A Mad Tea Party

Since Lanky Lex's unexpected coming out with the expected repercussions, the entire brotherhood has been busy circling the wagons to offer hot chocolate, moral support and spiritual succor for the newly outed fella. However rather than repel all critical invaders, we're attempting to thwart their counterattacks by preparing a fabulous lil coming out party for them instead.

Yeah, when the going gets tough, the gays go party :P

Tea party that is.


Time for a cup of tea!
After all the invaders aren't the enemy. And we've only his Tradimum ( or better known as the Traditional Mum ) to deal with at the moment. Ostensibly the tea party would present a more sedate, conservative view of gay life rather than the sensational wild sex parties and alleged sodomites that have been in the headlines lately.

No wonder you're late. Why, this watch is exactly two days slow.

A rather civilized tea party with crumpets and scones.

Not to mention the prerequisite midamilo.

And what exactly is midamilo - a term that Janvier helpfully dreamt up! One of the patented drinks that the night nurses - in strict collusion with the some doctors - used to serve in the late evenings to irksome chatterbug patients. One good dose of warm milo ( our fortified chocolate drink ) with liberal lacings of midazolam ( a benzodiazepine ). You can imagine the combination of sedatives and chocolate would be just perfect to soothe the understandable anxieties of our Tradimum.

Why is a raven like a writing desk?

Presumably this mad tea party is where I get to dress up in an eccentric top hat laughing incessantly to myself as the Mad Hatter! Dashing Dan as the White Rabbit of course ( though he tends to sleep as much as the Dormouse! ) with Charming Calvin as the cheerfully grinning Cheshire Cat. Not sure who the rest will be playing but I'm sure Zany Zinedine would look just regal in a patterned red and white ensemble as the Queen of Hearts. Bet he'd just love to saunter diva-like with a bejewelled royal scepter screeching 'Off With Their Heads!'.


The Hatter is here. Time to party!

So Alice drops down the rabbit hole!
And just maybe Lanky Lex could come in a big blue frock and a black headband pretending to be innocent Alice lost in the wild, wacky gay wonderland. :)

Or would that role be played by his bewildered Tradimum?
