Gossip! Good gossip… really good gossip. The 2008 Pride Festival was recently launched and, oh my… the trouble some youngsters got themselves into. So much so that the apparent after-parties were something to marble at… sorry, marvel at. Ooops, got my lines mixed up. And yes, it was at one of these after-parties that a certain editor apparently had a nap – or is the correct phrase ‘passed out’? Well, you get that if you’re gonna fill your fishbowl to the top. Ah… Perthonalities behaving badly – loves it!

Following on from catching up with every ex you ever had at Pride Fairday, be sure to check out Connections Nightclub when a whole lotta DJs go head to head out on the Terrace and it’s Dave Jackson vs Rudy while Michy vs Brian in the main room. These old skool ‘versus’ nights are big fun, and this one promises to deliver a mash of mad tunes. Oh yes indeed. Doors open 10pm and close 2am. But… if you’re looking for something bigger well, later in the month The Official Pride Party at Connections will satisfy all of you who like it big. See below or page 13 for full details.

Also worth a look after Fairday is ZOO, as ZOO Goes 3-D. Yes, the boys have perfected the art of queens actually being more than flat superficial two-dimensional stereotypes and thankfully deliver a night that has so much guts, so much umph (and that’s a technical term) that it’s not to be missed.

Ladies and gentlemen, get ready to cordially meet the new Queen of The Court – well, that is when they’re actually crowned. This new drag show will see one baby drag rise through the ranks to make it as the new Queen of The Court. Feminem will be hosting the night with the winner taking home $1000 hot cash plus prime place on The Court Hotel’s Pride Parade float. Each week contestants will take on a challenge, scoring themselves points with the drag with the highest score announced as the winner. So far Miss Fanta-Sea, Kissy Kyssandra, Veruka Salt and Aania Delereto are confirmed to compete. Who will win? Find out every Thursday at 10pm from October 2 with the finale on October 23.

‘Well, I haven’t even touched the tip of the iceberg of this one yet,’ confirmed Feminem Hygiene of the music she will play at The Court’s upcoming ‘Gayest Night Ever’ on October 3, ‘BUT there will disco classics, ’80s anthems, The Sound Of Music, ABBA, cheesy pop groups, Queer as Folk etc etc. Darling, it’s gonna be HUGE!’. And you know how we like things big! That said, The Gayest Night Ever at The Court will be massive. Dress in your campest clothes to win a copy of The Campest Clips Ever DVD and watch as Fem and Sir Clancealot duke it out in a search for the gayest song in the Universe! Yes, there will be murder… on the dance floor!

Supermodels – Famous! will be appearing at Connections Nightclub on October 11 and 18. This show stars Val, Sheila, Dita, Delta, Vene-Mous, the return of Glamourpuss and high holy fashion mightiness The Giselle. Not to be missed – be there to witness the birth of fashion!

Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me… no, seriously! No sooner do I celebrate my big day (at a fabulous huge art show where a veritable who’s who of Perth artistic elite, cashed up noveau riche and old money will be shin-digging it with me) than The Court Hotel turns 1 on Saturday October 11! Yes, La Court la birthday la fabulous! Watch as the staff jump up on stage and entertain with some super camp shows. Oh, and there will be cake. Let them eat cake! Yes, that includes you little one.

Congratulations to The Brisbane Hotel – bar of the year! Well done. Yet another reason to come down and perve on all the Glory boys.

Trick is a new gay night hitting Geisha bar on Thursday October 16. It’s gonna fuse old skool charm with new wave glamour, bringing it all to head every week, mid-week. Yes, get your groove on and get happening as Trick hits!

Torn between the couch and the dance floor? Want to boogie but can’t be f**ked getting out of your comfy clothes? Well, The Court have the answer with their Slumber Party on Friday October 17. Yes, wear your PJs and get ready for a pillow fight. Get your nightcap on!

The Official Pride Party at Connections Nightclub is one monolithic monster party (see page 13 for a full rundown). To put it simply expect the venue to grow as it spills out the back downstairs into one massive garden space. There will be Sydney’s DJ Kate Monroe on hand to drive the pumping bassline hard and fast while Sharif Galal from Triple J’s Saturday night Mixtape show also keeps the music happening. Elsewhere throughout this rabbit warren of rooms and disco delights DJs Cinnamon, Michy T, Brian, Joby, Ben and Moosh will be delivering a cavalcade of party tunes. Outside there will be a café, inside a giant cherry blossom tree. The whole place will be madness – just as you’d expect. Party starts the moment the Parade finishes. Presale tickets are $25 Pride members and $30 non-members with tickets available from Connections, Planet Video, Rockeby Records and Mills Records.

Ooooh, as if Pride night couldn’t possibly get any bigger then The Court Hotel drop one and plopsy, the splash back in tsunami-like in proportions. Yes, The Potbellez will be playing The Court as the street outside the pub will be transformed into an over-overflow section, all to capitalise on a larger than life stage that The Potbellez will be rocking out on. Expect DJs Clancealot, Seretonin and Pussyshoogah outside while inside DJs Nick Alexander and Dannyboi rock out inside along with guests. Big? That doesn’t even begin to describe it. Tickets $40 presale from The Court and Moshtix.

And to wrap up the post parade madness be sure to check out ZOO as they once again run later than usual with their special blend of inspired transcendental – and sometimes incidental – madness. Pride members get discount entry at the door, with surprises, shows and more fun décor in store.

One last gasp of goss- seems one burgeoning baby hag took great pleasure in seducing a much much older gypsy, sorry, lady at a certain 18th birthday party recently. Three times the lady, wasn’t she? So anyway… turns out the young whelp had the nerve – sorry, nervosa – to not only bed said lady, but take photographs of the whole excursion as well without a nickel of dime of consideration for said lady. Although by the time the photos were taken, said lady certainly wasn’t acting like a lady.
