Gay Boys Sewing Circle

Queer Sewing Circle Gay Chums

My best and, loyalist friend has been... Baroque Boy, who has escorted me over "X" years to, sometimes unfriendly girlstown bars (shame on you Candy Bar), danced cooly with me in queer indie clubs, listened to my never-ending laments over my beloved lost Mother and, been my mega god-send COVID bubble friend with daily text of "What's for super supper?..." and "How your Pinas?". Wherever I have been (Edinburgh, London, Milano & Hamburg), my gregarious gay boys have been so sweet to me (and thank you so much).

My salon / sewing circle MUST have some sweet gay boy friends.
