Diva, Diva, Diva! I am one, I鈥檝e won one and I鈥檓 excited about this year鈥檚 event.
It鈥檚 their 21st birthday and I鈥檓 ready to party! OK, I lie. I鈥檓 an old has-been, a fallen diva, never to be nominated again.
But it鈥檚 not about winning, it鈥檚 about being acknowledged. I only go now to keep everyone informed about the inside gossip, who passed out in the toilet, who broke their DIVA, and which has-been vomited on me! Vile!
DIVA will be held on October 24 at the Byron Kennedy Hall, better known as The Dome by the young folk. The after-party is at Kit and Kaboodle.
The amazing Trevor Ashley will be hosting and also announced is the international special guest 鈥� Jackie Beat.
I鈥檓 excited this year as I鈥檓 having a makeover by Prada Clutch! Bring on the Botox, collagen and industrial paint! I鈥檓 going to look like a supermodel.
Heaven social dance has locked in dates for 2012 and I鈥檓 excited about all the changes that are coming.
In the style of Celebrity Apprentice, I鈥檓 firing all the cast! Sue is heading off to work at a Supre outlet, Gracie has a new career as a nanny in Ethiopia, Laydee鈥檚 off to pursue her singing career at any karaoke bar that鈥檒l will have her!.
They鈥檙e all unique in their own way, it鈥檚 just a pity we don鈥檛 get along as well as we used to.
As it鈥檚 Your Westy Divas final production, next year will see new and old guests and spectacular new productions at the Northmead Bowling Club.
I鈥檓 very excited to announce Western Sydney will have its first New Year鈥檚 Eve party in four years at Heaven, so if you鈥檙e after something a tad more intimate come along, tickets are available at the next dance on October 29 with the final instalment of Drags @ Work. I can鈥檛 wait for a fresh start in 2012.
Sometimes it鈥檚 very hard to coordinate two social events in the West and not many people are aware that our social events are private functions and are not businesses.
We鈥檙e all on track at Kaleidoscope locked in for the first Saturday of every month at the Parramatta Golf Club. I鈥檒l be seeing red in December at Kaleidoscope as we will be marking World AIDS Day with our Red Party fundraiser on Saturday, December 3 with all proceeds going to ACON Western Sydney.
The event will be hosted by Big Red (me), Laydee Kimmee and Prada Clutch with an assortment of talent.
If you鈥檇 like to like be part of World AIDS Day on December 1 or contribute to fundraising, you can volunteer to sell red ribbons at your workplace, social event or on the day. Contact www.redribbonday.org.au
Drag gossip: Why do some drag queens insist on being paid for charity work? I鈥檝e never been or asked to be paid. What do you think?
And what is it with baby drags insisting on being paid top dollar to perform, when they don鈥檛 respect their elders who got them to where they are now and aren鈥檛 that great anyway?
Until next time, gorgeous! Luv BB
