London Pride

June 3 was London's Pride March and celebration. I've never been able to get to a Pride event in Halifax because of working in Antigonish during the summer, so this was one hellava first! I didn't see the march, but ended up in Trafalgar Square among wonderful people who were thoroughly enjoying the day celebrating people of all stripes and strokes.


Uniformed cuties :)

My former flatmate Richard is a drag queen, and I'd never seen him all done up as Kylie Z'ass. I got to the square and called him to find out where he was. The instructions to 'look for the glittery queen with blond hair' at a Pride event were quite useless, so we shouted back and forth on our mobiles until we found each other. Thus began the day of being asked every two minutes if someone could get a picture. We met up with Richard's friend, Sean/Noleen Colan, and with Sean's partner the four of us tried to get up the street to a bar. It took literally 20 minutes to go three blocks with all the pictures!


The incomparable Kylie Z'ass.

Once at the venue, which I can't remember the name of, Kylie and Noleen crashed the act onstage.


I think this was during 'Proud Mary'...

After watching the cabaret show for a while, we headed back down to another bar right across from the square for more cabaret. On the way we stopped for more pictures:


Noleen, Kylie and two lovely police officers


Two queens with the Queen.

The cabaret was amazing, the place was packed and I had beer spilled all over me. A great end to a great day.
