And our next fashion bio-pic will be… this!
We loved Ewan McGregor as Halston in that Ryan Murphy thing. And we kind of watched the Balenciaga one a bit but not much. But what we will be glued to is a new Disney+ series about the life and times and loves and boyfriends and outfits and feuds of the Kaiser himself, one Karl Lagerfeld.
Free at last! Free at last!
In today’s Oscar noms, in between the Barbies and the Oppenheimers and the Killers of Flower Moons is a film you might not have heard of. It’s called Rustin.
Clothes as art, people!
Are you one of those people who collects clothes? We don’t mean a hoarder. We mean a connoisseur. Someone who knows what they’re talking about when it comes to clobber and who could never get rid of that original cotton lawn Vivienne Westwood smock shirt or that Richmond Cornejo zippy punky jacket.
Simply Barbra
If you should find yourself with 48 hours to kill - maybe you're in A&E or waiting for a Trans-Penine Railway train - then you could do a lot worse than buy the audiobook of the autobiography of Barbra Streisand.
*JAKE THEATRE OFFER*
Penelope Wilton and Luke Evans star as The Queen Mother and her favourite gay staff member. Already a winner in our book. Add the fact that it comes from the prestigious Michael Grandage Company and you’re onto a sure-fire smash hit.
Is this the gay book of the year? Could be!
The concept is so delicious it just has to be fattening…
A whirl-wind trip around the whirl with Wes Anderson
You know Wes Anderson. Course you do. The film-maker behind such surreal movies as The Royal Tenenbaums, Moonrise Kingdom and The Grand Budapest Hotel
Tom, that naughty man from Finland, now has a whole culture festival!
You know Tom of Finland, the erotic artist responsible for populating the gay world with drawings of beautiful men with apparently outsize organs.
Cruise. A one-man show that takes you back to the whorey glory days of old London’s gay scene
Tour de forces don’t come much more forceful than Jack Holden’s Cruise, recently relocated to London’s glittering West End.
A brand new superstar theatre for Soho, you say?
A new superstar theatre in Soho, you say?
Moxy’s got Pride? Yeah it has!
We’re big fans of Moxy. There, we’ve said it. Among a handful of hotel brands that have, over the most recent of years, changed having a very nice time for an even nicer time – Standard, Kimpton, Locke, Edition among them – the emphasis being on having said fun in gorgeous surroundings with all the right people without having to sell off all your grandparents.
Is it a Pride? A festival? A retreat? Yes!
Do you want to get your chakras going like the clappers before slipping into something sparkly for some woodland dancing? Of course you do! You’re not an animal. Well, not all the time. How about some yoga followed by wild lake swimming and then some drag entertainment and a few drinks? Sign us up!
When Neil and Chris met Marc and Dave
It’s like an 80s wet dream: the two gayest, most perfect synth-duos coming together - as it were - on one track that almost sounds like the best of both of them
One should always have something sensational…
You may have read them. Or pretended to have read them. Or read about them. Well now you don’t have to because there is a new six-hour Netflix documentary series on The Andy Warhol Diaries
Depeche Mode. Quickly!
Stumped for a gift idea for your edgier gay friend? We may have a solution. A good but quite expensive one.
Father Christmas is a TOTAL Daddy
Santa – who you may know from such classics as your chimney, Miracle on 34th Street, that grotto down the Arndale Centre and kissing yo Mamma underneath the mistletoe – has come out as gay.
Design, you say? District, you say? Canteen, you say?
It’s not often we get down to Greenwich Peninsula. Maybe it takes Diana Ross at The O2 to do it. Or a Jake maybe, like we used to do on those rooftops at those luxury apartments. But that was then, this is now and we think we have the perfect excuse…
It’s a very Carnaby Christmas 2021. Dust off your baubles!
Christmas – one of our all-time favourite C words – is apparently making a return this year, and always hot-to-trot on the act is London’s glittering Carnaby Street-and-environs.
Dame Joan Collins is Unapologetic… Well, we knew that!
Remember that night at The May Fair where we had Dame Joan Collins all to ourselves? How she read from her new book? How she submitted to an interview from her best friend (and our founder) Ivan Massow? How she laid herself open to our questions, no matter how impertinent?
A gay Aesop room of one’s own
Love an Aesop, don’t you? Anyone who can combine a Greek fabulist (they never gave us that option during career’s advice! Rude!) and gorgeous things that make us scientifically more beautiful already has our vote.
