Vaguely aware there is this Europevision or Yurovision thing or whatever it’s called tonight…I avoided going out on the gay scene tonight because of it’s grindingly depressing omnipresence (actually I don’t need an excuse to avoid the gay scene, the scene itself is a good enough reason, but Eurovision gives it an extra Brucie Bonus). I’m also dimly aware via the Graun of Austria’s Conchita Wurst, not a bearded lady but certainly gender-bending and drag. The song’s pretty good too, a shoe-in for the next Bond theme, and works well for a transgender theme.
Sadly if it’s a) good or b) interesting it won’t win, it’ll be some bland ballad, or some Eastern European poppet (but not Russia or Ukraine this year, LOL – should have sanctioned Russia from Eurovision, fuck the Olympics THAT would have really hurt them!*). But here’s hoping it does well when the vote comes in shortly.
* I jest, but actually the Eurovision and singing contests generally are really popular in Russia. More irony about LGBTQ hate and their love of ice skating, dance and song. It’s a weird hypocrisy…kind of like a ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’ of the Arts.
If Ukraine does amazingly win, I guess they could site the contest in Crimea. THAT would be fun. Eurovision Royale: The Battle To The Death? It’s the next step, sequins and AK47s… 😛
