Latest: Had my hair cut.
My heart lays in British pantomime, so I love an impractical gag outfit too - something big and impactful that’s impossible to move in, but I like these as special treats. The best drag still looks like clothing being worn by the person, and not the other way round.

I think I like drag the most when it looks like clothing; something people once wore somewhere. With creativity and theatrics, of course, but I like to see how the human shape interacts with the fabric. I think the costume is storytelling, a portrait of the wearer.

This year Myra is joined on stage by her sister Rose, which also means Frank is joined by his wife. I absolutely love what my friend Lucy Frederick has done with Rose Lavender and sharing that with audiences has been very special.

Myra her usual self. The love that’s culminated over the last few years for this woman is something else. Audiences are So. Excited when she appears. It’s humbling, and not something I take for granted. I’ll forever be grateful for the enthusiasm for Myra.

Very much enjoying Frank’s set. He’s my favourite. The main reason Myra tours is so Frank can open. It’s taken a long time to get him right but I’m pleased to say he can now reduce a crowd to fits of laughter as well as Myra, albeit via a different route.

Currently on tour with Myra and Frank. We did the Hackney Empire on Saturday, which was a thrill. It was proceeded by Bath and Addleston; both lovely. Sheffield, Leeds and Whitley Bay next. I love being on tour.

My dog likes these chicken feet that look like they’re choreographed by Fosse.

Went to see Diana Ross last night. She gave one helluva show. Personal high light was discovering the Co-Op Live Arena has a little co-op inside it for getting snacks and pop.

Trump on the news just now looking exactly like my dog when I don’t throw him food quick enough even though he’s sat nicely in his bed as agreed.

Recreating a classing, “Thatcher with Whippet displaying classic stress signals, and who can blame it”
Found the exact bench in Battersea Park and everything. I should have sat further left so you could see the “In Loving Memory”. Can’t believe I’m further right than Thatcher.

Here’s the picture of my dog I promised. Hope it helps. He’s only 5 months old, but when he was a little puppy made of only marshmallows he would sleep on my head a lot. Now he’s becoming a dog made of long bones, but he still occasionally likes a head cuddle.

Absolutely beautiful day in Manchester, which always looks stunning in the sun.
I love how the past and the present wrap round each other here. Canals go under railway bridges alongside road. You’ll find cobbles, tracks and tarmac. Lovely stuff.

Would another photo of my dog help? I feel like another photo of my dog would help.
