The hotel I stayed in (Thistle on Portland St., good central location, OK if you're not planning on staying in the room for a long time) was about 5 minutes away from Manchester's Gay Village. So on a Sunday evening, even though I thought I was really tired as my flight was at 6:30 am, somehow I found myself in one of the clubs, Kiki, waiting to see a show with Sharon Needles and chatting to Gina and her daughter Kylie.
Those who know me have no doubts that this is "a bit" out of my comfort zone... But I figured, I'm on holidays, let me challenge myself and do stuff I don't normally do :-) The night turned out great, I went on my own and felt completely safe in the club, met two crazy ladies who gave me their spare "meet and greet" ticket with Sharon (I insisted on paying for it but they didn't want me to), had some gorgeous cocktails (asking a gay bartender for a "sex on the beach" - priceless!) and almost kissed a drag queen ;-)
So here are the pictures:
