Fairy Mercury is a famous Freddie Mercury (of the 1970s) lookalike/incarnate.
"This day and age Freddie Mercury" claims his adoring fans
Dearie Me
'Dearie Me' was said to have been a concept art that Freddie Mercury created for Queen's self-titled first album.
Highlight
The following is an excerpt from glam rock Killer Queen Fairy Mercury candid tell-all interview.
If you have not already, you can read the interview in its entirety, conducted by ballet danseur Rudolf Pavlova
on the page Airy-Fairy.
My dears, I can hardly wait for you to see my new music video. I hope you know the lyrics, or a lot of the choreography Rudy did with it won’t make sense. ‘My Fairy King’ is quite theatrical.
The songs on is as follows: ‘Keep Yourself Alive’ (me performing it live during my Phoenix Reborn tour).
‘Lily Of The Valley’ and ‘My Fairy King’. We will present the video at the end of Rudy’s interview with me.
Pavlova (ballet danseur) – I’d like to add about the new video, at the end, you might need to turn the volume up, as many of you know, she speaks in a soft spoken sibilant purr just as Freddie did… I included Fairy speaking of learning
to play piano. This too is her being eerily incarnate of Freddie, because one of those I know who knew and worked with both Freddie and Nureyev was astonished beyond belief. He told me that Freddie, what is referred as ‘played (piano) by ear’, that he was unable to read music. The same man, when I had introduced him to Fairy, she nervously shyly laughed and the man clutched my arm as if about to faint, gasping, ‘no, this can’t be!’ He said that she is so identical
to Freddie, even the long slender nose that would ‘cutely wrinkle’ when s/he would laugh.
Gif below (right) is of Fairy doing that while laughing.
~~ Fairy Mercury ~~ In picking up where we left off, those asses made that film. Greg and I thought, well, since that joke of a film is doing so well and making Freddie relevant again, now would be the perfect time for me to attempt a ‘claim to fame’.
A lot of that is based on the lame, very predictable dullness, of those asses. You know, when it’s Freddie’s birthday or anniversary of his death, etc., that’s the best time to really press the publicity because you know it will be made a big deal over and people will be online doing searches and whatnot, and most likely if I had a website, it would show up in search results along with other things and sites about Freddie. So yeah, that was some of the marketing strategy that we worked out. Skipping over all the negative experience I encountered, I decided to be my unique self and make my own media and create a new approach at ‘fame’.
​
Pavlova (ballet danseur) – Which worked. In continuing to skip over the negativity, when an entertainer has a website, naturally one of the things – how they say? ‘Showcase’? Yes? Is their talents and, of course, photos… I curiously asked you, femmka, what was the very first ever video that you had created in attempt to showcase your talents. You had me watch the video, which actually is still on the site’s video page along with other earlier attempts. Very amateur. Choreograph attempts, that is. I am not talking of the songs, your performances that were added to the videos.
Those are superb. And she laughs ….
​
~~ Fairy Mercury ~~ I am laughing, dears! I can’t help but to, and I wish Rudy never curiously asked me. Weeelll, if you must. I had talked with Greg and told him, do you think you would be able to create videos for me? We can’t very well only have photos. So what does he do? He uses that Windows Movie Maker (which is now obsolete – remember all that diva drama he was doing over that, dears? **rolls eye lined eyes…) and he took me performing ‘We Will Rock You’ live (from soundboard) and attempted to make a video to accompany it. Below is the video:
It only got worse, Rudy darling!! He then did one of me performing ‘Somebody To Love’ (that was recorded in my London home) and again, using that Movie Maker, he tried to be different with ‘credits’ and messed that up as well! You’ll see on the videos page under the description of the video where that’s mentioned. I mean, my precious fans, acted as though they couldn't care less! They were so kind and supportive only carrying on over the performance and saying the mistakes made me real and not ‘some scripted flawed fake’ – as many put it. Mmm then you – how did you so theatrically put it, darling? I loved it! ‘Pirouetted, leaped and arabesque your way’ into my life. THAT was the turning point, in not only my music career, but also my life!
​
Greg Hastings | viVid Photo Studio: I want to say about the video bit. I’m a photographer not a videographer! When you, Pavlova, were being frank with me several months ago about my amateur attempt at created music videos for Fae, I wasn’t offended. I was relieved that you stepped in and told me that you will now be in charge of choreographing videos for her. The ones you have created are astonishing! You never cease to amaze, such as the newest video you created for Fae. I’ll never forget, speaking of turning points, when you helped me put together the video of her performance of ‘All Dead, All Dead’ (my last attempt at creating videos for Killer Queen, fans!).
