16/04/16: It was SO MAJOR at Bloc Bar on Saturday. It was their reunion night in honour of the lovely old Black Cap.
Like a school reunion, but with drag queens and vodka. EVERYONE WAS THERE! Every. One. Was. There. It was proper community vibes. Actually, brace yourselves because I’m going to be a really basic bitch for a minute: It made me so happy to be gay, and have friends, and live in such a wonderful, vibrant city with wonderful, vibrant places like Bloc Bar and, formerly, the Black Cap. AAWW! Right, basic bitchery over.
There were so many wonderful acts too. Highlights including pop slags The Buffalo Girls, who did a bar stool-toppling rendition of Overload by The Sugababes. And then internationally ignored superstar Vanity Von Glow, trying to convince everyone she was friends with Adele as usual (she might have tweeted her once?) and Virgin Xtravaganzah, who took time out from her schedule of being on seemingly EVERY CLUB NIGHT BILL IN LONDON. Yes Virgin!
The best times though were had in the smoking area. Gossiping, bitching, tossing hair and laughing at nothing, with our gorgeous gay scene’s best-known faces. An off-duty Gina Gee, Coco Femme Fontaine in a leather harness, and all topped off with a Darling sister or two. And Freddy Krave taking gorgey pics of it all! Gimme another vodka!
