The NHS originally said they were only obliged to provide treatment, not prevention. And the NAT quite rightly pointed out that this doesn’t add up, as post-exposure prevention pill PEP is already available on the NHS, so why shouldn’t a preexposure one be available too? The NAT have threatened a lawsuit if issues aren’t addressed. Quite right too. T’aint by ASHISH Provocative Londonbased designer Ashish has come out with an awesome new line of t-shirts that we’re totally gonna be rocking this summer. They feature a range of playful dot-to-dot pornography, which is a lascivious melding of totes cute and, like, totes explicit. They might be NSFW but if your work doesn’t like them, get a new job. You don’t want to be working with those people anyway. T’aint is available at V Files in New York City. That poster in Waterloo Remember that “Imagine London Without Gays” poster that flickered into life in Waterloo with no explanation last week and sent Twitter into meltdown? Some people thought it was homophobic. Some people thought it was hilarious. Most people didn’t give a shit. WELL, apparently it was a publicity stunt by Tel Aviv Pride, to grab the world’s attention ahead of their celebrations on June 3rd. Bit random and a bit sort of…ungainly? But we’re a magazine and here we are writing about it, so it clearly worked. Oh well. My Big Funny Peter GUESS WHAT! There’s a hot gay bear comedian coming to London! Yes! It’s Peter Bisuito, also known as My Big Funny Peter. He’s from across the pond, fresh from playing host to our American ursine brethren. He’s quite big over there. He’s even been on Oprah! His UK tour is coming to good old Eagle in Vauxhall on 2nd May.

L: Fannar R: Adrian Cult blokezine meat has just released its latest issue of guy-next-door totty. This time it’s a collaboration with gay rugby team the Kings Cross Steelers. After drying off his seat, Dom Top had a chat with meat maestro Adrian Lourie about meat, music and more. WELL, Mr. Lourie, we’ve had a gander at the latest issue of meat and it is VERY TASTY. Tell us about it. It is isn’t it? It’s devoted to The Kings Cross Steelers Rugby Club. They were the world’s first gay inclusive rugby team and this year they celebrate their twentieth anniversary, so I thought it was a good time to get in on some changing room action with them. I love how diverse the club is and its all-inclusive attitude. I thought they were a good fit for meat. How did the collaboration with Kings Cross Steelers happen? There was a conversation about maybe doing a feature on them for meat but I thought they deserved a full issue. I put the idea to them and they were really into it and it all happened pretty quickly. We went from shoot to print in week. How were rugby boys to work with? Shy? Show-offs? What was amazing about doing it was the mix of guys. Of course there were some-show offs but there were a few guys who’d never done anything like this. To be honest I was a bit intimidated prior to doing it. I thought they might have a certain attitude or be a bit difficult or unfriendly, but honestly they were so fantastic and very happy to be part of it. I think each one of them gave us something very special. They were all complete gentlemen too. I got a lot of very firm handshakes on the day. Any faves from the shoot? We’re particularly fond of the cover boy… It was pretty clear that Steve was going to be the cover from early on. I mean he’s amazing looking but he was very quiet and unassuming and whilst he was obviously confident in front of the camera he had this lovely shy nature, which is very appealing. Having said that he also has a very strong presence and to be honest I nearly dropped the camera when he walked into the room. I have to say though, they were all amazing and every one of them a total hottie. I have a crush on them all. Any plans for the next issue or is that top secret? The next issue is devoted to Paris. I shot 17 guys in 4 days there at the end of January. That was such an adventure. The pictures are completely amazing and I think it’s going to be the most fabulous issue. That city has always been so supportive of meat and it was nice to pay a little tribute to its fantastic men. I made some really great friends whilst I was there and I can’t wait for them to see it. How many issues of meat is this now? I’ve just published issue twenty in March and with special issues including meat The Kings Cross Steelers and meat SF (the San Francisco issue) we’re up to 25. September will be the sixth anniversary of the first issue. What inspired you initially to start the zine? I imagine seeing hot blokes strip o ff is a bonus. I wanted to produce something in print. At that time there seemed to be a big downturn in printed matter. It really looked like the Internet 8 qxmagazine.com QX_1103_Meat.indd 8 26/04/2016 18:22 and particularly the iPad would be the death of print. Thankfully that seems to have changed and there’s a more amazing array of magazines than ever. I also wanted to see a more diverse range of men looking sexy in print. I always felt like the gay press would do features on bears or hipster gays as