A shower on the Southbank

I don’t know who took this picture of our bodypaint orgy at last week’s Southbank Dorothy night but we’re very proud of it here at the Dickie Beautique. It’s going straight on the wall. At a jaunty angle.

That’s me swimming in the middle with the white face. I’m either in ecstasy or it was caught at the moment David Hoyle’s elbow cracked my balls.

And if you’ve never danced in the moving fountains in front of the Royal Festival Hall in your undies at midnight, I highly recommend it. Bit cold, mind you.

The vile in the violins

When my beautiful wife took a knife

And took her beautiful, wonderful life

We both found God.

But the thing that really struck a chord

Was the shame I felt when I got bored

Everyone knows that the Nazis had the best uniforms. This basic unalterable fact forms the basis of a judgement I’ve formed on the Max Mosley controversy in that, whatever else you say about him, if his S&M party had an SS theme, the man’s apparently got taste.

We’re talking about the least sexy man-on-man kiss in the history of television. Anyone who found this offensive is an obvious lunatic.

But, digging deeper, there’s a curried bean in this somewhere that burns my ass.

Flexi-time

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usThat was a nice message. I could reply to it right away. So, I’ll reply … mm … later. First, I’ll have a cup of tea and read that article that caught my eye on my RSS feed.

While I wait for the kettle to boil, perhaps I could put some washing in the machine. No, by the time I’ve sorted out my colours, the water won’t be BOILING hot anymore and I’ll have to boil it all over again. Forget that. I could … I need a pee, I’ll pee.

Pigeon Shit

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usDing dong, darlings.

You may, if you’ve been rigorous in your consumption of online current affairs (i.e. following FaceFuck updates), already be aware - so apologies for repetition - that a pigeon shat on my head outside Starbucks on Friday 13th. Apparently, this was “lucky”.

YOU’RE A C*NT! / Not my words: a man in the crowd

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usIf you’ve ever boarded an N8 towards Hainault at 3am in full drag you might be familiar with the descent of a dreaded sense that there’s a man near you who seems suddenly possessed of the urge to defend himself against your fabulousness. There may even be more than one. And all you want to do is get home.

The cut and thrust

Sleep, or rather the lack of it, continues to be the principle threat to my sanity.
