I went to a rave at a sex carnival, and here's the fever dream that followed
8:03pm Dear Diary… My Friend Misty is throwing one of its signature parties at the Museum of Sex tonight—a dark, romantic soirée layered with intrigue and sensory pleasures. Very much my scene. If past Misty parties are any indication, we're in for a tantalizing treat. Tonight's affair takes place inside an erotic carnival. Misty tells me to dress the part. I'm wearing a pair of dark green Victorian bloomers. (I love saying 'bloomers.') White cufflinks, a black ruffled corset, and a pair of lacy black stockings, I think I pull it off. Leaning into the carnival theme, I paint my lips like a ventriloquist puppet, with cheekbone hearts and a pink button nose. It's Moulin Rouge-meets-Barnum & Bailey. Just need to find my riding crop, and I'm off for the night… 10:07pm We have arrived. I check in with Alan T, a legend of Miami nightlife, and search for Tam Gryn, the museum's curator. I find her smiling atop the staircase, in a pleated blue skirt with metal studs. Before we hit the dancefloor, Tam walks us through the exhibitions. First is " Modern Sex: 100 Years of Design and Decency," a journey of sexual health mirrored by American media. We marvel at douches from the 1920s. There's a paper from Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood. 'Whatever is happening in the world reflects in art, and reflects in sex culture,' Tam tells me. We look at post-World War II advertisements warning soldiers of syphilis. Men are noticeably absent from the ads, placing the safe-sex onus on women rather than the soldiers' own promiscuity. Classic. I giggle at the 'Anal Intruder Set,' sit with reverence on the topic of AIDS, and giggle again when I spot the original Sybian. We move on to the next exhibition, " Hajime Sorayama: Desire Machines." I've seen images of Sorayama's 'sexy robots' before, but nothing like this. Gold and silver cyborgs, entangled and engorged, legs spread across the canvas. Provocative is an understatement. Tam points out the octopus, a classic example of Japanese 'tentacle erotica.' The gallery is rattling with heavy bass coming from the party below. Anticipation is growing. Finally, we reach the famous robots, voluptuous steel sculptures encased in glass. They look so human, and yet, not at all. Fascinating… 10:48pm It's time to party. We hug Tam goodbye and walk through a tunnel of kaleidoscopic art—like entering a portal to another world. Suddenly, we're inside a mossy medieval castle. It smells like Big Red cinnamon gum. A few more steps and we enter the carnival. It's hot and steamy in here, just how Misty likes it. I hope I'll catch her tonight. Misty is always elusive, never in plain sight but always present. I figure she's on the dancefloor. Her two best friends are about to play: David Sinopoli, the founder of Miami's iii Points festival; and Elad Zvi, founder of Bar Lab Hospitality, otherwise known by his DJ moniker, Maccabi. We walk past the bounce house of inflatable boobs and shimmy our way into the crowd. Sinopoli and Maccabi start off hot. I mean red hot. I mean 'Red Right Hand' by Nick Cave hot. I LOVE THIS SONG!! I love this groovy remix. It's precisely the heady, genre-bending music I've come to expect from My Friend Misty. A trio of sexy vixens are dancing above. They look like pin-up girls from the 1950s, dripping in sequins, wearing pointy padded bras. I recognize Elena Lee, the beautiful dancer from Club Space. There's still no sign of Misty, but I think I see Mokibaby, her partner in crime. Maybe I'll ask her—but I'm in no rush. Sinopoli and Maccabi just dropped 'Bang Bang' by Nancy Sinatra, and so, I must dance. 11:39pm More of my friends have arrived—Caro, Juan Carlos, Eli, Jonbo. It's like a clown car, they just keep coming! We meet at the conversation pit, between the giant testicles and the skee ball game, when I see a neon 'Misty' sign out of the corner of my eye. Aha! I walk over and find Mokibaby, a.k.a. Veronica Gessa, the mastermind artist behind the My Friend Misty parties. She's hanging with Ventigoth, a local photographer whom I adore. I try not to fangirl. I fail. They're fun, hot and talented—my favorite combination. They tell me Misty just left, and so I take advantage to chat with Mokibaby. Dressed like a sultry secretary, she tells me about the essence of Misty: her love for cinema and strong female characters, her passion for pleasure and self-pampering. At each of her events, Misty is revealed through interactive vignettes. I think about the time I wandered into Misty's bedroom at Floyd, where Audrey Hepburn movies played on analog televisions. Tonight, it's custom-made playing cards inspired by divination, a nod to carnival fortune-tellers. I play my cards right and score a bottle of Misty's essential oil, handmade by Mokibaby herself. Speaking of the carnival—where on earth is Misty? Has she run away with the circus?! 'Misty is a vaudeville dancer tonight,' Mokibaby says. 