Scrubber Chic - Cleaner Couture

I know this is yesterdays chip paper, but I've been busy. I have a life away from my office you know. Ok who am I kidding, Ive just been too busy enjoying spring and sunbathing in my garden.

Anyway, abusing staff and then temporarily becoming them is fabulous. Scrubbing has never been so chic.

Personally Ive never really been tempted to abuse our staff. I always thought "whats in it for me", clearly a new Wardrobe by the looks of things. But now that its in Vogue Im going to be throwing all kinds of shit at out cleaners, phones, ornaments, heavy books, sharp objects you name it ill be chucking it.
How can they do this to my Idol, though as always she worked it, literally.

Firstly Naomi is a higher being, second to none

Secondly that moaning bitch is fucking lucky, I would kill to be attacked by a super model.


Thirdly, though not related, I wish to god my cleaner would take a few style tips from the great woman. I know we probably pay her third world wagers , but come on everyone can afford soap and conditioner.Now Im not expecting her to ditch the tabbard and don a silver Dolce and Gabbana dress, complete with killer heels and attitude to boot, after all everyone knows that mopping in Manolo's is hell on the legs, but honey a little self respect, a hair brush and a lot of little Maybelline wouldn't go a miss. Think Hilda Odgen genetically spliced with the evil girl from The Ring and your on the right channel.

Equality

I want to take this opportunity to share with you an article from pinknews.com

Its a speech given recently by our Prime Minister, Tony Blair at an equality dinner. Now whilst I don't belive in a lot of his policies, one thing I cant escape is the good work his party has done for the gay and lesbian community.

Mr Bush could learn a lot from Mr Blair, and for this reason, for once, I am very proud to be British.


Tony Blair's speech in full


The Prime Minister was speaking at the Stonewall Equality dinner at the Dorchester Hotel, central London, this evening.

He was introduced by Stonewall�s chief executive, Ben Summerskill.

Ben Summerskill: I would like to welcome all of you here tonight. I am delighted to introduce our opening speaker.

I first met him 14 years ago, when my job was to show him round Harrow Rd police station in west London � don�t ask.

Laughter

He had just been appointed Shadow Home Secretary, and I will always remember that during a Q&A with a number of police officers, he said very firmly that he thought in the fullness of time, it was critically important that police services reflected the communities they serve. There was a lot of shuffling of size 12 feet.

Laughter

Needless to say, three, I think were women, and two were black. I do remember thinking at the time, this is a guy who takes equality seriously and I think there was evidence of that in the intervening years.

I think it was James Callaghan who said rather ruefully, shortly after he retired, that as far as he could see the only real success he had in government was the relocation of the driver and vehicle licensing centre.

Laughter

My own view is that, even with civil partnerships alone, almost matches �

Laughter, Applause

He has done so much more than that for gay people in this country. He has been a good friend, a good friend to Stonewall, a good friend to gay people across Britain. I am delighted to introduce him, he is the MP for Sedgefield, Tony Blair.

Applause


Tony Blair, PM: It is a real honour to be here this evening at the Stonewall Equality dinner, and to say thank you to Ben for that kind introduction.

Actually, I remember Harrow Rd police station.

Laughter

I remember it particularly because there was a member of my staff at the time who had a very good sense of humour and she said to me, because she knew some of the issues that were going to come up, including gay rights, that actually I should go for it. It went down really well.

Laughter

And afterwards she said: Can you still not tell when I am joking?

Laughter

Just before I came here tonight, I, er, this is a sad reflection of type of thing you do towards the end of your time in office, I got out one of my old speeches and re-read it.

Laughter

It was a speech back in 1994, when, I think it was on an amendment by Edwina Currie and Neil Kinnock, interestingly enough, it wasn't a combination that was often found.

They had come together to move an amendment on equality on the age of consent. The thing that really struck me, re-reading the speech this evening, was just how a whole lot of things that nowadays we would more or less take for granted.

I mean, you had to start literally with the very, very first principles. including arguments like: how do you stop people being persuaded to be gay?

And I was thinking that is an interesting idea.

I have got five really good arguments in favour of being gay. And I remember saying to the guy who was on the opposite side afterwards: "You know, I am not gay and I wouldn't be persuaded by five really good arguments."

And he said to me: "No, no, of course not, of course not." And I said: "But maybe it is the same the other way round?" He had never thought of it like that at all obviously.

Laughter

The interesting thing is that you then fast-forward to last night in the House of Lords, and the fact is the vote was won, which is an incredible thing.

Applause

And I really just wanted to say two things about the changes that have happened over the past ten years, which you will know very well.

There are a lot of important things, but I think civil partnerships is really the thing as I was saying to people earlier, it doesn't just give you a lot of pride, but it actually brought real joy.

I don't know whether you remember the very first day, and it was quite a bizarre circumstance that the first ceremonies were actually in Northern Ireland.

