Any other Barbesexualists going to Pride in the Park - or are y'all going to Anna's party?

Nope I'm going to another friend's wedding...

Bah! Heteronormoppressor!

I shall be there, shoving it in people's faces - weather's gonna be crap though, time to dig out the rubber fetish gear, methinks...

I WANT to go, and I want to go to Anna's party, too, but I am sadly "otherwise engaged..."

If I'd bothered to find out when Pride was I wouldn't have had a party on the same day because... well I'd be going but I'm an idiot. Anyway it's going to rain. Ha.

Definitly going with a couple of mates. Sounds like larfs, rain or no rain!

...can't afford fetish gear... I'll bring some cling film

Ooh Dan, that link must have been naughty coz work has denied me access.

Anyway, I'm going although I still have got to get a ticket. Will be marching with my running club in the morning, although, may well be hung over due to a hen party tonight. More hetero madness, when will it end I ask you!

Errr... not really. Unless there's something in the HTML that I can't spot. It's just a link to odd (though never explicitly sexual) stories about some guy wrapping Roy Orbison in clingfilm.

Sorry about that, I would have included a warning if I though it was going to look bad or fire off any website checkers.

Tha mi duilich, I can't come because i'll be off in Orkney, chilling (literally, I suspect) with my opposite-gendered partner. Maybe even wrapping hir in clingfilm if it gets too cold. Hope you all have fun, though - and that the rain stops.
 
 
Ganesh
13:03 / 25.07.03
The 'Orbison in clingfilm' stories are parody, a rather wonderful pisstake of ultra-specific fetishes...
 
 
waxy dan
13:33 / 25.07.03
Parody? You mean they're not actual accounts???
 
 
Mr Messy
15:23 / 25.07.03
Hmm, Roy Orbison. My work will ban anything. I'm surprised they've not banned Barbelith already.

Hope that just because I've written that now that it will be made so.

I dunno... I can kinda understand the urge to ban Roy Orbison to be honest. The urge to wrap him in clingfilm however....

Hey, London dudes, dudettes and duderesques - why not come to Anna's party after Pride? Just a thought...
 
 
Ganesh
23:03 / 25.07.03
Because we'll be fucked out of our faces and heading for XXL, I expect...

That page looks too scary for my innocent little mind Ganesh. Stop corrupting Barbelith Young Team by linking us to clubs where people wear tank tops.

And don't forget my liddle sugar plum bunnies, be super gay just for a day!

Oh, fair enough, then. Shame - I was hoping to meet Xoc for the first time, and to meet Ganesh again, thereby persuading him that I'm not the complete arse he probably thinks I am from some of my more recent, twatty posts...

What is it with you Pride Parade people?
 
 
Ganesh
09:31 / 26.07.03
Bill, if you're going to express a negative opinion... JUST STOP IT!
 
 
Bill Posters
09:44 / 26.07.03
now now, there's nothing negative about enquiring why oh why you intend to spend the day dancing about dressed as a giant penis instead of coming to Anna's party.
 
 
Bill Posters
09:47 / 26.07.03
which one probably could attend dressed as a giant penis anyway, so long as it was a penis from 1885-1985.

Well, by a bizarre twist of coincidence, the theme for this year's Parade is Poovery Through The Ages (although not that exact title, obviously), and one can choose to express one's inner sssibilance in clothing from any 20th Century decade (or, um, this 21st Century one). So... I could well be a plushly-escutcheoned 1970s penis, say, or perhaps a 1980s-style Neville Brody-esque Buffalo Cock.

This is all somewhat speculative, however, as I cannot shift Xoc's snoring bulk from the bed, and suspect we'll be skipping the Parade and whisking our bekilted tushes straight to Hyde Park.

Sorry to miss y'all - and I only think you're a partial arse, JtB. You're still a third of my Barbelith Fantasy Threesome...

Well Xoc's snoring bulk™ is now all leathered and zhoozhed up and I'm off to shove my sexuality down the throats of entirely uninterested passers-by.

It won't be the same without Anna in her coat of many colours to use as a landmark when parading around London but we will be wearing our finest, perviest, shiny boots of leather in her honour. Partayyyy hard, people.

And JtB, we're poofs, Man, we loooove arses.

One year we will actually manage to get up and out and do more than catch the tail end of the parade. We are such shit poofs really. Always too busy having fun with the lesbians. They'll ask us to hand back our Sisterhood membership cards.

Ganesh does look rather fabulous in his Hamish MacBeth meets Terminator 3 outfit.

Is someone going to take pictures and post them here? I would like to see the more social Barbe-queers in their finery, so that I may live vicariously. Please?

11:38 / 26.07.03
Same goes for Anna's party, of course...

Ooh yeah, I want to see the two of you all decked out with pride!

Personally, I think that the fact that you have to pay to go to Gay pride discourages many people from going. The bands aren’t particularly good, the Notting Hill carnival is free, Why isn’t Gay pride? Maybe it is funding from the authorities. I would like to come to Pride but I don’t want to pay 25quid.
 
 
Ganesh
23:50 / 26.07.03
Bit late now anyway. It's over.

I know it’s over, still I cling.

Ganesh and Xoc. You wore kilts? Cool beans.

However, this means that the pair I spied from a distance in the Urban tent, who looked just like I imagined you to look, cannot have been you.

Sigh.

No, that was Duncan and Abs from Blue, Mr M. An easy mistake to make, mind. We get that a lot. Particularly from visually challenged people and chubby chasers.

Too much champagne, too much of everything really. Hooray for gay abandon! And there was no Popstarz tent either. But we danced in the rain anyway.