'She's probably on stage with Elena performing a burlesque act.' Finally, a lead, I think to myself. Ventigoth snaps a photo. I'm off to search for my friend Misty—but not before some naughty adventure. 2:41am THIS IS SO MUCH FUN. My riding crop is a huge hit (and a great way to shepherd the crowds.) I'm loving all the carnival games, especially 'Glory Stall'. Diary, I dare not tell you how to play, just know you need to tug three times… The music is swirling like the girls riding the mechanical bull. I hear 'Smalltown Boy' and Faithless, a low-vocal edit of Madonna's 'Jump', gothic rock and heavy techno all rolled into one. There's a lady in an alligator mask. Alan T is feeding people slices of cake. Elena and the dancers are binding each other Shibari-style, in full-body leotards that somehow look sexier than anything else they've worn tonight. There's a rumor of an after-party at Jolene in downtown. I'm intrigued, but my feeble friends are weary. (To be fair, we've been here for five hours.) Actually, come to think of it, I'm hungry. Maybe we bounce. 3:32am Dear Diary… I'm writing in pajamas. Pizza rolls are in the oven. Night at the Roxbury is on TV. I feel like a teenage cliché, but truthfully, I'm content. I never did find Misty. Maybe she ran away with the circus after all. At least I got a glimpse into Misty's magical world, even if just for a night. Until next time…

Oasis 'flooded with big money offers to play major festivals next year' after success of sold out reunion tour
They are currently enjoying a five night stint of sold out shows in their home city of Manchester as their reunion tour gets well under way. However it seems the Oasis reunion tour may lead to even bigger and better things with the band reportedly inundated with big money offers to play major festivals next year. With the hype around the Brit pop band greater than ever The Sun have reported that their teams are receiving requests for Liam and Noel to play big shows all over the globe including Coachella and Benicassim. An insider told the publication: 'If fans thought Oasis were busy, they should see the offers their teams are fielding behind the scenes. 'None of the bids are being accepted at the moment. They're just being stacked up to be discussed at a later date. The focus for Oasis is this tour, and so far it's been a phenomenal success.' They added: 'Any decisions about future performances are a long way off — but some of them look incredibly tempting.' With the hype around the Brit pop band greater than ever their teams are receiving requests for Liam and Noel to play big shows all over the globe including Coachella and Benicassim It will be down to Noel and Liam whether they continue following the existing dates, but they are loving being back on stage performing to their loyal fans. MailOnline have contacted Oasis' representatives for comment. Oasis' 41 date reunion tour, which kicked off in Cardiff last week, will also see the band head to the rest of the UK, Ireland, Australia, the US and Mexico. It comes after ticketless Oasis fans reportedly tried to 'storm Heaton Park' on Friday as the band kicked off the first of their five-night stint at the venue. It has been claimed that the police were forced to intervene as people attempted to gain entry to the sold-out gig, with footage showing metal fence panels on the ground. The brothers performed in front of a sold-out 80,000 strong crowd in their home city of Manchester. But some of those who were unable to get tickets to the event appeared to take matters into their own hands and attempt to jump the fence. According to Manchester Evening News, an eyewitness claimed that 'around 50 people' had tried to 'rush' one of the internal entrances to the gig area. It was thought that 10 people got in, but the publication reported that the rest were 'apprehended and turned away.' The police later issued a statement to MEN confirming that 'no one made it through to the concert area.' The shows at Heaton Park - a 600-acre public park in Bury and Manchester - are the only UK shows held outside a stadium, with the others taking place at the Principality Stadium, Wembley and Murrayfield. Elsewhere, fans were given a treat as many lucky music lovers were able to enjoy the bands opening night at Heaton Park 'for free.' While some paid hundreds to watch the reunion gig, some were able to catch the performance on TV screens. As the duo performed Don't Look Back In Anger, Cigarettes and Alcohol and Morning Glory could be heard across Prestwich. Although many didn't have a ticket for the event, many were able to catch the gig on the big screens from a near by hill. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan said: 'Henman Hill? Welcome to Gallagher Hill #oasis.' 'Amazing night on Gallagher Hill in Heaton Park for Oasis. Best atmosphere & lovely people!' Oasis guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, who joined the brothers on stage, shared a clip of the fans enjoying the concert from outside the venue. Alongside the clip, he penned: 'No tickets needed,' alongside red heart emojis.

