It's a Supreme come back!
A friend of a friend caught the eye of the 'star act' performing as Diana Ross at a recent hotel publicity event to celebrate the start of Wimbledon.... so got pulled on stage to act as one of the Supremes!!
So, camera phone in hand I record the event (for historical/cultural purposes of course!), and risk being assaulted the next time I see her by sharing it with the world!!
Give it up please, for the lady in red :)
If anyone can rotate this around 90 degrees I'd really appreciate it!

US man loses $54m trousers claim
I just had to record this one for posterity having put a smile on my face at the end of the first working day of the week!
A US judge has lost a $54m (£27m) claim against a South Korean dry-cleaning firm which lost a pair of his trousers.
By refusing to pay him $1,000 (£500) after losing his trousers, they failed to honour a pledge to provide "Satisfaction Guaranteed"
But a Washington judge dismissed the case... awarding the cleaners costs.
...the case, which has dragged on for two years and involved thousands of hours of legal investigative work
...case began in 2005 when Mr Pearson took several suits to his local dry-cleaner's in Washington to have some alterations made.
When he returned two days later, a pair of trousers was missing.
His multimillion dollar calculations for damages included the 1,400 hours he says he spent preparing the case.
According to the Washington Post, he also added the cost of hiring a car every weekend to enable him to drive to an alternative dry-cleaner's for the next 10 years.
From the BBC News website, some selected highlights of the story :
