We don’t know a vast amount
about these things, but we’re
assuming that being Head
of Digital Policies for the Taiwanese government, is some
serious shit. You probably
have to sign thousands of
confidentiality agreements,
and it PROBABLY wouldn’t be
a good idea to look at porn at
work. Anyway, they’ve chosen
their latest as transgender
software engineer Audrey
Tang. It shouldn’t be a big
deal when transgender people are appointed high-profile
jobs, but unfortunately it still
is, so here we are reporting it.
Good luck, Aud!

Study finds bi
guys are better
at sex with
women than
straight guys
It’s not much of a
surprise is it. There’s
very little that
straight men are
good at, apart from
spitting and football.
And it makes total
sense that, having
presumably had sex
with both genders,
bisexual men would
be more in tune
with sex and sexuality in general. In
a study conducted
in Australia, with 78
women who’d been
in relationships with
bisexual men, ALL
of the women said
they were better at
sex than straight
men. They also said
they’d make better
fathers.

“Is this newsworthy”. THAT’S WHAT YOU JUST
SAID ISN’T IT. Well, when you’re writing for
QX, you can decide what’s newsworthy and
what’s not. Until then…Ariana Grande has
released a music video for Side To Side, her
sultry, summery number featuring Nicki Minaj.
It involves lots of naked men and a sauna. It’s
amazing, and so is Ariana Grande. That’s all.

Introducing…
Cazeleon
QX meets Cazeleon,
the beguilingly beautiful
rising star of London’s
cabaret scene.
Photos by Victor Hensel-Coe
Hey Cazealeon! Tell us about yourself. You’re from Australia
right?
Yes, I hail from the beautiful artistic city of Melbourne in Australia! I’m
a 26-year-old actor, singer and dancer who loves being by the beach
and pancakes for breakfast! I moved to London nine months ago and
have been on this crazy journey of self-discovery since I landed.
What do you make of London?
I’ve fallen head over heels in love with London! It was a bit daunting at
first. It’s such a big, fast-paced city, and has this rush and energy that
you just don’t get in Australia.
Do you like the gay scene?
I do! I find the scene here very diverse and exciting. I love seeing the
younger generation of kids going all out with their looks and concepts
and not being afraid to express who they are. It’s been very inspiring
for me, and has helped me grow more comfortable with doing that
myself.
What’s your beverage of choice?
I’m a whiskey on the rocks type of guy.
Lots of our readers will be interested to know, who would be
your ideal man? (Or woman! Or person!)
Haha! Well I always think that if a person can genuinely make you
laugh and smile from ear to ear, then that’s a great starting point. I
think my ideal partner would be one that can communicate openly with
me about all aspects of our relationship. And someone who’s adventurous.
Who or what is your look inspired by?
My background is in theatre, and I’ve got a very strong old classic aesthetic to my look. I’d say I’m inspired by my great idols of the stage and
screen, like Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minelli, Sophia Loren, Julie Andrews
in Victor Victoria, Allan Cumming, and also an amazing Australian
cabaret artist called Iota.
If you could invite any three celebrities, living or dead, to a
soiree, who would it be and why?
Judy Garland, Meryl Streep and Bob Fosse. They’re three people I’ve
always looked up to and loved. Also I think I could learn a hell of a lot
from three legendary and game changing people.
What’s been the best moment of your life EVER?
When I’m on stage or on screen in my element, doing what I was put
here to do. A career
highlight would have
to be working with
one of Australia’s best
directors on a film I did
a year or so ago. That
experience will always
be with me.
You’re doing a show
on Sunday, tell us a
little about that.
Yes I am! I’m very
humbled to have been
asked to come along
as Vanity von Glow’s
guest at The Phoenix
Artist Club this Sunday
the 4th of September.
I’ll be doing a collection of songs from a
cabaret competition I
just recently won, as
well as a classic duet or
two with the incomparable Vanity von Glow.
Finally, what would
be your advice to
young queer people
starting out in life?
Even if you’ve gone through hardship
and feel like you don’t belong, have
faith that there’s always a place for you
in this world. The older you get, the
more you attract the right kind of friends
and energy that matches yours. Never
be afraid to express your authentic self
and live passionately, as we’re all only
here for a short time.
Cazeleon is
performing at The
Phoenix Artist Club
on Sunday 4th
September from
8:30pm. 1 Phoenix
Street, WC2H 8BU.