Huge ITV drama ‘facing axe' dealt fresh blow as creator quits after he's slammed for woke storylines
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DESPITE gaining a huge following since its launch a decade ago, cold case series Unforgotten feels to some fans as if it is losing its way a little. First, lead Nicola Walker was replaced in 2023, then this year's series was criticised for its woke storylines. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 ITV drama Unforgotten has been dealt another fresh blow after Nicola Walker, pictured, was replaced in 2023 Credit: Rex 4 Chris Lang, the writer behind the ITV thriller, wants to quit the series after next year's run Credit: Alamy Now Chris Lang, the brains behind the ITV thriller, says he wants to quit as writer after next year's run. He said: 'I'll probably hand on the baton after this series. I'll still be involved, but I've written 42 episodes and don't want to repeat myself.' In an interview with the Royal Television Society, Chris added: 'I wouldn't write it if I didn't have something to say about the state of the nation. 'Because Unforgotten has an inherent and robust structure, that allows me space to hold up a mirror to British society — it's a Trojan horse show.' But the show, which also stars Sanjeev Bhaskar as DI Sunil Khan, has been slammed by some viewers for those 'Trojan horse' storylines that deal with themes including immigration, racism and the Covid crisis. Taking to X, one remarked: 'I reckon one more series and this show will get mothballed or even fully axed. Unfortunately this one is a real box-ticking leftie crowd-pleaser.' Another posted: 'The woke mind virus has even taken hold of #Unforgotten' Another added: '#Unforgotten is forgettable. Another drama has gone woke.' A fourth said: '#itv how many woke boxes did you tick in that first episode? Lecturing your audience is so tedious.' Yet another stated: 'Given up on this load of woke garbage, supposed to be entertainment not propaganda.' Unforgotten star reveals surprise real-life family link to storyline - as hit ITV crime drama returns The first episode of last series, which aired in February, peaked at 7.4million viewers, making it the second highest-performing drama of last year. Chris also said that many viewers still hadn't forgiven the show for losing Nicola, who played DCI Cassie Stuart and replacing her with Sinead Keenan as new department chief, DCI Jessica James. He recalled how he was with his wife on holiday last year and met some American fans who were initially thrilled to discover Chris had written the show. But he said: 'The mood suddenly soured. One of the women went full Kathy Bates and said, 'You killed Nicola Walker!'. Here's hoping he hasn't killed off the whole show, too. WOULD I FLY TO YOU? 4 Rob Brydon IN Destination X, the BBC's new challenge show Credit: BBC HERE'S the first look at Rob Brydon as he launches Destination X, the BBC's brilliant new challenge show. Smartly dressed as a pilot, the Would I Lie To You? host can be seen getting the first nail-biting trial under way in the series that is part Traitors and part Race Across The World. And the contestants are in for a wild ride. The show, which launches later this month, sees them board a blacked-out bus where they are fed clues – and a few nasty red herrings – with one simple question at the end of each episode: Where in Europe are you? A £100,000 prize awaits the winner. But with the amount of Euro facts we'll all learn along the way, I reckon some of us will win big at the next pub quiz too. GLAD SPIN-OFF IS BACK THE Gladiators spin-off prank show proved such a hit with viewers it's back for a second series. I can reveal it will be shot when the lycra-clad muscle men and women convene this month to film the conventional show for BBC One. Gladiators: Epic Pranks is aimed at youngsters and sees the likes of Phantom and Giant playing tricks on one another, and members of the public, for the sadistic amusement of viewers. There will also be the celebrity spin-off, which usually airs around Christmas, at the same time as the regular show. But the names of the stars taking part have yet to be revealed. Watch this space . . . IT'S A FULL HOUSE IN LONDON MOST of you probably thought The Real Housewives Of London would be a bunch of filthy rich women carping at each other while gorging on various luxuries in the capital. Well, you're wrong – because they also go to Scotland. 4 Panthea Parker is one of the six cast members for Real Housewives of London Credit: Hayu Everything else is true, however, which is pretty evident in the trailer which has just been released ahead of the new show streaming on Hayu from August 18. It's like a game of posh princess bingo, with mentions of diamond bracelets, facelifts, caviar, castles – and, of course, oodles of money. Some of the interactions between the warring women are a delight. In the trailer, one tells another: 'You're just a chronic liar and an insecure tw*t!' Another tells a rival: 'You're a f***ing bitch, a low life and mutton dressed as lamb.' Can. Not. Wait.
