This issue I am pictured with one of NZ’s most prolific pop stars PattyBoy. Patty released his new EP Introspective Illusions onto NZ iTunes last month. I caught up with him at his workplace, the amazing Giapo ice creamery on Queen street for our delectable editorial pic! It is fantastic to see talented GLBT Kiwis […]
