HUDSON’S LETTER
Gay parenting stories have
been featuring more in
the news recently. This
month’s cover star, Ricky
Martin, is famously the
out and proud father of
twin boys. Elton John and
partner David Furnish
became dads at Christmas,
and at the time of going
to press, news had leaked
that Coronation Street was
to run a gay parenting
storyline for established
gay character Sean Tully
(played by Antony Cotton).
Of course, not every gay
man has the desire to be
a dad, but it’s great that
those who do now have
a range of options open
to them.
Although figures such
as Ricky and Elton have
raised the profile of
surrogacy, it’s not the
only route to parenthood.
There is an adoption
and fostering crisis in
London at the moment
because thousands of
children are in care homes.
Increasingly, adoption and
fostering agencies across
the capital are keen to
hear from LGB people who
think they may have what
it takes to offer a child a
home.
Also, there’s the Albert
Kennedy Trust, who are
always seeking LGB people
who can offer a safe
home to a teenager who
is having difficulties at
home. Shockingly, there is
still a large number of gay
youngsters who are forced
to leave home because of
their sexuality (the trust
handled 300 such cases
from its Manchester office
alone in a recent twomonth period).
If you’ve got a spare
room, plus the will and
motivation to help and
mentor a young person,
you could be the type of
person the Trust is seeking
to recruit. Check page 75
of this month’s issue for
more details.

FLYING THE FLAG
Our future king, Prince William, will
be marrying long-term girlfriend Kate
Middleton this month, in case you hadn’t heard.
Despite a recent poll revealing that two-thirds of the
population were “largely indifferent” or “couldn’t care less” about the nuptials, manufacturers are still cashing
in with all manner of merchandise. We’ll be avoiding the gilt-edge mugs and confining celebrations to
the perfect accompaniment to a day in front of the telly: a box of royal chocolatier Prestat’s Union Jackadorned selection of truffles washed down with some traditional
London gin! It’s available for £15 from Selfridges, Liberty and branches of John Lewis.
BUCKING THE TREND
Who doesn’t love men’s underwear advertising? Most brands
do tend to use the same sort of ultra-smooth, muscle boy
models but not so new brand Bluebuck, which has just
launched their products with a celebration of manly men!
At Bluebuck they believe in ‘men being men’, that ‘perfection
isn’t sexy’ and that ‘underwear decorated with garish colours,
cartoon animals and dumper trucks are great for two-yearolds’! The range offers unfussy, classic styling for the type of
men who are more likely to be found trekking the Lake District
at weekends. In their pants, obviously! Featuring briefs, trunks
and boxers made in Europe from 95% organic cotton and 5%
elastane, the designs are made by partly utilising renewable
energy - making them pretty eco-friendly. Available in white
and blue, prices start at £18 for briefs, available now from
Prowler in Soho or online (www.prowler.co.uk)
www.bluebuck.net
GET WOOD
We’re always interested to hear about desirable
new beverages, and our taste buds were recently
tantalised by Babička vodka. Brewed according to
a 500-year-old Czech recipe, this distinctive brand
is infused with wormwood, a herbaceous perennial
believed to have curative properties and used to
flavour Absinthe. It undergoes a six-step distillation
process and uses 100% Moravian corn. Boasting its
own subtle, unique flavour, Babička is available now
for £35 a bottle from Harvey Nichols or online at
www.thewhiskeyexchange.com and
www.thedrinkshop.com

SOUND EFFECTS
We can remember when Ministry of Sound first threw open its doors, so the news that the
legendary superclub is celebrating its 20th birthday this year makes us feel officially old! The
venue is celebrating its birthday not only with plenty of special events, but also some new
merchandise –including a couple of high-quality headphones both emblazoned with the
iconic Ministry logo. The MOS004 (£19.99) feature a curled cable and gold-plated 3.5mm
jack for high-definition sound quality, while the MOS006 (pictured here - £39.99) house two
50mm drivers for unparalleled audio quality. They can be bought from 20 April from Play,
Amazon, HMV, Littlewoods, www.ministryofsound.com and www.hedkandi.com

CALENDAR EVENTS//
APRIL 2011
31 MAR-06 APR:
The 25th annual London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival
returns to the BFI Southbank at the beginning of April. Due to
budgetary restraints and cutbacks in funding, the festival has,
unfortunately, been truncated this year – running for just a
week. However, organisers have worked hard to ensure that
the schedule remains packed with screenings and associated
talks and other events.
The festival will open with a screening of cult director Gregg
Araki’s new film, Kaboom (31 Mar) – a sci-fi story centred
on the sexual awakening of a group of college kids. The
closing night gala (6 April) will offer a screening of sexy,
contemporary comedy The Four-Faced Liar (6 Apr) – which
looks at the tangled lives of four 20-something New Yorkers.
We Are Family (2 Apr) is the Festival’s popular film show
for kids and their parents, while Becoming Chaz (1 Apr) is a
documentary following Chastity Bono while she undergoes
her public transition from female to male. Also sure to be

Taxi Zum Klo
07-10 APR:
As mentioned elsewhere, the annual
London Lesbian and Gay Film
Festival has had to be scaled back
this year due to cutbacks in funding.
To act as an unofficial complement
to this year’s programme, Fringe!
The London Gay Film Fest! has been
hastily arranged over the last few weeks by a hardworking
team of LGB creatives. A weekend of parties, free screenings,
talks and performance, it will run from 7-10 April.
Alex Karotsch, the Festival’s producer, and promoter of clubs
Dirtbox, Dick & Fanny and Kimono Krush, explains: “It’s a
grassroots, not-for-profit festival for people who like gays
and films. We’ll be showing crowd-pleasing classics along
with new stuff, talks and performance. There will also be
loads of quirky and exciting parties open to everyone during
the four days of the festival. Come along and join in. I can’t
guarantee free sex, but I can guarantee a great weekend of
cheap film-based fun for London gays and their admirers.”
The event will be centered around the Dalston Rio and
nearby pop-up venues. Around a dozen films will be screened
in six locations over four days. These will include an ironyrich presentation of camp classic Showgirls, hosted by East
End girl dragster Holestar on Friday 8 April at the Rio. There
will also be an exclusive screening of cult German movie Taxi
Zum Klo (reviewed on our film page this month) at the Rio
on Saturday 9 April. Other events will include Queer Erotica,
curated by artist Liz Rosenfeld, a gays-on-YouTube session,
film-maker talks and gay shorts. Parties will be hosted by
Twat Boutique, Vogue Fabrics and Stav B’s Liquor Bar.

