This'll be the last time I ever do your hair


I'll have a large gin in that, please.

Oh yuk! Back to work again. At least it's only for another four days...

Meanwhile, one of our "house fave" bands here at Dolores Delargo Towers the Scissor Sisters are back (minus darling Ana Matronic, admittedly), and on tour in the UK (with rave reviews). We unfortunately missed their headline concert at the O2 (aka "the Millennium Dome") last Friday - understandably; tickets there are extortionate! - but at least we have happy memories of seeing them at a far more manageable-sized venue Koko in Camden way back in 2006 [filmed for MTV, no less - and I won free tickets for it in a draw!]...

As part of the hoo-hah surrounding the 2025 tour [organised, as it is, to mark the 20th anniversary of the release of their debut album], the scalliwags have uploaded this, an alternative video - that I certainly never saw before - for their first-ever hit, and it is faboo!

All hail, Scissor Sisters!

    1. It is a rather good reminder of just how good the Scissor Sisters were/are!

      As for the rest of this week - it's forecast to be wet and miserable here all day today, but the weekend's supposed to be warm and dry again, so there's always something to look forward to... Jx

    2. Jake Shears could turn my head.
      Meanwhile, it's lashing down here, which is confusing the dog as it's mostly been sunny since his arrival. He's going to have a boring day today, though he did manage an early walk.

    3. Mr Shears and "head" are indelibly associated in my mind 😜!

      Barney is going to have to get used to lashing rain in Devon... Jx

  2. Great video. Saw Jake Shears in Cabaret and love him even more now... and he got even hotter.

    1. Ah, yes, Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club - another show we'd love to see [and particularly wanted to go when Jake was in it], if the seat prices weren't so prohibitive! Jx

  3. I would love to see the Scissors Sisters live! But, you know, people, prices, crowds, travel logistics, people etc. etc...

  4. Fab video
    It was amazing to them in in concert and in such a fab venue too.
    A treasured memory.

    1. I will never forget being splashed with drips from Jake's arse when he tipped the bottle of water over himself! I never washed that shirt... Jx
