Five historical figures I saw at the Rubber Ball on Saturday night, because making lists is so much easier than that tricky paragraph stuff.

Queen Elizabeth
The first, not the second. No-one's that kinky.
Cardinal Richlieu
You've not lived until you've had your sins absolved by a fifty year old man in a rubber hassock, really you haven't.
Lawrence of Arabia
Or perhaps it was Moses. We couldn't tell.
Not one but three Jesuses
Each with a more ostentatious crown of thorns than the next, the last one a mere two leaves away from being a full box privit.
Shakespeare
Resplendent in gigantic ruff and the largest, most obscenely jewelled, anatomically accurate codpiece Queen or country has ever seen.

Just tell me that Shakespeare & Queen Elizabeth were there together, ending centuries of scholastic debate.

Aye; some of them are in the SkinTwo gallery.

Perhaps I'm being naive, but what was the relevance of an ordinary, er, non-specialist Queenie costume? The dress code wasn't just 'any fancy dress you happen to find', was it?

Much as I admire the classic simplicity of your black text-on-white-page, and the way you paint a picture with words, this post made me long for photos...

I think the title of the ball may be a tad misleading... did they have rubber in queenie's day?

You left out Jake Blues, how could you?

Gay men often go as nuns, for some reason. Maybe there weren't any gay men there.

HaHa! Not one, not two, but three ostentatious Jesus'!
