Yesterday, to mark what would have been the 42nd birthday of the legendary "Sinders" (who survived the Admiral Duncan bomb and was brutally murdered by a gang five years ago), his friends Alison and (our mate) Sally organised a gala evening of entertainment at Halfway to Heaven to raise money for the Albert Kennedy Trust, which supports homeless young gay people.
Appropriately titled "It's All About Sin", giving their time for free were some of the London scene's greatest drag acts including our hosts Kelly Mild and Crystal d'Canter, Kevin Cruise, Tanya Hyde, Lady Imelda, Rose Garden, Mrs Moore, Titti La Camp and Sandra - and it was one helluva show!
Among the highlights were the £100 that was popped into Imelda's bra for her to flash her "mangina" (which she did, briefly - eek!), one random bloke who raised a fortune to display his bare ass at the crowd, Rose Garden selling snogs (including a passionate clinch with lesbian Jools from QX magazine), and Mrs Moore hijacking punters for their small change on their way to the loo...
All the acts were magnificent, and early estimates reckon that well over £1000 was raised in four hours! Excellent stuff, and here are some random clips of the "ladies" themselves:
