few weeks ago, the team at QX met with Terrence Higgins Trust to discuss the promotion of National HIV Testing week. THT asked whether we would give the campaign a huge push by including it on A the cover of the magazine. There was no question that we would do this. Beyond the clubs, bars, wigs and muscled torsos, we like to think we also have a conscience here at QX Towers that extends beyond concern for Miley Cyrus’ mental health. So, we racked our brains for a front cover concept that would adequately represent THT’s goals: to get the message out there that not only could knowing your status save your life, but it would also help to drive down the rates of new Last year, THT and HIV Prevention England launched infections. Getting every gay and bisexual man in the UK to National HIV Testing Week to huge success. This year, have an HIV test seems like a gargantuan task. But as THT’s the campaign has gone Europe-wide. As World AIDS Day campaign message says, it’s actually rather simple when (1st December) approaches they are appealing to every gay broken down: it starts with each of us taking responsibility and bisexual man to get tested for HIV!

FROM DIETRICH TO LUXEMBURG HALBWELT KULTUR Jermyn Street Theatre, 16b Jermyn Street, SW1Y 6ST Tuesday 26th November–Sunday 15th December. £18/15 concs. Box Offi ce: 020 7287 2875 www.jermynstreettheatre.co.uk ‘Halbwelt Kultur’ bills itself as an alternative to the glut of pantos and family Christmas shows that promise to inundate you at the turn of December. Representing the heyday of cabaret, it focuses on the lives of seven women who were crucial cultural and political fi gures during the time of the Weimar Reublic but who were later to be labelled as degenerates by the Nazi regime and either exiled, imprisoned or killed by them. The international fi lm star Marlene Dietrich, the infamous cross-dresser Claire Waldoff, the cabaret legend Blandine Ebinger, dancer and performance artist Anita Berber, socialist revolutionary Rosa Luxemburg and avant-garde performer Valeska Gert comprise a cast of women who embody a moment of gay emancipation and an extraordinary cultural and sexual freedom, just before the nightmarish oppression that was to follow… POLARI-OUS! POLARI FIRST BOOK PRIZE WINNER 2013 www.polariliterarysalon.co.uk Twitter: @PolariSalon Author of ‘The Murder Wall’, Mari Hannah, has been named the winner of the The Polari First Book Prize 2013. She was presented with a cheque for £1,000 by Vincent Francois, Chair of the UK LGBT Network. The Polari First Book Prize is for a fi rst book that explores the LGBT experience and is now in its third year. Paul Burston, chair of the judges, said: “The Polari First Book Prize isn’t only for literary fi ction, but for books which explore the LGBT experience. Some of those books may be literary, others may be commercial… This year’s winning book features a lesbian detective operating in a tough milieu traditionally dominated by men. It’s thrilling, entertaining and a hugely promising debut.”

IT WAS TWEE, bespectacled Teesside girl, Abi Alton’s turn to strum her swansong from the X Factor in Heaven’s main stage spotlight last Saturday – the latest to be spat out from the current season’s vicious cycle. Alton emerged - guitar aloft - all auburn hair and print mini-dress, to take the mic in the centre of an acoustic set-up. Soft-voiced and slight in her movements, Alton performed lilting ballad versions of Kylie’s ‘Cant Get You Out Of My Head’, Jessie J’s ‘Price Tag’ and Whitney’s ‘Dance With Somebody’. Unflawed, yet perhaps slightly overwhelmed, Alton’s swift and sweet exit following her set cleared the stage for its remarkably confident overtaking by songstress-on-the-upswing Ellie Goulding! And why not? The sprightly Brit blonde has enjoyed a great year of chart success – and it certainly seemed like Goulding was all geared up for a spot of celebration, striding on flanked by her three sequined backing singers and band of merry men! The - at moments - surprisingly Beyoncé-esque opening to her set saw Ellie rotating her hips and wielding her shaggy mane in ways the whooping crowd of men clearly hadn’t realised she was capable of; a sight hard to miss in her studded black bra-top and barely there leather shorts. What followed was an enjoyable, high-octane exercise in catchy pop entertainment, with ‘Anything Can Happen’, ‘I Need Your Love’ and ‘Starry Eyed’ amongst the songs eliciting a healthy response from a thoroughly involved audience. At one point Ellie even took the bongos for an instrumental dancebreak, pounding away in a melee of flashing lights and flying hair; of course the gays sent up an encouraging roar at that! A summary of Goulding’s Saturday night turn? Good fun! Who could ask for more come the weekend?

