A therapist’s guide to navigating the festive season as a queer person

admin, , , ,

While December is supposed to be full of cheer, family microaggressions don’t exactly get us in the Christmas spirit. Luckily, we’ve called in an expert to impart some much-needed advice on how to cope. WORDS BY JAMIE WINDUST  By now, it’s a cliché that the festive period is ~challenging~ for a variety of reasons. But the stereotype isn’t just the central premise of pretty much every festive romcom ever, it also bears more than a grain of truth – especially for individuals under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella.  Of course, there are…

Christopher Eccleston stars as Scrooge in festive treat A Christmas Carol – review

admin, , , ,

We adore this production of A Christmas Carol – it’s such a treat every time it comes around. Jack Thorne’s adaptation has played at London’s The Old Vic every festive season since 2017 (although it didn’t enjoy its usual full run in 2020, for obvious reasons), each time with a big name starring as Ebenezer Scrooge, one of Charles Dickens’ most infamous creations. For the 2023 season we have Christopher Eccleston who is a perfect fit for the role. Not much changes with this production each year, so there will…

“I absolutely can’t wait”: Fans react to Cher’s Christmas album cover

admin, , , ,

Cher fans rejoice! The music icon has unveiled the cover art for her first-ever Christmas album. Back in June, the Grammy-winning talent announced that she was releasing the festive record on Twitter.  “Many surprises. This is Cher’s [Christmas] album. Not ur mamas [Christmas album],” she wrote.  “It’s scary to make something so Different. I [love it]. One [song] is one of my favorites EVER!.”  Since that fateful day, Cher has remained mum on the details surrounding the album… until now. On 7 September, the Burlesque star surprised fans when she released the album’s…

Miz Cracker’s Who’s Holiday is a camp and quirky alternative Christmas tale – review

admin, , , ,

Those familiar with RuPaul’s Drag Race alumni Miz Cracker will be aware she’s a clever queen, so we were expecting something a bit higher concept than an average drag show – and that’s exactly what we got with Who’s Holiday. It’s essentially a Dr Seuss story for grown ups: Cracker plays the role of an adult Cindy Lou-Who who gets knocked up by the Grinch and ends up running off and marrying him. We catch up with Cindy after a stint in jail – she’s attempting to throw a Christmas…

13 LGBTQ+ films that will provide you with all the festive queer this Christmas

admin, , , ,

Set in the 1950s, Carol stars Cate Blanchett as an older woman navigating a difficult divorce who embarks on a forbidden affair with an aspiring female photographer (Mara). Watching the effects of homophobia and a jealous soon-to-be-ex-husband on their relationship is heartbreaking, and if nothing else, the pure melodrama of it all will get you in a state of melancholy. After making audiences sob throughout most of the film with its beautiful portrayal of queer heartbreak, wistful cinematography and evocative soundtrack, the final shot signals that there’s hope yet for…

Ghosted: Another F***ing Christmas Carol is a wonderfully camp and queer adaptation – review

admin, , , ,

If it wasn’t abundantly clear from the title, Ghosted: Another F***ing Christmas Carol is an adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Unlike the version we recently caught at The Old Vic, however, this is far from a traditional take – and to be honest, we’re totally on board with that. Written and directed by the same creative team behind the hilarious Above the Stag pantos, this gender swapped and queer retelling sees Ebeneezer Scrooge become Eloisa Scrooge as she’s visited by the trio of fabulously camp ghosts showing her…
