With the G's, B's and T's all well represented in the Winter Pride festivities, what's a gay girl to do? How about organising one of the most headline-grabbing events we've seen in Brighton. Lesbian Mud Wrestling, for example.

For those of you who have arrived at this story by typing 'lesbian', 'mud' and 'wrestling' into Google, then shame on you. This was never going to be centre-page in 'Razzle' or any other top shelf mucky mag - despite the mud-slinging, there just weren't enough hair or nails for that. However, it has to be said that this was possibly the most fun you could have with a scrum of scantily clad girls, an inflatable boxing ring and a few pints of watered down face-pack thrown in for good measure. There was definitely something strangely alluring about the whole thing - or perhaps I'm just spending too much time at the Candy Bar!

It was one-in, one-out all night as everyone grabbed an opportunity to get their ringside seat at this competition. And competition it was. There was more boisterous chanting, jeering, yelling and roaring than you could possibly expect at all the Six Nations rugger matches put together.

It was clear that there would be some friendly rivalry between the 'Hard' Candy Bar girls and the Marlborough ladies and added to this we had challenges from a University team and one very plucky entrant from the PV, not to mention the Charles Street girls!

REALBrighton sadly had to withdraw their potential entrant, Girlyrob, when she enquired about the use of knuckle-dusters and weaponry. My excuse, on the other hand, was that I have an aversion to all things rubber and air-filled since an unfortunate accident with a bouncy castle. We'd have been eaten alive in any case.

This was Winter Pride at its best and the organisation was incredible. Special mention has to go to Cat who was referee and ring-mistress all rolled into one. Despite a nose-bleed that started before a match, and a few frantic puffs on a ventolin inhaler - there were no injuries...

I think we'll be seeing this event again! Ding-dong - round one!