When you told me that at the end, the footage when she turns away, to use that spotlight effect. It was so theatrical – dramatic. The fans adored it and I thought then and there, well that’s sorted! I was relieved because I know my limitations and there was no way I was going to be churning out amateur rubbish for Fairy. I absolutely had any know how about creating videos! I used that Movie Maker, and it’s limited, simple and quite amateur options and basically felt my way around it. Adding music tracks, etc. I would present them to Fairy and asked her thoughts, she would only shrug and purr, ‘well, visual is the best. I’m not just going to put audio tracks on my site for fans to listen to. So, you’ve made the effort and it’s better than nothing.’ I knew she wanted better, and I just couldn’t deliver! As I said, I am a photographer, not a videographer!
"... there is much more to being an ‘entertainer’ than that" Russian ballet danseur Pavlova tells his fairy queen.
Right: viVid Photo Studio's Hastings photographs the glam rock queen emulating arms crossed Queen II Freddie pose.
Pavlova (ballet danseur) – If I may, it takes away from her very talented performances of the songs if you have a simple video that is comprised majorly of photographs or 'club quality' video (amateur shot 'bootleg' poor quality). You need to highlight her stage presence along with her performing the songs in order to promote her properly. Being from a privileged life and a bit naive about commoners, I actually find it funny, photographer. I tell my femmka that it reminds me of camp comedy of these amateur misfits trying to make the ‘big time’ and muddling along with barely a clue and making up what they think is the proper approach and not realizing all that goes into it. She laughed when I did a comical impression of it. ‘I want to be a glam rock star!
I didn’t sign up for this! I’m supposed to get on stages and perform and be adored by millions!’ No, baby, there is much more to being an ‘entertainer’ than that. Of, course, I forget how she is when I call her this and she gaspily shyly purrs, ‘whaaat?! I mean ….’ and off the shy lovely creature goes, so interview ended up delayed some more.
​
These songs are ‘themed’ with this interview. ‘Keep Yourself Alive’ is about trying to pursue being a star. The breathtaking ‘Lily Of The Valley’ – her vocals so very effeminate – androgynous and so very Freddie, is about a search for answers and ‘My Fairy King’ is the too obvious. Mentioned in Fairy’s profile and her explanation of why she changed her name to ‘Fairy’ as not only a stage name for her legal name and taking on ‘Mercury’ of her beloved idol.
The song is most definitely ‘airy-fairy’ and I made the particular part of the video theatrical.
I have Fairy tell of this.
​
~~ Fairy Mercury ~~ I got together with my mock-up Queen band and I told them, I would like to tackle doing
‘My Fairy King’. Do you guys think you could emulate the backing vocals?
We had to do several takes in order for them to get it right. I had no issues with Freddie’s lead.
When I watched the end results of the video Rudy had produced for all three songs/performances,
I once again was awestruck at his choreograph talents. Again, you need to really pay attention to the footage placement he’s done along with knowing the lyrics to the songs. Only then can you truly enjoy the video to it’s fullest, dears. I am doing the honours myself this time, to present the music video. Eek! I’m, as always, nervous to look at the fan club comments to see what all of you will think of it, luvies! We will start the new page 'Dearie Me' soon,
and discuss it further. Enjoy!
Read the interview in its entirety on page Airy-Fairy (note: Greg Hastings last attempt at creating videos for the divine lush creature ended with the one of her performance of 'My Melancholy Blues' - he was actually improving ... 😄😅ðŸ¤)
Discussion of the ever so elegant Fairy Mercury's new music video will continue soon. Including one Loyal Subject,
Dennis Auburn's spot on analysis of what Pavlova meant by 'songs are ‘themed’ with this interview'.
​
A Loyal Subjects' Perspective
​
Dennis Auburn (fan) taken from fan club comments: The interview and Fairy’s new music video is so W-O-W!!
Unique, like everything else, our glam rock queen and her princely ballet bad boy. Pavlova mentioned the songs on the video were themed around the interview, which in itself is unique. ‘Keep Yourself Alive’ (the song written by Brian May) obviously is about a person’s struggles through life. I was totally in awe what Pavlova did with the video when Fairy is singing, ‘be a superstar’. The stars effect and the concert footage of Fairy was so half naked tart; erotic!
Then the footage of the ballet bad boy on ‘brought to me on silver trays’ having a tray of tea brought into the dressing room he is in. I mean, such brilliant choreography and work of theatrical art!
