St. Louis has Becky, the Queen of Carpets. Along with some really awful hometown advertising of her, a very big girl, wearing a crown while riding a flying carpet past various local landmarks. I did not know that here in the 21st Century somebody could produce a special effect that bad.

I tried to find a cite, but she’s not _quite_ prominent enough to be on YouTube.

That’s her exactly; Queen Becky in all her Glory! Well done. As corny as only a hometown ad can be. Between her and Princess Wanda, I hope that carpet has a _very_ strong magic buoyancy engine to keep it aloft.

As to my searching failures, I’d originally remembered her as “Becky the queen of mattresses”. And when I was searching for that, “queen” + mattress was a total red herring that utterly confused YouTube’s search engine. After all, every ad for a mattress store includes the fact that they sell queen-sized mattresses.

Then I could not persuade YouTube to stop showing me hundreds of pages of mattress ads. Queen Becky was probably somewhere on page 37 of the results, but I never clicked that far.

There might be room for her on British TV. Ever since [La Pracatan](https://youtu.be/VMOWwg_IoAw) went to join the Great Keyboard in the Sky and [Eddy Wally](https://youtu.be/wCeeSIqD7_A) hung up the hair-dye, there’s been a gap.

PJ O’Rourke wrote of the King of Sandusky, Ohio.

“Fargo” begins in an upstanding establishment known as the King of Clubs.

Run-DMC were the true Kings of Rock.

Eddie Feigner was the King in the King And His Court.

Forgot about him. Got to see him pitch once. IIRC it was a 4 man team, pitcher, catcher, and 2 fielders, against 10. After a few innings they took a huge lead. Nobody could hit Eddie’s stuff.
