Books, booze and buxom drag

What a fab day yesterday! I went along to Prowler in Soho to listen to Paul Burston reading from his best-seller The Gay Divorcee, knowing that quite a few people on MySpace were also going to be there to give support.

Read my review on Amazon

I got chatting to Clayton and boyf Jorge, "Dexter Clark - Celebrity Hairdresser" (who is working on a one-man show, coming to a theatre near you soon), and met up with Ange, Tony, Yvonne, Roland and Dino.

There weren't that many other people apart from MySpacers in the audience, but as it was such a scorching day I had no doubt that most queens would be sunbathing somewhere...

So, once Paul had read one of the more salacious pieces from his book (appropriate really - the blow-by-blow account of an orgy, in a setting surrounded by posh pants and poppers), and Yvonne had presented Paul with a chocolate champagne bottle, everyone who hadn't already got a copy had their books signed, and some klutz managed to break a camera (me - oops, sorry Tony!) we decided the best option was to troll off to Tesco for booze and join the shirtless hordes (and Ginger Dave) in Soho Square.





After an hour of gossip, sunshine and "spot the hairdresser", Ange had to go but the rest of us decided to catch the last part of the drag show at Halfway to Heaven. And what good timing! We caught Mrs Moore's last two numbers - fab as always - and the Abba/Erasure finalé from Crystal and Kelly, which is guaranteed to put everyone in a good mood.

Not content with leaving it there, I ended up joining Tony again and Grumpy later on for a few bevvies and more drag in The Old Ship in Limehouse. We had thought Yvonne and Dino would join us, but evidently the journey to the wilds of the East End was a step too far...

All in all a grand day out, Gromit!
