Celebrating Global Pride Day, 27th June 2022 🏳🌈 For as long as I can remember, I have always admired those fabulous humans who dress exactly how they want to dress, invariably in a flamboyant manner, reflecting that true essence of themselves. Top of the Pops in the early 70s was the most amazing concoction of [...]

My Dad Thinks I’m a Fairy! Does he really? To level with you, my dad doesn’t think I’m a fairy at all.
