In 2008 a vaccination programme was started for teenage girls in the UK, to tackle the human papilloma virus, which spreads through genital or oral contact and can cause cancers. Public Health Minister Jane Ellison said: “We want to make sure that those most at risk are protected from potentially deadly cancers and genital warts and piloting this new programme is a step in the right direction. This pilot builds on the success of the current vaccination programme.” Minister for Women and Equalities Nicky Morgan, said: “This Government is determined to ensure we address the specific health needs of LGBT people.” The Positive Project Freddy qxmagazine.com Krave’s Jacob Alexander is a Creative Director and SCENE EDITOR menswear designer based in London.

Gina The Nightbus THE PROWLER PORN AWARDS! There was a red carpet. There were porn stars. There were paparazzi. There were drag queens. INSIDE, we bumped into Kayden Gray, There were celebrities. It was a salubriously salacious melting pot who’s got a winning of wonderfully seedy 90’s urban glamour. Like, Carrie Bradshaw smile and ten inch WISHES. She wouldn’t have been invited. Samantha would have penis. He was been invited and taken Lucy Liu as her plus one. nominated for Best My plus one was East London drag queen and political purveyor Top! Kayden is the of perviness, The Nightbus!

The night of the awards though, she was sans drag, I also had a nice identifiable only by her pair of Miss Pam chat with lovely rather camp rainbow Louboutins. Luke Tyler, star of Europorn Studios. He’s gorgeous and soft-spoken, which is always nice! I was going to go to the bar and get a drink with him, then got distracted when I bumped into the lilac- hued hurricane that is Virginia Wright! She’s like Adore Delano on acid. Just take a second to imagine that. 4 qxmagazine.com SHE PERFORMED ON STAGE with tattooed slice of gorgeouness Mickey Taylor. And they had dancers who looked like they’d been stolen from Jennifer Lopez’ yacht. Maybe they had been, you never know with Virginia. Dylan Jones After Virginia and Mickey it was time for…ME! I was presenting the award for Best British Website, won by UK Hot Jocks. Well deserved, I say. I had a right blast doing it, and resisted launching into an Emma Thompson- esque drunken speech with my shoes slung over my shoulder. I air-kissed Miss Pam, who was presiding over the pornographic proceedings. She spent ALL NIGHT on stage, introducing performers, keeping the crowd’s attention, all that jazz. She was great! Personable and wonderful and full of infectious energy. It makes total sense that she’s had so much success in the industry, directing and producing movies. If were getting buggered by an eleven inch cock on camera, she would totally put me at ease. Hey Pam! AFTER MY STINT on stage, I was whisked swiftly into the evening’s behind-the-scene’s annals by Vanity Von Glow. Internationally ignored and unfashionably late, Vanity’s one of the scene’s most recognisable stars, performing at private members’ clubs and living rooms across London. Mickey Taylor Now she’s branching out and has her own YouTube channel. She was doing interviews on camera for most Virgina Wright of the night, so I popped in and we had a vodka and prattled away to a cameraman for a bit. On the way out I met some Bel Ami boys entering. They were so gorgeous and twinky they almost brought out the top in me! Mickey Taylor But not quite. I STUMBLED THROUGH the labyrinthine corridors David Robson back into the sea of pornstars and promptly bumped into Ben Henry, Buzzfeed’s LGBT correspondant, and Sam Syron, who’s absolutely lovely. Sam alternates between shagging hot boys in trakkies on camera, and selling dildos to tourists. Vanity Von Glow After that, goodie bags were passed out containing lube and poppers, so the night swiftly descended into anarchy. I vaguely remember slurring something to Rocco Steele about how he’d “solved my daddy issues” (?!), having a dance to Fifth Harmony when nobody else was dancing, and ordering lots of double vodka red bulls. Rocco Steele WHAT A GORGEY EVENING! Silliness aside, it was actually such nice vibes. You could be forgiven for thinking that an awards ceremony for gay porn stars might be a bit posey or judgy, but it was the complete opposite. Everyone was modest, friendly, and, most importantly, knew how to have a good time! And that’s what porn’s all about really isn’t it. It’s just a bit of cheeky fun.

  • When Asked to Sum up the History of Her Band in a Nutshell, Dragonette
    When asked to sum up the history of her band in a nutshell, Dragonette vocalist Martina Sorbara succinctly spells out the somewhat improbable backstory as such: “Husband and wife from Canada started a band, moved to England, made pop music, experience a lot of crazy ups and downs, move back to Canada and continue to be a pop band…but finally in the way they wanted to from the very beginning.” It’s a wildly truncated version of the crazy ride that the band has been on for the past few years, but Sorbara manages to nail the important bits. For the better part of a decade now, the band— Sorbara, her husband Dan Kurtz and drummer Joel Stouffer—have been making the kind of wily pop music that routinely defies explanation (and expectations). Releasing their debut EP in 2005, Sorbara and Kurtz very famously opened for New Order on only their second gig. Based on the success of the EP (and the interest from labels in the UK), the two eventually pulled up stakes and moved to the UK to record their debut album. What was initially conceived as perhaps only a temporary move turned into a tenure of seven years in London, during which the band racked made a name for themselves as a synth-pop act to be reckoned with. Their debut full-length, 2007’s Galore, put the band on the road with the likes of Basement Jaxx and saw the group developing their chops as a formidable live act. “In London we felt very miniscule, like two tiny people adrift in this big, dark city,” explains Sorbara, “It sounds negative, but I mean it in a positive way.
