Things got awfully playful at the launch of Play Thing at the Eagle in London last month. With installations of a Ball Bool, Meth finger painting, and Bourgeoise’s flock of 10 stray sheep, as well as epic mixes from from DJ Slim Chance, and endless Jello shots from Lolo’s magical trolly, there was no shortage of fun and frolics.
Check out these photos from the night, and head over to GayCities to see the full gallery.

I’ll have to check this out while I’m in London week after next.

IMHO, London always has been kind of out of control with its gay bar shows. A few years back I witnessed a hot stripper pull a gorgeous customer up on stage one Saturday night and strip him down. Kissing progressed to an on-stage exchange of blowjobs and the two eventually had anal sex right there in front of everyone. The bartenders couldn’t get the front door locked fast enough! It was a memorable trip to say the least!

I wanna know who your travel agent might be.
….or did the concierge recommend that place????
I once did such a thing at a bar in Dallas. That sort of thing was discouraged but the bouncer had the courtesy to let us finish before tapping me on the butt to say enough.

I don’t see anything wrong with this… I’m a 19 y/o go-go boy at my local club and these guys actually have more clothes on then I usually have on while on stage. I pull in a good $150 plus tips a night (not bad for 4-5 hours) doing something that I love and am great at… The only drawback though is that the occasional drunk guy will grab you or treat you like you’re a prostitute. There’s a big difference between the two. A prostitute solicites sex for $$$. A go-go boy entertains for $$$. Yes, we might be dancing in a sexual way, but it’s no different than a Drag Queen performing. We draw the crowds in. It’s a form of advertisement for the club. A brand if you will. And yes, sometimes me and the other guys may grind or make out with each other on stage but if it gets the $$$ flowing, then the club (and us) both benefit from it… I’ve seen worse things going on in dark corners or the bathrooms…

@Soulforce1:
I don’t think that was a casual costumer, may be another stripper
posing as a costumer….

@dubstepskater94:
Glad is working for you, unfortunately unlike you, many Gogo, ask their more
interested clients if they would like a private meeting later on…..
So the general perception is that gogos are prostitutes.

This is really sad and tragic. It just looks like a collection of misfits acting out tragic scenarios which send up women on the one hand and effeminacy on the other.
England hasn’t really progressed at all on gay rights. It’s just as tragic as it ever was.

So sorry I missed it…..not!

@jason smeds: eccentricity and a great tradition of parodying conventional notions of masculinity and femininity is what I see – not ‘misfits’ sending up women or effeminacy. And with regards to your point on gay rights – we have equal marriage, gay adoption and the highest number of gay parliamentarians in the world – that sounds pretty progressive to me.

@jason smeds: Nice to see that wacko jason smeds is back. I didn’t like the nasty side you’ve been showing.