07-12 APR:
One of the most eagerly
anticipated gigs of the month
must surely be Kylie Minogue,
who will be bringing her
Aphrodite – Les Folies tour
to London’s O2 Arena for five
nights (not 10 April). Expect
cuts from last year’s Aphrodite
album, plus dozens of classic
hits from her 25-year career.
www.kylie.com
THUR 21 APR:
Given that her singles and albums have been hogging the
top five for the last couple of months, Adele’s London date
of her current tour – at the relatively intimate O2 Shepherds
Bush Empire – probably sold out weeks ago, but if you can
get a ticket, it’s sure to be an incredible gig. www.adele.tv

THUR 21 APR:
Annual event West End Eurovision returns to London, to tie in
with the approaching Eurovision Song Contest. Basically, cast
members from hit West End shows take the stage to belt out
past Eurovision songs, and are appraised by a celebrity panel
of judges. Last year’s judges included Graham Norton and
Toby Anstis, with cast members from Legally Blonde, Avenue
Q and Dirty Dancing belting out the numbers. Guests for this
late-night show (11.30pm) were still being confirmed at the
time of going to press, but a guest appearance from original
Eurovision winners Bucks Fizz had been confirmed. A fun
night out for fans of both Eurovision and West End musicals,
it takes place at the Piccadilly Theatre on Denman Street,
W1. A proportion of the money raised on the evening will go
to the Make A Difference Trust, which helps people affected
by HIV/AIDS, and those in the entertainment industry facing
hardship through long-term illness. Tickets cost £20-£50 (box
office 0844 871 7630). www.theatremad.co.uk

ALBUMS OUT
IN APRIL
“You can be my fuck tonight,”
she speak-sings on ‘How I Roll’,
the fifth track from this, her
seventh studio album. Sundry
misdemeanours of the past
half-decade notwithstanding, it’s
still pretty startling to hear Britney
Jean Spears – once, lest we forget,
the world’s most famous virgin
– being so blunt and boorish.
That’s because Britney Jean Spears
remains a proper, gold-plated,
‘just-the-first-name-will-donicely-thank-you’ pop icon.
She also remains a merely
passable singer and seemingly
unenthusiastic lyric-scribbler who,
as a result, is almost entirely at
the mercy of her songwriters and
producers.

GLASVEGAS
Euphoric ///
Heartbreak \\\
(Columbia)
KATY B
On A Mission (Rinse)
Following the success of
their 2008 eponymously-titled Mercury-nominated
debut album, Glasvegas bounce back with their second
album. Despite signs of difficulty in its creation (original
drummer Caroline McKay was replaced; singer James Allen
infamously ‘disappeared’ for a few days around the time of
the Mercury Prize), there’s little sign of a band struggling
on these songs. Instead, picking up where Glasvegas left
off, Allen seems to have firmly planted his foot on the
effects pedal marked ‘majestic’ and turned up the volume.
From opener ‘Pain, Pain Never Again’ to closer ‘Change’,
Euphoric /// Heartbreak \\\ is layered with Phil Spector-ish
drum beats, atmospheric wall-of-sound guitars and the
unbridled sound of a band aiming for the epic. It’s a shame
that it’s Allen’s voice that gets lost amongst the sonic
maelstrom, and on some tracks here: ‘Stronger Than Dirt
(Homosexuality Pt.2)’ and the U2-ish howl of ‘You’, it’s near
impossible to make out what he’s actually singing.
Fortunately, two songs that stand out as highlights. ‘Wrong
(Homosexuality Pt 1)’ is a surprising and moving ode to…
well, anyone struggling with their sexuality: “For my blueeyed boy there’s a long-distance longing, but behind closed
door fantasies going on, and I feel wrong…. Once a day I
think about killing myself, I can’t carry on I must be strong,
even though it hurts as I sing this song, and I feel wrong.”
Towering above this is the seven-minute ‘Lots Sometimes’
– a slow-burning, blistering song of heartbreak that quite
simply must be released as the next single. Astounding! DH
The hippest kid on the iTunes
homepage? One Kathleen
Brien of Peckham – or Katy B
as she’s known to her mentors at grime station-cum-record
label Rinse, the esteemed members of the Radio 1 playlist
committee, and the savvy pop fans who’ve taken her into
the top 20 three times since August.
Those singles – ‘On A Mission’, ‘Perfect Stranger’ and ‘Lights
On’ – whet the appetite for this debut album nicely, but
they don’t capture its full complement of flavours; yes, this
is very much a dubstep-goes-pop broth, but it’s seasoned
with pleasing hints of drum’n’bass, trip-hop, electro, R&B
and even samba. Best of all, whatever the sound-bed, and
however rubbery the bassline beneath her, Katy B never
forgets the power of a proper pop chorus.
Being a down-to-earth south London type, she writes
about what she knows – romantic encounters in boogie
basements and the follow-ons, from infatuation to fending
off unwanted suitors to the frustrations of being stuck in a
dysfunctional relationship. She’s smart and straight-talking:
“Now I love a bad boy mentality, but I don’t wanna be
visiting no jail,” she warns on ‘Easy Please Me’ - yet she’s
never stuck-up, even ending the album with a sweet shoutout to her fans: “Thanks for joining me on my mission!”
So while its thematic palette is far from kaleidoscopic,
and it could do with a couple more full-on club cuts to
accompany ‘Broken Record’ and ‘Perfect Stranger’, these are
relatively minor quibbles – not enough to sully what could
be the best female-fronted British street-pop platter since
Sugababes’ One Touch. NL

REVIEWS: DAVID HUDSON, NICK LEVINE
JENNIFER HUDSON
I Remember Me (RCA)
Since the release of her
self-titled 2008 debut,
Jennifer Hudson has dropped
a whopping 80lbs... with a little help from WeightWatchers
and begun to rock a look that’s only slightly less sassy than
a back-chatting adolescent. Sadly though, the Oscar-winner
has neglected to lavish such a magnificent makeover on
her music.
Because I Remember Me suffers from the same Achilles’
heel as Jennifer Hudson (even if said heel is now clad in just
faaabulous Jimmy Choo’s) – namely, an over-abundance of
unadventurous, unmemorable mid-tempo R&B numbers.
Alicia Keys supplies a top trio of modern soul shoulderbobbers: each as rich, creamy and classy as an artisan latte;
and the Ryan Tedder-steered title track furnishes Hudson’s
glorious voice with all the drama it deserves. However, too
much of I Remember Me simply fails to hold your full and
undivided attention for any great length of time. The best
song here is ‘Spotlight’, which, of course, was also the best
song from Hudson’s first album.
Worse still, across these 14, platitude-packed tracks there
isn’t a single interesting or insightful lyrical idea – however
hard our heroine sells her self-empowerment messages. All
too typical is ‘Why Is It So Hard?’ on which Hudson ponders
why it’s so hard to love her unreliable fella, but also why it’s
so goddamn hard to leave the slippery sod. Unfortunately,
no clear answer is forthcoming. I Remember Me is that kind
of album. NL
Fortunately, Team Spears has
brought an A-game to Femme
Fatale. Max Martin and Dr.
Luke, the Swedish hit-makers
responsible for trailers ‘Hold It
Against Me’ and ‘Till The World
Ends’, helm half the album, with
the remainder divvied up between
‘Toxic’ duo Bloodshy & Avant,
Brit whizz Fraser T. Smith and the
ubiquitous will.i.am. Collectively,
they supply glorious choruses, big
beats and production that does
more than wink in the direction
of dubstep. Of course, it’s all as
deep as Jayden James’s paddling
pool, with almost every song
ticking the box marked “about
dancing”, “about getting off” or
both. But there’s also an intriguing
homoerotic undertone…
Britney’s a sucker for a criminal
type; she ogles a body on ‘Drop
Dead Beautiful’ that looks “so sick I
think I caught the flu”, and ‘Sealed
With A Kiss’ finds her beckoning
the object of her seedy eye into
the club’s back room. No wonder
she’s launching Femme Fatale
with a one-off TV gig live from The
Castro in San Francisco. NL

FILMS OUT IN APRIL
THE BEST DVDS
APRIL ’11
LOOSE CANNONS
A charming comedy drama
from Italy that puts a spin on
the usual ‘coming out’ story.
Tommaso returns home to his
family to break the news to
them that he is gay. He knows
that his father – the patriach
of a successful pasta company
– will take the news badly.
What he doesn’t reckon upon is his older brother, Antonio,
deciding to come out first – making Tommaso think twice
about making his own revelation. If papa freaks out about
having one gay son, how will he feel about two?

