IT HAS BEEN 14 YEARS since the sexy trio performed ‘Whole Again’ at G-A-Y and we were delighted to welcome our kittens back on stage for another session of atomic tunage. Our gurls rocked on stage wearing sexy lingerie and couture (with whips in hand) belting out their legendary ‘Ladies Night’. The sassy sisters were ‘owning’ the Fifty Shades of Grey couture while performing ‘Do it to Me Right Now’ and their unforgettable classic cover: ‘Eternal Flame’. The northern lasses got the party started, letting off ginormous party poppers before singing their other renowned hit cover ‘The Tide is High’. The gays were in awe of our pop princesses as they came to the edges of the stage to grab a few selfies; even our Jeremy Joseph took the opportunity to grab a quick crowd selfie before their final debut. The kittens definitely saved the best to last, wrapping the night up with ‘Whole Again’, which had the whole crowd swaying their arms mid-air. Jeremy presented the luscious ladies with a pre- Valentines Day bouquet of red roses for an out of this world performance. Thank you girlies for a sexy show to kick start the beginning of Valentines Day week!

CITY ROAD was the only place to be as Songs of Praise caused an unholy ruckus with three rooms of rampaging pop, R&B and underground dance tunes last weekend. Featuring the birthday debut of DJ Kris Chapman (aka Shadie Frost, resplendent in leopard skin high heels alongside dragster pal Fran Cut-Her) at the decks in room 3, a night of eclectic antics saw a heaving crowd of Eastenders throwing their hands up into the small hours at one of London’s craaaziest party joints. High-kicking highlights included the dazzling David Oh, plus the likes of the Sugarlow Boys and Neil Prince, rocking the main ﬂoor with a sensational selection of pop gems ranging from the ironic to the intoxicating. Next door saw Gordon John getting down for an intense session of euphoric house beats that had hip homos piling into the teensy-weensy room 2 until closing time. Meanwhile, such is the irresistible pull of this happening club nite, the fans were still rolling up at 2am – and with hours more antics to come through ‘til 6am, why on Earth not? Songs of Praise is back at East Bloc in March!

VAUXHALL’S MOST FAMOUS AFTERHOURS is back on the road again with a series of special events for 2015 and kicked off their out-of-this-world tour last weekend at the legendary Ministry of Sound. A night (morning?) of aural legends saw the likes of D’Johnny and Gonzalo Rivas entertain the packed main room while the bar played host to Fat Tony and Sam DMS Londt back to back with Dayne Harper. Dressed in Manuel Albarran leather and metal corsetry, a battalion of chrome-plated, gladiatorial, Gaga-esque warriors stormed the stage with military precision in one of the most spectacular looking shows we have seen in London in many a year, while a crowd of shirts-off, tits-out, pumped-up, pec-perfect totty gyrated and cavorted beneath a sea of lasers. An extra-terrestrial extravaganza that punched all the right buttons and will have us in orbit for weeks to come.

QX CLUB NEWS ROCKED our scariest rough trade skinhead look as London’s fetish fans flocked to the biggest fetish contest in town last weekend. Featuring ten sizzling studs in a battle to lift the highly-coveted and très chic Mr Hoist 2015 sash, a crowd of hot hunks packed out the hallowed Vauxhall arches as a line up of dom dads, leather lovers and rubber masters took it to the wire for a nail-biting climax that had the whole place on a knife edge. Our personal fave, shy, diminutive and ‘embarrassed in general’ Spike, may not have reached the top spot, but we’ll take him home for a good bottom spanking anytime he wants. Meanwhile, a trio of Athenian-torsoed heart-throbs grabbed the audience’s attention, with the burly Mikey and Luke pipped to first place by 38 year-old Baz who, incidentally, had his first gay experience at Argos (perhaps he had a long wait for a kettle) but now has £1000 prize money in his bank account and the chance to represent the UK at Chicago’s International Mr Leather in May. Not forgetting the deserving runners-up who landed wads of cash plus vouchers from Mr Hoist 2015 sponsors, d.vote Rubber. Moving on and a special Sir Hoist award went to emcee and Mr Hoist 2014, a tearful Frankie, for services to the LGBT community. Congratulations to brand new Mr Hoist, Baz, we hope you have a fantastic year!

DR ALEX, GP Do you have an emotional or health worry? Contact Dr Alex via email: [email protected]

Hi Dr Alex, My ears stick out! I was teased a lot at school but my parent’s attitude was that they are just the way I am. My dad has the same shape as me so I guess he’s to blame! I tend to wear my hair quite long but now I’m 22 and I’m really fed up with them. I know about ears being pinned but wonder if I can get this on the NHS or is it something I have to have done privately? If that’s the case then I doubt I can afford it. Can you help?
