Went to the Madonna tribute VauxhallVille cabaret this evening. As ever, it was a delight and a puzzlement - was it *really* meant to be like that? A few technical hitches were encountered but I don't think anyone minded. Hosted by Nathan DeVille and Timberlina with Dawn Right Nasty spinning the platters and the in-house dance troupe of Bearlesque providing the all-essential moves.
The evening started off so well with the vocalisations of the lovely Scales of the Unexpected, a barbershop triplette, doing a medley of Madonna classics, and very well done too. They've obviously practiced, practiced, practiced and were note and movement perfect. The evening started to go a bit downhill with the 'sex book' sequence which was a bit random and then (the former Princess) Dawn got up on stage to have sex with Timberlina ... shocked, I was! It went 
further downhill with the Madonna karaoke when a rather drunken anti-Madonna singer and an altogether out of his head (possibly chemically enhanced) singer took the stage for a rather painful 15 minutes or so with poor Timberlina trying to manage it all. Lots of laughs all-round but painful at the same time.
Luckily the bears in all their chunkiness, our dance troupe of choice, rode to the rescue with a dance routine set to the tune of 'Vogue'. Starting off on the stage they then moved to the poles to vogue around the red poles of destiny. We weren't being treated to the Viking pole dance this evening so this was the next best thing.All in all, an enjoyable evening during which several pints of Guinness were consumed... that place is bad for me.