Paul has visions of the twin
that he cannot find. The
visions intensify during sex
– when he is haunted by
images of a masked, sinister
stranger. In a quest to find out
what happened to his brother,
he seeks out increasingly
dangerous sex, and is lured
into the world of porn. An imaginative, but somewhat
slow-paced, British gay horror/thriller.

BURLESQUE
If this didn’t tempt you at the
cinema, then now is your
chance for a small screen
viewing of Cher and Christina
Aguilera shaking their booties
in possibly the campest hit
movie of 2010. If you loved
Showgirls then you’ll love this
tale of a cash-strapped club,
owned by veteran hoofer Tess (Cher), who hires smalltown blow-in Ali (Aguilera), to join her line-up of girls.
OK, the script is skimpier than some of the outfits and it’s
something of a musical mess… but fun, nonetheless.

A low-budget but engaging
and charming tale that
follows the interconnected
lives of four 20-something
New Yorkers. Bridget is a
womanising lesbian who lives
with best friend, Trip. They run
into childhood sweethearts
Greg and Molly, and to the surprise of both women,
Bridget and Molly are drawn to one another. Slowly, they
build up to having an affair, leaving fiancé Greg devastated.
There’s nothing that original on offer here, but this remains
a well-paced, well-acted and believable drama.

Betty Blue Eyes will be opening this month (following
previews) at the Novello Theatre in London’s West End.
Fortuitously timed, this Cameron Mackintosh-produced
musical is about a royal wedding, adapted from the hit 80s
Alan Bennett-penned film A Private Function. The action
is set in 1947, in the midst of post-war austerity Britain,
following the coldest winter in decades and in the run-up
to a royal wedding. Naturally, similarities with the current
economic climate have not been missed! The tale centres
around Betty, a pig, who is being illegally reared to ensure
that the local dignitaries can celebrate the forthcoming
royal wedding with a lavish banquet, while everyone else
makes do with Spam®. The production will star Sarah
Lancashire (Coronation Street) and Reece Shearsmith (The
League Of Gentlemen). Tickets are priced £15-£62.50
www.bettyblueeyesthemusical.com
BOYS WILL BE BOYS
The beautiful, historical and
atmospheric Wilton’s Music
Hall in London’s East End
will be hosting a limited-run
of Sasha Regan’s criticallyacclaimed, all-male version of
Gilbert and Sullivan’s classic
operetta Iolanthe. Originally staged at the Union Theatre
last year, this is the second production of theirs to transfer
to Wilton’s, following the success of Pirates of Penzance.
Iolanthe is a frenetic love story involving fairies and
members of the House of Lords. It was the first Gilbert and
Sullivan opera to be staged at the Savoy Theatre; it opened
in London in 1882 and, simultaneously, in New York. This
new production updates the action to a boys’ public school.
You can catch it between 30 March and 7 May. Tickets cost
£23 (£15 previews; £18 concessions; £60 family ticket).

A Woman Alone is a new
black comedy at the Tabard
Theatre (2 Bath Road, W4). It
tells the story of a housewife
held prisoner in her own home,
driven near to madness by her
abusive relationship with a
possessive husband and the drudgery of household chores.
Will an affair with a young lover allow her to escape her
living hell? The show will star Daniela Lavender – wife of Sir
Ben Kingsley – who most recently toured Europe with the
British Shakespeare Company’s production of A Midsummer
Night’s Dream. The play has been written by Dario Fo and
Franca Rame, well-known playwrights, performers and
political activists in their native Italy.
A Woman Alone runs 30 March to 16 April. Tickets £14/£12.

LEON LAUNCHES ON OLD
COMPTON STREET
One of our favourite restaurant chains is
LEON, which is about to open its latest
branch right in the middle of gay Soho on
Old Compton Street. Traditionally, London
branches of LEON fall somewhere between
a restaurant and sandwich bar, but the
new Soho venue looks like breaking new
ground – with 49,000 sq ft of space over
two levels, offering terrace seating, a café
area, lounge and even its own cookbook
library! It will be the biggest branch of
LEON in the capital. It will be open for
breakfast, lunch and dinner.
At the new site, and across all the LEON
restaurants, you can enjoy the new spring
!&
The main dining room
cream and caper dressing (£12.50), and foie gras with pear
chutney and a generous slice of toasted brioche (£14.50).
The salmon was perfect – if a little on the small side
– and perfectly complemented by the zingy horseradish.
The slice of pale pink foie gras was marbled with fat, again
given perfect contrast by the chutney.
I followed this with roasted squab pigeon glazed in spicy
London honey butter, parmentière (a type of roast potato)
and braised peas (£24.50). The pigeon was served in a
beautifully caramelised reduction, with dainty, stuffed
drumsticks. I could have eaten a dozen of them. My
colleague plumped for the ‘fish of the day’ (market price),
which was pan-fried salmon with buttered spinach and
chervil sauce. This was a generous helping of fish, well
balanced against some perfectly cooked spinach – one of
those vegetables that it’s so easy to overcook.
We ended the meal by sharing the chef’s special – tarte
tatin for two with crème fraîche and vanilla ice cream
(£14). I’m not surprised to hear that it sells so well – it was
pretty well near perfect.
Service was attentive throughout, and – as you would
menu, which includes great tasting
dishes like the fish finger wrap finished
with fresh herb tartare, gherkins, and
cos lettuce. Another exciting new dish
is LEON’s chicken curry which is fragrant
with crunchy bamboo shoots and water
chestnuts, served with rice and slaw, and a
fresh topping of green beans, spinach and
chilli. In addition, there will be a selection
of spring soups like Magreb chicken and
the very springy pea and mint.
You’ll find the new Leon at 36-38 Old
Compton Street, London, W1D 4TT.

UPSTAIRS AT THE CAMBRIA
If you’re a fan of fine dining and
entertaining cabaret, check out Upstairs

a tremendous wine list. Our only quibble would be that
some dishes seem a little on the pricey side (coq au vin at
£19.50), but then again, it doesn’t appear like this clientele
worry too much about money. In fact, if you really feel like
pushing the boat out, to commemorate the venue’s tenth
anniversary, head chef Mickael Weiss is also offering a
special six-course menu at £46 per head.

those who want to spend a lazy Sunday
afternoon feasting on quality food and
varied entertainment – from bluesy song
to camp drag. Join Mzz Kimberley on
Sunday 3 April, when she will be joined by
Kandi Kane.
The newly refurbished function room
above the pub is a camp delight, decked
out with crystal chandeliers everywhere.
Owners Steve Riseley and Aimi Lauder
are the perfect hosts, with chef Aimi
devising a scrumptious menu that includes
plenty of Sunday roast favourites and
British classics. Doors open at 3pm and
the show commences at 5pm. Eat a late
Sunday Roast (or other menu options)
and then sit back and enjoy the show in
this polysexual, glamourous, child-free
environment. Admission is free before
4pm, then £3 after.

Celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, Coq D’Argent
may not be one of the hottest or most fashionable
restaurants in the city these days, but the fact that it
has been running so successfully for the past decade
is testament to the fact that it’s doing something right
– keeping its returning clients happy and tempting in new
custom.
The venue is operated by D&D (formerly Conran
restaurants) – the company behind similarly high-quality
establishments such as Skylon, Sauterelle, Bluebird
Restaurant and Kensington Place. Its selling point is very
much its location. On the roof of No 1 Poultry, Coq D’Argent
offers great views of the City. It boasts a stunning roof
garden and terraces – now coming into their own again
with the approaching summer. There’s an immaculately
designed dining room, as well as a bar with both indoor
and outdoor seating.
Obviously, given its location, this is a restaurant aimed
very much at City folk – with the majority of its lunchtime
and evening custom coming from the nearby offices and
banks. My colleague and I arrived on a Monday evening to
find the place comfortably busy. It’s a pity we arrived after
dark – this venue really does look its best in daylight, but
with the clock going forward, that shouldn’t be a problem
by the time you read this.
The dining room is elegant. One side of the room features
curved, polished wood walls, continuing the curve into
beige concrete for the opposite wall. It’s a post-modern
take on art deco, and it works. A camel brown carpet
covers the floor, while arty photographs of artisans and
food producers add the odd dash of colour to the walls. As
is usually the case with D&D venues, every last detail has
been attended to. Perfect pats of butter came served on
chilled discs of white marble, and we hungrily devoured
some fresh bread while perusing the menu.
As its name suggests, Coq D’Argent is French. In this
instance, French with a capital ‘F’.
Our opener was smoked salmon with blinis, horseradish

It was that time again last
month when a plethora of
phantasmagorical beauties
descended on Madame Jojo’s for
the much anticipated and much
acclaimed Miss Trannyshack
pageant. And what an eclectic
gaggle we had for 2011! From serious
tranny fodder Kirsty, 41 – a soldier
in the armed forces – to Catrina, 28,
a Filipino care assistant from Bristol
– every age, size and shape was
catered for. In fact, dear reader, should
a diversity researcher have visited they
could have filled in every tick box on
their lengthy forms with the 15 lovely
wannabe babes!
The competition consisted of two
rounds: 'sex-wear 'and 'eveningwear',
and then an interview – after which
the judges deliberated and cogitated
""
before awarding Myra Davenport
the £50 2nd runner-up prize, Lady
Muck the £100 1st runner-up prize
and the Amazonian über-glamorous
Ivana the top prize, goody-bag and
crown. Hostess Miss Dusty O kept
the ball rolling and the trannies
coming, while DJs Tasty Tim and
Lady Lloyd provided the soundtrack
to click those cha-cha heels. As
always, the glamour in the audience
easily equalled that on stage, with
dolled-up trannies rubbing shoulder
pads with sexy, tattooed muscle boys,
quirky club kids and even a bloke
with a lampshade on his head.
Another genius night... both on and
off stage!
Trannyshack runs every Wednesday at
Madame Jo Jo's, 8-10 Brewer Street,
Soho, W1.

If there is one thing we love it’s
a birthday... throw in some glitter,
sparkle, random dress-code policies,
dodgy haircuts and truly garish fabrics,
and it’s the recipe for a legendary night!
For those of you that haven’t recognised
the club from that description, we’re
talking about Gutterslut, which
celebrated its third birthday last month
at its new home in Whitechapel, Rhythm
Factory – just a hop, skip and a mince
from Brick Lane.
Hostess with the most slap on was the
unique Jonny Woo, who was working
those man-made fabrics to within an
inch of their lives, while on the decks the
biggest things to come out of Sweden
since Ikea – DJs D’Johnny and Per QX
– delivered aural handbag-trash-electro
"$
mayhem as MC Crystal punctuated
the tracks with vocal anecdotes.
As always at a Gutterslut soirée, the
crowd were a gorgeous mish-mash
of raw sex meets pearly queen, or
pound shop meets Primani, all rolled
together and sprayed with a toxic
neon car paint that’ll make your hair
fall out in the morning. Delicious!
Gutterslut returns monthly. The
'Dalston Gay Mafia', who run the
night, hadn't announced the April
date at the time of going to press,
but check the 'Gutterslut' page on
Facebook for more details or to receive
regular updates.
Invest in some make-up, get creative
with some fabric, and start planning
that look now!
DJs Per QX and D'Johnny

Erick Morillo rocks the official launch party of Pulse
Mark Ames
"&
If anyone on the London club scene
has the know-how to launch a new
super club then Mark Ames is your
man. Having run the hugely successful
XXL for the past ten years, he has plenty
of experience of running a big nightspot.
However, even his fans wondered
whether he might be biting off more than
he could chew with the launch of Pulse
– a new 5,000-mega venue beneath
railway arches adjoining Blackfriars
Bridge (SE1). The venue was formerly just
used as a storage facility, so Mark and his
team had to build the new space pretty
much from scratch. Pulse was unveiled
in March, with a soft launch thrown by
the SupermartXé team on Saturday
12 March, followed by an official grand
launch on Friday 18 March. Mark had
promised to deliver the ‘wow’ factor,
and he didn’t disappoint. Pulse is simply
enormous – split over four rooms, with
an additional ‘garden’ area. SupermartXé’s
‘Love London’ party featured DJs Nick
Tcherniak, Michael Sanchez and Aron
putting the new sound system though
its paces on the main floor, while Abigail
Bailey belted out the live PA.
The official launch then featured a
guest spot from DJ Erick Morillo. His
first London appearance in almost a
year, Morillo presided over a Subliminal
Sessions night, which easily attracted
a full-capacity, predominantly straight
crowd to check out London’s newest club.
That’s what we call arriving with style!

GET ON THE
GUEST LIST
Another legend is
rocking up for the latest
instalment of Carpet
Burn on Saturday 2 April
at The Eagle. Fabulously
back-combed Jaki
Graham of ‘Round and
Around’, ‘Set Me Free’ ,
‘Breaking Away’, ‘Could I
Be I’m Falling In Love’ fame
will be hitting the mic
in what is evolving into
south London’s premier,
monthly hipster hang-out
on a Saturday night. In
addition, the crew are
putting on a free barbecue
in the garden with
cocktails for early birds.
Carpet Burn is every first
Saturday at Eagle London,
349 Kennington Lane,
Vauxhall. Doors are open
from 9pm till 4am. Entry is
£5 before 11pm, £7 after.
London’s sexiest midweek
night Room Service
continues to attract
trashbag glitterati into the
heart of gay Soho every
Thursday night. Boasting
a super-hot crowd of
fashionistas, clubkids and
muscle boys every week,
Fat Tony, Kris Di Angelis
and Zack B mix up the
chunky house flanked by
hot go-go dancers and
drag scene-ster Jodie
Harsh and friends. Think
sweaty vibes and fabulous
lasers – all this on a
Thursday! I recommend
you arrive early to beat the
queues – this place has
surged in popularity.
Room Service is at DIU,
12-13 Greek Street, Soho.
Entry is £7 and there
are drinks deals
to midnight.