QX_1120_Nadya Ginsburg.indd 6
30/08/2016 18:05
American comedian Nadya Ginsburg is one of us.
By which we mean she’s always in gay clubs, she’s familiar with passing out
in public parks, and she regularly pretends she’s Madonna.
In fact, her Madonna impersonation is legendary, and has become a
cult hit on both sides of the pond (partly because we always insist
on putting it on YouTube at house parties in Bethnal Green).
But making fun of Madonna is more of a side-project.
Nadya is a full time, respected comedian has been involved in some iconic stuff in the
industry - she’s been a judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race, she’s written for Joan Rivers,
and she’s just guest starred on CBS’ 2 Broke Girls.
She chatted to Dylan Jones about eating ass, jumping on Justin Bieber,
and paying outrageous homage to Madge.
Nadya Ginsburg! You’re currently being interviewed
by London’s PREMIER gay magazine! How do you feel
about that?
Tingly in the premier gay places, whilst pulsating with Velvet
Rage.
For readers who don’t know you, sum yourself up in a
Madonna lyric.
Jimmy Jimmy, Oh Jimmy Jimmy!
Speaking of Madonna, we love your impersonation of
her so much. Tell us how it came
into being.
There’s a great old vaudeville quote
by John Royle – “Vaudeville may be
a kind of lunch - counter art, but
then art is so vague and lunch is so
real.” I am a comedic actress with a
bunch of characters and impressions
in my bag. Madonna is just the one
most likely to pay for lunch. She’s
fun to embody because she is equal
parts entertaining and confounding
so never a bore. I hope she keeps
flashing her punk rock pussy until the
grass-fed cows come home.
Our favourite line is when you
talk about pleasuring yourself
with an iPad. Was that based on
an actual thing that happened?
Never but I am sitting on my cell
phone and group texting myself as
we speak.
Has Madonna seen your videos?
If so, what did she think? (If not,
what do you think she’d say?)
She actually has lifted material from
a few of my videos, specifically a joke
she did on Jimmy Fallon from Episode
3 of Madonnalogues when trying to
do stand up, which I had her do in Episode 6 and members
from the insider Gay Hair and Make Up Mafia have confirmed
it, but who knows? If she is I am flattered and she should hire
me to write some better material for her, GUUUURL.
Right, enough about Madonna, tell us about YOU!
What’s your favourite thing to do? Like, ever?
Not worry about paying my rent. I am a material girl.
Who would play your long-suffering life partner in a
movie? (You’re not allowed Julianne Moore)
Mel Brooks
Have you ever been on one of those massive
inflatable pool swans like the one Justin Bieber has?
Yes but I don’t appreciate you talking about my dear
grandmother that way.
Have you ever been on Justin Bieber?
Yes! Five years ago while writing
at my corner coffee shop I spotted
him walking into a tattoo parlor and
snapped this pic, after which we made
vigorous love on a skateboard while
he peed in a bucket and a monkey
watched but there was no kissing on
the mouth.
The weather’s gorgeous here
and we’ve been having a lot of
gay picnics lately. What’s your
favourite thing to eat on a gay
picnic?
Besides ass? That’s a tough one.
I will say gay picnics are the best
because no-one parties like the
oppressed. Also, gay men and women
are bonded by our mutual body
dysmorphic disorder and shame, but
together we form a competition-free
oasis where we can freely shit and
shame on others so WERK! Pass the
ASS!
Where do you live? What’s your
house like?
I reside on the East Side of The City
of Silicone and Saline Angels in the
oh-so-tragically hip Silverlake, the
original old Hollywood. My home
is the former apartment of my dear friend, drag legend
Jackie Beat, who TranMothered it to me. It’s a two bedroom
with a backyard and is furnished with an assortment of
dragon skulls, monkeys, naked photos of starlets, feather
headdresses and more monkeys. I call it shabby, jungle,
voodoo, showbiz chic.

