Macho City

We're resurrecting MACHO CITY for a special one-off this Thursday night at Dalston Superstore starring the original triumvirate of Dave Kendrick, Charlie Porter and Dan Beaumont. Not only was MACHO CITY a weekly Thursday homosexualist hoe-down at the Joiners Arms, it was also a weekly newsletter edited by Charlie with contributions from a stable of international reporters including DOG CORRESPONDENT, POLARI CORRESPONDENT (Ms DORIS DeTINSEL) and MACHO CITY’S OWN SHARON MARSHALL among many, many others. Here are some excepts from... a selection of... THE WEEK IN MACHO!

////////DALEY THOMPSON////////////

This is a special request MEN OF MACHO! Last week, if you recall, we celebrated the perfect chest hair equilibrium that is Tom Selleck. "Oh yes about Tom Selleck," came the message from our VISAGE CORRESPONDENT [not VISAGE as in the band, but all matters of the face], "Oh and also, Daley Thompson is the black Tom Selleck:

TWANG! 

Watching the Olympics over the summer, we felt a draw that we couldn't explain. Why did we want to watch the decathlon? BORING! Not just one dull sport, but TEN of them. Yet it held such a strong lure. Why why why? 

D-A-L-E-Y T-H-O-M-P-S-O-N

MACHO CITY was OBSESSED with Daley Thompson. Moustache. Muscle. Bulk. Running shorts. And he won a pretty medal thing!
