Oct 20. Last night’s Punk Rock Curry Club gathering near Tower Hill had more strange revelations than an episode of Mrs Marr Investigates. For starters we learnt that one veteran club member has two belly buttons and another has no belly button at all – for names and medical verification please subscribe to Gonads Gossip Gold. Or buy Gal a Guinness. More shocking was the breaking news about ace photographer Jim Jimmy James. Unfortunately, we have been firmly instructed that we must not, under any circumstances, publish any information about Jim’s Only Fans side-line as a foot fetish model. So not a word will be printed here about how pretty his toes are, no video evidence will be provided, and we can’t even hint at his ballet career. However, we can reveal that a shocked Miss Management dubbed JJJ “the Lord of Corn Porn” and “the Cinderella of Street Punk”. And we can never unsee those pictures…
Mrs Marr (psychic sleuth), who uncovered his cheesy secret in her dreams, says she has more questions for punk queen of Soho Bev Elliott, who stayed away for that very reason “thus compounding her guilt… what is she hiding? Four daughters in Maid Of Ace, that’s what!”
In other news, a near full turn-out of Gonads committed to several shows next year, The Business will be filming in Jamaica, and Chelsea’s Mat Sargent revealed that his son Alex’s documentary Fix Me In The Mix (about Mat’s HIV diagnosis) is gaining traction after it was featured at the 10th Annual LA Punk Film Festival, along with Gal’s Late Night Vegas TV pilot. Could Jim Jimmy be at the 11th fest with one of his foot-fetish flicks? The Lord Of The Shins, perhaps. Romancing The (Toe) Bone. Fifty Shades of Sole. Debbie The Chiropodist Does Jimmy. There’s Something Inside Mary (And It’s Wriggling) (Cut! – Ed).
The night’s only dark twist came when one furious PRCC organiser condemned the “two-bob time-wasters” who had asked us for the East London meet but never showed up. Club security officer The Bear told the blog “We only came north of the water for these five jokers who didn’t turn up. We’d have had the same turn-out in Sidcup, probably more.” As a result, club organisers have scrapped plans for Covent Garden in December. “Christmas will be in south London,” said The Bear. “Let the undesirable unreliables come to us for a change. And if they’re a no-show we won’t have wasted hours of precious time travelling.” Blimey. Apologies for absence were received from John King, Garrie Lammin, Barnet Mark, Carrie Coaxer, Terence Hayes (PM) and Judge Shed.
