The Twink Within Has Gone!

I remember in summer 1998, when Ginger Spice walked out on The Spice Girls, her reason for leaving was she left she could no longer live her fantasy character, and she needed to be herself…

And up until recently I never quite new what It meant to live life within a character…

BUT I now  feel as if I have done the same, Since moving to London, I was court up in wearing a super large bag, tight TIGHT t-shirts, and super TIGHT skinny Jeans, I wanted to look as young as possible, I wanted to be part of the TWINK crowd….

I don’t want this lonely lifestyle anymore….

It’s taken me many years to finally admit I feel countable within my skin…….. I enjoy being around good people, and the GAY DRAMA of who said what, just does not interest me anymore…….

I feel I have a heart full of LOVE, and one day I believe I will find that person for me…………. Until that day, I will focus on loving myself…

VIVA FOREVER! THE MUSICAL – THE FINAL CURTAIN

“Ladies and Gent’s would you please take your seats, and we hope that you enjoy the Show”

Walking past the Picadilly theatre on my way home last night and noticed that, they have already started to take down all the Viva Forever material…

The plot of the show which was created by Judy Craymer creator of Mamma Mia and Jennifer Saunders with music from The Spice Girls. While the show received BUDGET and  huge promotion, it was a FLOPP, within two months of it’s release it was given a face lift to try and create a spectacular show…

 The plot of the show was about a young female musician named  Viva who lives on a houseboat. The story starts when her band gets through to the audition stages of a TV show. The band get through multiple rounds of the auditions, but on the final round, Viva gets through, without her fellow band mates. As Viva follows her dreams, Viva Forever! charts her journey into the world of overnight celebrity and its impact on her mother and the friends she thought she’d have forever.

While I did see the show myself, I felt the whole TV Singing Contest Plot was just a cheap way of creating a story….. nothing about the show felt Spicey at all….. when you think Spice Girls…. you think CAMP…. and CAMP was as far away from the show as Dorothy is right now from the Yellow Brick Road.

It’s always a shame when theater shows close…….. But somehow I feel the show was rushed to fast…. and was not given enough creative input as it could have…
