I'm back home in Scotland after a couple of weeks away, and what a privilege to come home to this...

They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. They don't say which eye.

I received an almost indecently generous gift this week.

My friends Ian Berry and his partner Ty visited. Ian gifted me a piece of art as a thank you for performing in drag at his 40th.

I'm blown away both by his generosity and his talent.

This unfortunate fate could await anyone who fails to pay attention during sex education.
Two muscular men in shorts and sneakers performing an impressive callisthenics trick. One of the men is doing a human flag using the neck and one foot of the other man as anchor points. The man serving as the anchor is using his arms to raise himself from the floor. He has one of his feet on the ground. His other leg curves upwards to allow human flag man to reach it.
