Well it’s the end of what should have been a short week but due to workloads has been quite buggin, but all was saved last night with boo taking me to see the amazing Manic Street Preachers (for free!!) they were fantastic, it was the 1st night of a 3 night run at the Camden Roundhouse. They have just released their new album "Journal for Plague Lovers", the lyrics for the tracks of this album have been compiled from notes left by band member Richey Edwards who mysteriously disappeared on 1st february 1995, the gig started with the band playing the new album from start to finish followed by a short interval and then a greatest hits set which featured all my faves including my all time fave song "Motorcycle Emptiness" - such a great live band!! Cheers Boo!

I am so sick of hearing about Susan Boyle (rosemary west) , yes she has a great voice but people we have heard her sing TWICE! that’s all, and what can the future hold for her, yes we can listen to her sing all the time, but have you seen her in interviews and heard her talk, I believe she may have slight mental health problems, maybe she can just be one of those singers who releases albums, does the occassional tour and then disappears again? Also in reality TV news, Big Brother is back next week and I am obviously very excited at the prospect of a bunch of total losers being thrust into the world of celebrity, infecting magazine covers wherever they go, bunch of money grabbing bastards in a house - it will be confusing whether we are watching Big Borther or Parliament TV.

God bless Kerry Katona, on GMTV this morning discussing her appearance on "This Morning" where phil and fern asked her if she was drunk - get over it girl, yeah maybe it could have been your medication, but you sounded like a drunk chav in doncaster on a saturday night, am surprised you didn’t pull your kecks down and do a jobbie on the coffee table, Katona's excuse is the medication for her bi-polar disorder, Stephen Fry also has bi-polar disorder - I don’t think I need to add anything.

Well I may have to start watching Eastenders, they have just announced a gay storyline with a "controversial" twist, basically a new character is going to have a gay affair with the albert square gay bike Christian Clarke (think he is Jane Beale's brother) anyways the new character is MUSLIM "shock, horror!" - the storyline will kick off soon, and I am just waiting for the line when someone walks in on them and says "no this cant be happening, you are christian and you are muslim" yay to the gays!

Well I have major work to do so I guess all that’s left is…..

THE IMAGINARY MEN OF PIPPY'S BOUDOIR!

Well I almost couldn’t think of one today, think I am losing my touch with all these imaginary men! but then I remembered watching Guy Ritchie's film RocknRolla and although the majority of my attention was given to Gerard Butler, there was a gay aspect to this film that cant be ignored, handsome bob was the gay characters name and he was played by the lovely Tom Hardy, check it! he also has the sexiest speaking voice I have heard in a long time






Enjoy the sun motherfuckers

Well what a lovely/random weekend (I know it's wednesday but I been busy)

Friday night I went over to the lovely Tom and Mal's for a gorge dinner and muchos wine, great to catch up. Saturday a mad dash into town as my gorgeous and fabulous friend Miss Dan Jackson kindly sent me 3 free pairs of Monkee Jeans and I needed a new top or 2 to go with them, then a mad dash back home before meeting Maria, Gabe and Jason for wholesome food and even more wholesome rose wine in Gordon Square. Closely followed by a night out in Camden with James and Jim, I stayed at their flat in Kentish Town as getting home was not immediately possible. Woke up to a beautiful, scorching hot day so we headed back into Camden (a bit like returning to the scene of the crime) and had a summer mixture of drinks outside the Edinboro Castle pub, far too many good looking men in one space.

Sunday night was spent with fabulous Oliver at a rather random but fun Drag King event near St Pauls and then monday met up with Clare and Glenn for a nice walk in the sun followed by pints of cloudy cider, yum!! I must attempt to give my withering liver a rest this week! As friday was also pay day I paid Oliver for our trip to Ibiza, also booked my flights to see Tony and Anna in Finland in August and booked tickets to see one of my favourite bands who have just rather quietly reformed - Skunk Anansie! woo!!

Now it's back to work and the sun has disappeared but only for today allegedly, there really is not that much to report on the celeb gossip front sadly, but as always there are rumblings in the gay world, well more like an explosion of anger in California - Proposition 8 (the ban on gay marriage in California) was upheld yesterday, angry protests took place across the state last night. This is a major setback for gay equality and basic human rights, shame on you! Although the 18,000 gay couples that got married before the ban will remain married in the eyes of the law, speaking about this, Out lesbian singer Melissa Etheridge said "So, will anyone be sleeping better tonight? Those full of hate and fear will surely be disappointed that 18,000 same sex couples will be living in wedded bliss [...]. That’s really going to drive them crazy.”
Etheridge went on to tackle the matter of the differences in rights for married and unmarried same-sex couples, adding: “Then there are those of us who still dangle in 'domestic partnership'. We can adopt our own children, but we can't bring our partners, who might be citizens from out of the country, here. We can't file joint tax returns. I could go on.
“How do I explain this to my children? Well, you know Ellen? She is married but Mommy and I are not.”
Looking towards the future, she concluded: “I am hopeful as I see more and more states turn to the inevitable future of equality, California will get there. Change takes time.”

i could not agree with Jarvis Cocker more - talking about camera phones about concerts

Cocker said: "People feel the need to film events on their phones so they can relive it later. It drives me insane at concerts. It's just happening, innit? Why not just look at it?