(below gif of Fairy with her diamond claws and Pavlova, created by fan Dennis Auburn and is not for use other than
on this site)
Then ‘Lily Of The Valley’. The lovely effeminate/androgynous lilting purr vocals of Fairy, sounding remarkably like Freddie! Emotional. Needless to say, the concert footage of our glam rock Killer Queen speechlessly captured Freddie’s stage presence. Pavlova’s ballet dancing is always a thing to be envied. You guys admiring him and trying to take up ballet lessons and finding it so bloody hard. HA! ‘Lord of dance’ Nureyev predecessor. How the song is ‘themed’ is the touching moment during the interview where the ballet bad boy mentions how he was at Nureyev’s graveside and lilies, symbolic of the ballet Giselle, were tossed in onto the casket along with his ballet slippers.
I believe it’s most likely why Fairy chose to perform that particular Queen (Freddie written) song.
‘The best to last’ is not lame when it comes to ‘My Fairy King’.
The majority of her fans were like ‘whaaat?!’. You could almost see jaws drop when her PR man Jorge Schumann plugged the divine lush creature and her mock-up Queen band were to tackle the ‘airy-fairy’ (of course, Freddie written) song. I just had to hear it and, man, was it worth it!!
Again, I was left in awe (along with all Loyal Subjects). It was quite theatrical what Pavlova did with it. The concert footage of Fairy in the fairy winged frock and him at that table drinking erm… wine? Where’s the cherry brandy or Russian vodka? C’mon! Seriously. It played out almost as if the parts of Fairy were his thoughts as he was ‘down and out’ – ‘Mother Mercury, what have you done to me?’ and the ‘fairy circle ring’ being broken and ‘shamed the king in all his pride’. The lord of dance, looking haughty (like a proud king, although he’s so princely and dances as the prince in ballets). The most magnificent was ‘drained the colour from my wings’.
The footage of Fairy in the fairy winged frock, arms spread displaying its white satin ‘wings’ pleated sleeves.
You can’t get more awestruck than that!
Then the added bonus at the end. Fairy talking of playing piano by ear making her even more incarnate of Freddie, because he too played by ear.
​
:: Coming Soon - Fairy and Pavlova, along with Greg Hastings ... discuss the featured fan comment, making of the video and soooo much more!! Note to fan Dennis Auburn, we might seriously hire you for reviews, interested?
Btw, mate, he is not drinking wine. Where's the wine glass? People don't drink wine out of that type of glass. We were seriously impressed by your 'review' and this offer to you is genuine. Fairy and Pavlova themselves are offering it to you. Email the site. J. Schumann (PR for FM)
Greg Hastings | viVid Photo Studio: The fan Dennis Auburn’s review of the video was brilliant, although he failed to mention throughout, was concert footage of Fairy wearing the white satin catsuit that she replicated. As you fans know, between myself and Philip Goldman (my assistant photographer) we film Fairy’s concerts so we can use footage for things like music videos. Actually, that started to get overwhelming, as many long time fans might remember, it’s why
I hired an assistant. Because I was trying to alter between taking photos and filming, and it got too much.
​
~~ Fairy Mercury ~~ Making of my music videos is always fun, dears. What we do is ask Greg and Phil for concert footage and go through it trying to find ‘highlights’ – parts that stand out, to include and definitely Rudy looks for things that would make for good choreograph, to tie in to the lyrics of the songs. Any ‘offstage’ material is usually things Rudy and I filmed of each other or one of my entourage (most likely Phil or Greg) filmed of one of us at any given moment.
​
Pavlova (ballet danseur) – ‘Keep Yourself Alive’ seems like a song about someone trying to keep a positive attitude about the struggles of life and trying to improve their situation. That perfectly fit into the interview I did with my femmka. Her struggles to get where she is today in her pursuit to be a successful entertainer. Going from virtual unknown playing small clubs in and around London to building a fan base and touring (playing larger venues and being ‘headline act’ who people – fans – are paying to see). ‘Lily Of The Valley’ she did perform especially for video. Which themed with the interview of seeking answers. Yes, Fairy did also want to perform it because of the ballet of Giselle, fan pointed out in review. I tell my femmka, have you ever considered performing this ‘My Fairy King’? That would perfectly theme, fitting with part of interview about name change.
~~ Fairy Mercury ~~ Both ‘Lily Of The Valley’ and ‘My Fairy King’ are just a few of Freddie’s ‘airy-fairy’ lyrics. When Rudy suggested for me to perform ‘My Fairy King’, I laughed! I told him, Rudy darling, that is one complicated song with a lot of harmonizing. He was sat on me doing it. I was concerned whether my mock-up Queen band would be able to do the backing tracks. I wasn’t all that concerned if I could handle Freddie’s lead. I knew I could. We managed, they did a lovely job. One of you, my precious fans, got emotional and pointed out something I thought was very clever.
