Jay Parini to write Vidal Biography.

Polari’s editor talked to Gore Vidal about Jay Parini being his ideal biographer back in 2009. Parini has been contracted by Doubleday to write the biography for a 2015 publication.

Cecilia Gimenez took it on herself to ‘restore’ a mural depicting Jesus Christ. The editor took one look and said, “Jesus Christ!” …

Charli XCX • Gig

23 Aug 2012 / Comments Off / in Music/by Little Bastard

[rating=5]
Charli XCX, August 22, 2012

Little Bastard is astounded by the energy of Charli XCX in her Sebright Arms gig, August 22, 2012.

“Charli XCX headbangs, she pounds every inch of the stage, and she does it all in vintage platform buffalo trainers (from eBay). She not only owns the stage, but she makes it difficult for anyone to occupy it again! “

About Polari Magazine

Polari Magazine is an LGBT arts and culture magazine that explores the subculture by looking at what is important to the people who are in it. It’s about the lives we lead, not the lifestyles we’re supposed to lead.

Its content is informed & insightful, and features a diverse range of writers from every section of the community. Its intent is to help LGBT readers learn about their own heritage and to sustain a link between the present and the past.

Polari is designed to nurture the idea of community, whether that be social and political, or artistic and creative. It is your magazine, whether you want to read it, or whether you want to get involved in it, if you're gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, or queer.

Polari Magazine is all these: it's a gay online magazine; it's a gay and lesbian online magazine; it's an LGBT arts and culture magazine. Ultimately, it is a queer magazine.
