PatrickStrud: @gogibbogo @Charliecondou @JOJEHARVEY well, are any of you going to the European Diversity Awards on Thursday? We can gossip there!

JOJEHARVEY: @PatrickStrud @gogibbogo @charliecondou no, I never get invited anywhere polidically gay these days..

PatrickStrud: @JOJEHARVEY @gogibbogo @Charliecondou that's because you spell it 'polidically'. And because you famously have no sense of humour ;)

Charliecondou: @PatrickStrud @gogibbogo @JOJEHARVEY I can't, I'm filming!!

gogibbogo: @PatrickStrud @charliecondou @jojeharvey Alas I'm not important/tall/scandalous/interesting enough to be invited to such things

JOJEHARVEY: @PatrickStrud @gogibbogo @charliecondou jeez, spelling aside, you'd think I'd fit right in...

gogibbogo: @JOJEHARVEY @patrickstrud @charliecondou Exactly. You're European AND diverse. Boxes ticked.

THE PRESS SNAP

BoyGeorge: Should be illegal to shoot anyone's picture without permission, anywhere, anytime without them knowing! Sue the French snapper, Liz!

Tom_In_Oz_: @BoyGeorge agree just ask @Charliecondou how hard it is to keep his kids outta the press... Lame Brit tabloids!
 

Charliecondou: RT @BoyGeorge: Should be illegal to shoot anyone's picture without permission, anywhere, anytime without them knowing!  Sue the French snapper, Liz!

joemuggs: @BoyGeorge @Charliecondou You mean any photographer who takes a pic of a crowd should need permission from every person?

Charliecondou: @joemuggs come on now Joe, you're being facetious. You know exactly what I mean

joemuggs: @Charliecondou Honestly I'm not… it's a serious point - different people's freedoms have to be balanced against one another.

Charliecondou: @joemuggs there's a big difference between taking a photo of a crowd and focusing a long lens on a particular person in their private accom

joemuggs: @Charliecondou sure - but what you retweeted from George said "anywhere, any time", not just in private places. Taking pictures of people in private places IS illegal already, I think… law is just not enforced. 

Charliecondou: @joemuggs fair enough

FACE BOOK FRAUD

simongregson123: Someone is pretending to be me on face book tis not I

DON’T BE A QUEEN - BE A DRAG!

A large crowd watches approximately 50 drag queens in high heels race a gruelling 1km around the back streets of Soho in the second annual Soho Drag Race, raising funds for the charity for young, homeless LGBT people, the Albert Kennedy Trust.

The Albert Kennedy Trust works with 16-25 year old lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans young people who are homeless or live in a hostile environment. The Soho race is sponsored and hosted by the well-known Admiral Duncan pub in Old Compton St and a temporary stage was erected outside it for the event, which was hosted by entertainer Candy Slag In Drag and Coronation Street star Charlie Condou.

The race was hotly contested by at least some of the competitors, although others took it rather easily, and some found the going too tough; one pulled off her high pink heels after the first 200 metres and finished the race barefoot. As well as wearing heels (or running as a three-legged team), those taking part have to raise at least £50 for the AKT, the cost of keeping one of the 500 young people supported by the trust off the streets for a weekend.

After the race, while we were waiting for Charlie Condou to arrive and present the prizes, Rose Garden, from Northern Ireland, gave a spell-binding performance, aided at one point by one of the contestants who had come dressed in a Pussy Riot based outfit and joined in on stage with air guitar. The winner was Latvian-born Olegs Pushkus (aka Barbara), with Murilo Sanchez in second place, and Miss Mince Meat third, and there was also a prize for the person raising the most sponsorship - won by a runner from Maidenhead, who it appears  raised around the total amount made by last year's race - the first in what is intended to be an annual event. This year the race attracted more entrants, a bigger crowd and made much more for a worthwhile charity.
