There’s a reason the phrase “camping is like Christmas” exists. From the glittery tinsel wrapped around the tree to Mariah Carey belting out “All I Want for Christmas is You” to the fact that Mary conveniently gave birth despite being a virgin, Christmas explains This is ridiculous behavior all over the campground.
It’s no wonder, then, that this festive season is being exploited by drag superstars. Thursday, December 19th drag race England Champion Danny Beard brings lots of festivities strange Cheer on a wild performance at London’s Clapham Grand grand christmas cabaret.
“We’ll provide you with everything you want for your Christmas party,” they promise. “We have drag kings and drag queens. [Drag Race UK] Season 6 favorite Lil. She is everyone’s favorite. You can say, “She didn’t win, but she should have won.” ”
Enjoy live music, burlesque, comedy, mulled wine, Christmas cocktails, and straight from backstage at the Gwyneth Paltrow Ski Trials Musical. thank you“Once” singer Diana Vickers.
“It’s all about camping and festival fun,” Vickers added, echoing alliteration throughout the venue.
Pink News caught up with Danny Beard and Diana Vickers to dish out their chaotic Christmas rant about Brussels sprouts. jacob elordi beardH of Steps.
Pink News: Let’s start with the obvious. What is your favorite Christmas song of all time?
Diana Vickers: I love “New York Fairy Tales.”
Danny Beard: Oh, that’s very difficult. Same thing, but it’s very obvious, it’s my dad’s favorite and I think that’s why. You know what I like? *Sings in a soft, gentle tone* “Drive home for Christmas…”
DV: Oh, that’s great. It makes you feel better.
DB: I think my favorite is “An Alien Traveled.” It’s random, but if you figure it out, now! Christmas And all kinds of Christmas songs are playing. Leona Lewis always sings “One More Sleep,” and her singing voice is amazing, but… Leona Lewis always sings “One More Sleep” before the show, so I’m already done. I don’t think I’ll ever hear Leona Lewis sing again.
DV: If it stays constant, it will become useless. And you’re like, “For God’s sake!”
If you could star in a remake of a Christmas movie, which one would you choose?
DB: I’m not a totally crazy Crimbo movie. [lover]. we are literally just getting started house alone– We came together here when we put up the tree, and it was purely because my boyfriend is a big kid and was like, “We have to see it.” But I can’t remake it home alone.
DV: Yeah, that’s too symbolic. I would probably choose something like The Nightmare Before Christmas It’s an original story by Tim Burton, but I like the live-action version, so I’d like to play Sally the skeleton. I want that, but it’s really weird and vague.
For gay men, coming home for Christmas isn’t always fun. Do you have any advice on how to deal with the homophobia that comes with pig-in-a-blankets?
DB: I think about boundaries all the time, right? We all have family members who piss us off. For example, some family members prefer to start a discussion about transgender rights when they know they are not going to change their opinion. So set boundaries for yourself before you leave. Ask yourself, “Will I be able to handle it?” A lot of times, even if people want to get a rise out of me, I don’t give it to them because I’m good at guessing it. I’ll do it all though. That being said, I also think Christmas is the perfect time to confront your homophobic and transphobic relatives. But as long as you respect yourself and don’t get too carried away with things that will ruin your time, you know what I mean?
DV: Let’s say there’s one person like that and you have a lot of great, wonderful family support. Perhaps since you’re all in this together and have great loving backup, now might be a good time to address this issue. But like I said, it’s a borderline. There are some games we don’t play at home because we end up shouting at each other. There are limits to where you can’t do that. But if you have the support, it might be time to have Uncle Bl**dy Homophobic have a little talk with the Klan.
DB: He doesn’t get any Yorkshire puddings from me.
Speaking of Yorkshire puddings, what is your most controversial Christmas dinner story?
DB: I love the meat mix. Turkey never appeared on the Christmas table again.
DV: I love turkey. I know it gets a really bad rap, but if it’s done really well and is juicy and moist, I think the turkey is a huge success.
DB: I agree with you, most people can’t cook a turkey. Because we only make turkeys once a year. I can’t. My mom – she’s not going to read this – she makes the driest fucking turkey with this layer of crispy armored bacon. When I try to eat it, my teeth go back to Türkiye.
DV: Brussels sprouts have a bad reputation. But when you stir-fry it with maple syrup and add a little bit of bacon to it, it’s absolutely delicious.
DB: Am I the only one who thinks, hmmm, when the Christmas-y fart comes out afterwards?
Who’s on your naughty and nice list in 2024?
DV: Jacob Elordi is definitely on my naughty and nice list. I’m crazy about that guy.
Do you have a beard or not?
DV: None! He should get rid of that beard. That beard is on my naughty list.
DB: Do you know who is on my nice list? I’m obsessed with her right now and can’t stop watching her videos. Cheryl Fergison, aka…Heather Trott. I have a bit of a soft spot for her. She sings at a friend’s Chinese chippy and sells a lot of old scripts and stuff. My wish to Santa is that something like the TV drama God starring Heather Trott will come along. Heather Trott should be included. emerdale I think they should continue as the same character… hollyoaks But I continued to go there until three days a week and I was taken off Channel 4. hollyoaks.
And is it on the naughty list?
DB: Can be filled [naughty] List with politicians.
DV: Oh, Trump, get everyone there.
DB: I hope Rishi Sunak just boiled his sprouts for Christmas. But he’s not, he’s a billionaire.
Finally, what do you enjoy most about Christmas?
DB: Aside from the fact that there’s a pure furry papa bear coming down the chimney…
DV: We were talking about this. Me and my sister were really surprised. Imagine if Father Christmas were real, he was upstairs, and there was a strange man in the house. What if he comes to our room? It’s really camping.
DB: I think the other camp thing about Christmas is that I put up a tree and it’s not real. How campy and weird is it to traditionally bring in a tree from the garden and cover it with candles? I just wrote about camping for Christmas. Then give each other gifts wrapped in paper. Christmas means camping.
DV: I always think, when you go to the Nativity and you see an old squirrel or an old turtle in the tree, you think… What are the turtles doing at the Nativity? Are you there? It’s really camping.
DB: At Christmas Nativity, we played “H” from “Steps.” What is camping like? In our version, three kings came and when the kings came, for some reason Steps came out and did “5, 6, 7, 8”. That was one of the gifts.
DV: The Three Wise Men is also very campy. Why do babies need frankincense or myrrh? It’s all just a little extra, right?
DB: Back then it would have been Jo Malone.
