, by the looks of it, will that nameless hunk if Divine gets her way...

Divine’s Beauty Tips

Huw: Have you got a great beauty tip that you can give me?

Divine: The one thing you must always remember about makeup is that you can never wear too much.

Huw: What’s the secret of your soft skin?

Divine: Lots of oil in the diet, plenty of French fries and lots of sex!

Huw: What’s the worst thing you can do for your skin?

Divine: Leave that makeup on all night. Unless, of course, your skin is hardened to such treatment. I beat mine into submission years go.

Huw: How much foundation do you use?

Divine: Enough to build a skyscraper on. The heavier the pancake the better. What’s the point of wearing makeup if nobody can tell you’ve got it on?

Huw: Have you any other special beauty tips?

Divine: In one film I worked with the man who used to do the makeup for Marilyn Monroe. He told me that the most important thing was to scrub your skin with plenty of soap and water. That gives you a beautiful complexion. So that’s what I do. And can’t you see that it works!

Huw: Do you like changing your style of makeup from time to time?

Divine: Oh yes. Over the years I’ve become much more restrained. For example, I used to have eyebrows painted much higher of my forehead. But as the years have gone by, everything’s dropped down by about a foot!

Huw: Everything?

Divine: Are we still talking about my makeup? If you want to know about anything else you’d better talk to my solicitor.

Huw: Have you ever worn a beauty spot?

Divine: I’ve had my face riddled with them! I’ve worn as many as five at a time. These days I have them painted on with greasepaint. I tried stick-on ones but I found that whenever I smiled they fell off my face. People didn’t like it so much when I had to keep fishing around in their drinks for my beauty spots.

Huw: How long does it take to put on your makeup?

Divine: Between two and four hours including the hair. I have to shave, get the hair into shape, then do the makeup. All you girls should just be thankful that you don’t have to shave your chests every day. Well, maybe you do? Who am I to say….?

Huw: What about exercise? Do you do aerobics or work out in a gym?

Divine: You must be kidding! I guess I’m just lucky. I have a naturally good figure!

Huw: Who do you think is the most glamorous woman in show business?

Divine: Probably Elizabeth Taylor. Both her appearance and her lifestyle epitomise a true movie star. Diana Dors was another of my favourite film stars. She appealed to me far more than Marilyn Monroe ever did. Monroe was very innocent and childlike but Diana Dors was a real woman – what you might call a ‘sex kitten’.

Huw: And who do you think are the most unglamorous stars?

Divine: Helen Reddy, Donna Summer, Bette Midler… there are quite a few.

Huw: What’s wrong with them?

Divine: Just look at them! They’ve got faces that could stop trains! They might have been popular in the 1970s but ‘ugly’ has gone out of fashion since then.

Huw: What tips would you give them to improve their appearance?

Divine: Get a good plastic surgeon.