a sort of novelty. I wanted to push out the idea that you don’t need a six-pack and retouching to look hot. I’ve never retouched the meat men and I try really hard to be diverse in my choice of subjects. Looking at hot blokes stripping off is always a bonus too obviously. How do you feel the response to it has been? It’s been really phenomenal. I get a great response from guys about it and they really seem to get my point of view. I rarely have to look for models now, guys who buy it or follow the Instagram or Facebook contact me about being featured. I guess for some people it will never been diverse enough but I try really hard to represent as many different men as I can. I pretty much shoot, edit, and produce it singlehandedly. It survives with no advertising and absolutely no publishing skills from me. That people still buy it and buy into the aesthetic and idea of it makes me so happy. People are finding it all the time and it’s new to them and it still seems fresh and interesting to them, which is great. The meat Launch parties at RVT are always a scream, when’s the next one? We’re back at The RVT on June 10th with our special guest DJ John Sizzle. I can’t wait. He always serves it up. It’s really great to see the Tavern having such resurgence too. Our parties there are busier than ever. I love seeing that place rammed. We get a great crowd and everyone’s up for drinking beer and losing it on the dance floor. “They were all amazing and every one of them a total hottie. I have a crush on them all.” What about meat East? We’ve been taking on a Saturday night every couple of months at Dalston Superstore. The next party is May 21st. We get the hottest crowd. It gets so packed and causes a roadblock on the street! It’s one of my favourite places to DJ because you get such a great opportunity to look out over a room of the hottest men. We also make it very much about the music and upstairs and downstairs are very carefully curated. There’s something for everyone. Do you have a favourite issue of meat? meat SF probably (the San Francisco issue). It just reminds me of a great time in my life. Rolling around The West Coast with my friend, singer Matt Alber (who featured on the cover). Meeting and shooting all these great blokes. Having said that, as soon as an issue is printed I’m on to the next. I don’t often look back at them. I’ll save that until I do the coffee table book. Who would be your dream guy to shoot for the zine? I’m more than happy shooting anyone who wants to be part of it to be honest. There are a couple of those rugby dudes I’d have back in a heartbeat though. What else are you up to? Are you still DJing all over London with Fannar as per usual? Yeah we’ve been doing lots of stuff as the meat boys. We did some gigs in Paris this year and will be back there in July. We do Friday nights at The Kings Arms and are starting a monthly Wednesday night there next month. We’re also doing a monthly Sunday evening residency at The Vauxhall Griffin from late May. We get to play lots of great parties like BRUT as well as our own meat parties. Lots of stuff to keep us in trouble. Any favourite meat models? Well I met Fannar through meat, I put him on the cover and we’ve been doing our thing in one-way or anther ever since, so I’d definitely say him. He’ll be really embarrassed by my saying that! How do you feel about vegetarians? I’m equal opportunities. I think anyone looks good in a meat tee shirt.

From Robyn tumbling around to the dusky electro riff of Call Your Girlfriend, to beguiling galactical geniuses Niki & The Dove, to Loreen’s scintillating snowstorm of a hit, Euphoria! HRNNNK! They’re continuing to pioneer ice-cuttingly original sounds, and up-and-coming new artist Raindear is a perfect example of that. Her debut album Embers is folk/darkpop fusion, evocative and truly original. She spoke to Dylan Jones about musical metaphors, her inspirations and treatment of women in the industry. I’ve just been listening to your album. I love it, it’s very Scandinavian! Yeah! I can’t help getting influenced by our traditional folk music and stuff. So in that way, I can’t help sounding Scandinavian! Although I think mixing-wise, it’s got more edge than a lot of Scandinavian music. I’m not sure about Scandinavian music outside of Sweden, but with some of our music, the music isn’t as edgy. Well I sort of compared you a bit to Niki & The Dove… I love that! They’re my favourites from Sweden. I love getting compared to them. Their most recent stuff is so great. It’s so raw, and that’s very Scandinavian. On your Facebook page you refer to your music as “Disney/desert pop”. What’s the idea behind that? I just really love the Pocahontas soundtrack, and Mulan, and all the movies I watched as a kid. I’ve just really been inspired by them. And the ‘desert’ part is because sometimes I have some Middle Eastern influences in the scale. I just wanted to name it something other than ‘electropop’, because that doesn’t properly describe what it is. I don’t want to be referred to as an electropop artist, because that’s kind of limiting. I like real instruments. Electropop used to