T-shirts have always been the perfect way to make a stylish yet simple statement: from Katharine Hamnett’s ‘Education not Missiles’ to House of Holland’s ‘I’ll Show You Who’s Boss Kate Moss’. However, if you want to be exposed to some tops which should have well and truly stayed in the closet look no further… … Continue Reading

It’s time to separate the style from the sleaze, the women from the teens. Yes. The highly anticipated sister of men’s magazine Fantastic Man, The Gentlewoman has finally arrived. From ‘Ga-Ga Ooh la la’ to kick ass ‘Kathryn Bigelow’, it’s been a great start to the decade for super stylish female talent in the media – and so, the time is now for The Gentlewoman to represent this breed of female style intelligentsia.

It’s a Monday morning and I can’t think straight! And what better way to dream away those post-weekend blues than to a beautifully composed song by the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (NFAK), and importantly a video featuring the gorgeous Lisa Ray – a video that many newcomers to the Lisa Ray fan base may have left undiscovered. … Continue Reading

‘Saying there are no gays here, is like saying there are no monsoon seasons in Bombay’ – something along those lines is one of my fave movie quotes from the indie movie Bombay Boys. But that was in 1998, when queer Indian identities were controversial – now it seems India really is as gay as its monsoon season, and fast becoming a mainstream gay hotspot. The New Pre-Raphaelites on the other hand is something away from the mainstream but nevertheless queer. … Continue Reading

So. We were watching The Fifth Element the other day, and it got us thinking (as you do). These weren’t deep and meaningful talks or anything, not really. But we love a good action film. All too often the good ones tend to be made for the boys, and let’s be frank, sometimes the boys hog all the glory, leaving little room for anything else (except massive explosions and too-loud crashes). … Continue Reading

I’m a 24 year old lesbian and I have a problem. My girlfriend and I are very much in love and we’ve been together for two-and-a-half years. We have a great sex life and are very imaginative and loving. My problem is that even though we have a great time, I really want her to use a massive dildo on me. … Continue Reading
I have been in a relationship with my girlfriend for 6 months and I love her very much. I was thinking about suggesting that we move in together soon. However, she recently dropped the bombshell that she has been offered the opportunity to launch a new edition of the magazine she works for in Singapore. It would be a fantastic career move for her and we didn’t even discuss the possibility of her turning it down. She has suggested that I could go with her. … Continue Reading

Fever Ray gig, Shepherds Bush Empire, 17.07.09… here’s a snippet of a conversation that took place. Plus, a clip of “When I Grow Up”: possibly our favourite music video and song in a while, or maybe ever!
D.B.C – “I can’t see (peeks between the crowds), where is she?”
B.F – “Is that her in the African Voodoo ensemble? This is surreal and eerie and a bit scary.”
D.B.C – “You love it!” … Continue Reading
