Brief Encounters 2

Is it the warm weather? Celebs are out and about in Soho at the moment (bit like me really!). Last night it was dishy Jeremy Sheffield's turn to be spotted by my eagle eyes, reading a film script at a terrace. Not the first time I see him in Soho either (but then again, that is no real surprise....). God, this blog is turning into an online version of Hello...

Later on, on the way home, I met up with my former manager... And thankfully, guys' eyes are still meeting mine more often then usual...

    "reading a film script at a terrace."

    Is a bit of an assumption, he might have simply been reading his mail, wondering why his phone bill was so high or filling in job applications?

    Just because he is famous does not mean he is always interesting, if at all :0)

    Except that I saw it was a film script... and the fact that he was reading it doesn't make him interesting...

    So ner!!! ;O)

    I first spotted him years ago in the clip for Natalie Furtado's Torn. Didn't have a clue who he was at the time: just a nice piece of manhood. It is only when I came to this country that I learned who he was by seeing him in trailers for Holby City. I then saw him once crossing Seven Dials and was later told that he had been spotted at Woof http://www.clubwoof.co.uk/.

    As for his intellect, I can't say really, having never spoken to him.

    phew, fortuntely I read on having fallen off my seat when I read zefrog turned up at the set 6.30am (I couldn't post a comment to that blog), *thinking* that zefrog had fallen on hard times and had an offer he couldn't refuse from Liquid London, or Triga or the like...

    I had a bit of a celeb spot last friday night on my way to Soho. I passed Sir Trevor Nunn on his mobile outside the Royal Opera House, than 10 mins later standing behind me (no doubt trying to peek at my PIN) at the ATM opposite the Palace Theatre was Jo McGann (one of the brothers-the older one who appeared with Honor Blackman, who I also had the great fortune to be introduced to many years ago, in The Upper Hand, the British version of the US sitcom Who's the Boss).

A Short History of the Elephant and Castle and Its Name

Last night I attended a lecture by local historian Stephen Humphrey who discussed the general history of the Elephant & Castle, focussing more particularly on what he called its heyday (between 1850 and 1940). This is part of a week-long art project ( The Elephant Project ) hosted in an empty unit on the first floor of the infamous shopping centre, aiming to chart some of the changes currently happening to the area. When an historian starts talking about the Elephant and Castle, there is one subject he can not possibly avoid, even if he wanted to. Indeed my unsuspecting announcement on Facebook that I was attending such talk prompted a few people to ask the dreaded question: Where does the name of the area come from, for realz? Panoramic view of the Elephant and Castle around 1960/61. Those of us less badly informed than the rest have long discarded the theory that the name comes from the linguistic deformation of "Infanta de Castille", a name which would have become at...

Welcome to Towleroad Readers

On Wednesday, Towleroad , the top gay blog, who win all the awards, were kind enough to link to and quote from my post on Football and Homophobia . This has generated quite a bit a traffic in this otherwise desolate region of the blogosphere. So much so that Wednesday was my highest day ever with 132 hits (previous one was 97), this week is already my highest ever with 317 hits so far (previous one was 287) and this month is the highest month ever with already 865 hits (previous one, last month, was 739, thanks to the posts on the Danish cartoons). So thank you again to Towleroad and welcome to their readers. I hope they like what they see and will be back from time to time.

As Grace

Another picture reconstruction. This time the victim is Grace Jones and her picture by Jean Paul Goude (explained here ) which was used for the cover of her 1985 compilation album, Island Life . Unlike Ms Jones, though, this is all me posing. No reconstruction other than adding the original background and props in Photoshop. See the making-of picture of my version here . Below is another, more elaborate reconstruction of the pic done with the help of photographers Jasmin Teer (photography) and Dan Bosworth (Photoshop) in July 2009. This pic was "The Awesome" in The Goude, The Bad and The Awesome (March 2010).
