FOREIGN
BODIES - Foreigners as fetish: We love blokes abroad.
claims rampant rambler Adrian Gillan.…
We
assume a German will be lean and fit with a big
ding-dong and put on a clinical, manly show. We
guess an Italian with prove a well-proportioned
and passionate performer. We bet a Yank will crank
his clank like a right porn trooper. In Moscow I’m
being seen to by some half-imagined pale but beautiful
Cossack peasant with soulful eyes. The next day
I’m in Belfast, sorting some tough Catholic
lad out.
And the more obscure the nation, the greater
the coup! There are only two hundred thousand
Icelanders on the planet; only half of them are
men; and nearly all of them are gorgeous. And
you’ve got one of their geysers - their
national pride and joy !!
All this is great for foreign relations - drawing
together countless nationalities the world over.
It’s nice to come home, but nicer to bring
home memories of that holiday romance or bedroom
or backroom binge ...more...
Gay
Icon: Who? When? Where?
TRUMAN
CAPOTE
He
became a society celebrity and his fame reached
a peak with his Black and White Ball of 1966. The
producer Allan Carr organised a party for him in
Los Angeles' abandoned Lincoln Heights gaol.
In the 1970s he subjected himself
to bouts of drug taking and alcoholism. He visited
all the gay bars and clubs in New York including
'Studio 54', 'The Anvil', and 'The Mineshaft'. He
also wrote screenplays for films and his greatest
achievement was 'Breakfast at Tiffany's', (1958).
He was represented by Jay Presson
Allen's play 'Tru', (1990), in which Robert Morse
played Capote in a Broadway production.
In 1948 he met Jack Dunphy who
was married but they became lovers for years and
lifelong friends. However, he lost a lot of friends
with the publication in Esquire in 1975 of gossip
from his unfinished “Answered Prayers”.
He also contributed to Andy Warhol's Interview in
the 1970s. Some of the gossip was untrue and Gore
Vidal sued him and won ...more...

No sleep for the wicked though, as Josh ‘n
