Have you heard of Thai Square? It’s delish! Gorgeous, pallet-pleasing treats and steaming aromas of the East! They’re a Thai restaurant, as the name suggests, dotted around in some of London’s most glamorous districts, from Covent Garden to Kensington.
Apart from being genius purveyors of prawn crackers, they’ve actually come up with an intriguingly revolutionary idea for a beauty pageant.
This Sunday 11th September, they’re holding Mr & Mrs Thai Square. It’s a drag contest with a twist; they’ll judge a host of strutting queens not only on their beauty as a woman, but on their beauty as a man! It’s a wonderfully ruthless approach, and it’s always fascinating seeing people once the wigs and makeup come off.
It’s a rare thing for us, because it’s something we’ve never seen before! An original idea, god forbid! Nobody’s come up with an original idea since 2012 when Kylie released Timebomb. So this is UNMISSABLE. We’ll certainly be going.
We’ve already reserved a booth and double-checked that they do Nua Yang Gang Kiew (that’s green curry cooked in coconut milk by the way, for those of you unfamiliar with the flavours of the orient). We’ll be perched with a raised spoon and a raised eyebrow, surveying the evening’s entertainment.
• If you fancy going, or even, if you’re brave enough, ENTERING, it’s at 21 – 24 Cockspur Street, SW1Y 5BN. Sunday 11th September, 6:30pm onwards.
Early bird price £15, normal price £20.
