A BRAVE NEW WORLD… MARDI GRAS 08, LAFFTER, VICTORIAN SECRETS, ETC

Been so busy with all the activities going on during the Midsummer Festival… and then the preparations for the coming Victorian Secret 08 Gay Beauty Pageant (sort of), Laffter Arena and the Mardi Gras in March 1.

Highlight preparations of these events are as follows:

VICTORIAN SECRETS 08  (LAFFTER ARENA) …. February 22

This is a showcase of the local divas in Melbourne in conjunction with the Laffter Arena Show (Anton Diva, Manny Poquiao, etc).    Originally, it was thought that it was only a parade of the gay crossdressers and drag queens but then it evolved into a contest as Philippine Tours donated a round trip ticket to the Philippines as a prize for the winner.  I helped in organizing this event with Liz Honey Promotions, and so far we have gathered 8 contestants.   I think this will be a fun event!

 MARDI GRAS PARADE – MARCH 01

 We have organized more than twenty pinoy drag queens and their friends to join us this year, after last year’s very successful entry to the Mardi Gras Parade (first ever Filipino group to parade).  

This year’s theme is “A BRAVE NEW WORLD” – 30th year anniversary.  Gonna be big!   We have conceptualized our group’s entry and it will be in keeping with Victorian Secrets Show showcasing white lingerie, feathers and wings. 

For inspiration and ideas, we keep on coming back to Victoria Secret 07 (wish I have that bowdie to show off
