Hello Darlings!!!

Well, it’s now official… I’m an INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTAR!!! I recently got back from my first tour date in Dublin (that’s Ireland by the way) at a friends club so Dublin could get a taster of what is to come, The show was fantastic and I had a wonderful time, everyone was so friendly and welcoming, I’ll tell you all about it but first I would like to say a huge thank you to the people of Templeogue, especially the Potts family for allowing me to take over their house (and lives) for 5 days!!!

 

I left Fuerteventura with its wonderful 19 degrees at 9.30am, boarded the aircraft and was DISGUSTED to see NO FIRST CLASS SECTION… So they Hung a curtain for me (God Bless Ryanair). A very pleasant flight with a well stocked drinks trolley (well… it was well stocked at the START of the flight!!) and of course updating my membership to the Mile high club started my tour in the right way. 

I arrived in Dublin refreshed and ready, my bags came off the carousel (or so I was told… I mean I don’t get dogs and bark myself do I???), drifted towards the doors where my car was waiting, the doors swished open and the fresh air filled my nostrils, am I painting a nice picture??... oh good… BECAUSE IT WAS F***ING FREEZING!!! Thankfully the car had been left running with the heater on… 30 minutes later I arrive at my abode with a fabulous Irish welcome… that being hugs, air kisses and a pint of Guinness shoved into my hand.  A wonderful 3 course dinner was to follow (that being a roast dinner as one course and two pints of Guinness for the next two courses). 

 

The day of the show was quite hectic (or so I was told… I spent the day at L’Avenue Salon getting titivated by Donna and Joanne), the day started with a proper Irish Breakfast, this consisting of… Bacon, Sausages, Beans, Tomatoes, 2 poached eggs, mushrooms, black pudding, white pudding, toast and 15 pints of Guinness.

Then off for the sound checks… The hall had been decorated as I was doing the Valentines special, I had a new gown made especially for the show and the work wasn’t all from my side either… The Club house had hung a Black curtain and lights on the stage to emulate my stage here in Fuerteventura (granted… mine isn’t hung up with FORKS and BLUE TACK). 

Honestly… everyone had gone to so much effort to make me feel at home the least I could was give it my all… and I did, 2 hours and 3 standing ovations later I get to mingle with who are quite possibly the NICEST people on earth. 

It wasn’t only Dublin residents that filled the place, People had travelled up from the south of Ireland, and even two friends of mine flew from LONDON to catch the show… So thanks Debbie and Nikki… See you in Vegas in April!!  I am back in Dublin again in May for a further 2 evenings so for you Dubliners out there reading this… will keep you posted of dates and ticket availability.

 

Next came a trip to Dublin Zoo… this was fascinating!!! In December, the Potts family adopted a Grey Wolf in my Fathers name, so Kitty and I went along to see him… He was STUNNING as you can see from the picture and I can’t think of a more fitting tribute to who was a wonderful man… so thank you Mick, Paula, Linda, Louise and Darragh (Squink).  The Zoo was clean and the animals incredibly well looked after… so Congratulations Dublin Zoo… Keep up the good work!!

 

Now I’m back here in the sun and my champers firmly fixed in my hand (and it’s so nice to be holding a normal glass that isn’t PINT sized and saying Guiness all over!!!), and back to grind stone (not for me naturally) for Kitty, Francesca and Gill making the 14 news outfits for my new show.

 

Thank you again Dublin… See you in May!!! To the rest of you, thanks for reading and I’ll see you in the club again soon…

 

Ta Ta!!!
