She-Laas land for Club Italia gig

By Luke Voogt

The She-Laas will bust out the beehives when they bring their ’60s-themed extravaganza to Geelong for the first time this weekend.
The cover group features three very different sisters: Rayleene (Jennifer Lee), Dianna (Margaret Dennis) and Wanda (Marion Fay).
“It’s loosely based on Keeping Up Appearances,” Fay explained.
“You’ve got the snobby one, the man hunter one and in our version we’ve got an ocker one.”
The 59-year-old looked forward to transporting the audience back to the ’60s with a few laughs along the way.
“It’s great – you get to be somebody else on stage.”
The show could even include an opportunity for an “eligible bachelor” to win Wanda’s hand in marriage to the tune of Chapel of Love.
“Wanda’s desperately looking for Mr Right but Mr Right Now will do,” Fay laughed.
“She’s been married seven times but she’s still optimistic she will find her perfect man.”
The three performers met on the pub covers seen 30 years ago but waited two decades before forming the She-Laas.
“I just rang the girls 10 years ago and said, ‘What do you think?”
Even after a decade the act was still heaps of fun, Fay said.
“I think I’ve got the best job in the world.”
The She-Laas will hit the stage with new show Oh No My Boyfriend’s Back at Club Italia on Saturday night.
