Karl Lagerfeld - Beauty is also submitted to the taste of time, so a beautiful woman from the Belle Epoch is not exactly the perfect beauty of today, so beauty is something that changes with time.

Edward Fitzgerald - The Wine of Life keeps oozing drop by drop, The Leaves of Life keep falling one by one.

Peter Mandelson - Too often we think we can act without explaining and take decisions without justifying them.

Montgomery Clift - Failure and its accompanying misery is for the artist his most vital source of creative energy. …more…

In this, the 40th Anniversary summer of the Stonewall Riots, TransLondon co-founder, Christina Alley, argues that trans folk are a vital part of the LGBTQ community.

Forty years ago, this summer, police raided the Stonewall Inn in New York’s Greenwich Village – in order to arrest the customers, just for being gay. While such raids and arrests were not unusual, what was important and unusual about this raid was that – on this occasion – the customers decided to fight back. For several nights the riots raged on, changing the history of gay rights for good.

Every year since then, LGBTQ people all over the world have marked the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots with Pride marches and celebrations. But how many of us now acknowledge that, on that fateful evening at the Stonewall Inn, it was the drag queens and kings – the brave ancestors of today’s trans activists – who stood up to the police first?. ...more...

SPENCER:THE SECRETARIAL DIARIES

Soon after Ivor Novello had left school he and his parents moved to London and lived at 55 New Bond Street from 1910 to 1913. A singing coach was arranged for him. He lived in a flat at 11 Aldwych, above the Strand Theatre, from 1913 to 1951. A Blue Plaque was unveiled there in 1973 by Olive Gilbert who appeared in all of his musical plays.

On the way back from a holiday with Bobby Andrews in New York after the First World War, Ivor Novello received a cable offering him a starring role in the silent film The Call of the Blood, (1919). It was a great success and Ivor Novello was called 'the New Valentino' and 'the British Adonis'. He did many more silent films, and later on had more success in talkies.

The flat in Aldwych attracted many people from the theatre and literature including J. R. Ackerley, Noël Coward, Jack Buchanan, Gertrude Lawrence, Edward Marsh, Somerset Maugham, Paul Robeson, and Siegfried Sassoon.

In 1944 Ivor Novello went to prison at Wormwood Scrubs for four weeks of an eight-week sentence for the misuse of petrol coupons. He had taken up a fan's suggestion of using a Rolls Royce. ...more...