be a new genre, but maybe now that word’s being thrown around a bit too much. Yeah. I feel like electropop has synthesizers and a drum machine, and a really electric sound. Which I have a bit, but I wanted to be really organic at the same time. If you described me as an electropop artist it wouldn’t explain the whole sound. So tell me about the lead single from the album, I’m The Ice. It’s about passivity. The whole ice vibe that I’m describing is a metaphor for when you’re really passive and scared in a relationship, and you just melt. And it’s really far until you reach where you should be. Like a glacier. So the ice is a metaphor for a situation you can’t get out of. You’re frozen. So we already mentioned Niki & The Dove. What other artists are you liking at the moment? I really liked SBTRACT newest album. Or whatever it was, I don’t think they wanted to refer to it as an album. But yeah, their latest work. And one of my favourites at the moment is Jungle from London! I really like that sound. It can’t be too pretentious, I want some quirkiness! A bit like Niki & The Dove. NDEAR NDEAR That’s why my music sounds the way it does. I like it to be dark, but quirky at the same time, so it has a spectrum of emotion. As a young woman starting out in the music industry, what do you think about how it’s treating women at the moment? And do you have any thoughts on the whole Ke$ha thing? Oh my god, I don’t know the specifics but from what I’ve heard, the stuff with Ke$ha sounds really horrible. I’ve been really surprised by everything I’ve read about that. For myself as a female producer, I’ve thankfully never experienced anything like that. But people sometimes don’t believe you’ve done what you’ve done. That I can even use a computer and things like. That’s something you experience every day. But luckily I think equality has come a little bit further in Sweden compared to the rest of the world. So I’m lucky to be here at least. I hear a lot of horrible things about the music industry every day. But I can’t say I know any specifics about the Ke$ha situation apart from what I’ve read, what everyone’s read. But it sounds awful. It’s interesting what you said about your experiences as a female producer. I saw an interview with Charli XCX where she said people didn’t realize who her band were because she has an all-female band. Yeah, stuff like that is really bizarre. I’m interested in feminism. I’m trying to do what I can for that. I’m actually teaching young girls here in Sweden to produce music on their summer camps. I’m trying to change how it’s being looked at, because I’ve experienced it myself. Wow that’s awesome! So what are your plans for the future? Well I’m gonna wait and see what this album generates, but I already know I’m coming to London in May. It’s not official yet so I’m not sure if I can say it, but just look out for me turning up in London at the end of May! And I’m also gonna go to New York and LA at some point after the album comes out, and try to promote the album over there. And hopefully play at some festivals in Sweden, that’d be awesome. At the moment a lot of things are uncertain. But I’m in a really creative space right now, there are so many new ideas circling in my head. It looks like it’s gonna be an exciting summer for you! Definitely. Raindear will be in the UK in May, and Embers is out now. 10 qxmagazine.com QX_1103_Raindear.indd 10 RAIN RAIN 26/04/2016 18:32 I don’t want to be referred to as an ele c tro p o p a r t i s t , b e c a u s e that’s kind of limiting. I like real instruments.

It was an idea I had off the back of my pop sets at Dalston Superstore. Whenever I dropped any old school R&B, people would go crazy. I thought: ‘We need an old school R&B night in East London’, because there wasn’t one. Not for a gay audience anyway. And knowing how the gays love to channel their inner diva on the dancefloor, I thought I’d make it all about the females in R&B and Hip-Hop. R & She was born. We wanted to create a fun, party atmosphere, inclusive for everyone, celebrating not just the female artists we love but the message they bring through their music. So on the one side we have a proper party vibe with mass sing-a-longs and dance offs. But on the other it connects with our beliefs in finding the strength to be comfortable with yourself, your sexuality and your body and fighting the dominant patriarchal bullshit. R&B and Hip-Hop now is very much a male dominated industry. But if you go back to the 90’s, there were so many more big female artists in the game. It’s something we hope is going to change, with new artists such as Tinashe and Lady Leshurr striking a chord and building audiences. We have an amazingly loyal crowd whom we love that come back party after party. They make the party, really. And what we’ve ended up with is one of the most mixed crowds at a gay night we’ve seen. Which is how it should be. It’s allowed us to grow, moving from Vogue Fabrics to Tipsy in 2014 and now next month for our May party, we’ll be holding it in an even bigger venue, Trapeze on Great Eastern Street. 