QX CLUB NEWS hit popular hotspot Pulse as rampant rubberists joined latex- lovers and elastic enthusiasts for a monumental ‘XXL Rubber’ bash last weekend. Featuring all the supersized XXL action we know and love, with a tantalising rubbery kink, a night of outsize antics saw the crew packing in a near-capacity crowd for no end of hairy hi-jinks that had us practically busting out of our physique-huggin’ skin suits with excitement. Larger- than-life highlights included top DJ dude, Christian M slamming down a sensational soundtrack of commercial dance tracks in the main room for a sea of hirsute homos stomping the boards into the dawn. Next door, disco daddy, Joe Egg, set the dancefloor on fire with a sugar-sweet cocktail of expertly mixed jukebox thrills from the past to the present. Elsewhere, there was no end of neoprene-naughtiness in the XXL darkroom, whilst the ever-inviting lounge terrace saw a sociable throng catching some chill time before heading back into the fray. Meanwhile, there was still plenty more to look forward to at the decks from the likes of Alex Logan and Mark Ames as the masses kept the party rockin’ through ‘til 7am. Get ready for a blast from the past this Saturday as the capital’s biggest weekly bears bash throws a storming ‘XXL Retro’ blowout!

LAST SATURDAY the QX team took to East London, for not one, but two birthdays. The first being that of our Editorial Assistant Darren Palfrey, and the second of the night itself. Had it really only been a year since Handsome reared its attractive head? Yep. To host the night, they’d recruited the beautiful Johanna Londinium and Andrew Moore (thank God Scotland didn’t want him, eh?). The night began quite tamely, with the wildest thing going off before midnight being some of the Shoreditch “fashion” choices - but sure enough - this was just the calm before the storm. Johnny Kalifornia laid down the commercial tunes for pussy-popping pop lovers, while Mistamaker and Lawrence Arbus served up old school Hip-Hop in the side room. Naturally, we took our resident spot under the fan (budget wind machine). In the main room, there was no chance of cooling down though with guest DJ Robert Owens and Dave Kendrick hotting things up with house beats. When it came time to leave we were clinging to the door frame like Brooke Shields to the shreds of a career. There’s no doubt we’ll be back for the December instalment.

THE INFAMOUS GutterSlut crew descended upon Bethnal Green last weekend, commandeered a straight male strip club, kicked out the strippers and invited a host of East London’s most startling party-starters to take over the poles for the night. When QX arrived the place was heaving over each floor with people partying to gay London’s funnest beats and atmosphere until Jonny Woo suddenly descended in a flurry of magnificence, sliding down a pole from the second floor. As the risqué entertainment got under way upon the stage, more extravagantly dressed drag queens slipped from floor to floor from the poles, like fabulous Kamikazi transvestites. Upstairs groups of gyrating gays had taken over the stripclub booths, whilst unsuspecting boys and men were being invited to cavort with a lascivious beauty in big boots and a bigger wig – and a dune buggy. Up one more floor to the secret harem room, and we suddenly found ourselves in the midst of the Arabian desert with layers of real sand hefted in to the floor! GutterSlut is one of East London’s most popular parties both because of their fun, anything-goes attitude and their inventive approach to the clubbing landscape – GutterBall brought all this brilliantly to the fore, and more! Till next year!

QX SCALED the dizzy heights of London’s fashionable Eastside as the hipsters hit Kingsland Road for a Little Gay Brother Presents ‘The Back House’ spectacular at Dalston Superstore last weekend. Taking its cue from Dolly Parton’s cinematic smash, ‘The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas’, a night of risqué raunch and riotous ructions saw the Superstore superstars getting all ‘Southern workin gal’ on our funky asses for a block rockin blowout that had us partying into the small hours. (Bubble- permed) highlights included Dolly and Burt Reynolds lookalikes leading the hoedown at ground level with poptastic back up from dazzling deck master Neil Prince. Downstairs, we could hardly tear our gaze away from hairy hunk DJ Chris Camplin, showing off his manly torso and spinning a barrage of bitchin’ beats that had the dancefloor erupting in a rave-o-matic frenzy. Back up top, the sweaty shenanigans switched to ‘Dirty Dancing’-style gyrating atop the bar as the busty bonanza continued through ‘til super-late. Check out the Dalston Superstore antics this Saturday when Trade legend Malcolm Duffy hijacks the laser basement for the last ‘Bender’ bash of the year!

BORN ON A BEACH in Goa, D.R.A.G. (Dressed As A Girl) is a cult film in the making taking its name from the Shakespearian stage direction for cross dressing, and in the tradition of such classics as Paris Is Burning and The Cockettes pulls off the wigs, wipes off the mascara and unveils the real people behind the much hyped and talked about alternative drag scene in East London. Starring beloved icons such as Jonny Woo, Holestar, Scottee, Pia et al, the 4 year shoot has seen boob-a-thons, hospital wards, discos, emotional reunions, messed up make- up, passed out drag queens, ambulances and more sparkle than Liberace at a Cher concert. Now in the final few furlongs of post production, the team last week launched their fundraising Kickstarter campaign at Manbar with an evening of dirty disco, tranny talent and general shenanigans in heels that left us bruised and knickerless in a Soho backstreet some eight hours later. Chrissy Darling force-fed us shots, guvnor Chris Amos was celebrating his birthday with more hot boys than a Bel Ami reunion and the scorching gogos were throwing fire around like it was November 5th all over again. A good night all round I think you’ll agree.
