This deathless clip - from the fabulous "Around the World in Eighty Ways Revue" of the one and only Miss Vickie Eydie (of whom there is no doubt that she is a lounge act) - heralds some amusing news, darlings.
Yes, it's true - I'm jetting off to meet Mr. Muscato on the shores of the Bosporus (where we will no doubt get preposterous). He's crossing the Med from Cairo with some friends, I fly in from the Sandlands at very nearly the same time, and we'll all have a jolly long weekend in Taksim.
I was last in Istanbul (not Constantinople) nearly ten years ago, in what turned out to be the waning months of my carefree bachelor days. In memory it was a supremely amusing place, and if at that time that involved some unlikely-to-be-repeated naughtiness, well - that's nobody's business but the Turks...
sometimes i forget how much time has gone by since
ReplyDeletebetty midler and i met.
Have a lovely time dear.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite city and my favourite lounge act! Am here right now enroute back to my own part of the sandpit. Marmara Pera hotel for the view over a sunset cocktail, and Firuz Agha hammam for 'afters' a highly recommended strategy :) Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! On a clearer evening, we shall give the Pera a whirl, and if you happen to encounter a couple of stout parties of a certain age accompanied by one or more Egyptians with an eye for the boys, out on the town, do say hello!
