By the age of 10 it was obvious Mr Venus was something of an enigma and even with the talent to start secondary education at 9 not 11 due to being granted a place at The Royal Ballet School over the next 6 years they had suspended him 4 times and expelled him 3 times before they realised they couldn't tame him.
Notorious now as being the removed name on the David Blair scholarship board-and being the only scholar not to have joined the company. But this was a time when children should be seen and not heard his brutal honesty well clashed with authority when he insisted on questioning everything.
Then after a year with Ballet Rambert and appearing in countless 1980s pop videos and several West End shows he realised working for others wasn't for him-and Venus was born!
As this character The Venus Man-Trap he then travelled the world hosting parties such as ths Cannes Film Festival closing party and now is the only living member of the team who opened the infamous Madam Jo Jo's in Soho 1987.
A successful clubland career eventually turned into fashion work both styling and modelling Envid for being Terry De Havalands muse for 12 years But now NoAgEnDeR is his passion, to help and inspire others to believe and love themselves now it is finally legal to be their true selves. One day he thought he'd never see despite being born in 1967 the year homosexuality was decimalized yet still fighting for true equality
THAT IS THE LIFE I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD
At 18 my doctor told me to rest and not think about a career as I had contracted HIV in its first wave here in the first 6 months my circle of friends went from 28 to 3 death was everywhere and every 3 months for the next 20 years my doctor would say I'm doing well and if lucky had a good chance of surviving about 4 more years.
i did not sit back and wait to die I lived my life I was told wasn't mine and finally became undetectable So now I find the broken and unwanted and support them now nothing is impossible nothing out of bounds and everything is for taking. So demand attention and never not be who you are. The world is playing to our rules now so take cover for the revolution has begun.
TRUE EQUALITY is not a commodity you get to ALLOW or DENY its just right and you know it.
