George Michael has been confirmed for the Mardi Gras Party this Saturday. His appearance was announced in today's Daily Telegraph.
Adam Lambert jets into Australia today for a whirlwind tour ahead of his confirmed appearance at Sydney’s Mardi Gras party this Saturday night.
So that was Week 1 of the Mardi Bar! We broke records each night, and want to thank you for making it so much fun every time we opened the doors.
The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade marched through Darlinghurst last night with an almost naked Amanda Lepore at the helm, and some 10,000 others behind her.
The Same Same Mardi Bar, presented by Absolut No Label and supported by ING Direct, got off to a flying start last night at Nevermind with Brent Corrigan playing Twister and more.
William Yang answers the phone in a soft voice and tells me he has been expecting my call. Like a sage overseer of the past few decades of gay life and the Sydney scene, Yang passes comment on how Mardi Gras has changed, and how things are the same.
It’s 2:30am on a chilly Sydney morning. Three friends and I are just waking up and preparing to participate in an historical moment as photographer Spencer Tunick photographs thousands of naked people at the iconic Sydney Opera House.
Sponsors paying actors to march in their floats. A leading gay activist "banned" from Fair Day. A predominantly queer float being excluded from the Parade, while spots go to corporate sponsors. Just what does Mardi Gras mean these days?
At first glance you could label Brent Corrigan as a just another gay porn star but take a closer look and you'll see an experienced veteran of the industry who, at just 23 years old, is an entrepreneur, a young actor and a man wise beyond his years.
The 2010 Mardi Gras Film Festival opens February 12 with a program filled with the latest and greatest of international gay and lesbian cinema.
Over the last 15 years Spencer Tunick has documented over 75 large scale temporary installations of naked people around the world. He tells Same Same why he believes gay and straight people should be lying naked in public together.
What a turn around! For the first time since 2005 there's going to be an election for the positions on the Mardi Gras board. This year there are 12 nominees in total and only 8 positions.
At 25 years of age, Aaron James McGarry certainly seems like a man who knows where he's going. With his first solo visual art show Pop Porn he's choosing themes close to home and putting the work into a environment closer to where they resonate.
From What Do I Have To Do? through to Who’s That Girl?, we've grown up with curious questions posed by catchy pop songs. The exhibition Pop The Question seeks to answer the questions posed by these inquisitive tracks.
Amanda Palmer is tired. Exhausted, even. You can hardly blame her, given her excessive touring schedule and the almost shocking contrast of minimal break-time in-between them.
Did you miss out on seeing the shows at this year's Mardi Gras Party? Here are videos of main shows from the RHI that had everybody talking.
Despite showers in the first two hours of the party, Sydney turned out a gorgeous evening as Harbour 10 settled in for the night, and when you have great weather this party really knows how to shine on a spectacular level!
It's not very often that a live show can make you laugh so hard, that you're genuinely worried about peeing your pants. Frisky And Mannish's School Of Pop is one of those shows.
"After just a few minutes of the play, I was breathless – sure, from giggling, but also from the amount of energy being expended."
The House of Blackstar is back again this Mardi Gras with their dance party event Fierce Ball, a spectacular night of indigenous celebration. One of the ladies taking to the stage is Constantina Bush.
The deliciously unhinged Glace Chase, known to a select few as Rick Viede, is back with a hot new show - 'Last Night's Beauty Queen'. We asked him a few questions as he polished his tiara.
2009 Mardi Gras had it all - from sexy costumes to celebrity spats and everything in between. Same Same wraps up our Mardi Gras 2009 coverage with one last video from Parade and Party.
Fro hoes, fag hags and a whole heap of fabulous combined to make this year's Bobby Goldsmith Glamstand a huge success for both the charity and the A-list gays in attendance.
If you're in the mood for some light hearted comedy with strong performances, head out to the Factory Theatre in Marrickville for Heir Raising.
