Parties & PeopleBeartacular

Beartacular

23/05/14: London grew some fur and went grrrr last week as Bearfest events popped up all over the place. Def one of our faves was the full-on, 5-star (not the 80s pop group) theatrical extravaganza that was Beartacular at the RVT.

Hosted by the über fabulous ‘What do you think you’re looking at faggot?’ Jonny Woo, a plethora of paws-in-the-air performers paraded across the hallowed boards for a capacity crowd. ‘Dave the Bear’, clearly the Miley Cyrus of the bear scene, gave us his best twerking carwash strip complete with soap suds dripping off his hot little basket.

The Dream Bears twirled and sashayed to Lady Marmalade and Nigel Murfit crooned a bit of Take That and Lion King before the little pocket rocked Edgar Trujillo turned up the heat with his fiery escapades that raised a bit of a sweat on all of us.

And just to show bears have hearts, too, 12 of them bared all in their underwear for a charity auction in aid of Ben Cohen’s anti-bullying StandUp Foundation. An aptly named Beartacular indeed.