ARE THE
BEST,

NO-ONE

OPPRESSED”

Tell us what you think about American politics
at the moment.
Trump has done something very important, though
painful. He ripped off the band aid of hypocrisy in
American society that pretends that slavery never
happened and that no matter how many generations
of immigrants come to this country to add their blood
sweat and tears to its fabric, there is a white segment of
the population that is racist. I take solace in the fact that
it will be women, blacks and hispanics who will go to the
polls and ensure his defeat. Of course it is sad that he
has gathered such steam, but I take solace in the fact
that impotent rage is the loudest. Also, to paraphrase
my beloved Obama, not bad to be living in a time
where a woman and a Socialist Jew were the Democrats
angling to replace a the son of a white single mother
and a Kenyan father. Even if the GOP nominee is a peabrained, morally bankrupt fascist asshole.
Talking of assholes, is there a good gay scene
where you are?
Yes there is, and not just because Mario Diaz of the
documentary Club King (former owner of The Cock in
The East Village and promoter of the parties Big Fat Dick,
Full Frontal Disco and now Bonkerz) is my bestie. There
is a very free, non-conformist, punk rock, don’t-takeyourself-too-seriously vibe, that reminds me of New York
City in the 80s and 90s.
If you could keep a famous gay as a pet, who
would it be?
Tim Gunn from Project Runway, so that whenever I
doubt myself he could calm me by telling me to “listen
to my viscera.”
What’s your favourite Sunday morning
hangover show to watch?
The Housewives of any city.
Ok ONE MORE Madonna question - What’s your
favourite Madonna song?
That’s impossible. Get Into The Groove, Bad Girl and
Like A Prayer. I also enjoyed her latest Holy Water
where she threatens the Vatican to choke on every last
drop of her cum juice. #ifitaintbroke
Which fellow comedians are you most inspired
by?
The entire cast of the Canadian Television Show SCTV –
(Andrea Martin, Martin Short and Catherine O’Hara to
name a few) Gilda Radner, Molly Shannon, Kristin Wiig,
Steven Colbert, Jennifer Saunders, David Chappelle,
Chris Rock, Ricky Gervais. So many icons, but honestly
my showbiz friends Selene Luna, Mario Diaz, Jackie
Beat, Sam Pancake, Drew Droege, Jonny McGovern,
Travis Walck, Muffy Bolding, Calpernia Adams, Alec
Mapa. We keep each other insane and cry and blow
our clown noses on each other’s shoulders.
AND FINALLY…what plans do you have for the
future?
I have a new live show called Insane Clown Pussy which
is a mix of stand up and characters, (less Madonnacentric though she is still featured) and I’m finishing the
writing of Season Two Of Madonnalogues, where I’m
going to incorporate me playing a character more like
myself, and show what my showbiz life is like behind
the mask. I just want to keep writing and performing
and make my way across the pond to entertain you in
person. Also, to rule the world.
Nadya’s show, Insane Clown Pussy, is at
The Cavern Club Theatre at 9pm on
Friday 23rd-Saturday 24th September.
1920 Hyperion Ave, Silverlake, California.

What can we say about XXL that hasn’t been said
already? LOTS ACTUALLY. Did you know, for example,
that it is built on the former location of the Tabard Inn,
from which Chaucer’s pilgrims set off on their journey in
The Canterbury Tales. So there ya go. Now YOU can be
a pilgrim too! You can make a pilgramage to find solace
in house, hairy men and handing yourself a drink from
the bar! XXL needs no introduction, it’s one of the best,
biggest, beariest nights around.

We’re not remotely surprised that The Glory have decided to host a Celi (pronounced
“Gaylee”). It just makes total sense. It’s an Irish party, and they love a theme down at The
Glory. Maybe they’ll redecorate. John Sizzle’s probably already in Bastins stuffing handfuls of
polystyrene shamrocks down his bra. They’ll have guest performances from London’s queer
Irish community, as well as Glory resident Rudi Douglas, who’s far too handsome to be a real
person. Don’t tell him we said that. Jonny Woo will be there too, wearing something green.

“Somehow the
crew behind the
night managed to
make it even more
sweet and even
more special for
this bank holiday
weekend.”
With its unique concoction of the
cheesiest and sweetest tunes (we don’t
recommend you try that one on Mary Berry
though), BABEZ at Bloc Bar up in Camden is
always a special guilty pleasure to be enjoyed
without the slightest moderation. And somehow
the crew behind the night managed to make it
even more sweet and even more special for this
bank holiday weekend. In addition to the delectable tunes of resident DJs Beary Carey and
Dom Top, they had laid out a choice cut for our
thirsty enjoyment. This delightful amuse-gueule
was so yummy that it proved all too much for
one member of the very queer audience, who
decided, we’re told, to set their pubes on fire,
to register their delight, no doubt. As a special guest the team had lined up Celebrity Big
Brother’s Austin Armacost, who was making his
DJ debut with the BABEZ family, spinning all our
old favourites. We nearly reached for the lighter ourselves. In the end we only had one tune
going round in our head: Drop some sugar in
our bowl, babe!