HIGHLIGHTS
KU BRITANNIA
BIGGER DICK!
Quarterly club night Dick & Fanny returns
this month… and the team are taking over
a brand new venue! After steadily building a
cult following at the Star of Bethnal Green,
the night – which is aimed equally at gay
men and women (hence the name – dick
and fanny!) – will be moving to larger
premises. The CAMP Basement can
be found at 70-74 City Road, EC1
(not far from Old Street tube), and
is large enough to accommodate a
greater number of debauched, East
End revellers. The line-up of guest
DJs will include Jim Stanton (Horse
Meat Disco, Kim Anh from LA’s leading
lesbian night, Booby Trap), Michelle
Manetti (Gay Bingo, Joiners Arms)
and Ben Addict (Megawoof, Lazy Bear
Weekend), who between them will
be spinning the irresistible D&F mix of
classic house, techno, Italo, hi-nrg
and disco.
Dick & Fanny will be back on
Saturday 16 April between 10pm
and 4am. Admission is £6 before
10pm or £7 after. The CAMP
Basement, 70-74 City Road,
London, EC1Y 2BJ.
Ali Love
In honour of the upcoming Royal Wedding, the Ku Bar venues will be engaging in a
right royal patriotic knees-up this month. They will be throwing a double weekender of
celebrations in honour of all things British over both the April Bank Holiday weekends.
At the main Lisle Street premises, you will find all three bars, on all three floors, open all
the way through until 3am. They’ll be celebrating the Queen’s birthday on 21 April, Easter
weekend on 22-24 April, St George’s Day on 23 April, the Royal Wedding on 29 April and the
May Bank Holiday Celebrations on 1 May. You can expect an itinerary of non-stop, frivolous
fun, including traditional street parties (with associated street closures) at all three venues
(Ku Bar Lisle Street, Ku Bar Frith Street and Candy Bar Carlisle Street), sing-alongs, tombola and tiaras, afternoon tea parties with strawberry and cream shots.
www.ku-bar.co.uk
CasaLatina is the name of a new Latin/Brazilian
themed night coming to Fire in Vauxhall this
month. Celebrating the ties between Brazil and
London (and the large number of gay Brazilians
who reside in the capital), the organisers
promise that this will be an authentic club night
‘created by Brazilian people, for Brazilian people’.
CasaLatina will aim to showcase hot dance shows
Ana Paula
and Latin-inspired dance beats. The event will
take place over Fire’s Main Room, plus the Lounge
and Mirror Arch. After the success of her set at the As One NYD party, special guest Ana
Paula will be flying over again from Brazil to rock the main floor. She’ll be supported by
DouGuim, Mikey D and Junior. The Lounge area will be hosted by Ku Bar, with DJs Dusty
O and DMS spinning the commercial pop sounds, while over in Mirror Arch ‘Rio Funk’ will
be the order of the night, courtesy of DJs Carioca and Thais Carioca, plus Latin house from
Ariel (see his My London interview on pages 6-7).
CasaLatina is on Saturday 16 April from 11pm till 6am at Fire on South Lambeth
Road, Vauxhall. Advance tickets cost £10 from www.clubtickets.com. It’s
£12 on the door with a flyer before 12.30am, or more without.

FEEL THE LOVE
Evolving into one of our favourite monthly outings, TheMenWhoFell2Earth will be
returning for another intimate, sweaty shindig at East Bloc on City Road on Saturday 2
April. This month, the boys are very excited to be hosting a special appearance from oneman pop/disco/funk phenomenon Ali Love (pictured), who will be presenting his own
live club show. Mr Love has already released a string of stunning singles, and his tunes are
always favourites at TheMenWhoFell2Earth, so this promises to be a very special occasion.
You can also expect the residents to be laying down their usual selection of quality ‘punkfunk, dirty disco and remixed rock’n’roll’ – all the way through till 6am the next morning.
Meanwhile, in Room 2, the special guests will be Laurence & The Machine (Popstarz) and
Krotrot (of Black Balloon)
You’ll find East Bloc at 217-219 City Road, EC1V (three minutes from Old Street tube).
Admission is £5 before midnight, £7 after (£5 after 3.30am).

LOVE SHACK
The brilliant Guy Williams is all set to launch another
new night this month. The Shack is a new musical
project from Guy and Dan Williams. The duo have signed
to Faze Records to release Shack tunes, and will be
celebrating with a Shack launch bash at East Bloc (217
City Road, E1) on Thursday 28 April – which, in case
you’d forgotten, is the night before the Royal Wedding
Bank Holiday, so you probably won’t have to worry about
work the next day (unless you happen to be one of the
Queen’s footmen...).
DJs in the main room will be Guy, DRW and Severino,
while in the Dirty Fairy room you’ll find Ben Jamin and
Ronnie King. There will also be a PA from Kathy Diamond,
performing her tracks, including ‘Whispers’ (by Aeroplane
featuring Kathy Diamond). Admission will be £5 before
11pm and £8 after. Check ‘The Shack’ on Facebook for
more details.
Guy will also be throwing his annual Black Rabbit
Easter Hop at the Mason’s Arms (58 Devonshire Street,
W1W 5EA) on Sunday 24 April. Although Black Rabbit
attracts a mainly straight crowd, it’s a definite date for
lovers of serious dance tunes. Check ‘Black Rabbit
Annual Easter Hop’ on Facebook for more info.

OUT AND OUT FIERCE
As taster of this year’s Lovebox festival (coming to
London’s Victoria Park in July), the organisers of the
event are hosting a ‘Lovebox Pop-Up’ this month – three
nights of clubbing at the East End’s über hip Village
Underground (21-23 Apr). Incorporating live music,
club events, film, fashion and art, the weekend will
feature a wide range of artists and contributors.
In the same way that the Sunday of the main Lovebox
festival has a decidedly gay flavour, the Saturday night
event (23 April) at Village Underground, entitled ‘Out &
Out Fierce’, will also be aimed at your more discerning
gay punter. It will feature a line-up of DJs from Andy
Butler’s Mr INTL label, including Hercules and Love Affair
diva Kim Ann Foxman, DJ and club promoter Jim Stanton,
DJ Severino, Dan Beaumont (Dalston Superstore) and
Dave Kendrick (Macho City).

RIGHT ROYAL TAVERN
The Royal Vauxhall Tavern is never averse to throwing the
odd special event, and for April the team have organised
a one-off shindig to commemorate the Royal Wedding!
A Right Royal Affair will take place on Friday 29
April (a bank holiday), and will feature the RVT’s
own alternative street party, presided over by its own
screaming queen, Stewart Who?
“Our version of the Royal Family will be in the house to
help you make your very own Royal Wedding hats and
crowns and decorate your very own wedding cakes. Come
and have your wedding photo taken at the photo booth.”
Expect bunting, balloons, jelly, ice cream, and speeches
from celebrity guests. Doors for the ‘Right Royal Affair’
open at 3pm, with the venue’s own Alternative Royal
Wedding at 5pm. It will be followed later in the evening
by a wedding disco, provisionally entitled ‘Dancing
Queen’. Tickets cost £8, with discounted entry or free
for those in wedding dress or attired as a Royal. Money
raised on the door will go to Outrage – specifically Peter
Tatchell’s campaign for gay marriage equality.
Other events taking place at the venue this month include
the ongoing Scott Capurro’s Position, which is back
for another run each Thursday between 31 March and
5 May. Guests confirmed for this month include David
Baddiel (31 March), Mark Steel (7 Apr), Penny Arcade
(14 Apr), Amy Lamé (21 Apr) and glamour model Jodie
Marsh (28 Apr). Doors open at 7pm, with the show
commencing at 8pm. Tickets £10 (www.ticketweb.co.uk)
Both Wednesday and Friday nights feature a rotating
line-up of monthly events and special appearances.
Catch Dr Sketchy and his ‘adult’ life drawing classes on
Wednesday 13 April, followed by Frank Sanazi’s Blitz
on Wednesday 20 April – a night of “comedy, cabaret
and burlesque from the New World” from an act dubbed
by The Stage as a “brilliant Hitler/Sinatra hybrid”. This is
followed on Wednesday 27 April by Danielle Ward’s
Sideways Smile – an evening of the best in female
comedy featuring Danielle and guests.
Friday night clubs include soft rock night Speedwagon
on Friday 1 April, followed by Kimono Krush on Friday

