"
A lot of people used to ask :'What
sex is that ? " In case you're
also wondering. Klaus Nomi
is male. even though he look
like some German expressionist
film maker's vision of death
and sings like pinocchio on
helium. In fact, he's probably the
world's only male operatic singer
who's been influenced more
by Maria Callas than by Robert
Merrill. But the avan : New
waver and the chichi Fiorucci
crowd seem to like his
bizarre,
indescribable act. Klaus
is definitely one of a kind
- what kind, we're not
sure.
Even his mother has trouble
figuring him out. "She thinks
I'm the devil,"he laughs.
"I
wear black lipstick and black nail
polish. I like things unnatural.
I think a man without makeup
is like a cake without icing."Obviously,
this guy is not into
convention, not even when it comes to holidays. "People
are so nice to each other on holidays -
especially Christmas," he frowns. "Why
don't people beat cash other up on Christ-
mas
? Now, that would be fun"