Allhallows Lane, EC4R 3UL
“Saturday, saw
the bar and
main dance-floor
swarming with
their usual thirsty
collection of hot
muscle blokes with
their tops off.”
Words like “extra” and “big” are very much among the various things we’re used to see pass the lips of the
Brüt team. For this Bank Holiday weekend, they had uttered those words and laid out an extra treat. The first
edition of Brüt Wüff, on Saturday, saw the bar and main dance-floor swarming with their usual thirsty collection
of hot muscle blokes with their tops off. The resident DJs normally operating in vault number two with their poppy
tunes had been set free on the decks of the main vault for the night. To help kick-start the weekend’s hedonistic
double-header, a Brüt Beer Blast was in operation early in the night, with cheap booze on tap for all. This extra
night was followed on the Sunday night with Brüt Goes BANG: BANG muscleboys and Brüt bears getting down
and dirty together for the first time. So, space was perhaps slightly reduced but this was all, we felt, very much in
help of going big and… going bang!

Whether you were bouncing to
Beyonce or twerking to TLC, R & SHE
was making an RnB kween out outta

specifically is Trapeze bar in Old Street.
It’s the new home of the night where you
could realistically become injured by the
ferociousness of hair whipping during
Whip My Hair Back and Forth - you’ve
been warned. Keeping the club crunk
were DJ’s Q-Boy, SWYR and MarkAshley Dupé, who mixed track after track
of feminine-flavoured hip-hip, RnB, and
sexy pop realness to bring you one of the
most genuinely dance powered nights
you’ve grooved at in ages. Meanwhile,
the August bank holigay attracted a soul
trainload of queer dancing wildchilds
that could have taught Missy a thing or
two about how to get her freak on! It was
a fabulous night for R & She, where if we
learned nothing else, it was that live fast

While the blood, sweat and tears
of Rio’s Olympiad has drawn to a
close, at least until we do it all again
for the Paralympics, last weekend Orange Nation threw their own games to
test our resolve to clubbing excellence.
First up on Saturday night, WE Party
landed from Madrid for their own
brand of sporting finesse with no less
than a dozen lycra-clad toned bodies
on stage parading their national flags.
On the decks in the main room Steve
Pitron and Matt Bogard were joined by
WE Party superstar DJ SR EDU, while
outside in a balmy arch Paul Coals
and Massimo Paramour played a few
national anthems of their own. As
befitting the scale of this international
behemoth, the crowds were out in
force and the dance floor was a writing
mass of sweaty shirtless muscle and
sinew. Gold medals all round then.

Words by Chris Jepson,
Second out of the Orange
Nation traps on this Olympic
weekend was London’s favourite
weekly afterhours, Beyond. As the
official We Party Olympic Games
afterparty it was always gonna
be a roadblock, but nothing
prepared us for the off-the-scale
hotness of everything about the
club. Fat Tony was ON FIRE in the
main room and gold clad dancers
gyrated within an inch of our
eager mouths, open wide as we
gasped for breath. The packed
dance floors were rammed with
the stuff of dreams as the lights
and pyros exploding overhead
were worthy of a Disney finale
– all that’s needed is a Prince to
come in and sweep this Princess
off her feet – now where the hell
are you? Beyond. Weekly. Major.

Exhibit,
12 Balham Station Road,
SW12 9SG
Words Chris Jepson
Mention DTPM to young clubbers today and you’ll probably
get blank stares back, but to those
of us who have been around it is
shorthand for absolute clubbing
gold. When London was at the
peak of the international club scene
the likes of Trade, DTPM and Crash
were what the rest of the world
aspired to, and we had them right
here on our doorstep every weekend. Fast forward a few years and
good big club parties are few and
far between so it takes something
a bit special to get us excited. Well last weekend we were beside ourselves
for the return of DTPM with ‘Lick My Lollipop’ at the super-swish Exhibit in
Balham. Three rooms, three terraces, a cinema, a garden and some of the
finest deckmeisters ever to grace a CDJ. It was without doubt the freshest
new club to hit town this year. From the friendly warm welcome by security,
to the crowd – a delicious, fun and funky mix of old school clubbers and
new kids on the block, to the atmosphere in every corner of the venue. It
was everything we wanted and more. Never mind Lick My Lollipop – I’d
happily swallow it whole.
“It was without
doubt the
freshest new
club to hit town
this year.”

