I am being stretched by my very cruel and unusual editor Star Trekking me through strange galaxies of entertainment I would not have thought on my radar.

Playmate: ‘Thirty Three’ at The Old Fitz It’s someone else’s party, but I get the sense that crying is totally acceptable from all in attendance. Welcome to Saskia’s thirty-third birthday. Take a seat right in the living room and watch as guests arrive, invited or otherwise. Sit next to the table they will soon set, eat from, snort off and fight across. Be there as egos, injuries and debaucherous motives take over. ‘Thirty Three’ is the