SO YOU WANNA BE A BOXER?
Pink Collar Boxing definitely promises to be something a little bit different to other
scene nights out there… being the UK’s first ‘boxing show and club night’!
The event will take place on Friday 15 April at the fabulous Scala venue in King’s Cross. The

clubbing side of the promotion, with DJs Tony English, Alessandro Londra and Ms White.
There will be a PA from Lizzie France, plus an appearance by porn star Lucas Alexander.
Pink Collar Boxing has been launched by promoter and trainer Dermot Mannion, as a
means by which gay guys can learn to box at ‘Pink Collar’ classes. The classes are designed
for everyone, but particularly those who may have felt a bit out of character in their local
gym boxing class. If you take to the sport, the opportunity to take part in boxing shows –
such as this Pink Collar Boxing event – will arise from time to time. Fourteen competitors,
who have been training with Dermot, will be taking part in the first Pink Collar event at the
Scala. You can get more details about classes at www.pinkcollarboxing.com
Doors will open at 7.30pm, with the show starting at 8.30pm. Early bird tickets cost £15

UK NEWS
EAST END PRIDE CANCELLED
A proposed East End Pride event, scheduled to take place on
Saturday 2 April, has been cancelled amidst controversy and
claims about some of those involved with its organisation.
The event had been created in response to the appearance of
stickers around Tower Hamlets claiming the area to be a ‘GayFree Zone’. The stickers also mentioned that gay people should
“fear Allah”, suggesting to some that they may have been the
work of one or more Muslim extremists. An East End Pride was
arranged by a collective of local LGBT people shocked by the
appearance of the stickers. However, since its announcement,
representatives from other groups – such as OutEast and
Rainbow Hamlets – have questioned the aims of the event,
and the political credentials of some of those involved. Despite
the EEP organisers stressing that the event was non-political,
rumours persisted that one of the organisers, as well as several
people on the group’s Facebook page, had links to the English
Defence League. After a couple of weeks of accusation, claim
and counter claim, original organiser Raymond Berry resigned
from East End Pride, after it became known that he had
formerly been active within the English Defence League. The
event was then cancelled shortly afterwards. Mr Berry has not
yet responded to news agencies requesting a comment.
In a separate development, the website Pink News reports
that an 18-year-old Asian man was arrested on 18 February
in connection with the offending stickers, but subsequently
released without charge – with the police taking advice on
whether the stickers constituted a criminal offence under the
Public Order Act.
CHRISTIAN COUPLE BARRED FROM
FOSTERING
A Pentocostal Christian couple in Derby have been banned from
fostering after they told authorities that their religious beliefs
meant that they would not be able to tell a child that being
gay was acceptable or OK. Eunice and Owen Johns were told by
Derby council in 2007 that their application to become foster
parents would not be approved, but they appealed the decision
and took their case to the High Court. However, in a landmark
ruling at the end of February, Lord Justice Munby and Mr Justice
Beeston ruled that their views could harm foster children,
saying “The equality provisions concerning sexual orientation
should take precedence.”
The Johns, whose court case was funded by the Christian Legal
Centre, said afterwards that they were extremely distressed
by the ruling. They, and their solicitor, Paul Diamond went on
to speak out against equalities laws and the Human Rights Act
and, instead of appealing the High Court decision – which they
feel would be fruitless given current laws – are planning on
asking MPs to sign an ‘Equalities and Conscience Petition’ to call
on the prime minister to ensure that laws allow Christians to
act on their consciences.
FIRE AT GAY SAUNA
Chariots sauna in Shoreditch – believed to be the largest gay
sauna in the UK – was badly damaged by fire in the early hours
of Sunday 20 March. Firefighters were called to the venue just
after 6am after a fire broke out on the ground floor of the venue
– which houses the reception area, locker rooms and TV lounge.
It’s thought that around 150 men were evacuated by the time
the firemen arrived, and no-one was injured. The London Fire
Brigade said that 30 fire-fighters took 90 minutes to get the
fire under control, but not before it had destroyed most of the
ground floor. An investigation is currently underway into the
cause of the incident, but police have said that they are not
treating it as suspicious.

MINISTER LAUNCHES
LGBT CHARTER IN SPORT
Pictured right are Sue Sanders
and Nigel Tart of LGBT History
Month, with Equalities Minister
Lynne Featherstone (centre),
who chose an LGBT History
Month sponsored event to
launch an LGBT charter in
Sport on Sunday 13 March. The
charter, which will invite national
governing bodies of sports to
commit to tackling homophobia
and transphobia and making sport
‘a welcoming environment for LGB
and T people’, was announced by the
minister as she attended a Sheffield
Eagles rugby league game at Bramall
Lane. The Eagles wore shirts with
the slogan ‘Homophobia – Tackle It’
as they played against rivals Widnes
Vikings. Ms.Featherstone said, “Sport
Lynne Featherstone (centre) with Sue Sanders and Nigel Tart
should be about what you can do,
not who you are. Too many lesbian,
gay, bisexual and transgender people
feel that the sports field is not
somewhere they can be themselves,
and that prejudice and discrimination
will mean their sexuality is always
talked about more than their
ability with a ball, bat or racket.
Homophobia and transphobia have
no place in sport and I’m delighted
that so many sporting bodies are
backing our campaign to stamp it
out at all levels; from local parks to
Olympic stadiums.”

Anton Hysén – son of former
Liverpool and Fiorentina
legend Glenn Hysén – has
announced he is gay. The
20-year-old is the first
Swedish footballer to come
out as gay. In an interview
with Offside magazine, he
said that he thought it was
“f*cked up” that no other
Swedish player had come
out yet. “I am a footballer.
And gay. If I perform as a
footballer, then I do not
think it matters if I like girls
or boys.”

John Galliano
GALLIANO SACKED
Flamboyant, acclaimed and controversial British fashion designer John Galliano has been
sacked from his position as chief designer for Paris fashion house Dior. The sacking comes
after two incidents in which he allegedly made abusive and antisemitic comments to
strangers in a café. One of the incidents was caught on video and was posted on The Sun’s
website. In the footage, the 50-year-old designer, apparently very drunk, was heard to
say “I love Hitler,” before going on to say to the customers concerned, “People like you
would be dead today - your mothers, your forefathers would be gassed.”
A lawyer for the superstar designer – now believed to be in rehab – said Galliano denied
the allegations against him.
CRICKETER STEVEN DAVIES COMES OUT
England wicketkeeper Steven Davies has revealed that he is gay, prompting widespread messages of support from his teammates
and fellow sportsmen. Surrey’s Davies, 24, who played for England during their recent Ashes tour of Australia, is the first active
professional cricketer to confirm he is gay. In an interview in The Telegraph newspaper. He said that he had come out to friends
and family around five years ago, but now felt confident enough to go public.
MICHAEL STIPE TALKS SEX AND THE 80s
On the eve of the release of the latest REM album, singer Michael Stipe has given an interview to
The Observer magazine and talked frankly about his sexuality. “On a sliding scale of sexuality I’d
place myself around 80-20, but I definitely prefer men to women. I had sex with, and enjoyed sex
with, women until I met someone that I fell in love with, and who is now my boyfriend.”
The singer said it was difficult to be open about his sexuality during the 80s when AIDS first
appeared – he says he and many other men of his generation were very scared about the disease.
“It was a very difficult time to be honest and frank about one’s sexuality. And a very scary time for
people like myself, who were not able to be tested anonymously without some concern.”

