Hello m’dears, mOther here!
First off, congratulations to Miss Vene-Mous of the stunned mullet haircut and foghorn voice who won – yes, won – Death By Drag at Connections Night club. By all reports her make-up did improve drastically by the end of the comp’ (a little shading never hurts does it darl’) and now one hopes she goes out and gets new hair with the cash prize she took home. Yes, the stunned mullet dates so quickly. The mullet, it ain’t even a Gucci…!
For all of those far too lazy to get off their fat arses and punch a few keys on a computer to find out who’s playing at The Court Hotel on any given weekend… don’t worry, mOther got off hers and did the hard yards for you! Well, that’s a lie really. My arse isn’t fat. Well, it’s phat, but not fat. There’s a distinct semantic difference. It lies in the ‘ph’. Anyway… on a Friday night Dirty Den, Sir Clancealot and newbie Adrian slam it hard outside while Feminem keeps it fresh in the main room. Come Saturday and Pink Corduroy have the hot tunes strumming outside, followed by Sir Clancealot and Miss Fresh the Fem herself. Inside? DJ’s DannyBoi and Nick Alexander. Then, when Sunday (finally) roles around, expect Valentine Moon and Nick Alexander to be there, serving up a treat of sweet disco tunes.
And speaking of Sunday, ZOO is still the poo so get a whiff of where it’s at as DJ Space Ace and crew serve up a night dedicated to freaks. ZOO is located at 234 William Street, although entry is through the rear. Oh, how the freak shall inherit the Perth.
After slamming the Queen of Pop in her now infamous vlog (vlog, noun, a video blog) online at myspace.com/femfresh, in which she pitted the latest long player from Mariah ‘Pariah’ Carey against Lady ‘I’m so old, so old…so oooold’ Madonna, Feminem has gone and paid homage to Madonna’s worst album to date in a show that’s sure to be magnificent. Yes, expect a little spot of Hard Candy to crack your teeth with excitement as Fem and friends hit the stage at The Court Hotel on Saturday, July 5. Sticky and sweet… just how you like it!

Friday, July 25 sees Connections Nightclub turn into a Sideshow. Yes, get your carnival on as a whole assortment of funfair antics spill out across this room of disco de frights. Expect a hall of mirrors, rollercoasters (that’s coasters that roll), popcorn machines, fortune tellers, palm readers, bearded ladies, fire breathers and more freaks than you could poke a stick at… and freaks love being poked with sticks. Free candy for all insures a sugar rush of mega proportions. Come on… get your freak on.
Big news this month is that The Giselle – former Krazy Krushgroove Kid and her off Giselle & The Glamour Addicts fame and pop sensation Giselle & The Tokyo Red Eyes – is apparently in line to host Lesbian Mud Wrestling.
