Hot Web site

A tribute "to the glitter, the glitz, and the camp of America's most flamboyant of entertainers," Bob's World of Liberace honors Mr. Showmanship with an over-the-top lavishment of Web excess. Follow the year-by-year guide to Liberace's life and career, skip through tours of six houses, and ogle the costumes (yes, that's a 16-foot train on the white llama-fur coat). The Webmaster, who even sets the site's awards in elaborate gold frames, explains that he started the site to showcase Liberace's custom-designed Christmas cards, but "much like one of Liberace's costumes, once I got started, it just got out of hand."
