Back in 2005, Panic! At The Disco married debauchery, trip hop and cabaret pop in an open relationship that invited us all to explore the slightly twisted sides of us that others may not have understood. Panic! gave outcast teen emos a place to belong, but what about those of us who never truly left … Continue reading The weird and wonderful world of Alice’s Night Circus

Almost a year ago, not long after I took over the management of this blog, I published a post titled ‘Girls/Girls/Boys: LGBT anthem or insult?
