Last night I went to see 'Kinky Gerlinky' at the Curzon Soho. Mr s. hated it and fell asleep. It was a bit overlong and I had a feeling that it is much more fun if you have either been to one of these parties or if you know someone who were, But it was good fun and at least I learned that:
1) Ricardo from 'The Salon' really ages well
2) Drag queens should generally shave
3) Naomi Campbell hasn't changed at all (looks-wise) the last 10 years
4) Most drag queens are more feminine than I am
5) Leigh Bowery was a fucking genius (but I've suspected that for a long time).

We have just been to Vauxhall to buy a 'bathroom-suite', as they call it. I have noticed that whenever we are in a situation where we speak to builders, bankers, shop-keepers and such ('official inquiries'), we immediately go into good-cop-bad-cop mode. Mr s. is the good cop, friendly, interested, open to new ideas. I am the bad cop, suspicious, loud and inquiring. The equivalent of a pit-bull, I guess. The Denzel to Mr s.'s Ethan. I don't know if it works, but people usually like Mr s. because they feel sorry for him having to put up with me. I just want to make sure that everything is in order.
So we're now the lucky owners of a small tub, basin and loo (Vienna, I think was its name) + a lovely mirrored cabinet. The joy!
