Have you ever been that person who can’t decide what to wear, have a bit of a panic and decide not to go?! I have and I don’t mind admitting it. Mind you, nowadays I throw caution to the wind and brave it, though I confess I really love getting a look together, day or night, I just can’t help myself!
We’re getting some looks on this weekend, as there’s a lot of club occasions to cause a sensation at. Homostash (Papi Edition) is back at the Dalston Superstore on Friday 9th. I DJed up there last month and they positively encourage some facial adornment (real or otherwise), so much so they’ve got a stash of stache’s to take your pick from. Anyway, guest DJ Chicetol (BCN) is around and ready for action with Tafkanik, Ted Rodgers, Pavline, Carly Foxx and Attack Attack Attack.
At Meat (the international pinup zine) at The Royal Vauxhall Tavern on Friday 9th, the boys celebrate with an evening featuring world-renowned performer star Ashley Ryder and drag terrorist Robert ‘Ninebob’ Beach, along with special guest DJ Severino from Horse Meat Disco joining residents until 4am.
One of my favourite places to go, that happens to be a local as well, is The Glory. They’ve so much going on every night of the week more or less. On Saturday 10th September, it’s show time with Maybe Baby ‘Far From Paradise’. This performance collective are whisking us away for an end of summer getaway starring Shay Shay, Lasana Shabaz, Bopa Rhys, Hungry, Robert Hesp and Just May. The show starts at 7pm. The Glory opens at 5pm but wait! OMG! What a treat dears! I hear Christeene’s Kamikaze Karaoke is on at The Glory… Glory Late’s in the basement from 10pm on the 10th as well. What is it? I hear you ask. After her Soho Theatre show, Christeene will be tearing downtown, grabbing the microphone with Jonny Woo and Aaron Manhattan and indulging themselves and us with some guilty pleasures. On ‘til 2am!
The Fringe! Queer Film & Arts Fest are having a fundraiser this Saturday 10th down at the Ace Hotel’s basement Miranda Bar. For a minimum donation of a fiver, a full evening of nonstop entertainment is planned. From 10pm, get a sneak peak of what Fringe! 2016 have planned, then there’ll be performance from Naked Queers Reading, A Vogue Showcase with the founders of English Breakfast – Jay Jay Revlon and Sydney UltraOmni. There’s a raffle with loads of prizes and DJs all night until 3am, including Matt Smith, Panos Z, Sanjay and Jo Pulford. All for a good cause!
