Gay Bob is a doll created in 1977 and billed as the world’s first openly gay doll. Creator Rosenberg described the doll as resembling a cross between Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Bob is anatomically correct.
The all-caps setting is horrendous, but this may be the best use of Tango ever.
Great contribution! I always wondered wether the Gay Bob doll Frank Zappa sings about in Sy Borg on his Album Joe’s Garage from 1979 relates to a character in real life. It seems it does. Thank you for sharing this!