Words Chris Jepson
No bank holiday weekend would be complete without an Orange finale, and it
being Carnival weekend to boot, last week’s was off the chart. Two rooms full of shiny happy
people grooved away to MisWhite, Chris Barker and Fat Tony under a bunting bedecked ceiling of Orange finery. As the sun came up, the terrace was the place to be, as chilled clubbers
caught some early warming rays and caught up with the weekend gossip before heading back
inside for the hottest upbeat, pumping, summer house and uplifting vocal house to be had.
Last bank holiday of the year, but what a way to go.

The Light Lounge
We’re branching out here in the Raising The Bar section, and
including food markets too! London’s famous for them, and has
been for hundreds of years. And at the moment, Vauxhall Street
Food Garden is one of the best that’s around! It’s a steamily
aromatic labyrinth of gorgeous stalls and food trucks, spanning a
diverse and international spectrum of foods and flavours. They’ve
also joined the fight for London’s nightlife, plagued by recent
limitations on their late drinking hours. Join the cause! (And have an
artisan pulled pork burger while you’re at it).
1 Newport Place, Soho, WC2H 7JR
Perched atop Ku Bar’s Chinatown venue is swanky, clandestine
cocktail bar The Light Lounge. It’s the perfect place to LOUNGE
(get it, we referenced the name) with a frosty margarita or a tart
tanqueray. It’s got comfy seating, great chilled music, and smiley
friendly staff. It’s great for a date actually! Remember dates? People
went on them in the 90s. Don’t miss their happy hour all night on
Tuesdays, with 2 for 1 on selected cocktails.

West 5
It’s the George & Dragon! Nestled in
atmospheric, historic Greenwich. Just a
stone’s throw from the misty alleyways frequented by Dickens, Darwin and…Darius?
#Colourblind. If you haven’t been to the
George, it’s well worth a trip on the DLR. It’s
friendly, welcoming and plays host to some
of the best cabaret acts in the city. This
Friday from 8pm they’ve got Titti La Camp,
notorious for her Feed The Birds act, where
she spits bread out at the audience. Don’t
see that every day do ya.
West 5 is, very inventively, named after its
postcode! Venues named after postcodes
are always good news. Exciting and glamorous events always seem to unfold at
them. West 5 has a great mix of punters; a
mix of local Ealingers, Central London gays,
and hot young students from the uni halls
round the corner. The building’s beautiful
too, an old-style tudor pub that’s been converted into a big camp gay bar! This Friday
from 8pm it’s DELICIOUS, with Sandra,
who’s hilarious and vile in equal measure.
Rupert Street Bar is, unsurprisingly, on
Rupert Street, a bustling tributary of cobbles
and calamity between Soho and Piccadilly.
Rupert Street is a grass-roots, classic gay
bar! They’ve got the chrome bar top,
they’ve got the camp cocktails, they’ve
got the bicepped bar staff, they’ve got
Better The Devil You Know by Kylie on the
soundsystem. It’s a bit of a hub for Soho’s
sohocialites, and is bustling from Monday
to Friday, and even MORE bustling from
Friday to Sunday. Their happy hour is from
midday to 8pm every day.

White Swan’s 31st Birthday

Words & Photos by
Victor Hensel-Coe
Now if you saw our front
cover last week, you might
have noticed that those two cuties
Joe and Jake who represented us
in Eurovision were on the cover.
You may also have noticed they
were the showstopper spectacular of the White Swan’s cracking
31st Birthday! The show they put
on was injecting rocket fuel into
the fabulous bird yet - getting
the crowd singing and dancing
with covers of Zayn, Jonas Blue,
and Walk the Moon before finally
performing their hit You’re Not
Alone. In addition to the beautiful boys were the vocal talents
of Jason Prince and Kelly Wilde,
while outrageous east-end drag
came from Sophie Saunders
who had everyone shouting “you
can’t say that!” through their
tears of laughter. And finally, one
clever man won the special swan
contest, which had him £50 up
at the bar and backstage with
Eurovision starlight. All in all, we
reckon 31st birthdays should now
be called White Swans because
that one was a flapping ball!

