I think i may appear in a stunning one off outfit, that will be breathtakingly camp and over the top, i'd like to be stunning and funny and utterly wrong, in a tongue in cheek way. Slowly over the hour i may discard the mask,outfit, costume and stereo-type and revel myself, naked to the world.
It will be a journey from costume to nudity, from performance to honestly, from power to vulnerability. To dress up is to hide in many ways, so to finish my hour in my birthday suit pays homage to Mr Gormleys previous work, and allows me to finish on a humble note.
I may gild my body for fun. My music will be classical and tracks i enjoy to skate too.
I am encouraging folk to come along to engage with me during my hour.
-----------------------------
I am me, most of the time
and sometimes i'll be who ever i want to be
and occasionally i'll be asleep
i live in on the south coast of england in a lovely regency town full of strange beauty, i seek nothing but interest and anecdote from life, and i am lucky to have such an abundance.
i like to skate and sing, to wander along the beach, to read anything that's ever been printed, my mind will often become transfixed with a Handel Oritorio and my eyes might just become fixed on some cute man.
I live to live and love to laugh and belive that scandal is compassionate to the dull, i torment anyone who is full of fear and bully the bullies, i like to think to anyone else i am either an inspiration or a bore.
i am queer and unavaliable and kind of like it that way, am learning all the time and forgetting too.
Being gay is part of whom i am, i am a romantic cynic, a loveless lover, a man who is both vulnerable and impregnable, a cute mass of contradictions, but i try not to take myself too seriously. I like being gay, it makes life so much more interesting.
i like having pictures taken of me, rather than taking them myself. Ego is in the 'I' of the beholder.
I am welsh born and bred, and come from a small but very beautiful town in the deepest welsh valleys, this has given me a sense of joy to my daily life. The still green beauty of the valleys is a solace and an inspiration, and also a prison. There is no horizon to gaze out at, and all mountains can be stood upon, thus i live next to the sea, so i can gaze out over the ripples of the silver sea and wonder at the horizon.
i share what i like, but protect my privacy. my intimate moments are not for shareing.
i seek no ones approval but am honest enough to notice my occasionaly craving for attention, but hey! i can also make modesty into a crime
i am most at peace on my skates, rolling along the endless promenade of Brighton or stuck somewhere private with my nose in a good book
i have time for everyone, especialy those who look most sad and shy, for those are the ones that can blind and shine after the application of a little soft polishing.
i work hard and have a few interesting jobs, i am lucky that my work provides me with both interesting and challenging. I work for a HIV charity called the Terrance Higgins Trust, for a team dealing with Hate Crime and it's effects and also have another life as comedian and writer, they all fit well together and allow me to be both hard and soft, firm and weak, sensible and silly, clever and stupid, challenging and accepting and most of all learn, all the time.
i would die without learning, probably by my own hand, possibly in some archaic and romantic way too, he he he
i can learn things from everyone and everyplace and recall most of it, it's both a curse and blessing
I am lucky and i know it, and i do not have time to count my blessings.