Laughter

I was so struck by it, it was so alive, I remember actually seeing the pictures on television. It is not often that you sort of skip around in my job, I can assure you, But it really the fact that that the people were so happy and the fact that you felt just one major, major change had happened, of which everyone can feel really proud.

And now I think we were just saying, was it 16,000 civil partnerships, and what is interesting now is that other countries in Europe are looking at this legislation, and it is very divisive still in Spain and Italy at the moment. But nonetheless it is happening.

This is my second reflection about it all.

There are a whole load of different pieces of legislation, which I will not rehearse here, but what has happened is that the culture of the country has changed in a definable way as a result of it. And here is what I think is really interesting.

The change in the culture and the civilising effect of it has gone far greater than the gay and lesbian community.

In other words, by taking a stand on these issues and by removing prejudice and discrimination, and by enabling people to stand proud as what they are, it has had an impact that I think is far more profound in the way the country thinks about itself.

And I want to say we have an immensely proud history, that is able to stand on its own merits in the 21st Century and say that we know we have a great future.

One thing I think is very important for any country that is to succeed in the future you make the most of the talents and abilities of your people.

If you allow discrimination to fester, that is a complete rejection of that modernising and civilising notion.

Applause

That is what is really important and it is why as the day approaches I mean even I get casual about this legacy business

Laughter

Well I think it is actually part of the last ten years that certainly I will look back on with a lot of pride.

However there is one final thing I wanted to say to you and it is this.

It would not have happened really, I mean, some people this evening have been very kind and said that it took a certain amount of political courage.

Well yes it did, but you know I remember back in the early 80s when this type of issue was condemned as political correctness, when this was the loony-left, as it were, engaged in this.

Stonewall, in my view, played a fundamental and often insufficiently recognised part in achieving this. I want to tell you why.

When you are trying to do something that is difficult, divisive and when, as a politician, you do something that you know is going to be controversial it is all very well saying well I want to do this and you can see some of you people are up for it and some of them are thinking well, hmm

Laughter

What actually matters enormously is that the people from outside politics that you are trying to do it with have a sufficient intelligence and sensitivity, which I think has really defined the Stonewall campaign, I define it as a polite determination.

In other words, a complete push and drive to get the thing done, but also a way of doing it that is always looking to bring people onside, that is always looking to understand sensitivities, that is always willing to say, "look, this is something we would like to help get done with you in a sensible and intelligent way."

What Stonewall did, and Angela Mason, who I thought was absolutely fantastic when she was the Head, and now Ben what they did was remarkable and it is a real tribute.

Applause

And you see here we are this evening at the Stonewall Equality dinner, and a lot of the tables are from some of the best-known names in business and commerce, and this is part of the diversity agenda now of these big companies.

Now everyone is entirely in favour of this. There is a greater competition for the so-called gay and lesbian vote.

This is a fantastic thing that all the party leaders today, and in the future actually all of them will be, I think, in favour of equality.

That is a sign of how much things have changed and actually we should not be worried about that, we should actually be proud of it. It is a great achievement for our country.

I just wanted to say this evening how deeply grateful I am for the invitation to come along and be here tonight with you at the Stonewall Equality dinner.

I would like to thank each and every one of you for helping in what will be an important signal that you are part of the mainstream of our society today, and that progress does actually come about because people are determined.

Thank you to you because we could not have done it without you and I do look back on it with pride and I wanted to share that with you.

Thank you very much.

Applause

Boycott Abercrombie

Abercrombie and Bitch are set to invade our shores. Their first UK store recently opened on London's Saville Row, and I can tell you now it wont be long until every fucking high street has a branch(much to my disgust). After all the Americanisation of England is an upward trend which which is here to stay.

Personally I hate the brand, they pretty much stand for everything I loathe. I think it has something to do with the college jock image it portrays, and its blatant use of "in-store models" which translates in to English as "failed model/reality TV star shelf stacking shop bitches".

I will give credit when its due, I do like their jeans. I've always fancied a some, though I couldn't justify spending $2000 on Airfare to purchase a pair. Turns out they only cost $160, which in England is pretty reasonable though in the US they probably retail for half that.

So will I be making the trip down to London for the Abercrombie experience. Fuck no.

Bereavement

My gloriously gold phone has been stolen .

Devastated.
I wouldn't mind so much if it had been kidnapped and tortured by terrorists (the US government) with the footage shown live across the world on AlJazeera TV, imprisoned by the fashion police or been held hostage for ransom by Colombian drug gangs. But no, it met a less than glamorous fate after being stolen by some phone robbing gypsy in Bar Fibre, Leeds.

National Smoking Day

I received an email today from my company informing me of a new employee, the job title was ridiculous but basically translated into "Director of Smoking". Bitch got my dream job. Everyone know I smoke therefore I am, after all I was approached by the Olympic committee to represent England in competitive smoking at the next Olympic games (sponsored by Lucky Strikes). But no. As usual I was overlooked for promotion. If I were to go on Mastermind, Marlboro lights would be my specialist subject.