the beautiful boys
were the
vocal talents of

The Dame Edna Experience

Photos by zefrographica
Just over a month ago, there were queues around the
block of people hoping to find themselves undergoing Jonathan
Hellyer’s Dame Edna Experience after 3 years of absence. Edna
was back again this weekend for two nights, and again the crowds
came. In a Royal Vauxhall Tavern packed to the rafters, Hellyer
delivered his trademark mix of risqué humour and vocal mastery,
taking the audience on a journey, every step of which they clearly
loved. With support from DJ Simon Le Vans, Hellyer made people
sing along to well-known and cherished old pop songs from Kylie
to Eurythmics or the Buggles, and by the end, stirred by undeniable adulation, the crowd was chanting Edna’s name and the floor
of the venerable pub was literally shaking. As soon as Hellyer left
the stage, most people filed outside for some air and to socialise
with friends in the balmy summer evening, nipping back in from
time to time for a drink and a dance or two. It certainly was an
Experience!

GMFA/RVT Sports Day

Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens,

“The day was
dedicated to such
manly undertakings
as the handbag
toss or competitive
mincing.”
With the Olympics over and the Paralympics not yet started, we felt
we needed our sportsy fix this weekend, so the 10th GMFA/RVT Sports Day
felt like the perfect opportunity to drag ourselves from ogling athletes on TV
and get our sedentary butts to the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens to… well…ogle
the “athletes”. In a refreshing variation from your run-of-the-mill 100 metre or
diving competitions, the day was dedicated to such manly undertakings as the
handbag toss or competitive mincing. The more butch among the participants
could compare their testosterone levels in the tug of war. We were told that this
looked likely to be the most successful event yet, with the funds raised expected to reach somewhere between 12 and £15,000. Under the watchful eye
of bearded drag queen extraordinaire, Timberlina, Edna’s Velvet Flaps were
declared the best fundraiser team (with over £3,000), while the Ziga-Zig-Ahs
won best costume and the Gay Men’s Dancing Club won the sportsing competition. Thanks to the good weather, people came in their hundreds, because we
all love good excuse for a piss up in the sun, particularly when we can claim it’s
for a good cause!

Mandy Gap

Miss Jason
Have you tried out the Night Tube yet? We have. It’s absolute carnage.
And the perfect place to pull. TfL should just hire bouncers and a
DJ and be done with it. Anyway, Night Tube is OFFICIALLY up and
running across several lines already, including the Victoria Line. We
love the Victoria Line. It’s fast, it’s always on time, and it goes to
locations where all the sexiest men are.
One of those locations, is Vauxhall! A hive of homosexual hedonism
if ever there was one. And we say that with love. And guess what’s
in Vauxhall, literally outside the entrance to the station…Counter!
Counter is ambiently illuminated, profferingly polished, and almost
insultingly chic. It’s a New York-style brasserie, with a good dollop
of sexy London grittiness. As well as doing dinner and drinks until
the wee hours, they host burlesque and cabaret nights at their back
bar, BackCOUNTER. A perfect prelude to going clubbing, or even
INSTEAD of going clubbing.
In honour of the arrival of Night Tube, they’ve invented a new
cocktail! We feel like that’s how Carrie Bradshaw would celebrate
things, so we approve. The Vauxhall Interchange cocktail is made with
gin, Southern Comfort, Cointreau, and then a couple of other things
that aren’t alcoholic. They’re open until 1:30am on Fridays, when they
also have chilled purveyor of cool tunes, DJ Chillz. So zoom down on
the Victoria Line and check it out! And then you can zoom straight
back again! No waiting on chilly corners for Ubers!
Counter & BackCounter are at Arch 50,
7 – 11 South Lambeth Road, SW8 1SR.

Ever heard of The Old Ship in Limehouse?
Of course you have! They’re an institution.
Known for their history, their affability, and
their camp catty cabaret!
This Sunday 4th, they’re throwing a big whirling charity shindig in
association with the Albert Kennedy Trust. It’s a cake sale! A bit like a
nice wholesome English village fete affair. Except in East London. With
loads of drag queens. We’re hoping Mary Berry’s gonna show up and
be condescending to everyone. That’d be ace!
The Old Ship and the Albert Kennedy Trust have long been affiliated
with one another, and they’re old pals! Like Jack and Karen. Or Sonny
and Cher. The annual cake sale is now in it’s third year, and they’ve
already raised over £5000.
But it’s not just a cake sale! It’s cake and cabaret! And they’ve rounded
up TEN of the city’s most notorious and hilarious drag queens and
cabaret acts as the perfect sour accompaniment to your sweet treats.
Just some of the acts performing include Mandy Gap, Miss Jason, Dave
Lyn, Cassidy Connors, Saucy Sophie, Bambi Boo and Dr Woof.
So get down there, munch some cake, and guffaw at some cabaret. It’s
all for a good cause!
Cake & Cabaret is on Sunday 4th September at The Old Ship,
17 Barnes Street, E14 7NW. Starts 5pm.

here are times when you and your
friends go on a wild holiday, or
do something daring and crazy,
or just have an epic bitch fest and
you feel like it’d be great on TV;
well that’s what happened when director
Brandon Smithson decided to create a docuseries following the lives of him and his close
friends.
Inner Circle follows the lives, fun, troubles
and rise to fame of Brandon and his close
friends. The docu-series appears for free
online and follows the friends in LA as they
conquer the City of Angels to make their
dreams come true.
The first episode of the series is called ‘Bad
Girl’ and stars trans model Arisce Wanzer.
Arisce rose to fame in the fashion industry
as one of the most sought-after transgender
models, but also as the model who came out
and slammed Kendell Jenner’s complaints
of being bullied during fashion week. In the
episode, she addresses the open letter she
wrote to Kendall Jenner, saying the younger
sister of Kim Kardashian “doesn’t know what
it means to be a real model”.
Arisce declares that she wants to be remembered by everyone, and informs us that “you
don’t die until your name is spoken for the
last time”. She is now set to star in the new
Whoopi Goldberg-produced series Strut,
which follows an ensemble cast of trans
models as they correct the face of the fashion industry, one catwalk and billboard at
a time.
I was lucky enough to snag an interview

I have an incredible
support system of
friends and family.

in the arts (models,
photographers,
performers, etc.)
and are on the cusp
of breaking out in
their field. I wanted to
tell their stories and
show everyone how
amazing they are.

with Brandon Smithson after he published
the second episode of his captivating docuseries. Brandon is a sweet-heart, and the
meeting feels more like a friendly conversation than an interview.
Hey Brandon! Tell me about yourself.
I live in LA and I’m somewhat of a
nerd. When I have downtime, I’m either
playing Street Fighter V on PS4 or out rollerskating with friends.
So what dream are you chasing for
in LA?
The dream is for people to see my fashion
films, docu-series, music videos and say
“Hey, let’s give this guy what he needs and
hire him to create that for us!” As a filmmaker, I’ll be creating art for the rest of my life.
The next step is to reach a wider audience.
So tell me about Inner Circle, which
I’m obsessed with. What inspired you
to do this?
Last year my dear friend and fellow filmmaker, Paloma Valenzuela, created a comedic mini webseries titled “The Pineapple
Diaries.” She told stories about Dominican
culture that were relatable, vibrant in colour,
and, most importantly, original. Watching
her series inspired me to create something
authentic and fresh. I have an incredible
support system of friends and family. Many
of them work in the arts (models, photogra-
phers, performers, etc.) and are on the cusp
of breaking out in their field. I wanted to tell
their stories and show everyone how amazing they are.
Well the docu-series is so interesting
and there’s only two episodes out so
far. What else can we expect from Inner Circle?
Well, the docu-series is aptly titled Inner
Circle, because it follows the people closest
to me. You may not know the names of everyone highlighted, but you will soon! Some
chapters are dialogue-heavy like “Bad Girl”
and others are edited as mini music videos with none at all. You can expect to see
beautiful imagery mixed with organic storytelling. A lot of shows out today are overly
produced and feel forced. I made a point to
go the opposite route.
One of your close friends is trans
model Arisce Wanzer. How do you
know her?
Arisce Wanzer is one of my best friends. We
met 5 years ago in NYC at a house party
and have been inseparable since.
You must be so proud of her and her
accomplishments, especially landing a
starring role on Strut!
I’m hella excited for Strut! It’s not often that
you see an ensemble cast, all of colour, on
a major TV network. Chapter one of my
docu-series gives a more intimate look at
how hard Arisce has worked to get to this
point. She deserves all of the fame that is
coming her way.
Strut looks amazing and it’s such a
huge deal for the LGBT community
in media. As a gay director yourself,
what’s your opinion of the way gay
men are represented in the media?
Now that we have films like Barry Jenkins’
upcoming feature “Moonlight”, I think gay
men are starting to have more diverse representation in the media. So it’s great!
So what more can we expect from you?
My sister just gave birth to a son and I’m
a proud first time uncle. The next project
I’m working on is creating original educational videos for my nephew as he grows
older (think Reading Rainbow meets Blue’s
Clues). We live on separate coasts in the
U.S. but I want to be a part of his learning
process. I plan on starring in these videos so
that he will be familiar with my face, despite
being thousands of miles away.
Thank you so much Brandon! I look
forward to seeing the rest of Inner
Circle.

