Thursday 12th May 2011<\/p>\n
You won’t believe the height! The saturation of greatness! At one point the corner by the window was occupied by three persons only, all of them world figures. I refer to Kernow Hellizon’s launch last night. All today I’ve been wrenched to a halt every twenty minutes: to think that he<\/em> was actually there. I actually saw him<\/em>.<\/p>\n But it’ll have to wait – for first I must go back. I’ve done a terrible thing. How could it have happened? Rufus Pitman, author of Bums and Buns at the Seaside<\/em>, a riveting novel daring to show Gays as they actually are, held a dinner for the dedicatees of that work, a bizarre crew of greatnesses and leading Poor Little Rich Gays, including Bruce McBain, my personal architect, Reggie Cresswell, the world-renouned Ghanaian ceramacist, Conrad Matheson, the disease expert, Val\u00e8ry Duplessis, a gorgeousness with a proper job, and Lord Arrowby, that stern governmental figure who stalks the highest corridors of power in a backroom capacity. This last, by the way, is my part-time love interest. There’s shortly to be an announcement. But no final decision has yet been taken as to whether Alexander McQueen or some new talent.<\/p>\n Somehow, boarding the next day for Rome, the Farnese Ceiling, then Easter, then the Wedding, then the ducklings, I was overwhelmed by events and failed to cover the Rufus dinner. Now I’m just waiting for him to confirm his perfume\u00a0 before launching in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Thursday 12th May 2011 You won’t believe the height!
