Aberdeen obar dheadhainn Lexi Lush E-mail: lexi@scotsgay.co.uk Hello to everyone! What a busy time we’ve had up here in the granite gay scene. We kicked off the month of Jun with our annual gay pride weekend, which was a huge success! The Freemasons went down a treat; their stomping tunes and the thrill of the massive foam cannon, with the added chemistry between them and resident Friday night DJ Gary Noble making for a fabulous night had by all. Sat was a record night for Club Foundation, with performances by Aberdeen singer Laura Henny and of course I was performing with my glamorous lushettes.To see our performance go to Web: http://lexyandthelushettes.bebo.com The only disappointment I had about our pride was the performance by X Factor “stars” Eton Road! Not only did they only do 20 minutes of their half hour set, they also sang the same song twice! Which wasn’t even good the first time!! However they were lovely boys who seemed to enjoy their time in the VIP lounge with me and my lushettes and I must say they were very easy on the eye. This month sees the opening of new gay venue Teazers, situated above Cheerz on Hadden street. Yes that’s right folks, the old strip joint has gone gay, with strippers for both lezzers and horny homos alike! Cheerz will also be providing its usual entertainment with its quiz every Thur hosted by Miss Romy, and the fabulous disco bus on a Fri! Club Foundation has also freshened up its entertainment schedule with a Retro Night on Mon, with yours truly and Cheese Master DJ Stuart Jolly. Tue nights have now gone Indie, where you won’t find a sequin in site! Wed nights see the return of renowned Shagtag Screen, and Thu nights are all the hits from the 90’s to today with DJ Andy. I return to perform with Gary Noble on a Fri with comedy, sing song and all the hilarity that entails from 10pm, then Gary bangs out the floor fillers from midnight. Discobus return for the infamous Sat nights, and finally we finish the week with the ever fabulous Sarah Diva on a Sun. For all you people out there who like a little break from the wild gay scene and want a little bit more sophistication and glamour, me and my lushettes perform our monthly gig at Club Sapphire located on Shiprow, which also features a popular Burlesque night on the last Sat of every month. Wellmans Sauna is also going strong, with its handy facilities and laid back environment making it a very discreet and enjoyable experience. You’ll find the sauna on Holburn Street across from the Talisman Building. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the support they gave me and my lushettes during our performance at Pride in Aberdeen 2007 - you know who you are! Much Love, Lexie.

With Pride season kicking off in Edinburgh, I’ve hired my kilt already! But Dundee isn’t letting you down this month with plenty going on between Prides and holidays. The Gauger - I am pleased to tell you they were involved in the Dundee Blues Bonanza again this year.

Ross is still providing your fix of cheese and pop every Fri and Sat night. Brooklyn’s is open 7 nights a week from 5pm till Midnight, with karaoke on every Wed, Fri and Sun.