"It seems stupid to have something happening in front of you and look at it on a screen that's smaller than the size of a cigarette packet."

He added: "If anything, it undermines the experience because it seemed like a really good moment and now I can see it were crap. It's like wedding videos.

"A wedding should be a magical day because of the personal emotions of the people involved. When you see it with that taken away, just the bare facts of it, it's just some people standing around in a room getting p**sed."

here here!

Pay day friday, bank holiday weekend - does it get better than this? I think not!

So Michael Jackson has postponed his first few london concerts as there is not enough preparation time to get the show ready, didn’t anybody think about that first? I must say the media coverage has been ridiculous - headline in one london paper "jackson axes five shows", well that’s just blatantly untrue, he has postponed them not cancelled them, who pays these people to just make shit up? I would not mind actually seeing the show, just to say I had been but apparently jackson has a clause in his ctontract about the minimum amount of time he has to be on stage….13 minutes, I fear the fans will be subjected to many video clips with orchestral music that all end with "king of pop" or "god" or "the nelson mandela of music" - shame.

This week BBC1 has been screening a series of plays for the daytime, the series is called "Moving On" and I caught up with a couple on i-player and I have to say they have been really impressive, mainly due to wednesdays having the rather beautiful Richard Armitage in it.



Yesterdays was about a teenage boy who has to deal with his parents finding out he is a cross dresser, it was excellent! and dare I say the rather young man was quite cute, he is far too young though (not even 20 yet!)




Well the weekend promises to be a bit all over the place, going round to tom and mal's for dinner tonight which should be lovely, meeting the lovely maria for a boozy lunch tomorrow and then sunday I am off with Oliver to a drag king event, please god don’t let me chat up a lesbian! the weather is supposed to be amazing so yay and clapping!

Just booked tickets for a gig I have been waiting years for, one of my favourite bands Skunk Anansie are getting back together for the release of their greatest hits and are playing a gig at Brixton Academy at the end of November. I have seen them live before and they are AMAZING!!! Cannot wait!

Sorry for the brief blog today but I have loads on! so without further ado lets get to the good stuff -

THE IMAGINARY MEN OF PIPPY'S BOUDOIR

Actually cant remember if this guy has been in my boudoir before, there is an occupational hazard!! anyways he was the male lead in "Lipstick Jungle" where he simply could not keep his shirt on, and here are a few exhibits as to why that might have been




he could throw me on the floor and have me begging for more, seriously I could spend the whole bank holiday just exploring his right pec!

have a wonderful, marvellous weekend

Go Cynthia!!

At the weekend Cynthia Nixon (who plays Miranda in Sex and the City) announced her engagement to her female partner at a rally for same sex marriage rights in New York, There has been a lot of anger in America about this issue but in her speech she stated the facts purely and simply with passion, its the best argyment for equal rights i have heard in a long time -

Now the main argument I hear against legalizing same-sex marriage is that in some way this will forever alter and mar traditional marriage, and what I want to know is: How? How will my girlfriend and I getting married have any affect on you and your wife, or you and your husband sitting at home? I also hear that the right to legal same-sex marriage is seen as an attack on traditional marriage, and I want to say that you are not the ones being attacked, we are.

And please believe I'm not being flippant when I say this: The right to marry is about us, it is not about you, any more than the fight for integration was about white people, or a women's right to vote was about men. It is only about you to the extent that you have to live with yourself knowing that you are depriving a significant portion of the population their basic civil rights.

you go girl!

well the other day i said that i ahd found my own poetry book and i have to admit the majority just too depressing/embarassing for consumption but here are a few that might be semi ok

Simple Daydreams

When do you know
Do you truly know
The feeling of love
A warm grasp of insanity
Covering my sight
The whispers of tenderness
Deafen all my senses
As i look on
Blind to all this gloom
The painful and the beautiful
Tremors in my heart
Or a kiss as I
Lay asleep at night
These are the thoughts
Of love that I wish
That i wish to have
A long way away
From the simple daydreams

Missing You

I may never touch you again
But I will always feel you
I may never see you again
But I will always sense you
I may never hear from you again
But I will always want you
You are in me
And I am in you
We are apart now
Yet always joined
Soul-tied lovers
Who met at the wrong time

Those Mornings

Those mornings when you said yiu'd wake me and didn't
Those mornings when i hadn't bought bread for toast
Those mornings when i hadn't yet washed the shirt that I hadn't ironed either
Those mornings when we didn't make up from our fight the night before
Those mornings of silence of fuming tea drunk from a jug because I'd left all the cups in the sink
Those mornings are the ones I remember fondly
And miss the most now you're gone

Holiday Romance?

