About me:

After stepping back out of the limelight for the best part (WAS there a best part?) of 2008, I debuted in 2009 as 'Vi' (see the 3rd slideshow), along with 'Hilda' and 'Eileen' at 'The School Of Life' sermon on Seduction, delivered by Sam Roddick, at 11.30am at the Conway Hall, London 15th February 2009. Vi, Hilda, Eileen and a bevy of other tealadies stimulated the palate of the congregation with Cock Cakes and Boob Jellies. Fanny joined us for heavy petting. See www.theschooloflife.com for further enlightenment. In accord with my previously uninterrupted trajectory, I used this event as a launch pad to resume my former occupation as general all round entertaining donner of persona's and creator of character and costume. Please see slideshow NO 1 to aquaint yourself with previous triumphs of enthusiasm, make up and inspiration over actual training and fear of foolishness. The Adams Atlas slideshow below is photographed by most ably and inspirationly by Adam Piggott (assisted by the lovely Jayne) both also talented members of the Bohemia Ukulele Band, and The Lucky Ones. More to come soon from this team! Have had to postpone Midsummers Day shoot due to dodgy neck and arm thing. On another note, we are all basking in the glory of the first Shadey Pines gig on the 14th June. More pics to follow JULY 4th. GAY SHAME, presented by Duckie, at Brixton Academy was full, hot, exhausting and FABULOUS! Millinery Misfits kept going right til the end, 4am, due to the amazing stamina of the Sartorial Eventists. Miss Tam Fitz (Tam Lush) and Miss Hattie Fitz ( myself), were left panting in their wake... We are keen to see Daniella's photographs! JULY 11th. ST LEONARDS FESTIVAL 2009 Romany Peg had a fairly last minute change of wagon, but adapted well to the yellow VW camper provided. Rhubarb, her horse, christened it Custard.Despite the sky being a little overcast, it was a really well and was the most noticably mixed event, on every level, to date. Vi and Hilda's Cakehole went down a wow at the Starlight Charity Fundraiser. Hosts and guests were fabulous and generous and we had a whale of a time...especially on the slide! Thank you to all involved... 23RD SEPTEMBER- 14TH OCTOBER 2009 Dragon Bar, George Street, Hastings. Linda King - Making and Exhibition of Myself - Photographs by Adam Piggott (see slideshows for clue). Lovely opening night! Thanks to all... KIMONO SHOW AT THE BEACON 25TH - 26TH SEPTEMBER 2009 Curated by Judy Dewsbery and myself. Including textile and paper work by ourselves and local people. Special installation happened on the evening of the 25th. Judy and Dora and David made paper kimonos, Julian hung them on big bamboo crosses, and I made paper candle lanterns to light them. Beautiful...Judy and I wore our kimono's...see Crouching Tiger Hidden Drag Queen album, yet MORE extraordinary photographs were taken by Adam Piggott... who also took the new album of photo's 'Fairytale Wedding' in the garden of my new (but yet to be moved into) house in Ore, just up the hill from my current address. I hope to move in the spring of 2010, and am currently fully absorbed in project managing and labouring to achieve the renovation of this 1957 chalet bungalow. It's a lot of work, but we'll get there. The garden is a great space, and the photo's were mainly taken in an abandoned metal water tank.