CHRISTEENE is exactly
what the world needs
right now. In today’s
society, we’re plagued by
conventions, by sticking
to boundaries, following
rules, snubbing originiality.
It seems every new film in
the cinema is a remake,
every new song is a cover,
every new restaurant is a
Pizza Express.
CHRISTEENE: TRIGGER is at
The Soho Theatre from
Friday 2nd – Saturday 17th September.
9:30pm. £10 - £20.
21 Dean Street, Soho, W1D 3NE.
Well, CHRISTEENE will shit all over your dough balls and piss
in your garlic butter. Instead of seeing a Marvel movie at the
cinema, she’ll go to Spiderman’s house and rim him over the
coffee table while Kirsten Dunst looked on in horror.
She sheds convention with an unapologetic oblivion that
shows she may never even have known what convention
was. In sad post-brexit world of Strictly Come Dancing and
Samsung Galaxies, she’s the writhing, roiling, gurning, mudsmeared antidote.
After one of the worst years of the decade, it’s time to shrug
off constraints imposed by rich developers, tax collectors, politicans. She’s descending on The Soho Theatre with TRIGGER.
A shocking, raw spectacle of filth and fantasy.
So, that’s really all you need to know. Cancel everything and
get down there. That’s certainly what we’re going to do.

If I had my way I’d go to
everything every night of the week,
but how to fit it all in? Sometimes
I really do feel like I’ve missed out
somewhere! As we wing our way
into September, there’s all sorts
going on in London Town. I’ve
picked out some favourite parties
at my fave hotspots for you.
I’m always popping round to
The Glory, where they’ve got
such an array of performance
and DJ action going on I could
actually live there! On Friday 2nd
September, step into the world
of Homo Superior with DJs
Sina Sparrow from Debbie
Does Disco and Panos Z in the
basement from 9pm. Upstairs,
it’s always show time and this
week Cherry Poppers does a
Homodrop
bit of cavorting on stage while
Jonbenet Blonde takes to the
decks until 2am.
Up town at the Retro Bar they’re
keeping the cute indie pub vibe
alive with More Glam, Vicar?
On Saturday 3rd DJ Heidi Heelz
holds the fort with a set you can
mouth the words to if you’re that
way inclined. 8-11pm (proper pub
times!).
Homodrop is back at the
Dalston Superstore on
Saturday 3rd. In town for this extra
special night is a DJ who’s become
something of a legend...Cormac!
He’s been busy in Berlin and a
regular DJ at Berghain/Ostgut
Panorama Bar. He’ll be joining
the Homodrop squad Tiffany
M, Marie Malarie, Richard

9-4am.
David Hoyle from 14th to the
25th September at the Chelsea
Theatre. Ms David Hoyle dons

all and sundry, ‘It shall be an
education’.
As I mentioned last week,
Christeene is back doing a one
off performance at Horse Meat
Disco on Sunday 4th September
at The Eagle... OMG! Roadblock
alert for this one, 8pm - 3am.
I’d advise you get there early to
secure your front row mosh pit
position!
And let us venture into the world of
Sink The Pink: Under The Sea
this month on Saturday 17th for a
ball to end all balls. Truly an experience where you will really feel
part of the Sink The Pink fam of
freaks to take place at The Troxy
9-4am. Special guest DJs, shows
all night long, a chance for you
to enter Queen Of The Night
where as a resident judge I will be
welcoming you to the stage!

IMAAN LGBT MUSLIMS
Founded in 1999, Imaan is the UK’s
leading LGBT Muslim charity. It
offers social support and meetings
for those who identify both as
Muslim, and lesbian, gay, bisexual
or transgender.
In a world where religion and
sexuality are often polarized, it’s an
important and valuable resource.
If we expect to move forward
from insidious influences like
Islamophobia, homophobia, and
xenophobia, groups like Imaan are
of paramount importance.
Imaan has grown over the last two
decades, and now has hundreds
of dedicated members. Together,
they attend pride marches, organize
religion-based events, and reflect
on what it means to be both Muslim
and LGBTQI.
