Inside your July Wolverhampton Magazine - in stores now
Feathers, fans and flamboyant attire, not to mention a carriage pulled by white horses. It could only mean one thing - Julian Clary arriving for the launch of Wolverhampton Grand Theatre's panto Cinderella.
We chat to him in this issue about faux pas, playing poker with Joan Collins and discover that underneath the make-up and outrageous performances there is a quiet side to the camp comic. Oh yes there is.
There's more celebrity chat with stylist to the stars Nicky Clarke. In a career spanning almost four decades he's coiffed the locks of more than 300 famous faces – and regularly graced the glossies alongside them. We talk to him about celebrity, reality TV and not losing his hair!
Plus there's a chance to win a VIP experience at Nicky Clarke's Birmingham salon.
July's cover story features the glamorous Julie Bates whose splendid estate near Shifnal inspired her faux flowers brand Peony. The flowers are so real even Alan Titchmarsh was fooled by them. Now, after launching on TV shopping channel QVC, business is literally blooming. You can win a day at the Ruckley estate touring the gardens and visiting the factory on site where all the flowers are made.
Plus there's plenty of property, fashion and beauty, food and drink and don't miss our new look social scene. Finally, we have a special focus on Wales and visit some of its best loved tourist treasures. What are you waiting for, time to book that break.