You don't want me to love you
You don't want to get involved
You are reluctant to touch me
You don't want me to kiss you

I can't help it, the way I feel
Your attention has captured my senses
Sent me into a whirl of emotion
When I see you, I lose it all

What am I going to do with this?
I can't help but notice you
You've realised I need your love
Now trapped with no way out

I carry your picture in my heart
I hang onto every word you say
I grasp you when you're near
I hold on when you leave

You are messing with my state
I'm screwing up your mind
What else can we do?
Just carrying on with this game

We don't understand the rules
I can't remember whose turn it is
Let's take a break and have a drink
Before we continue this wonderful madness


Please remember that these are very old and allow me the rantings of a teenage homo

I sit here writing this on my lunch break with a slight feeling that I might be sick on my keyboard and for once this is not due to excessive drinking, this is due to the stench winding its way up my nose from my colleagues outrageously pungent body odour, he has been working here for a few months and his B.O is getting worse by the day. Just to say that he has now left the room and the stench is as bad as when he was sat next to me. Having coped with this for a while I decided today was the day to take action, at first I thought I would be a whimp and just pretend that I was very paranoid about swine flu and walk about with a mask on - but have you tried eating lunch with a swine flu mask on? it is not easy!

So I walked into my managers office and said "right, I am not a bitch or anything but there is an issue in the office" "what might that be?" here goes " well its ******, he frikkin stinks! and its making me gag" - no point beating round the bush. I am not sure what is going to happen now, I would have said something but its not the easiest thing to do, occassionally he will come in smelling slightly better but after a while you realise the sweat smell is still there and has just been drowned in cheap dad type aftershave, cut to me sat typing with my handbag over my nose like a grazing horse.

I shall keep you posted on this, thank god I have this blog as an outlet to my frustrations. Well another weekend has passed by and it was actually quite quiet, I hardly left the house at all, but I made up for that on saturday night, it was Boo's birthday so we hit Unskinny Bop in Bethnal Green and had a drink and a boogie. We also managed to catch most of that Eurovision thing, I have to admit that the UK entry did very well, she sang well and we got a good score …..but I still hate it.

This week is going to be fairly quiet due to the lack of cash, so lots of nights in which is needed really due to the amount of work I have on at the moment! I have sooo many reports to write and am way behind schedule. joy!

right best get on, now where did I put that gas mask??

well it appears that I spoke to soon about summer being here as this week has been decidedly dreary and the weekend is looking pretty eurgh as well, ah well not long to go til holiday time so I shall grin and bear it!

well the world is in mourning with the split between Katie Price and Peter Andre, she has hit the maldives with 2 of her kids and he has disappeared, I am just hoping that in a few weks we don’t get drowned in OK! magazine covers - her side of the story, his side of the story and then a few weeks later their reconcilliation, I really would not put it past them, years of buying into this stupid celebrity culture has taught me a thing or two about the lengths people will go to.

this weekend it's the Eurovision song contest, I myself am a bit of a bad gay in the fact that I HATE Eurovision, spending a saturday night watching a bunch of total no hopers singing songs that generally speaking will never be heard again is not my idea of fun, and I know people argue that its camp and kitsch but so are many, many better things. ah well to all the gays that love it, enjoy your night and I shall see you next week back in the real world of good music.


Since dealing with real life men doesn’t not seem to be my most accomplished skill, I shall throw myself into the
…
THE IMAGINARY MEN OF PIPPY'S BOUDOIR
am still coping with life with out TV channels mainly due to the joys of bbciplayer and channel4 catch up, but also I cant escape the success of "Britains Got Talent" and last week there was a rather appealing young man singing "aint no sunshine" - he sang it really well and even managed to get a wink from Simon Cowell, I think Simon does this to get the £ sign out of his eye, having seen someone he could possibly shape into a star/money spinner - anyway we will definitely be seeing more of Shaun Smith!!






have a lush weekend

So I am really hoping that summer is here, this weekend has been beautiful and as I sit writing this during my lunch hour, the sun is busting a gut outside, everything looks better in the sun apart from dog shit. The men seem to get more attractive in my eyes, although there are builders outside the office today and they are adjacent to repulsive, all fat backsides and reddy alcoholic faces. Anyways I am happy today and have absoilutely nothing to complain about.