MANAGER OF KAIROS
IN SOHO, TALKS ABOUT
HOW THE CURRENT
ECONOMIC CLIMATE IS
PROMPTING MANY LGBT
CHARITIES TO RE-THINK THEIR STRATEGIES…
Kairos in Soho (KiS) has recently completed The
London Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Trans (LGBT)
Voluntary and Community Sector Almanac, which
gives a window into the varied and diverse world
of ‘LGBT organising’. We were struck by two things:
first, the enormous range of work by independent
LGBT organisations that is under threat in the
current political and economic climate; and
second, the different ways that we can be L, G, B,
and/or T in different contexts, at different times,
within complex and
mixed identities.
Eighty-nine
THE CURRENT
independent LGBT
organisations in DISMANTLING OF
London served
THE VOLUNTARY
over 200,000
people last year; SECTOR IS GOING
more than half are
unfunded. What TO RADICALLY
funding exists is AFFECT LGBT
held by the largest
15 organisations, GROUPS
which mainly
provide services.
Looking through a 1993 copy of Lesbian London,
the back pages contain contact details for 63,
specifically lesbian, political, activist and support
groups; in the Almanac there are now four groups
solely focused on women.
The current dismantling of the voluntary sector
is going to radically affect LGBT groups. But
something else has gone on over the past two
decades: a more gradual erosion, driven by the
changing funding climate, which has affected how
we are positioned as LGBT people.
Less well known is the work done by independent
LGBT organisations and individuals. Almanac
contributor,Jay Bernard asks, “what happens if we
move away from the obsession with health and
safety or the night club mentality? What happens
if we look at the average teenage bedroom for
inspiration? What happens if we go inside a queer
person’s wardrobe or look at their bookshelf?”
If there is an upside to the current destruction it is
perhaps a potential revival of creative, grassroots,
community activism, with all of us onboard.
Kairos in Soho (KiS) is a community development
charity exploring and celebrating the diverse lived
experience of LGBT people.

STUDENT PRIDE 2011
This year’s national Student Pride event is set for the last weekend of April, with a threeday mix of partying and political debate. It follows the success of last year’s event, which
attracted over 1,000 LGBT students from all over the country.
“We are so excited about the success of last year’s Student Pride and can’t wait for this year’s
event to happen,” said Jack Snell, Vice Chair of National Student Pride. “We’re happy to say
that the event gets bigger and better each year.”
Sponsored by Ernst & Young, the Pride weekend kicks off on Friday 29 April with an
official pre-pride party at Revenge nightclub, with the main event taking place at Oceana on
Saturday 30 April. The Saturday daytime event – from 1 until 5pm – features a ‘Question
Time’-style political debate. Well-known names are expected on the panel, details of whom
will be revealed on the Student Pride website closer to the time. There will be live music,
stalls, food and local groups taking part. Admission to Oceana will be free (for admission
charges for other events, check www.studentpride.co.uk). After the Oceana event, there
will be an official pub crawl around the Brighton gay scene, followed by a party at Revenge
nightclub. Many of those attending are expected to then take part in the Stonewall Equality
Walk on Sunday. (www.stonewall.org.uk).

01 RUBBER DUCK
It would be remiss to not
include at least one product in
honour of the royal wedding this
month. Bearing an unsettling
resemblance to Her Maj, despite
its avian form, this cute rubber
duck is a regal replacement
for real-life royalty if you don’t
feel like joining the wedding
procession on the big day.
02 TRAY
Borough Market’s discarded
cardboard boxes and sodden
crates inspired designer Andrew
Tanner to create this fabulous
fruit bowl. Already regarded
as a modern classic, there are
practical benefits to its structure
too – fruits stay fresher longer if
they don’t touch each other when
stored together.
RRP £8.50

03 ROCKING CHAIR
Long associated with knitting
spinsters, the humble rocker has
been brought back to life with
this sleek design. Moulded from
polished plastic, this brightly
coloured version is a youthful
interpretation of the cosy classic,
and is a design based on the 1948
RAR chair by Charles Eames.

04 NEEDLEPOINT CUSHIONS
If these needlepoint cushions
seem more manly than most, it’s
because they were embroidered
by UK prison inmates as part
of the Fine Cell Work charitable
initiative, implemented to teach
prisoners life skills and a sense of
self-esteem. The clever designs are
both witty and poignant.
RRP Love Eagle Cushion from £95;
Calendar Cushion from £75
05 LEONARD PFEIFER DESK
Finished with a walnut veneer,
this sturdy design elicits a
definite finesse. The wood will be
gradually bleached by sunlight,
while the stylish, pull-out leather
writing surface should soften the
blow when you’re filling out your
tax returns.
RRP £495
www.heals.co.uk
06 SHOAL CHANDELIER
Not just a lighting fixture, this
intricately cast chandelier is a
definite talking point. Constructed
to replicate the bait-ball
phenomenon (where a shoal of
fish masses to protect against
predators), the Dominic Bromley
design is made from delicate bone
china here in England.
RRP from £1,634
www.within4walls.co.uk
07 JOCKER THROW
Whether draped over a sofa or
spread over the grass, this throw
is undeniably a comfy and cosy
accessory. Though stylish and
practical,it doesn’t come cheap:
the high price may be because it
carries the Missoni name.
RRP £216
www.amara.co.uk
08 BONUS CUTLERY SET
Spring’s warmer climes inspire
London’s gays to make tentative
forays into city’ parklands.
Whether Hampstead Heath or
London Fields, April’s succession
of bank holidays are designed
for socialising al fresco. Grab this
cheap cutlery set and make a
meal of it.

REFINED NEW ENGINE

LAMBO WATCHES RUN FAST
High-end designer and sport watches natural
bedfellows with fast cars. So, it
will be no surprise that the
most desirable watches
tend to feature often in the
accessories catalogues of
most dream cars.
There are the classic
driving watches
such as the Chopard
Mille Miglia, Ferrari
by Officine Panerai,
Rolex Daytona and
the Hublot King Power
Tourbillon Senna. And
now, Italian design and
styling house Tonino
Lamborghini has added to
that list with two gorgeous
timepieces: the sporty
Spyder1000 and the classic
1947. Drawing inspiration from the charismatic brand’s
history and style, Tonino Lamborghini’s latest Swissmade chronographs complement the “Puro Talento
Italiano” design epitomised by the cars’ Raging Bull
emblem. The Spyder1000 range’s analogue Swiss-made
mechanism, striking bezel colours and carbon-fibre
strap resembling a tyre tread will appeal to sporting
guys while the 1947 collection ranges from simple
classic lines to the sophisticated Power Reserve and
Automatic Retrograde models, all in polished steel case
and bezel.
Prices: from £980

