What do you get if you cross Sir Ian McKellen, Sir Elton John, Peter Tatchell and half a million gay and lesbian marchers?
A hell of a lot of fun for starters...
For the first time ever, the EuroPride Parade on Saturday 1st July 2006 will set off down the world famous Oxford Street.
Europride is Europe’s biggest gay and lesbian event, held in a different European city each year and this time, Londoners have drawn the lucky straw.
Put your glad rags on, Trafalgar Square won't know what's hit it when the crowds march in for the post parade rally. There'll be stalls, music, guest speakers, entertainment and muscles galore. If those red speedos are anything to go by, I'll be there for the eye candy alone.
The parade itself kicks of at Oxford Street at 1pm and will make its colourful way along Oxford Street to Oxford Circus, turning right down Regent Street to Piccadilly Circus; from there the route moves on to Trafalgar Square, along Whitehall to pass the Houses of Parliament, before dispersing along Victoria Embankment. Not since the lumbering elephant exhibition have roads had such an excuse for closure.
There's also a Prides Against Prejudice Conference on Friday 30th June - open to all so check out the website for details.
Ooh la la.
I hear that Chris Carmack starring in T. Williams "Summer and Smoke" opening at the Appolo Theater on Oct 18, is a fantastic HUNK. Please tell me everything about him.....he's gorgeous....