Another great summer tune has just hit the airwaves and it's a corker, "When Love Takes Over" by David Guetta featuring Kelly Rowland is going to be all over the dancefloors over the next few months and therefore so am i. There are also a massive amount of funky indie tunes around as well, far too many to list them all, but am particularly loving Marmaduke Duke - Rubber Lover and Carolina Liar - Show me what I'm looking for.

This week is a mixed bag of tricks (and when I say tricks I don’t mean blowing an old guy in a back alley for cash) having a much needed night in tonight, out tomorrow and possibly wednesday night too and then it's boo's birthday at the weekend so am looking forward to a dance! workwise its another busy week, but I seem to be cooking on gas at the moment and my manager seems to be liking a lot of the ideas I am having, now if I could just get someone to write up reports for me I could retire a happy man.

No news on the man front, I am thinking of sitting on street corners and begging for a man much like a homeless person might beg for money, I am on certain website that are meant to act as an introduction to dating etc but most of them are rubbish and why I am always matched with guys that look like convicted paedophilles? Now the sun is out hopefully the nice boys will be out and I might get some action, possibly, maybe.

I found my old poetry book the other night, I started writing poetry in my early teens and that craze lasted a good few years, some of them are totally self indulgent, I am gay woe is me crap, but I am going to have a look tonight to see if any of them (there are over 100) are worthy of putting on here…..

I am a morally unacceptable satanist, pleased to meet you.

yes according to a poll that is part of the coexist index 2009, not one of the 1001 british muslims surveyed found homosexuality morally acceptable, on top of that gay activists in Russia have appealed to the president to allow the first ever gay pride march next week, this does not look likely to happen since the Moscow mayor has described homosexuals as "satanic", nice!

Well it’s not all dreary, once famous celebs whose careers have hit the skids are coming out - Kelly McGillis (the female eye candy from Top Gun) has come out and former M*A*S*H actor David Ogden Stiers who played Major Charles Winchester has also leapt out of the closet - woo hoo (kind of)

Oh Lily Allen, I do love you dearly now and cant stop listening to your album and following you on twitter but sometimes less is more on the bitching front, today you have described Cheryl Cole as a bitch. saying "She represents everything I hate. She is stupid, superficial and as ugly outside as inside." and you go on to tap the Beckhams with - "The Beckhams are sickening. Everyone knows Victoria is a monster. I'd rather shoot myself between the eyes than be a WAG" - but Lily if you could express yourself, what would you say?

Now Madonna, I know we have had our problems of late but I do still love you but sometimes you make it really hard, turning up to one of THE fashion events of the year - The Metropolitan Museum of Arts Costume Institute Gala in New York, with a hat that did not make you look dissimilar to the evil rabbit from Donnie Darko, I nearly dropped my gin when I saw this outfit




A new lead in the Madeleine McCann case - witnesses have come forward stating they saw a "very ugly man" watching the holiday apartment where the family were staying, so everyone we are looking for a very ugly man, I suggest possibly starting the search in Barnsley.

oink oink sneeze!

well the world is seemingly in rather a state of panic due to swine flu, when I first heard about it I thought "ah poor kerry katona has a cold!", it is pretty scary I have to say, last night I saw my first person wearing a face mask on the tube, I presume it was flu related and not just because they were butt ugly. the only problem now is that it's hayfever time of year and so I am probably going to be sneezing a fair amount, I don’t want people to shove me off a bus for a lil sneeze. I am glad that the guidance has been released urging people to ocver their nose and mouth when sneezing, people that were raised right are already doing this, let's hope this etiquette is catching, now if only a disease would crop up that would encourage people to say "please" and "thankyou".

In other not so great news, one of my comedy idol's passed away last weekend, the great Bea Arthur aka Dorothy from "The Golden Girls" - she was always my favourite, her ability to have an audience in stitches just by giving a look was remarkable and her timing was impeccable. I have been watching quite a lot of episodes recently and they are like wine with their age improvement. RIP Bea!

Also how could I forget to mention that my beautiful friend Emma gave birth last weekend to baby Kirsty Alice, a whopping 10lb 10oz! I always knew Emma was gifted!! Am hoping to get back to Sheffield in the next month or so!!

Ah the Bank holiday weekend is but a few hours away and I am tres excited, mainly because the weather forecast is grand and that means ……beer garden!!!! meeting up with lots of different people this weekend and also hopefully havin some time to myself to relax for a while.

THE IMAGINARY MEN OF PIPPY'S BOUDOIR!

Now, I cant claim to be a science fiction geek although I do love Star Wars, but there is a rather massive buzz surrounding the new Star Trek film, and let me tell you, my no no hole is buzzing like crazy due to the fact that Captain Kirk is played by a hottie! yes Chris Pine, nature has been a bit heavy handed on the eyebrow front but he actually makes me clap, my hands are clapping, my legs are clapping and my back bum flaps are clapping, I would even let him give me the clap, yum! clap clap clap!!



have a great bank holiday
