Mystic musings from darling scene royalty Princess Julia, talking what’s on queer East London.
Are you like me? Desperate for gossip? I usually get the latest news after the event. Nothing wrong with that either, as you get all the angles in one go. But which viewpoints are true to a story or when has gossip gone too far? We seem to live in a society where an embellishment or two is acceptable and we all like it a bit spicy don’t we?!
Talking of spicy, at BOiBOX they’ve gone all ‘tasty’ with a recipe of drag cabaret like no other. Adam All and Apple Derrieres showcase an evening at The Glory on Thursday 28th November. Join Kemah Bob as Lil Test Ease, Louis F.U.C.K, Rhys’ Pieces and Sammy Silver at 7:30.
Up at Bodycon, they crank up the croc shoe appeal and present Bodycroc at Dalston Superstore on Thursday 28th. Lol, this lot are a hoot! DJs Spooky Fellatio, Fancy Shews, Hooves, Brat and Buffy The Track Slayer! 9pm – 2:30am.
Time to turn out with Tina and a Tina 80 Live Cabaret Special! Yes, Tina Turner turns 80 and what better way to celebrate with a cabaret special hosted by A Man To Pet and guest stars Asttinna, Margo Marshall with Rudi Douglas on the piano! It’s at The Glory on Friday 29th November at 8pm.
I’ll be joining south London’s The Cock Tavern this Friday 29th for a DJ spot starting at 8pm. It’s a beautiful and spacious pub with a late license and lots going on. Join me and resident DJ David McNeil ‘til 2am! Free entry and delicious cocktails plus all the gossip!

Up the road, it’s FIASCO 004 x World AIDS Day Fundraiser at Dalston Superstore on Saturday 30th. DJ Reece Spooner hosts a night where all proceeds go to Positive East.
