I'll have a MacGregor please.

There is something about the surname "MacGregor/McGregor" in this country. It’s like a one-way ticket to purrdy. There was Kerry, Tracy, and now Chris MacGregor. Sure, there are a few discrepancies when it comes to spelling but details, details. The latest MacGregor rewarded for his good looks is Chris MacGregor who recently won the Mr Pink Loerie Competition. It doesn't end there though; he's now gearing up to compete in the Mr Gay SA competition.

GoTravel24 recently published an interview with the country's pinkest and prettiest title winner. Among his win at the Pink Loerie Mardi Gras and an automatic qualification into Mr Gay SA, he also won Mr Underwear 09. Who wouldn't jump at the chance at that?

Chris did have a few insights about what’s super hot and not on the gay scene in Cape Town and the rest of South Africa. A keen traveller, we looked to his interview on GoTravel24 for the places to see and be seen. Topping the Pink List in Cape Town was Cape Town itself (gotta love this city). Anyway, Cape Town is, without a doubt, the gay capital of SA, raise the rainbow flag high, and salute foreigners. And if you need anymore proof, visit Clifton 3rd beach he says. Another feature of our regional charm is Bronx. Bronx is not just a nightclub, it’s like a Chanel suit...it never goes out of style. That's probably why Mr January to December called it "nationally famous" for a good party and longevity in the very changeable club scene, gay or straight.

Also topping the gAy List as one of those clubs that just pumps is Crew. Not around for very long but boy, they have hot dancers to entertain and coach those who can't break it down quite like they should. Heading north to the rest of the country are the monthly QC parties held in Joburg, Legends in Pretoria, Traxxx and The Lounge in Durban.

Outside of South Africa, Chris says that London has a fantastic gay scene, so maybe we should think about doing some sort of exchange program? Just a thought. On the whole, the gay scene in SA seems to have something for everyone. Yes, indeed says Chris. Just not him, he's currently single looking to see a little more of the world, win a few titles and find Mr Right all nicely wrapped up in 100% Man. No fairies need apply for the position; Mr Pink Loerie knows what he's looking for.

So for all the straight folk wanting to coat tail or just shake things up, hit the gay scene for a good party. Just don't bring ANY prejudices, judgement, or insecurities with you he says; besides that is soooo Pre-Harvey Milk. Enjoy the capital whether you're gay or straight and from all of us here at Tourism Radio, congratulations to Chris MacGregor! Salute the Pink
