Ugh! Drag Wars?! In galaxy far, far away there was an intergalactic space Princess and a… wait, I can see this going very, very badly. It seems the latest drag feud on the scene is so great that it’s spilt over into the mainstream. The face-off that is Val vs. Fem The Future reached fever pitch at New Years when it’s alleged one stole a spot show from the other, resulting in an ‘expulsion’ from Connections. All that over a fake heart? Yes, darling. Step on toes and you’ll have your career ripped from your chest, at least from one half of town anyway. And yes, we got official word from the crew at Connections about the situation. We also got an official yawn. But we don’t care anyway – we won a Glammy too. (more…)

Tatie here! mOther’s just on the loo, doing a… well, you know.

Ah, Pride. It’s that time of year again when the prodigal gays come home, the exes of festivals past haunt our every move and we dress up our dogs in outrageously camp outfits and parade them around on stage… and no I’m not talking about Pride Fairday.

There is also something about this time of year that induces a singles feeding frenzy- with no dark corner safe from impatient frotting. One pair of dirty puppies were so busily engaged in an act of public girl-on-girl action at a popular nightspot recently that they didn’t even notice a tipsy trickster stealing the shoes right off their feet!

Ah… Perth Fashion Festival. Good for fashion. Good for gossip. Which designer was heard overheard saying of a certain high profile person that ‘Darling, unfortunately we neeeeeeeeed people like that’? Ouch. That’d hurt… if the high profile person knew about it.

But PFF wasn’t all bad. The new venue, in fact, was amazing. So much so it’s really put PFF on the map. Fashion Paramount was a particularly amazing experience, and hats go off to everyone who helped make it into the most unbelievable experience possible. (more…)

Which drag queen was in full slap, on her way to wherever it was she was going, and then chugger-chugger-bang! Her car dies on the side of an incredibly busy road. She lifts the lid… but quickly realises, what does she know about engines!?! So she tries, in vain, to flag someone down. But of course, she’s not one for a shy retiring look is she? So naturally no-one stops. After following suit with her car (read breaks down too) the poor dear has to ditch the heels and, walking like the lady she’s not, jump over the busy median strip to make it to even anywhere reasonably hospitable. Needless to say, it was a while before anyone came to rescue her. What a drag. (more…)

Cough cough… cough cough. Oh dear, mOther doesn’t feel the best darlings. And having just returned from a whirlwind tour of Melbourne (otherwise known as New New Mexico) mOther thinks she might have come down with something that starts with ‘swine’ and that ends with ‘flu’. But don’t tell anyone please, although I do have some rather divine designer surgical masks I can now wear around town courtesy of Irina Bloks. Truth be told, I did try to call the Swine Flu Hotline, but all I got was crackling. (more…)

SceneOUT #93

Oh my god – tragic gossip alert! Guess which drag queen got caught with her pants down in a local park?! Seems she was having so much fun that when the boys in blue rocked up, they couldn’t keep a straight face. And respectfully so – seems the old clapper had been out all night so her face was only just hanging on by a thread. Wasn’t the only thing hanging on to her either. Needless to say her – and her hanger on – spent the morning getting better acquainted in lock-up. See… it does have a happy ending! (more…)

Rumour of the month? That The Ellington Jazz Club will be starting up a gay night on Tuesday nights, apparently kicking off from Tuesday April 14th. No other details yet, but there will be… there will be!

On Thursday April 9 why not go down to the local pub and do something a little different. That’s right, from 5pm The Court Hotel have a larger than life After Work Easter Egg Hunt happening. There will be a whooping number of eggs (now mOther did ask Bree how many exactly – we always like numbers – but all Bree revealed was that there would be ‘oodles’, which is comparatively loads more than lots and heap more than heaps… I’d be going for mid-triple figures) hidden throughout the entire venue plus there will be DJs all night long plus there’s no work tomorrow plus there’s so much chocolate plus you can bring a basket and finally skip around the venue unleashing your inner gay. Oh, wait…. (more…)

SceneOUT #91

Looking for a view to a thrill? Well, it seems if you have the right job, any opportunity will present itself – such as being able to watch the shenanigans happening across the railway line at a certain seemingly secluded little hotspot… which apparently was getting mighty hot. Yes, it’d then be embarrassing if you were the one doing the shenanigans and then get to visit the person who had the right job, and get an education in how one person’s ‘secluded’ is another’s ‘perfect view from the office window’. Oh to have been a fly on that bank manager’s wall during that meeting. The only thing mOther wants to know is why the shenaniganista was seeing their bank manager? Investing in a new beard (hedge fund?) perhaps?! (more…)

Scandalous! It seems that with Valentine’s Day on the horizon THE thing to do is to throw caution to the wind and tell your partner that you’ve had an affair. My my! Yes, a whole swathe of relationships across our beautiful city have gone bottom up. And not in the good way. What to do? Revenge, sweeties, revenge. Go on… you know you want to. Even if that revenge means you look f’ing amazing at the next social outing – do it! A little discipline and a head held high is all you need to get back at them. Either that or hire a cheetah for that cheater. One doesn’t however recommend Chianti and Fava beans, not even to over-enthusiastic queens. (more…)

People… get over it! A certain club WAS NOT late with its countdown this New Years Eve. In fact, they were so on the ball they had it coordinated with the internet, the talking clock (1194), the DJ’s watch, the watch of the drag queen backstage (although how reliable they are….) plus the manager’s watch. Ok, so they didn’t factor in the extra second that all the atomic clocks around the world had to… but they were on time people. Consider yourself ticked off… and cue Madonna’s Hung Up…! (more…)
