PERVERSION ALL-PERVADING – Circa Grapevine Edtior: Adrian Gillan
Surely, argues Adrian Gillan, all but the most terrible sex involves fetish: an erotic fixation on clothing, physique, physical appearance, anatomy, activity, type or “tribe”.
Fetish is surprisingly mainstream; perversion all-pervading; and naughtiness the norm. It’s debatable whether any but the most mechanical sexual activity is possible without its fair share of fetish. And even mechanical sex can be elevated to the truly erotic, if fetishised.. ...more...

HOLLY JOHNSON : GAY ICON
In the early eighties Holly Johnson met Wolfgang Kuhle who became his personal manager and lover. Wolfgang became a successful art dealer, and a collector of paintings by Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell. In 1987 Holly fell out with the rest of his group. He also had an argument with his record company and won a case in court against them on restraint of trade.
In 1991 he was diagnosed with HIV, and then in an interview for The Times in April 1993 he revealed that he had AIDS. Not expecting to be alive for much longer he wrote a confessional autobiography, A Bone In My Flute, (1994), and held an exhibition of his paintings in the West End of London.
With his single Disco Heaven in 1999 he made his directorial debut with the video which features celebrities such as Boy George and Jasper Conran imitating gay icons like Divine and Leigh Bowery.
His greatest achievement was the hit “Relax” which was number one in the British pop charts in 1984. It caused a stir with its erotic content. It was particularly helped by BBC Radio 1 DJ Mike Read who aborted it in mid play for reasons of 'good taste'....more...

SPENCER:THE SECRETARIAL DIARIES
Edited
Highlights !!! Adrian Gillan
No Monday mews meet since a Bank Hol – will start to lose touch if don’t put in a show soon – tho’ Boss does drag seemingly long-term lodgers Kev ‘n Karl in for a couple of hours, to deal with “major rush” due to popularity of Circa’s new Job Search database and application tool, which matches gay-friendly employers with gay professional talent!
Informal Circa supper at Langtry’s at the Cadogan Hotel off Sloane Street in the eve – a place that truly weaves contemporary dining with classic Edwardian decadence; a place where history definitely comes alive. Consider Room 118, scene of the arrest of Oscar Wilde! Or the Edward VII Suite, renamed to celebrate the future King of England’s liaisons there with his close friend - the actress, eponymous Lillie Langtry! Fun had by all as we sit beneath striking original glass chandeliers and intricate ceiling designs, sipping brandy over bridge in front of the Carrera-marble Louis XIV fireplace, supported by the soft velvet of the warm, round medallion armchairs, intoxicated amidst the rich, elegant, yet strangely informal, atmosphere. A treat!
