Death for gays

Did you know that in 7 countries around the world, 7 countries give you the death penalty for being Gay and 76 countries put you in prison. This world has got a long way to go in my view. That's why I was happy to be invited to the International conference on LGBT human rights next year in Copenhagen. this runs from the 27th to the 29th July.

More importantly I wanted to let you know that we had Andorra confirm that they would love to be part of the new show "Wish you were Queer" that TVPolari are working on right now with their production company Blue Ruby Productions.

I met a great guy yesterday as well called Gino Meriano from Pink Weddings who just happens to be the chair at the uk's Gay Business Association. What a great guy and look out for his Gay wedding shows coming to a city near you soon.

Its a day with the family today and I have already done 45 Min's on the Wii today and so far in 2 weeks have lost 8 ponds, not in currency but weight. So a pat on the back to me.

Look out for my other directors Blog James Duffy who will be sharing what his life is like with TVPolari and he reminds me all the time we are the first ever International Gay Network. Me I would rather be on holiday. Ciao for now

New Channels going Live

Well Guys and girls and any Transgender people out there, what a manic few weeks I have had at TVPolari.

We have now started the first ever Gay Travel channel and its called The Polari Travel Channel and our two new directors Mike Brady and his partner Graham Andrews. We will be filming all around the world and making travel shows just for the LGBT community. So check it out and please remember to give us feedback so we give you your TV your way. Watch out for the new Wish you were Queer programme in the new year.

We took our wonderful Gabbi to the Plasa08 show in Earls court and she created a massive stir there and we all had such a great time. Her eyes did wonder and sometimes she was not on the ball so to speak as there were so many wannabe DJ's walking around.

Our Monthly news roundup show will be on air shortly and this will give you updates on a monthly basis of whats gone on in our world and any other great things that are going to be happening over the coming months. Watch out the gay newsboys are about.

Then it was on to the IGLCC for a great session with business owners and important people in the gay world who all want to make a difference.

A massive shout out to Sue Sanders from the LGBT history month who was on fine form and we are very proud to be the media sponsor for the LGBT History Month 2009.

A new and very exciting channel went online in the network this month and it was Gabbiworld which will show you everything from the gay scene you ever wanted, so watch out for Gabbi and her crew at a bar or club near you soon.

That's all for now and I will give you a celeb update in my next blog.

TVPolari days

What a manic couple of days it has been. The new camera turned up for TVPolari Travel channel, the only thing it does not do by the looks of it is fly. Well thank god I have my little camera man that does all of that stuff. Had a meeting with Gabbi from gabbiworld who are having a channel on the TVPolari network, he or does one say “She” when talking about a drag queen? I will have to ask gabbi when I next see Him/her J the channel goes live next week so watch out for that one, Gabbi is very funny and a natural in front of the screen.

Next, we are preparing for the new tour with mother-ship.com. They have a fantastic website and they are organizing amateur strip nights around the country and TVPolari will now be the media partner for them. So watch this space.

This is how bizarre my life can be some days; I get a phone call from the local Nightclub/bar asking for anything signed from the rich and famous. That ruled me out straightaway but working on both at the moment. So a few phone calls later we have Chico from the Xfactor’s pants, Freemasons signed Cd and wait for it some jeans from the cast of footballer’s wife’s. Oh, wow to know people. A full day tomorrow, so see you soon.

Life & Times of TVPolari

My Weekend so far... Having got back from filming in Cyprus in the Med this week I had 300 emails to go through so Saturday was fun to say the least. The more I email out the more comes back (Very strange). I spent 1.5 hours talking to my Finance Director on Skype about the new Camera we have got and what new shows we are doing. Then it was off to some launch of a new business that makes clothes. Fashion not really my thing but its free drink and I get to put it about a bit.

Sunday was very quite as the drink was plenty the night b4 and I tend to take Sundays off unless there is work or a shoot going down.

My week ahead at TVPolari will be very exciting so keep up to date.
