What’s your favourite meme or hashtag? Can we eeerm… #discuss. We all succumb to phases of overuse. Well, I do!
From a #tbt to a #bts (behind the scenes not the boy band). A ‘felt cute might delete later’ or a ‘about last night’, I just can’t help myself.
Over at Boulangerie: Summer Meringue at VFD they might describe themselves as ‘sweet treats’ but it’s actually an inclusive evening of unpredictable queer performance. Taking place on Thursday 18th July at 7pm, hosted by Wanda Cookie and Jules Jones and featuring the talents of artists Lucia Blake, Cassandra, Prinx Silver and Lx Motley. Shows and dancing ‘til midnight.
So there’s a rather wonderful screening of film IF MY PUSSY COULD TALK, which is a journey into the mind of artist Nick Townsend and their personas Trixie, Nick and Sexy Nicole, ‘a story of survival and strength’…it’s at The Horse Hospital, Colonade, WC1 from 7.00 on Thursday 18th, followed by a Q & A and a mini disco!
