I love the people of Budapest...


amazing party people. Very much up for it!

Was one of my favorite gigs ever. I even fell into the trap of crowd participation as I was enjoying it so much...and they went with it all. Excellent!!

Eve Massacre ripped it up and Popbitch played some proper party tunes, such a fun night.

Got up late so didn't have time to go to a thermal bath but managed to get a langos and wander around. Getting home was a bit of a nightmare.

Anyhoo, here are some
Pics of Budapest and Trade .

This week is full on panto rehearsals and Whitney Houston Trannyshack on Wednesday.


Right..got work to be getting on with

Tranny Olympics, Breast Cancer event, Super Model and Budapest

Tranny Olympics was messssy!!I arrived to see guess the weight of the Tranny which followed with a Tranny wet tshirt competition, a race outside the Macbeth and Kat Heath tearing it up music wise.
My set was cut a bit short (the lady behind the bar is tough about closing....her watch conveniently being 5 mins fast) but the kids danced to my mix of rave, pop, electro and a few bootlegs so all good.
Frustrating that when I'm mixing on my own decks at home, the mixes are spot on but when I work with decks I'm unsure of, tend to go for the stop/start DJ technique.All about the tunes at the end of the day though eh?

This Wednesday I'm performing at this for charideee


then a few doors down to Punk to play music to have sex in the bogs and slash the seats to


Weekend, I'm off to perform in Budapest.

Being an artist...

fucking sucks.

I work tirelessly and am never happy with what I do.

Have recently applied to numerous art and queer cultural events only to be told what I do isn't appropriate.

I don't expect to get accepted for everything but when I see the shite they put on, makes me feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall for no reason.

I'm attempting to bridge a gap between fine art and entertainment. I keep getting told I'm not allowed to do this and have to be more' fine art'.
To me that reads....separatist, elitist and snobbery. Only attempt to communicate to appeal to the well read and educated.
Art for ALL I say.

Really don't know why I bother.

Last nights show went well in the end though I may change a few things. The medley at the end didn't quite work and would adjust a few things but it was well recieved.
I will perform it again (if I get the chance....)

Aaaaargh!!

Nonstop Performing Weekend in Wigs

Recently, I've been applying to perform at art and gay culture type nights and events and being knocked back continually.
Is it because I'm a woman? How many women regularly perform in the British gay/arts scene? Pam Ann and Amy Lamé are the only two I can think of.
When I lived in Austria, my Tranny with a Fanny lark got me noticed, here, it seems to be more of a hindrance.
I don't think I'm amazing by any means, but know I put a bloody good show on. It's very disheartening especially when I see what dull crap is being put on.
It makes me stronger yes but fucking annoying non the less.
I'll always want to perform in both the straight and gay scenes but its frustrating being kicked in the fanny by your own. If you know what I mean.

Another thing that gets on my tits is the queer lady mags having no interest to the point of being snubbed. Maybe it's because I don't conform to a lesbian 'box' or strum on a guitar going 'ooooh I want me Birckenstocks back but the bitch took them awaaaaay"?
I'm no role model or spokesperson (as I identify as queer, not gay per se) but I do offer an alternative.

On a lighter note....

I'm gonna be on the breakfast show for BBC London Radio this Saturday morning (22/09/07)
How amusing to get a spot on the BBC….with my reputation.

7-9am
Tune into 94.9 FM (for London based folk) or go to

http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/radio/
.

Call in, ask me anything. I'd like to be cheeky but guessing it being the morning and the British Broadcasting Corporation, I might have to behave myself.


Yesterday's Fashion East Show was interesting. Stand out was Noki's NHS project (Noki's House of Sustainability). Incredible and original stuff put together without the pretension that often goes with fashion. JJ is a lovely and unasuming fashion person and deserves the notoriety he's sure to get after this show.

I've only done two days of London Fashion Week and I'm pooped! All that free booze….and no food (its fashion darrrrlink…people don't eat). I really don't know how people manage it for a whole week here... then go to Milan and Paris. Too much.

Some of the models were so emaciated, I wanted to chuck pies at them with a catapult.
And for some reason at the Giles Deacon party last night-there were a lot of screaming girls and one in the toilets demanding a note so she could get coke up her beak. Dear oh dear. Where's the mystery eh?

Got lots of free makeup and bits n bobs which is always nice but fashion really isn't my bag y'know. It's nice to hang around on the outskirts and watch it all going on but not something I'd ever want to be involved in.
I certainly have an interest in glamour but not so much in the industry......Unless I was someones muse and they wanted to make me fabulous frocks.
