  • Deliveroo just changed its name for pride

    YASSS queens. Delieveroo has just become DELOVEROO for Pride season.

    Teaming up with RuPaul’s Drag Race star Charlie Hides and Absurd Bird restaurants Deliveroo has changed its name for Pride season to De-love-roo and they’ve launched a special menu just for us queens.

    All the profits are going to LGBT+ homeless charity, Albert Kennedy Trust.

    The menu will be available to order exclusively through Deliveroo in the run up to Pride in London (July 7th).

    The Charlie Sliders:

    The Valentina (I’d like to leaves it on please)
    Veggie burger with double lettuce and extra spinach leaves (and a double wrapper)
    The Chicken Latrice Royale
    Large and in charge with a double dose of southern fried chicken
    The Vanessa Vanjie Wit’mayo
    Classic fried chicken burger with mayo and extra hot BAM sauce

    The Charlie Sliders all cost ten, ten, tens across the board (£10) with all profits going to support the incredible work of the Albert Kennedy Trust.

    The menu created with season nine sensation Charlie Hides is available to order exclusively through Deliveroo in the run up to Pride in London (July 7th).

    Joe Groves at Deloveroo said, “Celebrating love in all its forms is at the core of the Deliveroo brand and we are proud to play our part in PRIDE once again. The Drag community is pivotal to the story-telling of the LGBTQ+ community, so honouring some of these icons seemed like the perfect way to help us spread the word and raise money for a great charity. Creating this menu to raise funds for The Albert Kennedy Trust and re-branding as Deloveroo are part of our continued efforts to create visibility around LGBTQ+ causes”

    Season 9 Queen Charlie Hides said, “the Deliver-Ru restaurant is the only place you should be ordering lunch and dinner from this pride because the food is almost as delicious as me and the profits go to a brilliant cause…So sashay your way onto Deliveroo right now and let’s raise some money folks!”

    Tim Sigsworth, CEO of Albert Kennedy Trust said, “What a delicious way to raise funds and prevent LGBTQ+ youth homeless. It takes just £25 to keep a young person safe for one night after facing homelessness or abuse just for being who they are. No young person should have to choose between a safe home and being who they are.”

    24% of young people facing homelessness in the UK identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender, with 77% citing abuse and rejection by their families after coming out as the primary reason. The Albert Kennedy Trust provides safe homes, mentoring and support to ensure that no young person has to choose between a safe home and being who they are.

  • Charlie Hides makes the cut for RuPaul’s Drag Race

    Charlie Hides makes the cut for RuPaul’s Drag Race

    Drag sensation Charlie Hides is to star in Season 9 of RuPaul’s Drag Race.

    Hurrah, so the new cast of RuPaul’s Drag Race has been announced and Charlie Hides has been confirmed for the show. We take a look back at some of the take out from our interview with the Massachusetts-born Charlie Hides.

    So how did Charlie get into the world of drag? 

    As a kid I was in school shows and entertained my family with different characters. I used to do impersonations of my classmates and teachers and of TV personalities. The first time I did actual drag was as a teen ager as a way to sneak into nightclubs when I was still underage.

    Charlie is, of course, utterly famous for his videos of Cher and Madonna did you know it takes around 20-30 hours to film each one?

    I have so much fun making the videos, I don’t consider it work. Sometimes I come home from a gig and film till 4 in the morning but I keep going as long as I’m having fun. The day I filmed the Exorcist scene for my Halloween video. The guy from SKY showed up to install a new box in the bedroom. There were lights and camera all around the bed and I still had on some green make up. The look on his face was priceless.

    How have the celebs reacted to his parodies of them?

    Kylie has been very sweet and said some very nice things about me on Twitter and in interviews. And I’ve heard that Cher has started using some of my catch phrases with her sisters and friends.
