While the gays of California (along with many happy gays all over the globe) were celebrating the overturning of Prop 8 (California’s ban on gay marriage), the lesbians of East London (and their chums) were doing everything but being matrimonial at Dalston Superstore. … Continue Reading

We wanted to make this film for the same reason we wanted to make the website – to capture a tiny essence of the people and the culture that’s blooming up around the gay scene right now. We love it and this is just a 140 second homage.
It’s an endorphin-shot summer’s day in East London. … Continue Reading

So. I could pretend that when I was growing up my Dad was Bruce Forsyth and my life was a spinny whirl of ex-Eastenders stars, artistes and celebrity hairdressers. But this was not the case. Well, apart from the fact that God apparently lived in our village … Continue Reading

As usual, Twat Boutique was filled with all manner of fun: including the top notch Hannah Holland DJing and a whole host of delightful dolls. Supreme as ever.
Excuse the tardiness with these pics… they’re almost vintage now, in scene time anyway eh?… … Continue Reading

It seems appropriate that the day after the 12 days of Christmas it was time for the first lez night of the year to make its mark. Snow and ice could not stop London’s intrepid girl travelers celebrating the end of Christmas festivities with er… more festivities. … Continue Reading

The shift east happened so long ago it’s almost distant memory… and these days the Kingsland Road is surely better known for its raucous gay nights than its Turkish cultural events. Some good nights remain in Soho, but the scene has largely cut its fringe asymmetric and gets off the tube at Old Street. Here’s ten London lesbian club nights we’ll be going to in 2010 … and two old favourites that should be springing back into life. … Continue Reading

As usual, on Friday morning last week, I was running so late for work, and wondering how I was going to make it through the day. Of course, the night before I had been at Twat Boutique taking in the abundance of beautiful people (especially the HOT HOT girls), and generally hot sexy energy pulsating through Dalston Superstore. … Continue Reading

Twat Boutique number 2 did not disappoint. Mainly because the music was so perfect we found it a struggle to stop dancing all night looong. We were like wind up jiving puppets… or something. The icing on the cake, so to speak, was a DJ set courtesy of Joe from Shitdisco, who aside from being masterful with his tune choices also took the time out of his evening to have a chit chat with TMC. Interview coming soon.

…Sounds dirty? It was. Electro-romantics Passion Pit DJed in the Dalston Superstore. Anna Leach interviewed drummer Nate Donmoyer
Passion Pit’s fruity lyrics about love, dreams and diamonds are set to heady synths, pulsing beats and tickly electronic maracas that make me come over all dizzy. It’s candy-sweet noughties romance music. “Hyperemotional electropop” as Rolling Stone call it, with “breathless little-boy vocals, all pushing skyward”. … Continue Reading

Twat Boutique is a new bi-monthly night at the Dalston Superstore, London. The Most Cake popped down for a gander, and discovered the following boxes were ticked: super hot girls, excellent indie/electro music, and a vibe so unpretentious Beth Ditto could quite easily wander in and no one would bat an eyelid. No scene queens here, all good wholesome Dalston fun. … Continue Reading