2016 has already been a big year, securing a Berlin residency at St Georg and opening for En Vogue at the Mighty Hoopla festival. And with forthcoming slots at Bristol Pride and another outdoor summer party at the Magic Roundabout we’re all set to continue celebrating the queens in Hip-Hop and R&B!” Fat Tony Vauxhall’s naughty Thursday night treat, Gravity, is BACK this week on 28th April…but what’s that following it? Oh my god, it’s ONYX! Yes, our favourite club night named after a semi-precious stone and/or a Pokemon is making a comeback, in a big way. The two club leviathans will be battling it out for supremacy every Thursday, with a roster of DJs that will stay true to both brands’ very distinct identities. In the GRAVITY room, bringing you the best in eclectic, fun and uplifting afterhours beats, will be Fat Tony & Richard Jones. In the ONYX room, playing dance floor anthems & club classics, will be Charlie Holland, Jason Prince & Matt Unique. Plus the gorgeous Latin lovely Sidney Bueno is on hosting duties. This lady has the samba in her blood, so get ready for her to take you for a spin around the dancefloor, clad in a selection of her finest eyepopping outfits! Charlie Holand Sidney Bueno R&She’s 4th Birthday party is on Saturday 30th April at TIPSY (20 Stoke Newington Road, N16 7XN), 9pm – 4:30am. Free before 10pm, £6 after.

Bears, built, lean and every little nuance between were in attendance - flooding the massive arena dancefloors like the subwoofers thumping hard house, smooth r’n’b and smash tracks from the past - filling the yards of sofas of both chill spaces, and working up another kind of sweat elsewhere. 10pm to 7am still remains one of the best deals for revellers looking to dedicate themselves to any scene venue - and any reason to wave the flag for what’s become the scene’s most fondly patronised club night South of the river. Well we’re in! “Bears, built, lean and every little nuance between were in attendance.” 20 qxmagazine.com QX_1103_Club Reviews.indd 20 26/04/2016 18:48 QX 1103 MASTER 1.indd 21 26/04/2016 17:43 A:M 22/04/16 Protocol, 6A South Lambeth Place, SW8 1SP Words by Jaime Domingo Photos by ChrisJepson.com “It’s not just after-hours, it’s outrageously after-hours.” A:M deserves its reputation as one of the BEST CLUBBING NIGHTS IN THE CITY! It’s not just after-hours, it’s outrageously after-hours. It runs in a strobe-lit whirlwind from 11pm right through to 11am and we survived for erm… well, some of that! Even QX Magazine has their limits. Believe it or not, we’re not the party girls we once were. We were home and in bed by 7am. So early! Anyway it can always be relied on to be an absolute banger of a night out. We got chatting to a sexy Kellan Lutz lookalike on the dancefloor. Who knows, maybe it WAS Kellan Lutz, you never know these days. Louise Port was there being a fabulous host as always with her gorgeous grin. SO, big thanks to the kids at A:M for another absolute stomper of an after-hours party! 22 qxmagazine.com QX_1103_Club Reviews.indd 22 26/04/2016 19:03 QX 1103 MASTER 1.indd 23 26/04/2016 18:25 Exilio @ Muse Soho 16/04/16 23 Frith St, London W1D 4RR Words and Photos by ChrisJepson.com For almost 20 years, the legendary LGBT Latin Dance Club Exilio has been bringing the finest Latin sounds to London, and in an exciting chapter in their story last weekend saw them moving to Muse, a new central Soho venue, for their twice a month parties. Not just a late nightclub event, Exilio has community at its heart and enough Latin love for all. Opening at 6pm, the evening is divided up in to segments and offers a warm up of Latin ballads and finger food for early arrivals before the entertainment kicks in with Salsa classes, Exilio diva performances and a showcase of new Latino talent. Then the Exilio resident DJs take over for a dance session like no other with a mix of salsa, merengue, bachata, reggaeton and the best Latin crossover music. Last Saturday’s chic launch featured a masked ball, the gorgeous Sidney Bueno and her boys on the door, performance from Nikita Nipone as Dua Lipa, Pamela as Gloria Trevi and so much more. Latin Chic has arrived, and its name is Exilio. “Exilio has community at it’s heart and enough Latin love for all.” 24 qxmagazine.com QX_1103_Club Reviews.indd 24 26/04/2016 18:49 QX 1103 MASTER 1.indd 25 26/04/2016 18:20 TheMenWhoFell2Earth 23/04/16 East Bloc, 217 City Road, EC1V 1JN Words by James Egan Photos by Freddy Krave We CRASHED into East Bloc for another instalment of its longest-running party this Saturday. This time our favourite extraterrestrials had abducted Scotch sensation Hi-Fi Sean and beamed him down to the Bloc for what he described as a “delicious musical salad” of top tunes. The Men themselves threw down some real treats (including a number of Prince’s best cuts) while the dancefloor throbbed with rowdy weekend revellers of every persuasion and orientation. International porn star Issac Jones turned up for a shimmy, along with the Prince of Darkness Ray Noir. He didn’t so much shimmy, as look gorgeously broody though. Fab host Cain Jennings whirled around the place like a dervish, as Tumblr sensation Freddy Krave snapped the scene.

