From today's Metro, and the Independent a couple of weeks ago. They seem to have the same picture editor...

Author, theatre critic, and Trinity College Research Fellow, Fintan Walsh has edited a book of plays and performances from Ireland called Queer Notions, and my own A Woman In Progress is in it. So too are works by Phillip McMahon, Una McKevitt, Neil Watkins, Loughlin Deegan, Niall Sweeney, Deirdre Kinahan and Verity-Alicia Mavenawitz.
I must admit I'm quite chuffed at the foreword by Frank McGuinness.
Though Penny is less impressed...

Things are going to be slow around here for a couple of days 'cos Mommy is busy with some stuff, but mostly with heading down (up?) to the Milk music festival. I got some things to do first, and then off to the beautiful grounds of Ballinlough Castle at the crack of dawn for gay mayhem. I'll bring my camera so that those of you who aren't going can later feel like you were there, through the medium of digital technology and tranny transference.

The performance will be filmed. If you are free next Wednesday afternoon, and would like to come along, click HERE and r.s.v.p.
Tickets are free obviously, and we would appreciate it very much. There are only 100 tickets, so if you really would like to come along, don't dawdle! More info at the link.

My bessie gay and graphic bitch Niall Sweeney was recently asked a simple question about his work with Your's Truly. He's never been one to give a simple answer when a florid one will do.
We have created many devotional images of Panti, and she appears in as many different guises and devotions as there are myths attributed to her. She has even been depicted possessing the bodies of birds, or creatures of land and sea. Her very name comes from ‘Pan' - to be of everything, transgressing all domains - and the Irish ‘Tí', meanting "house". So literally her name translates as "all over the shop". Etymologically, "Panti" is the origin of the Irish term "Bean an Tí", meaning "landlady."
In contemporary culture, Drag-Queens lie somewhere between Super-Heroes and Early Christian Virgin Martyrs. They transform tradgedy into good times. Striking exagurrated and impossible silhouettes, we fantasize about being them. They have unique powers, generally focussed on one aspect of their personality, or part of their body. And we invoke them - and their special body parts - to emancipate us from the trials of our lives by going through hell themselves. And, sometimes, they literally do die for us.
Much like Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock prints from the 18th century, the graphic scenarios we create with Panti are the pictures from our floating world of Kabuki, courtesans and geisha. The characters, the masks, the gestures 'just-so', a comedy of strange beauty. They are a kind of bestiary; a typology of the parts that make Panti the thoroughly gestaltian girl she has grown up to be.

You can download all of my OpenFM radio shows HERE, so you can listen to them on your iPod and bring a little gay to the long dull commute from your dreary grey housing estate, to your call centre job in a dreary grey industrial estate. You're welcome.
Last Sunday's show Brendan Courtney, writer Phillip McMahon, gay history with Tonie Walsh, the World Cup, Eurovision, David Bowie audition, music that made me gay, an unruly mouse, and other random gayness.
Sunday's show was my last show - OpenFM's temporary license is up and is now off the air. I've really enjoyed doing it though, so maybe I'll see if another station wants to up their mouthy trannie quotient. And sure why wouldn't they?!
