Flippin’ eck my hideous humping heaving Hush Puppies, how utterly amazing was the Bizarre Ball??! Yep, the cloakroom was a wee bit of a shambles, beer wasn’t dirt cheap, and the schedule got a tad messed up due to the last-minute venue change, but considering we managed to bag a location for around 2,000 people given only a few days’ notice after the police temporarily shut SeOne down, I think it was a TERRIFIC event. Woooooo! I just can’t tell you how glad I am that we managed to pull enough strings for the Ball to go ahead - I really think I would have sobbed into my Japanese cutesy mushroom-shaped pillow if we’d had to cancel.

It was such a treat to meet you all! What a crowd, huh?! More eye-candy than a Santa sack full of Woolies pick ‘n’ mix. So, did anyone manage to pull?

Thanks for your support during my incestuous ditty with darling Desmond O’Connor. I LOVE that guy so intensely, he’s like a son to me… Here at Bizarre we reckon he’s going to be bigger than a T-Rex’s turgid todger, so we’ll be keeping you updated as to his antics. If you liked the way he strummed his tiny instrument, do let him know - his MySpace site is Myspace.com/desoconnor. As you could probably tell, I was a touch nervy about singing with him; there hadn’t been chance to practice and I was petrified I was going to forget the words. Your encouraging whooping helped a lot though - cheers m’dears (”cheers m’dears” is actually my catchphrase here at Bizarre Towers, and now you’ve all heard me say it on stage…shall I make it my trademark?!). In the end, as soon as I’d finished I wanted to get right back on that platform and do it again, with guts and gusto and more thrusting! Ha! As it happens, Des has very flatteringly asked me if I’d like to duet with him again, so now I’ve slayed my stagefright I’m going to give it another pop, for sure.

Did any of you have a go in Domination Corner? I did, and it was a really enlightening experience. Despite having been to clubs like Torture Garden more than a few times, I’ve never been spanked in public before. Talk about cruising for a bruising though - lordy lord, my ass is PURPLE! It’s like a frickin’ Ribena berry!

Highlights of the night for me included:

* Seeing Deputy Editor Kate Hodges jamming on bass with The Priscillas, wrapped in Bacofoil wizardry and hollering her heart out with giant sunglasses on
* Meeting Amy Bowers in person, the funeral-directing reader who won Star Letter a while ago for sending in photos of the giant Iced Gem she’d baked from a How To, and Jannine - Happy 21st Birthday, babycakes! In fact, saying hello to as many readers as I could was the absolute best part of the whole do

* Dr. Blackthorn’s inflatable Pretty Pervy moustaches

* Daiquiri Dusk’s upside-down nipple tassle twirl. Good on ya girl, you deserved to win our Battle of Burlesque

* Reader David Kudish’s incredible bone necklace - he spent several nights cleaning pork ribs for the occassion

* Going completely ga-ga-giddy on two glasses of wine because I was on such an adrenaline high

* Screaming out that we’re all PROUD TO BE DIFFERENT and the stage being stormed

* Scrubbing all the body paint out of my shower on Sunday…

SEE YOU ALL NEXT YEAR!

If you can’t wait until then to get your rocks off, then why not enter our competition to win one of two pairs of tix to the Opal Nera Hallowe’en Party?