Too many LGBT nights in London place heavy emphasis on “the kind of queer person designed for this specific space”; Debbie’s room of club-goers is diverse and eclectic, and as a result, the atmosphere was friendly and joyous. The only strict definition at play was the DJ’s uplifting playlist – all your favourite female fronted tracks. I’d been longing for a night where I could rock out to “Bad Romance” and “Shake it Off” without feeling cringe – and lo and behold, I found it in Debbie! DJ Laurence Del Rey catered not only to pop lovers, but also to those who wanna jam out to Stevie Nicks and Tina Turner like a teenager with lots of feelings again. If you’re up for meeting someone new, that could be hard at Debbie, as the lighting on the dance-floor was a bit too low to really make much out (and it’s definitely not going for the darkroom vibe…) But if you’re looking for somewhere to be as silly and happy as possible with your gang, Debbie’s your gal pal. “If you’re looking for somewhere to be as silly and happy as possible with your gang, Debbie’s your gal pal.” 28 qxmagazine.com QX_1103_Club Reviews.indd 28 26/04/2016 18:53 QX 1103 MASTER 1.indd 29 26/04/2016 18:30 R A I S I N G T H E B A R Circa 62 Frith Street, London W1 BackCounter Vauxhall Station, South Lambeth Road SW8 1SR BackCounter are bringing cocktail hour back to Vauxhall this Saturday 30th with unique twists on classic serves.

Many of the people who make up the scene are from varying cultures and backgrounds and all of them intermingle freely week in and week out. This week Jason Reid spoke to four artists who make up London’s multicultural world of drag.... utu t a f o n so Virgin h a z n a g a v a Xtr MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF LONDON were very good. I I WAS BORN IN EAST LONDON in the late 60’s to Nigerian parents; raised in Nigeria from mid 70’s through to the end of the 80’s. There was no scene there when I was growing up. My salvation was music and television: Danny LaRue, Dick Emery, Geraldine, David Bowie and Boy George to mention a few. I returned to London to blossom for the first part of the 90’s before heading to America, until once again returning to London in 2003. I’ve been busy! It will be five years in June (the day I won Drag Idol) since I became a professional drag artist. When I first came onto the London drag scene apart from a few pioneering acts such as Sandra and Lucia and Zsarday - there were hardly any ethnic girls representing. Thankfully that has now changed due to: the growing middle class within the ethnic communities in the UK: the proliferation of on-scene talent competitions including Drag Idol: and RuPaul who has lit a fuse under the millennials. Thank God. The character of Tutu is a middle-aged Nigerian woman who maintains that as she draws her energy from the sun (not the newspaper), she has the right to live wherever it shines. This core belief shapes the way she walks, talks, observes life and transmits her brand of entertainment. London is a great melting pot of people, ideas and experiences which together combine to provide a great platform for varied and dynamic forms of expression through art and other mediums. I feel lucky to call it my home. There was no scene there when I was growing up. came here in 2004 to study acting at Guildhall School of Music and Drama. As soon as I found the cabaret world I felt I could just be myself. It was so accepting, open, and creative. At first I was given a few opportunities from Holestar, Meth and George Antony who ran the Black Cap in those days. By and large, the initial reactions to Virgin were incredibly positive. I feel this was due to the fact that for the first time I felt like I was able, and encouraged, to do what I wanted to do by the cabaret community, as opposed to try to fit into a mould that didn’t accommodate or find value in my individuality, which is how I felt as an actor. My background and culture has a big impact on my art. I’m from the west coast of America, born in California and moved to Oregon when I was five. Virgin is based on the stereotypical white American ‘valley-girl’ as a modern-day incarnation of the Virgin Mary. Putting this cultural background on an iconic religious figure is absurd, but to then place the character in London means it’s completely out of context, and this element of isolation, and apparent displacement is a lot of the fuel for Virgin’s comedy. London is a cultural melting pot, and this means that artists from all different backgrounds can thrive here; it’s what makes the London art scene great. Let’s hope gentrification doesn’t take that away! In the context of the London cabaret scene, the city’s multiculturalism aids me in the fact that Virgin is celebrated