Tonight!

If jazz and funk is your thing, and you are out of ideas/plans for tonight, you might want to consider the following:

(Hereby I copy-paste everything from their (Confetti's) facebook page because I can not be bothered to add and/or do anything else):


Orfeum presents: Summerfest 2011
A diva's night - Kati Rácz and the Flush
Jazz, funky and pop classics performed live with a cabaret diva

An award-winning Hungarian jazz singer with a unique voice, Kati Rácz is a genuine diva of funk. She began playing classical music at 16, and before the age of 30 she had toured the whole of Europe and half of the world.
Kati Rácz performances like fine wine, improve with age and reach perfection on taste and appearance. She takes her audiences on a magical journey through live orchestra concerts performing jazz and pop classics from the 1920s through the 1950s. In performance with the Flush.

Show time: 9 pm.
Doors open at 8 pm.
Dinner a la carte from 8 pm till closing time.
Informations: www.orfeumclub.hu, www.facebook.com/orfeum

Admission:
Premium 2900 HUF/EUR 12 (with front view of the stage, next to the stage)
Standard: 1900 HUF/EUR 8 (in the wing boxes)
Tickets with a 3-course dinner and a glass of sparkling wine:
Premium 7300 HUF/EUR 30 (with front view of the stage, next to the stage)
Standard: 6300 HUF/EUR 26 (in the wing boxes)



It might be fun if that is your thing, but yawn..... you will not see me there.

Best,

Vanity

Vanity Repents

Vanity has been a bad little girl and did not manage to update her blog in a while.
If you are an avid reader and could not go to party because of this horrid, horrid slip out of mine, I want you to know that I would be terribly sorry if I did not spend that time hedonizing my senses off! Yes, that is right. I chose my pleasure over yours, and even though I am not sorry about that even for a split of a second, I need to repent cause I want my readers back nevertheless. I think that makes a lot of sense!

Anyway, it is not like you missed a whole lot of events the previous weekend.
There was the usual Confetti party, themed Africa, and there was the Össztosokk. See, these parties happen ever so often anyway.

Now that I have confessed, I am ready to repent. Ideas into the inbox please...We dont want the world to know what horrible things I would agree to do.

And now, back to business!

This is the list of upcoming Budapest gaydom events:

1. Orfeum presents: Summerfest 2011
Burlesque - Hot revue with a Hollywood vibe and divas.

This is some kind of a fancier event. The tickets start at 3900 ft, and go until 9900 ft, but then it includes not only a show, but a three course dinner and champagne. Budapest does not see burlesque shows too often though so I guess that is the reason why the price is not too friendly for Budapest measures. Anyway, let us hope burlesque gains popularity so that it can be seen in other contexts as well.

WHEN: 27th July
WHERE: Orfeum Bar, Erzsébet krt. 43-49.

2. Ösztrosokk Summer Party for Lesbians and Friends

I always have problems with typing Ösztosokk. Could not they think of a type-friendlier name?

WHEN: August 6th,
WHERE: Grund Bar, Nagytemplom utca 30

That is it for now...
I will tune it soon!
XoXo,

Vanity

A look back...

How was slutwalk?

I did not go! I wanted to, but I was chained down to bed by a horde of dancing demons and tortured with feathers on my nipples until i regretted all the times I dressed up as a slut! I only pretended I regretted...

Oh no!

By the way, I saw the pics from yesterday's march, and I have to notice that I expected much more in your face sluttines. Had I not been stopped, ahhh...
A secret source tells me there had been around a hundred protestors/sluts. Not bad, but still sounds weak.

Anyway, here is the dip of the day:

Wednesday, July 13, 2011

And another thing...

How freaking lame of me, I almost forgot to mention this:

(someone should punish me for that!)

HEREBY I COPYPASTED WHAT THWY SAID:

Budapest's newest gay community invites you for its traditional get-together (singing, chatting, meeting etc.).
There's Plan B in case of raining.

Location:
Plan A: Gödör Klub grassy area ♥
Plan B: inside Gödör Klub (http://godorklub.hu/progra​m/2011/07/8)
Look for GlitterDickLlama and the tea lights!
http://mkkp.hu/wordpress/w​p-content/uploads/2011/05/​csillamfaszlama.jpg

When: 8pm, 15th July, Friday

It's a public event! Bring some friends!

(♀♀, ♂♂, ♂♀ etc.)

FRAZZLE DAZZLE!

Wednesday is the day that signals close proximity of the upcoming weekend. Weekend, jeeeej, shops are closed, swimming pools are only selling their full day tickets and I need not to go to work. But hey, what does that mean, weekend...Is not it summer? Who the hell works in the summer? It is holiday time!
What good is a life in which all meaningful things you do are in the weekend? I do not know. Maybe you should kill yourself then. I did not, and look where it got me.
Amm, awkward digression.


That is right. If you are reading this as a tourist in Budapest, hoping to find something hot, gay and interesting, then fear not! Almost everyone is gone out of the city and there will be plenty of place for you! People go away from the concrete, they go to that Balaton lake, festivals, or anywhere else where they can. It is almost as if evading the concrete walls guarantees you a place in the atomic shelter.
Honestly, that is kinda ridiculous cause summer is the best season for Budapest!

You might be, just like me, stuck in here for the whole summer, for some strange inexplicable reasons, like me: I need to update my blog! How can I let my readers down? What will they do with their time?

There is no place for despair. Even if you are not on a holiday, there is no reason why you should not act as if you are. Okay, getting a tan is easy. Dropping to the swimming pool after work is not only refreshing, but also productive! Of all the hot bods you check out your circulatory system starts functioning as if you were twenty again! HAHA!

