Well, we’re at the business end of Melodifestivalen 2010. Three three semi-finals have happened and there’s only “Andra Chansen” (2nd Chance) to go before the big night. We have six confirmed songs chosen for the final already with just the two from “Andra Chansen” to go. This year’s Melodifestivalen has been a bit dull and [...]
3pm in Stockholm
In a few days, a boy who has only ever spent time in warm environments in Australia will be experiencing this. Last night he was wearing a short sleeve casual shirt and a pair of shorts. Can he survive Stockholm in early March? Will he hide under the blankets in his hotel room? Will his [...]
I love this photo
(Click on image to see larger version) This photo is soooo camp. It was taken at the Mardi Gras Pink Stiletto Race Day at Randwick. There’s a corresponding image on the back of his T-Shirt (below). But I think it isn’t needed. The single image of this older gentleman relaxing at the racecourse with his [...]
Older n Last Time – a little movie gem from Aussie-land
There’s still one good thing about the very tarnished Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras – and that’s the Film Festival put on by Queer Screen. As usual, this year I’d circled about 10 movies I wanted to see at the festival. And, as usual, session times, logistics and vagueness on my part saw me [...]
The Dugites….Waiting
Sometimes I just have to face up to it…I don’t agree with a lot of people a lot of the time. Rather than wimp out and change my opinion to something more “acceptable”, I’d rather just be true to myself. And such is the case with this song. The Dugites “Waiting” (seen below from 1981). [...]

Tom Ballard live at the Comedy Store
Well, strictly speaking he was only one of the acts in a show billed as “Mardi Ha!” at the Comedy Store in the Entertainment Quarter (Fox Studios), Moore Park. The show is part of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival. Yes, it’s that time of year again. I’m not particularly partial to stand-up [...]
Youtube is like peanuts…you can’t stop at one!
Bloody Youtube. It’s addictive. It’s done it to me again, like it has so many times before. All I did was look for “Rollercoaster” by B*Witched. I found it but there was a list of other B*Witched clips on the side of the page. And so I looked at another one….and another one…and – well, [...]
B*Witched – Rollercoaster
I’ve been really slack about getting a lot of my CDs zapped over to my gorgeous new 16gb Sansa View Mp3 player. I end up listening to the same things over and over cos it’s easier than tracking down CDs and going through the whole ripping process (why haven’t they invented a machine that can [...]
