After almost half a year, Shanghai’s iconic “alternative lifestyle nightclub”, Home Bar, officially reopened last week under its new brand, Pinkhome. It has been transformed from its previous existence into what is China’s first gay multiplex including a dance club, restaurant/lounge, and hotel. As some readers may remember, there was a pre-soft (is that a word?) opening last October for the bar, after which the establishment was closed again until renovations were completed. For those of us privy to that event, the ground floor décor looked much the same as it did in October, though, vastly different from the old, gritty, but lovable Home.

This past week featured an appearance by two very special ladies, drag queens Gwen and Bling (see photo). Their website describes them as follows:

Shanghaiist is Shanghai’s No. 1 fag hag, just ask any gay man. There is a dearth of information on our great city's thriving gay community in the media. That's why we’ll be featuring different aspects of the scene, including entertainment venues, parties, and personal stories in the near future.
