We owe a lot to RuPaul and the queens of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Whether it be delivering series after series of drag, drama and deathdrops or appearing in the pages of the very first issue of Loverboy – shout out to Willam! Now it seems we have one more reason to be grateful and that […]

The city of Wolverhampton isn’t famous for much. In fact it’s really known as a city of industry, specialising in coal mining and car production. Its motto is ‘Out of darkness cometh light.’ One such recent beam of light has been singer-songwriter Tom Aspaul’s debut album, Black Country Disco inspired by his hometown which he […]

It’s safe to say this year has not been one for the history books. We’re all facing our own challenges and consequently learning how to deal with them. One person whose year has been particularly tumultuous is Blue Hawaii’s Raphaelle, who was misdiagnosed with Bipolar II before pulling herself back by working on the band’s […]

Today I turn forty. A new decade. But 2020’s energy is telling me, in some not-so-subtle terms, that this is not the year to be partying. No, 2020’s energy is distinctly telling me that in fact this is the year to stay at home with a bottle of champagne and the audible of Mariah’s newly-released The […]

Since then we have signed our names up as part of the Cormac Fan Club…officially. He was the soundtrack to our daily Corona workout and our first emotional run outside […]

Over this strange summer, Loverboy has been speaking with our Mum on the daily. But every day for six months – that’s a lot of talking…and avoiding questions about exes! So instead we’ve been immersing her into the world of drag via all the queens’ digital shows this summer. The latest we are particularly excited […]

This year has definitely been the year we overthought. With all this time stuck at home…or even just in the country, it’s been hard avoiding thoughts of all things we were beginning to do so well at trying to forget! Fear of never actually adulting? Check. Anxiety as to whether Mariah will ever actually achieve […]

It’s a disarmingly beautiful summer day in Beverly Hills. It seems surreal and almost makes me nervous to be sitting (in social distance) at this glamorous rooftop restaurant after being in solitary quarantine for four months in a one-bedroom apartment in humid Philadelphia. I’m George Alley, an occasional pop musician, a professor of Punk at […]
