That’s Philip Webb, who is 2010′s Mr Gay East London. I photographed him on Friday night at Club Eden’s relaunch. Eden’s the only queer club in town and it’s just had a major facelift.

Wouldn’t he be just gorgeous to photograph in a studio?

Such a beautiful boy.

Club Eden Relaunch November 2010

Posted by ulla on Thursday, March 3, 2011, In : Club Eden 

Welcome to Club Eden – it’s my local queer club. Sally and her staff and family and friends renovated it and threw a party to celebrate.

Note the apple in the dancefloor tiles there – eden – geddit?

As ever, it’s a complete mix of queer and not so queer revellers.

The owner is Sally Prins – butch dyke extraordinaire.

They’ve got two bars – this was my view of one of them.

Pieter is Philip’s boyfriend – he’s gorgeous too...

The University of Fort Hare and the only local LGBT nightclub, Club Eden, were there and on the t-shirts too (thank you!) and the Eastern Cape Gay and Lesbian Forum was there.  Here’s how it went …

A small crowd gat...