for her being culturally different here, which wouldn’t necessarily happen in other art genres. It also means that as an artist, I am constantly surrounded by different cultures and people I would never get to interact with where I am from originally, so this is a huge source of inspiration for me as an artist. Virgin is based on the stereotypical white American ‘valley-girl’ 40 qxmagazine.com QX_1103_Cabaret.indd 40 26/04/2016 18:18 As a British Pakistani artist I have a responsibility to my cultur I decided to create a character that had all the Brazilian stereotypes in one person Shakondda I MOVED FROM BRAZIL TO LONDON in 2015 to study Musical Theatre. My first impressions of London; a city that has the A to Z of cabaret: all tastes, all levels of naughty, commercial, comedy, in all sorts of places. People pay to see artists, too. Diversity and money are the main reasons I am here. I think paying the artist means showing respect to the profession. I’ve had good and bad experiences adapting. There were moments when I couldn’t understand the English very well; hearing accents I had never heard before in a noisy environment, which then made me feel insecure. The hardest thing for me to deal with is the fact that I didn’t grow up here so I don’t have the cultural references that other queens have, so instead I make my show about the cultural shock, the clash between my culture and London culture. People often ask me “how come you don’t know this and that?”, and I have to remind them that I didn’t grow up here. However there are lots of things that I know and British queens don’t, so I just play with that instead of trying to compete in a field that I know I’ll have a major disadvantage in if I try to be like everyone else. The first female drag artist I saw was Holestar. I remember thinking, “oh my God, I’d love to do that too”. Also the girls from Family Fierce, and amazing drag kings like LoUis CYfer. I think most people in the business are very open and receptive to female drag performers, but I was shocked to find out there is misogyny on the gay scene, but it’s certainly not in the majority. I think lots of people come to London from other countries with this idea that it’s a very forward thinking place, and that is true, but not all is rosy. I remember meeting a brown-skinned gay man who was a UKIP supporter, and that really opened my eyes and made me understand that things are not black and white, no pun intended. The idea behind Shakondda’s creation was initially a form of therapy and reaction to perceived ideas of what Brazil is. I was tired of hearing the same comments regarding what was expected from me as a Brazilian girl. My first reaction was to be angry, but then I started thinking about it creatively and I decided to create a character that had all the Brazilian stereotypes in one person: football, coffee, City of God, carnival, banana, jungle, supermodels and so on. e r o h a l a f asi I HAVE BEEN A CABARET ARTIST for five years. I’m a British Pakistani, and I spent my childhood living in both London and Lahore. When I entered the drag scene I was overwhelmed and excited by the wealth of variety. I wondered where I’d fit in. I entered Drag Idol in 2012 and my act divided opinions from the word go; there were those who thought I was original and amazing and then others who took the opinion that I was offensive. As a Muslim, coming on to the stage wearing a burkha in Drag Idol was controversial. Even then a gay Muslim was a contradiction. No one had done this type of performance before and many didn’t know how to take it. I had to jump through quite a few hoops so that people got what it was about. Representing my culture then (and now) is very important to me. And if I hadn’t done so, it would’ve been highlighted, due to my very obvious Asian aesthetic. I made a conscious decision to focus on it from the very beginning. Sadly there’s still a shortage Asian drag artists coming through, however I’m confident it will happen, and I always try to mentor and encourage those who want to take the leap. Personally, I think I found it easier because I’m so grounded in my Britishness. Being able to get the balance between the two is an important factor in breaking through to the mainstream. London allows me to be free. Free to self-express and free to be visible. I don’t have to censor myself and I’m grateful for that. Eventually I think attitudes will change in Pakistan, but not anytime soon. As a British Pakistani artist I have a responsibility to my culture, especially to those who don’t have the freedoms and rights that I have. 41 qxmagazine.com QX_1103_Cabaret.indd 41 26/04/2016 18:19 #J U L I A S AY S ... by Princess Julia Who has time to read a book nowadays?

