Kink gay speed dating wick
Of the many alt-girl relics of my ’90s adolescence, there is one motion picture that still feels extra charged with a queer supernatural frequency.
Andrew Fleming’s cult film The Craft cast the gentle of spell that tweenster me didn’t know she needed in the dusky, sticky cinema at Toronto’s Eaton Centre, squished between three other giddy girls from my junior high.
In hindsight, I was more than ready for levitating girls; bad girls with vulgar mouths nicknamed “the bitches of Eastwick”; psychic girls with scars, Sassy magazine subscriptions and terrifying rage. Watching trickster goths in spiked collars and desecrated rosaries turn a candlelit slumber party into witchcraft, a gender non-conforming horror rite of passage had been ignited. Most importantly, I was thrilled to learn that if girls chant incantations against terrible boys in a golden meadow, they must initiate the spell with blood rituals and lgbtq+ kissing. It’s for these reasons that I owe so much of my lesbian coming out story to The Craft’s girl gang of teen misfits invoking spirits, Sapphism and snark.
When I eventually learn
From glittering karaoke in Cockney boozers to confrontational political satire at community hubs, drag kings and queens are spearheading a revival in queer performance across the East End.
It’s 10 pm in the Incline Bells on a Friday, and a shirtless year-old known by regulars affectionately as ‘Sparkles’ has removed his shirt for the second time that evening. He’s singing his heart out to Robbie Williams’ Angels atop a table strewn with emptied Guinness glasses in a express of positive ecstasy.
It’s karaoke night at the pub, hosted by Brick Lane-based drag queen Christina Draguilera, who’s become a familiar name in Bow for those clued in on the local scene. The boozer is rammed with punters from all walks of life, from pensioners and queer students to the local football team, all gathered for a few hours of slightly unhinged revelry.
Savage and sexy in equal measure, Christina is the night’s hostess and DJ, garbed in a hot-pink mini-dress, impossibly high platform boots and a deliciously dramatic platinum-blonde wig. She’s the audacious drag persona of Scott Cheek, 49, who’s p
I've been wearing these cuffs as a bangle, just to construct sure I don't lead you wrong and — I'm obsessed? Like, they aren't comfortable to type with, but I'm sure you won't be doing that while wearing these. The adjustable sliding knot is really convenient, the cuffs aren't heavy at all (even with both on one arm) and there's definitely enough room to be relaxed while restrained. They are definitely for light restraint play, but I'm literally going to retain wearing them and can't stay for someone to use them on me.
The stainless steel bangles have a blue enamel accent and the 18K gold-plated ones have a coral accent.
Promising review: "My partner and I are new to restraint play, so we were super excited to ease in with the Bangle Handcuff. First of all, they are BEAUTIFUL and look super luxe. They jangle a lot, so I'd probably not wear them around too much in public (if I was trying to be discreet), but that wasn't a problem in the bedroom. They're easy for either me or my partner to put on, are adjustable and can be slid on an off, and have a clasp for removal as well. Woul

1. Feel It
Held every Friday at London Bridge venue Omeara, this self-styled ‘queer super-party’ lives up to its billing. The genuinely diverse crowd includes plenty who appreciate to dress up, and plenty who like to undress as the evening progresses, especially in the sweaty main room. Banging house is the soundtrack there, while two other rooms are dedicated to chilled disco and pop. Brilliantly produced by London club legend Jodie Cruel and the Little Same-sex attracted Brother crew, Feel It brings Berlin-style thrills and spills to south
