Lady Zorro: An In-Depth Look

This post from Wonkette about an article in The Seattle Weekly reminded me of something John Waters said, but to get you up to date…

The Martin/Mitchell case has been used as the definitive proof that gays will betray their country given the first opportunity, which is why the NSA purged a bunch of “perverted” employees and “revamped employment-screening and in-house security practices” to ensure that the only queen working for American intelligence and law enforcement would remain J. Edgar Hoover.

In fact, Martin and Mitchell were both red-blooded all-American lady-lovers. They would’ve fit in perfectly in the modern-day Republican party!

But then they apparently did have personal secrets to protect, NSA investigators found. One of Martin’s regular companions was a Baltimore stripper known as Lady Zorro; she told investigators she had as many as 40 “dates” with the mathematician, who always paid in large amounts of cash. A source described Martin as “totally devoted to his all-controlling sadomasochism”…

John Waters, the eccentric filmmaker, has been touring the country doing stand-up for college campuses and other venues, and he mentions the same Lady Zorro…

“…Divine and I would go to The Block to see Lady Zorro, a stripper who looked like Johnny Cash.”¹

Having seen the act I remember Waters talked about Zorro’s vaudevillian routine in which she would walk out on stage totally nude (no stripping involved), and would scream at the audience, “What are you looking at?!?” Because of the name, location and occupational similarities, there’s a very good chance this is the same Lady Zorro. What a woman.
