This week on Bullseye, we are talking to Bob Mackie in his own spectacular house!
Also known as “Sultan of Sequins” or the “Baron of Beads”, Bob Mackie has made a career by dressing great personalities in kinetic and sparkling costume. Artists like Madonna, Miley Cyrus, Tina Turner, Bette Midler, Elton John, Lucile Ball, Carol Burnett and Barbie – literally the Barbie doll – were all completed by an emblematic outfit of Bob Mackie. He did it as a designer in the real world and a award -winning costume artist for the scene and the screen.
Maybe you watch Ru Paul’s Dragsters’ race? He was the very first guest judge of the show, and the first person to receive the Drag Race “Office US Lifetime Achievement Award”.
