A Little More Personal (Raw) With…Adrian+Shane

We’ve known these handsome Irish boys for many years now. They kindly bought our Scissor Sisters Night Work Tour tickets when we were unable to go at the last minute. We featured them in our first issue of Loverboy….which you can still buy here!!! And for today’s #TBT we thought we’d take you back to when we interviewed them in February 2013 for our old blog The Back Building.

Which Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle did you want to be?
Adrian: I was never a fan of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I wouldn’t like to live in the sewers.
Shane: I didn’t really watch the TMNT but I did want to be He-Man, mainly for the harness and boots … and he rode a big cat.

What’s your favourite Diana Ross lyric?
Adrian: ‘Everytime you touch me, I become a hero’ from ‘When You Tell Me That You Love Me’. I was a teenager when this came out. One night, I got very drunk at a teenage disco and was dancing to this song on top of a table, grabbing my crotch, when suddenly a bouncer shone a flashlight in my face and next thing I knew I was getting my coat. It was the first and only time I’ve ever been chucked out of a club. The shame of it all.
Shane: ‘I’m in the middle of a chain reaction, You give me all the after midnight action.’ Probably because I was an innocent 9 year old gay child singing about having sex …

It’s our first date. Where are we going?
Adrian: Yikes. Let’s go to Tokyo and visit a cat cafe. We can drink coffee and fondle pussy. So much fun. And Tokyo is the coolest city in the world.
Shane: It’s you, me and Anna Wintour in the front row of Tom Fords new A/W 2013 collection and we’re eating pot noodle…and Anna’s just dropped some acid in hers cos’ you know she’s mad like that…and then Tom comes out to take a bow and he spots me and asks me to leave with him…and I go…That’s an amazing first date…you’ll be talking about that for years…You’re welcome.

Which group were you in at High School?  
Adrian: I hated sports so I definitely wasn’t a jock. I hated school. I spent most of the time daydreaming and fantasising about being anywhere else.
Shane: Probably girls who eat their feelings. I loved carbs…mashed potato in white bread sandwiches…for real.

If you got arrested for stalking anyone who would it most likely be?
Adrian: Maybe Geri Halliwell. Anytime I’ve seen her I make a show of myself…
Shane: I’m far too lazy to stalk but I’d probably stalk Tom Ford…and let him do anything to me…ANYTHING TOM!!!!

Who is your favourite supermodel?
Adrian: There’s something about Linda Evangelista. I loved her in the Isaac Mizrahi documentary Unzipped. She seems like such a spoilt bitch. Funny though.
Shane: Naomi Campbell, Babywoman, Love and Tears, throwing mobiles at servants…she has got it all quite frankly.

What is the most expensive item of clothing in your wardrobe?
Adrian: Mmmmmm, I’m not really into spending loads of money on clothes. Having said that, I recently splashed out on a Karl Lagerfeld jumper/sweater.
Shane: A pair of Puma Black Label boots by Mihara Yasuhiro.

Available here.

Which song do you wish you could hear again for the first time?
Adrian: ‘Hung Up’ by Madonna is such a great track. It just blew me away when it first came out. Amazing on so many levels.
Shane: ‘Scream and Shout’ by Will.I.AM and Britney…just for the shock value of Britney’s accent. We have started a petition for her to do an entire album of her singing in different accents, it would be so amazing.

Would you sleep with Jack Donaghy from 30 Rock?
Adrian: Erm, no. Maybe if he was 30 years younger.
Shane: Yes, he’s incredibly charming, beautiful eyes, funny…and hairy.

Finally, tell us a secret…
Adrian: I’ve never been inappropriately touched by a catholic priest.
Shane: I once peed at a urinal next to Will Young at Horse Meat Disco and I didn’t look…I’m a gentleman…a stupid, stupid gentleman.