It’s a sultrier departure from the “Look How I’m Doing” chanteuse’s usual club banger fare. Montag retains a beguiling sense of mystery throughout. And the question on everybody’s lips throughout the full 3:32 of I’ll Do It is…what will she do?! Anal? An act of sociopoliticial cyberterrorism? The laundry? WHO KNOWS! You’ll have to listen and find out! Disco, Blisters & A Comedown Dylan Jones’ roundup of new music for people who listens to music! This week our selection is like a vile 17-year-old girl’s Spotify playlist. E.g. amazing! These are tracks to listen to whilst storming along City Road in nothing but gold lamé pants at seven in the morning. They’re tracks to have on in the background while you’ve got multiple dicks in your mouth. They’re tracks to play whilst shoplifting from Primark. Heidi Montag Generally just the soundtrack to morally reprehensible, completely feral behaviour. Let’s go! Erika Jayne Erika Jayne – How Many Fucks Oh my god so Erika Jayne is our NEW ULTIMATE FAVOURITE! And the video for this is such strong work. Well done Erika, ten points to Sniffingbore. It’s like a drag queen directed it on a comedown. Who knows, maybe that’s what happened. To Erika’s credit, she’s got a great arse and she can dance, and those are possibly the two most important things in life. This might not be the most critically viable song in the world but how many fucks do we give? NONE! NOT ONE! ZERO, ZERO, ZERO, DONE! *Flips hair* Lindsay Lohan Lindsay Lohan – Fastlane I discovered this, fittingly, whilst stumbling around Dalston Sainsburys. It sounded great in the frozen aisle. We’re still massive fans of Lindsay here at QX. In fact we want her to be QX Spokeswoman. It would be a perfect fit. She likes a drink. WE like a drink. She was in Mean Girls. We’ve watched Mean Girls. PERFECT. Anyway Fastlane is great, really philosophical, all about living life in the fast lane. SEMINAL. 44 qxmagazine.com QX_1103_Review Section.indd 44 26/04/2016 19:15 QX 1103 MASTER 1.indd 45 26/04/2016 17:59 A R T S b y D yl a n J o n e s Review: THE OPPOSITE OF SEX This time our review section is not about a new release, but about a seminal piece of cult queer cinema recommended by us, QX! This may become a regular thing. Or it may not. Who knows! That’s the beauty of journalism. This week we’ve chosen Don Roos’ dark nineties satire, The Opposite Of Sex. Its description on Netflix is “When a manipulative 16-year-old tart moves in with her gay half-brother and his lover, she soon seduces her way into a gender-bending love triangle.” Pretty much sums it up really, thanks Netflix. It features Christina Ricci (Wednesday from The Addams Family!) as pouty teenager Deedee who’s sent to live with her gay half- brother Bill after her stepfather dies. She’s fabulously vile throughout the entirety of the movie, snogging, slapping, screaming and sniping through a whirlwind of drama created by her own psychotic manipulations. She immediately ingratiates herself with Bill’s young hot boyfriend Matt, played by the totes gorge Ivan Sergei, and they’re giggling on sunloungers by the pool in no time. But of course it all goes tits up, almost literally. OH, and we almost forgot Lisa Kudrow does possibly one of the strongest turns of her career as Bill’s dowdy, downtrodden fag hag. The scenes of her sneaking under windows and scowling into milkshakes in roadside diners are beyond hilarious. Without giving too much away, this film is not what you think it is. Part of what gained it status as a cult favourite is its insane unpredictably, and Shakespearean comedyof-errors car crash of impossible situations and dysfunctional friendships. Christina Ricci’s drawling narration of events over the course of the movie has to be heard to be believed. It’s absolutely vicious, and will probably make you spit out your pinot grigio. SO, give it a watch when you’re next in the mood for a cynical, offbeat but ultimately heartwarming comedy/drama. The Opposite Of Sex is available on Netflix now. 46 qxmagazine.com QX_1103_Review Section.indd 46 26/04/2016 18:42 QX 1103 MASTER 1.indd 47 26/04/2016 18:06 Yo ur gui d e t o t h e w e e k ’s b e s t B A R , C L UB & C A B A R E T e v e n t s in L o n d o n 28 April 04 May M U S T S THURSDAY 28TH APRIL CLUBS & EVENTS Hard-Up Thursdays at Sweatbox: 1-2 Ramilies Street, Soho, W1F 7LN. 24 hours.
