Coming Soon to A Book & Film — I Hope…

Filed Under Books & Mags, Fashion, Gay Film, Gossip 

Man, I’m meeting an interesting bunch of authors lately! The other day, I met this interesting Lesbian writer, Alison Aston, who’s just fininshed writing her debut novel — Closet.

Closet – think the gay Bridget Jones meets The Devil Wears Prada.

That alone made me want to rush right out to buy the book and sit down in a theatre and watch it right now.

The absolute deal clinchers for me where when I read the synopsis for Closet. Here’s a couple of excerpts:

Ugly Betty’s got it bad, but Becky Johnson’s got it worse.  Try being the only lesbian on a top women’s fashion magazine, darling…

With a little help from wacky roommate Vron and gay, goth friend Luke, Becks sets out to turn around the disaster that has become her life. 

There are hellish blind dates with a coke-snorting model booker and bitch troll charity worker, moments of personal guilt and horror as she’s forced to join in with her colleagues’ homophobia in order to maintain her secret, and hysterical high jinx when the world of high society collides with that of her working class family.

Of course, confrontation is inevitable when Becks realises that coming out isn’t for the faint-hearted and she finds herself forced to climb over those shoeboxes and out of that closet. 

Is there anyone who reads this blog that can help get this rolling?