If the romkocsma is your thing, the ruined, run down, really trashy places that are for some reason very hip, then you might go out each and every night, and the next day when you go to work, you will already look sick and convincing enough for your boss to let you go home. Damn those summer cantines for spreading the virus!
Or you could just go out queer-spotting, cause the 5th district is full of new open air public places where the (relatively) young gather up and hang about.
Also, Capella is open, and so is Coxx and Action Bar. They may be empty but there is always a similar lonely soul looking for just the same thing you are looking for.
And now let us see what prospects await us in the upcoming weekend:

1. Ladytron concert at the Hegyalja festival. Saturday Night. Google for more info, for heaven sake it is summer, what do you expect?! Do not let me go through it, it is painful enough that I am not going!

2. Open-air techno. Tomorrow, Friday. Now this is mystical, truly exciting, the organizers gave the following address:
Ten minutes away from Boraros Square, even on your way home! Take 23 bus or 923 night-bus to get to Timot street, then get of and walk until you get to the house number 160 - (after eleven 158), press 160 bell-ring, and follow the further instructions.

Seriously, is it cold war and I did not notice yet?

3. Tomorrow, friday: Budapest Night Bites vol. II...What a pathetic and lame title.
Still, line up may be not so bad. Where? Club titles: U26 Clubshop. Address: Teréz krt. 55-57. 

4. This should have been number 2, but okay.
Another  candidate for the IT concert of the month :
WHAT: NOSAJ THING
WHERE: A38!
WHEN: Tomorrow, Friday!!!!!
DAMAGE: 1500 FT.


5. XENO AND OAKLANDER!!!
Scroll down for more details, I wrote about this....
WHEN: Saturday!

And now, the moment you have all been waiting for, for me to bugger of:)

Enjoy!

ZUMBA + AfterPride PARTY with OSSZTROSOKK!

WHERE: Cooltus Club
WHEN: Saturday 9th July

5. If nothing works for you, go cruising. There is a nice post about it dating from May. Nothing changed since anyway.

SLUTWALK BUDAPEST!!!!! YEAH FINALLY

Take that bitch!

And now take this bitch!

Right in your puritan ass-licking double faced excuse of a face!

And then dare to say, that my dress made you act that way? Does it have some strange hypnotic powers that come as an extra and I did not know about them?

Should dresses come with warning signs, like cigarette boxes:

WARNING: MAY CAUSE PEOPLE TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT YOU WHILE WEARING THIS PRODUCT.

WARNING: WEARING SEXY CLOTHES MAKES YOU SUBJECT TO RAPE

WARNING: WEARING THIS ITEM MAY CAUSE PEOPLE TO TAKE YOU LESS SEROUSLY

Hmmm.

I am very glad Budapest has organised this march. For several reasons.
First - the problem of women being charged with serious legal consequences and guilt for something that was not within their scope of their responsibility - is a problem, a huge problem, not just in Toronto. Known Hungarian public personnas have gone talking about women as conscious victims live on television and or radio without any holding back, without any consequence. A high percentage of Hungarians (32 per cent) think that it is a women's fault if she gets raped. - These data are taken from http://slutwalkbudapest.blog.hu/2011/07/05/slutwalk_budapest_ribancseta_a_nemi_eroszak_ellen_luvnya_kialtavny_2011_julius_20.

Go there for info in Hungarian, or do not, cause I am giving you a decent gist of the story.

Second, I get to wear my finest, sluttiest outfits for the right cause. Hoho, was I waiting to wear my skin tight pink mini dress with braces at the front!

The march info:

WHERE: gathering at GODOR, Erzsebet ter (just look for the sluts, not too hard to miss out if hopefully there will be enough of us), them marching: Gödör - Vörösmarty tér - Váci utca - Ferenciek - Astoria / back to  Gödör

WHEN: July 20th, 17:00 - 18:00 (5 to 6 pm)

OK???

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR RAPE. It is not to be pinned on someone's dress.
On a lighter note, but no less annoying, think of all the nasty comments a woman gets just by walking down the street. Those assholes should have their pie-holes filled with some concrete just so they stop commenting on someone's appearance. Like, look at that fine piece of ass....Thank you very much, you need not telling me I have a fine piece of ass, I am well aware of that without your precious input.  LOOK AT THAT NASTY PIECE OF BEER BELLY AND BAD MANNERS !

Now get your slut kit out and show them motherfuckers what sluts do not tolerate anymore!

Dip of the Day

My choice for the queer musician of the day:




Homophobe of the Month Award!!!

Juhej! Time of the month for name calling and ostracizing, juhuhuhu!

Look at this:



This is an event that happened last Saturday, 2nd July. The title, Hetero Felvonulas can be directly translated as The Straight Pride. Yup. You are not hallucinating. This is what is going on. No Joke. No Pun. Just a cruel fact. They thought they need another festive event to celebrate the heterosexist practices. Talking about not being aware of one's privilege. Let me quote Pam, my second most favorite character of True Blood: 'Let these people practice their constitutional rights to be total idiots!'...
Oh Pam, absolutely love her...

Another quote, when she went down on one fine Ukranian lady:

'....Lay down and think of Ukraine....'
 Ohhh, if only I could have such imaginative and actual, factual lovers!
Okay, that was off topic!

Even though their facebook event shows 555 attendees, the actual heterosexual pride only gathered about 40 people. I can not decide who among them was the most proud one, so I decided to give the award to all the people who organised the event, joint under the umbrella organisation self-titled: Vedero. Translates as: Protective Force. Find them here: http://www.vedero.hu/. I looked at their page only to find that one of their main goals is to shape Hungary into a militant country, which would allow the youth to practice 'home protecting skills'. Whatever that meant. They also claim to be not political. They only wish to protect. Protect Hungary from them heterophobes. They seriously used that as a slogan.

I hope they value the award and are not too selfish to divide it among themselves equally.