WORDS BY ADRIAN FOSTER/DRIVELINES
SUPER COOPER
This is the new BMW 1-series M Coupé, and, after
months of tantalising teases we’re finally getting to
see Beemer’s new baby. Under the bonnet of the BMW
1-series M Coupé is a six-cylinder engine; but purists
should be kept happy that it’s still rear-drive and is only
available with a manual gearbox.
On sale in May, the engine will be the same as the
135i’s – right down to the twin turbos. However, an
engine revamp and extra boost send power spiralling to
a scary 350bhp. All that ‘grunt’ in a small coupé bodyshell is kept in check by a limited slip differential and
sticky Michelin Pilot Sport rubber. Note the butch body
kit too, with bulging front and rear bumpers and rear lip
spoiler, plus the trademark quad exhausts, aerodynamic
door mirrors and 19-inch alloy wheels. White, black and
orange are the only paint colours available.
Price: from £39,999 OTR

If you’re thinking of taking a spring break, then follow
in the footsteps of top London club Lovechild, which
will be throwing a couple of lavish international parties
over the next couple of months. The Lovechild crew
will be hosting a night at the Delice Dream Festival
in Barcelona, a circuit-style event from 16-22 April,
featuring 12 parties over five days all under the Spanish
sun at Calella, just north of Barcelona. The organisers
have taken over a whole hotel and are selling 1,000
tickets for this spring party. Brands hosting parties will
include Lovechild, WE Party (Madrid), Muccassassina
(Rome), GMF (Berlin), Fly (Toronto), Spirit Of Star
(Paris), Aussiebum (Sydney) and Macho Sauna
(Brussels), among others. A five-day hotel booking costs
from €370 per person, which includes free entry to all
parties. Full details at www.delicedream.com
In May, Lovechild will be hosting a major pool party at
Eilat Pride. Taking place on the
banks of the Red Sea, it runs
from 12-15 May. Organisers
are expecting over 4,000
people from all over the world to descend on Eilat,
Israel’s southernmost resort, for this weekend. The festival
coincides with the Eurovision Song Contest, and will
feature live screenings and the participation of Dana
International, Israel’s 1998 Eurovision winner. Events
take place at the Princess Hotel, a luxury, self-contained
resort on the shores of the Red Sea, which will host
the official gay pride event: an eight-hour party with
internationally-renowned DJs Ana Paula (from Brazil) and
Luis Erre (from Venezuela) and live music from Epiphony.
In addition, festival participants can enjoy day trips to the
Dead Sea, Jerusalem and local tours of Eilat and the Arava
Desert, visits to the Dolphin Reef (swimming/diving
with dolphins), the Underwater Observatory, Kings City
(theme park) and Timna Park (site of King Solomon’s
mines), as well as cruises on the Red Sea.

LAS VEGAS NOBU
Caesars Palace has teamed
up with Nobu Hospitality to
launch the first-ever Nobubranded hotel, restaurant and
lounge. The two companies have agreed to develop the
world’s first Nobu Hotel – an exclusive hotel tower with
the first Nobu restaurant and lounge on the Las Vegas
Strip. Under the plan, the interior of the Centurion Tower
at Caesars Palace will undergo a multi-million dollar
renovation to create the Nobu Hotel within the resort.
The 180-room Nobu Hotel will feature 16 suites and a
penthouse with a stylish interior design that showcases
natural materials, fused with Nobu’s signature Japanese
elegance. Nobu Hotel guests will enjoy private check-in
and the unique benefit of room service from Nobu’s
acclaimed culinary team.

VIRGO
You need more fun in your life,
Virgo. You take things far too
seriously and, quite frankly,
you’re starting to bore the
pants off some people. Start
by doing things you like, not
just agreeing to what everyone
wants to do. If friends are
reluctant, then perhaps it is time
to get new friends!
23 SEP-22 OCT
ARIES
LIBRA Kristen
Stewart
Life feels like one big juggling
trick at the moment, Libra
– but you need to keep those
balls moving! Continue to be
patient, consistent and diligent
in work and relationship matters.
Influential people are judging
you and the eventual outcome
will have a very big impact on
your future.
22 DEC-19 JAN
Discover fresh pleasures,
CAPRICORN Capricorn. You’ve been doing
the same old stuff for so long
that it’s becoming stale. Book yourself in for something you’ve
always dreamed of doing. It will be even better if you can drag some
pals kicking and screaming to join you; but if not, embark on your
own personal adventure. New friendships are waiting to be made.
22 NOV-21 DEC
SCORPIO
SAGITTARIUS
Being reliant on others is going
to cause big problems this
month, Scorpio. Learn to stand
on your own two feet and take
back control of your life – before
you forget how to do so. Yes, it’s
scary, and you may make some
mistakes at first, but you’re a big
boy now, so go to it. Small steps
forward are the key.
Take better care of yourself,
Sagittarius. You’ve been so
distracted that it’s starting to
take its toll. Even if it’s a case
of booking some days off to
do nothing but relax, you need
to do it. Treat yourself to some
pampering, a detox or even a full
body, hot-stone massage. You
won’t regret it.
20 JAN-18 FEB
It may be a case of ‘too little
late’ on this occasion,
AQUARIUS too
Aquarius. As a consequence of
your procrastination, an opportunity has slipped away and is now
beyond your grasp… for the time being, anyway. Learn from your
mistake and move forward, making the most of opportunities as
they present themselves. Don’t afraid to be bold!

PISCES
ARIES
TAURUS
GEMINI
CANCER
LEO
You’re blaming the wrong
people for the wrong reasons,
Pisces. Determine why you
take out your bad moods
and frustrations on the ones
that love you the most. If you
keep taking pot shots at those
closest, they’ll put distance
between themselves and you.
And where will you be then?
'$

Aries people tend to be
adventurous, courageous,
impulsive and dynamic
– hardly words that seem
associated with Bella Swan
from the Twilight movies.
However, if applied to the
actress that plays her – Kristen
Stewart – then it makes
more sense. Kristen has the
typical self-reliance of an
Aries: a forthright nature – as
demonstrated in some press
interviews. Look out for her
again in Twilight: Breaking
Dawn Part 1 – which will be
out later this year.
23 OCT-21 NOV
You need to plug yourself back
into the loop, Aries. You are
failing to spot too much that
is happening right under your
nose. There may be some people
who have been taking advantage
of this to get up to no good
behind your back. If you have
suspicions, then now is the time
to air them.
Don’t be cynical about someone
who is showing you attention
– even if you consider them to
be out of your league. Put aside
preconceptions; accept the
attraction is genuine. Don’t play
it cool – treating this one mean
won’t have the desired effect.
Just try to go with the flow and
see where it takes you.
Though you’ve struggled with
some difficult challenges
recently, good news is definitely
coming. This will result in an
easing of the pressure you’ve
been feeling of late. Keep
positive, upbeat, and ready for
change. You are owed a bit of
luck, and some is due to come
your way.
Having people who lean on
you for a bit of support is one
thing, but allowing people
to bleed your goodwill dry is
another thing entirely. It’s OK
to say ‘no’, Cancer. If you receive
an angry reaction then you
may have revealed that person
for who they really are – and
that is no bad thing.
You need a huge clear out, Leo.
All the junk that’s weighing
you down in life has to go, be
it the stuff sitting about in your
wardrobe that you’ll never
wear again or that idiot partner
who does nothing but bring
you both down. It’s time to be
ruthless, Leo; opportunities are
passing you.