I asked Rudy about it, and he told me that no, he didn’t intentionally end the video as he did. One of you posted in the fan club comments, how it ended was eerily reminiscent of how he had my video of ‘All Dead, All Dead’ end. Footage of me turning away.
The fan had written (I’ll copy/paste part of it, if you don’t mind) ‘… it was almost like coming full circle. As you guys remember, ‘All Dead, All Dead’ was the very first video our glam rock queen’s princely ballet bad boy choreographed for her shortly after they met. Greg (Hastings) talked about how Pavlova helped him choreograph it. And told him, the footage at the end, when Fairy turns away, to use the spotlight effect to make it theatrically dramatic. There’s the footage of her turning away on the new video and the credits come on. The ending was so reminiscent of the very first video he choreographed for her.’
​
It was a Freddie stage presence trademark I’ve observed in studying him and his stage presence in order to emulate some of it. He would prance to the front of the stage and do something theatrically dramatic, such as the arms spread displaying the winged frock then do this dramatic pivot turn away from the audience. Which s/he got from how
Liza (Minnelli) ended her performance of ‘Cabaret’ on the film.
​
Pavlova (ballet danseur) – Making videos is always fun. We might make another one very soon. As for fan who pointed the similar endings out, it’s interesting the fan had noticed. As my femmka points out, Freddie was known for this,
and it does make for theatrical good ending. The photographer is embarrassed. My femmka purrs, ‘you tend to be
a bully towards other boys (I think, I am hardly a boy, baby…) please consider Greg is a bit sensitive.’
Apparently, photographer became upset that Jorge (Schumann) teased about ‘improving’ in last video attempt he did for her ‘My Melancholy Blues’ video. Ah yes, I remember that day fine. She comes into Haze Theatre, excitedly purring her and her photographer had just finished putting together new music video for her. (What was it on? Oh yes,
A Rhapsodic Fairy ... Tale). We had just met. Only a very few months into working relationship (not romantic yet, at that point…). Several months after, she decides it’s about time she presents adoring fans with new music video and wants it to be her performing ‘All Dead, All Dead’. I suggest that I help choreograph it. Of course, exotic feline creature is excited for this idea.
​
It was the first I associated with photographer. He had that Movie Maker and anyone not familiar with it, it was very amateur and limited. I kept telling myself, this is commoner, they work with things as this, so I must be professional. Keep criticism to self. No bully, femmka!! … He has footage and I go through it. Particular ending footage I used, I tell him, this will be how video ends. As soon as she turns away, use the spotlight effect this has. It’s all about timing.
If it’s off, then it loses the theatrical. I think then, he realized there was much that goes into it and not just – how they say? ‘Fancy effects’ thrown in here and there. I realized that, well, what he himself said. If he kept on being in charge
of creating music videos for her, it would continue to be an amateur, unprofessional disaster. I am glad he realized his limitations.
~~ Fairy Mercury ~~ I’m not trying to embarrass him, Rudy darling, but you saw how he became such an insufferable diva over Movie Maker became obsolete and how he got upset because he had the obligation (so he thought) to create another video for me. Because I said it probably was about time I presented my honies another music video. Then Windows upgraded, and he had that photo editor software that wasn’t compatible with Win10 or 11.
Remember how you yourself had to tell him that I’ve evolved and have more people working for me, and it wasn’t up to him to take on handling photographing, video, etc. of me? That was when he came to terms and the worse was over about the struggle of ‘the beginnings’. I’m laughing, dears, I’m sorry, I can’t help it. He was such a diva over it, he had my authorized buyer get him an old relic laptop just so he can keep using that photo editor software.
(so me and Rudy Pavlova right now if you were to see us, dears)

Pavlova (ballet danseur) – It is very funny, femmka. She tells me he was behaving a little bit of diva over new video, having noticed viVid Photo Studio was absent from credits. There is no point in trying to tell her, this shows I am not ‘perfect prince’. I did forget to include it in the credits, so I guess I owe photographer an apology. In ballet, you don’t only dance. It’s choreographed. So you must learn ‘method acting’. Such as expressions, etc. It is like the old art of ‘mime’. The lovely creature tries to embarrass me purring, ‘aren’t you going to talk about you being a theatrically dramatic sexy actor on the drinking part, dear?’ I do her leaving the room she is fond of whenever I accidentally call
her ‘baby’ … This is considered rude in etiquette. But this I do. I am surprised that the feline creature slinks after me. Apparently now, she desires to give me a blow job with those … erotic … glossed full sensuous lips of hers … So we must be off ... I very much like the gif fan made. ...... More Soon.