Oh but theres more. She sent out an email to all employees explaining a few things. Turns out she is anti smoking. Who would of thought, a Director of Smoking who doesn't even smoke. What next, an FD who cant count? What more she's urging employees to quit the smokes. Quit I tell you. Honestly I don't know what to think any more, the world's going mad.

Listen Bitch, I dont buy into your new age hippy son of a preacher man bullshit and I don't know what your game is, but quite frankly I don't like it.

I didn't respond to her email, for words alone could not give justice to my thoughts, but I could think of a song.

Here it is. A song dedicated to my beloved Marlboro light

Dance off.

Everyone has a song or two festering in the back of their closet. Out of sight to avoid temptation and detection. One so shameful it should remain hidden for the whole of eternity. Its your guilty secret, like Crack, Oreos or Oprah. You know its wrong and you know you shouldn't, but despite your best efforts you love it unconditionally and cant bring yourself to throw it out with the trash.
This ones mine. OK who am I kidding, I've racks upon racks of hideously embarrassing tracks. This ones just the tip of my musical iceberg.


I have to say it, I think Bird Flu is fucking fabulous.

About an hour ago I was kicking back with a beer and Zane Lowe's radio1 show for company and the following song came on. I swear I haven't danced that hard and that low since my days in the Caribbean, and they know how to dance there. Ill never forget my first dance/whine off, but that story my friends is for another time. When the track started my inner dance demon took over and I lost myself in the beat, a feeling I've been missing recently, and I fucking love it. I moved so much I actually felt my lungs beginning to collapse. They don't call me '40 a day Macy Gay' for nothing.

Here it is, turn it up loud and I challenge you not to move.

All Work and no play

You know how I epitomise corporate chic, right. Well I think I'm beginning to take it a little to far. Its my day off tomorrow as it is every weekend and for some stupid fucking reason I volunteered myself to put in a few hours at the office. One of you slags slap me hard and make it fast, I must be fucking retarded. Everyone knows that all work and no play makes for an unhappy gay, and trust me this bitch ain't smiling.

Thursday

The reason I love blogging is that it gives me an outlet, an escape from the mundane and a platform from which to vent, all under the cover of relative anonymity. Sure a handful of selected friends read my little narcissistic shrine but on the whole I could be anyone writing about anything being read by anyone. It never really occured to me that people from my walk of life, actual people whom I've met, come into contact, physically spoken to, would read this. I liked it that way.

Now I was checking my blog stats a couple of weeks ago and discovered that people from my work place (I work in the sports media industry) have been reading, or at the very least have stumbled across my site. Were talking multiple hits spread over numerous days.

I'm sure some of you out there can understand how I felt.

The first question I raised with myself was why the culprit(s) has not mentioned it. My only answer is that they want to keep their ace up their sleeve.

Secondly, did they think I wouldn't find out.

IP checker, bitches. They don't call me gay geek chic for nothing.

I really shouldn't care, I know, but I feel invaded. What I love most about my job is that even though I've worked there for nearly four years barely anyone one knows the slightest thing about me. I love the anonymity, I thrive on it. Im there for my pay cheque and the prospect of greater ones, nothing more. I actually cant bear the thought of someone at work knowing whats going on inside me head.

Thats why I've been reigned in of late. I've been planning my next move. Pre-empting what could happen, playing through all the possible outcomes, and you know what I decided.

FUCK IT, and fuck them.

I have been publicly humiliated more times than I care to remember, and shunned more times than a wearer of Burberry, what's one more notch on my other bedpost, and I most certainly will not be silenced, that's what adolescence was for.

Then I remembered the deal clincher, I'm freakin fabulous. The world needs to listen to my self inflated egotistical escapades. Besides, this here blog is my stage for setting the standards you all wish to meet. If I stop now how on earth will you measure your worth?

On a less serious note I dont think I can stop. I will happily admit that the internet has been seated next to my other addictions, Stoli and Boli on one side and the Marlboro man on the other, with Harvey nichols across the table.

Get Far - Shining Star Vs Dj Disciple - Work it Out vs Camille Jones - The Creeps

This song made a small dent in the dance scene last year. I reckon its going to be huge this year, if not THE dance track of the year.

If you do some digging there are some filthy remixes floating arround the net, especially one by pornoccult.

Enjoy

Get Far - Shining Star
(PS this isn't the actual vid, its not been recorded........ yet)


Now this next one might not be up for my soon to be coveted title of track of the year, but I fucking love it. Again for all you funky junkies out there some dangerously dirty remixes are finding their way to the net if you know where to look.

DJ Disciple - Work it Out.


For good measure I thought Id throw in one of my current faves, although its practically antique now.

Camille Jones - The Creeps
