What a coincidence that Prince Dmitri Hersov, as you might already have heard, should have launched out last Friday in the Porsche, in the opposite direction as it were, for a Stag Weekend in Eastbourne.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0By the way, I must adjust my rude remarks about accountants\u2019 lack of frockage and flowers in yesterday\u2019s posting, \u2018The Gay Mother Gives me a Mine\u2019. Prince Dmitri, as you know, was at the accountancy school and is now with a huge firm doing hush-hush work but anyone more stunningly got up for the office would be hard to imagine. Really, we can\u2019t have people bursting out of their stereotypes like this. It\u2019s an Edwardian look \u2013 complicated built suits, many buttons and flaps, heavy shoes, cuff-links like the Multis. But the colleagues are a mystery. At work, the Prince was once watching afternoon television &#8211; because his very silly, queenly friend, Thomas Blaikie, was appearing to promote his even sillier book about the Royal Fambly. Other accountants gathered round: \u2018You have dinner with people like that, do you?\u2019 they said.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0But the stag weekend&#8230; It has been suggested that Prince Dmitri should have refused the invitation , but let it not be said that gays shy away from other walks of life. In any case, he found the experience interesting, even enchanting, but bizarre. The hotel was a kind of hostel. Rooms were shared. At clay-pigeon shooting, Dmitri was the only one to score 0 out of 25. Everywhere they went there was nothing but other stag parties of varying size and horror. All meals, including dinner, were taken in Wetherspoons (I\u2019m really not bothering to check the spelling) on account of the Sport TV. \u00a0I didn\u2019t know that stag parties were so basic, did you? All the men on this one were well-off and not especially young. Most intriguing was the evening strip-club. Members of other stag parties paid \u00a340 for a private show, then pounded out of the club to the cash machine for more private shows. What were they were getting out of this? No touching, no wanking, obviously. In gay clubs go-go boys etc are there to inspire congress amongst the clientele either on the spot or later. This plainly not the case with the stag party. Some of the staggers apparently fell into a despair or joy of drunkenness and were observed by the Prince vomiting over walls etc.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0In the meantime, Laura Malcolm is withering away after her first Gay Holiday in Tuscany with the Multis. We have been wondering how hets would respond to a Gay Holiday and now we know. Never before had her surrender to pleasure been so complete (that can\u2019t be entirely true, but there we are&#8230;). Back in London, she cannot adjust to normal life. I have to say, even though she\u2019s got an elliptical island unit designed by Bruce MacBain and a built-in cappuccino machine that speaks, three children do generate an enormous amount of ironing.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0What would be the effect, therefore, of a stag weekend devised by Poor Little Rich Gays for straight men? Endless role play to get the tone just right \u2013 this is how you banter with staff, this is how you complain, this is how you acquire interesting friends who aren\u2019t mates. \u00a0This is how you become a multi and avoid being an employee. No Kenneth Williams, you understand. That would be quite wrong.\u00a0 There would be ruthless gym work-outs and a talk from my friend, Edward Jasper, on bed linen and bed-making, just to get it clear that you can never have too much detail.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Exposure to the free, headlong, material, made-up world of the Poor Little Rich Gays (you\u2019d have to bring in Val, whether sober or not, to do his rendition of the wax cylinder recording of Adelina Patti) could be fatal. How many of these straights would ever look back?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunday 13th September 2009 \u00a0Did you see Toby Young in The Spectator last week on the infinite superiority of holiday cotts in Cornwall honed for the gay market \u2013 spotless lavs, Agas, \u2018walk-in\u2019 fridges, no new pine furniture?
