My favourite Quentin Crisp facts: 1. He was from Sutton (which is down the road from me) 2. In his later years, he was friendly with Tess Daly off of Strictly. heykidsrocknroll.etsy.com

In fairness who wouldn't want to get friendly with Tess Daly 🤷.

A fair point, although I fear that side of her appeal may have been lost on Quentin Crisp.

Love this! I was lucky enough to meet Quentin Crisp at an afterparty for the New York City Tattoo Convention in 1999 (I have a pic!) He was as fabulous as you'd expect him to be. He lightly touched my inked shoulder and said 'Oh, my dear, what beautiful tattoos' 😍

Thank you! Yes, he was born there (I don't think he was overly keen on it though!)

North Cheam for me. Anyway, thanks for the post, a very happy find this morning. I will hopefully be buying stuff from your shop in the coming months. 👍
