Lilly Jae and I have just been to the National Slate Museum Llanberis, beside Lake Pandarn in Llanberis at the foot of Snowdon.

This is a free museum and describes the history of slate mining in the Welsh valleys, the people, the area and how slate mining has influenced the world.

The museum is made up of several parts from the mining heritage clear to see all around the museum area, along with the museum itself, miners cottages from several eras and the mining hospital, built by the mine owners to care for their workers. Ultimately to make them more productive.

There are demonstrations on how the slate was processed once it had been brought out of the mines as well as the machinery which ran the facility with its huge waterwheel.

Here are some photos from the day.

Hope you enjoy.

I went to Cornwall in the first week of October and before I went I dyed my hair pink. Dont like the dark pink but now its had a few washes I like the light pink colour.

What do you all think?

If you follow my blog, (If you dont why not?), you might have seen my selfies from professional photoshoot at Woolton Hall. This was at a photoshoot day on the 6th Spetember 2020, with Born UK. Well here are the some of the professional photos taken from that day and I absolutely love them so, thank you to Born UK and all the team who made the photo shoot day really enjoyable..

First of all, this is my favourite photograph and and it was more of a candid shot than an actual planned shot. I was just messing around and the photographer took a couple of snaps but actually it’s turned out to be one of my favourite photographs of me ever.

Secondly is this photograph, taken by Nick Heaton, and is a murder mystery type shot, with the rationale being that I’ve just done somebody in (killed them), and I’m leaving the scene of the crime mortified that I’ve just killed somebody.

The third photo is again another great photograph, and it’s just me au-natural and not staged at all. Obviously in this shot I am smiling whereas in the next shot I’m being a little more enigmatic.

This fifth shot what was again taken by Nick Heaton. Taken in a room less than sanitary as pigeons had actually got into this room. I love the angle of this shot and my little smiley face. I’d opted to put my coat on because the temperature in Woolton Hall all was quite cold and at this point I was actually shivering despite it being a lovely sunny day outside.

The final shot was actually the first photograph that was taken and it was just after I had my makeup put on by Vic Marley and I still had my hair tied up. I really love the way that this looks as this is actually how I wear my hair most of the time. Yes, That is my real hair!

Again thank you to all at Woolton Hall and Born UK for a great day out and I look forward to the next photoshoot day hopefully it wll be in better conditions and without the Covid bollocks we’re all dealing with at the moment.

Manchester’s Gay Village is getting ready to re-open on the 4th July 2020. I for one will be there when it re-opens.

See the places doing work to get themselves ready for the 4th July.

Friday 10th January.

Knock, Knock on the door. It’s my friend Meg.

“Wow look at you! You off out then?”

Yes, off to Blackpool.

“You look amazing mate. Here’s those keys and have a great day. Gimme a hug”

I went to Blackpool for a number of reasons but the main was to go visit an elderley relative in hospital as I was told “He’s very ill” by my mother.

He was a bit shocked when Mikki turned up.

“So, the clothes. Are you gay?”

No, Uncle not gay.

“Oh, so does it make you happy?”

Yes, uncle it does.

“Oh right. Well that’s good I suppose”

Next I went to visit some friends up at North Shore and spent a few hours with them and finally a night out with friends.

I love my legs, they are my most redeeming feature. So I am told.

Heres some photos of my legs.

This gallery will grow as time goes on.

New Years Eve 2019 and i’m sat in my friends house, last time I was here they got married which was the 27th December. I missed the party as I had to go home that evening but i’m not going to miss New Years Eve.

Dog at the dog sitter, makeup on and fancy frock.

I’ve met some of my friends tonight, people i’ve know in some cases for 25 years but this is the first time as Mikki.

Happy New Year my darlings.

Pre-christmas drinkies in Manchester

The red dress which started it all, and ended some other parts of my life as well.

Loved my makeup for the evening which looks a bit pink in the cold light of day but looked ace in the club later on.

It’s Friday the 13th December and a night out with friends in the village at Qwerk for their Qwerkmas event at Sub101.

Here’s some pictures of the night.

Ring, Ring: “Hi Kim its me. Wanna go out in Blackpool? I’ve got tickets to Funny Girls in Blackpool”

“Oh Mikki, that would be great”

“Fantastic, You’re driving then Kim. Pick me up on Friday about 5pm and wear your best dress and pack a bag.”

My mate Kim has never been to Blackpool. Never, Ever! And its amazed me how someone can get to 40+ years of age and have only lived 55 miles from Blackpool but never have visited? *

For those that don’t know what Funny Girls in Blackpool is then allow me to enlighten you.

Funny Girls is a Drag Act Caberet Show Club in Blackpool now homed in the old Odean theatre on Dickson Road up near Blackpool Tower. This is classed as the Gay Quarter of Blackpool and is home to many fabulous Gay Bars and pubs around here.

You can expect, Drag Acts (well duh!), comedy, dancing, singing. It’s an all-round entertainment show from the Funny Girls Follies.

The Funny Girls Venue is fantastic and the quality of the shows is absolutely amazing and it kept us captivated all evening from the Host Zoe and her cutting wit through to the dancers and loverly floor and bar staff. Great entertainment which made us cry with laughter, sing with joy with fab food and cocktails.

It’s a great evening out in Blackpool’s gay district if you’ve never been.

Dress code is Smart casual, Fab or OTT! No tracksuits or baseball caps (I realise for some people this is smart casual, but dress like your going to court for your last burglary offense at the very least!)

Funny Girls in Blackpool’s address is:

5 Dickson Road
Blackpool
Lancashire
FY1 2AX

* You know Kim’s ex thought Blackpool was a dump and would never take her/go there. So they went to Rhyl instead!!! Oh, the irony!

We had a great night but a lesson learnt for me. Wearing a tight skirt and then having to get into Kim’s little sports car was amusing for Kim and a nightmare for me.

Love you Kim babes xxx
