Monday night saw the DIVAs (Drag Industry Variety Awards) launched at Stonewall Hotel.
Opening the proceedings was Maxi Shield, followed closely by a welcome and briefing from the DIVA President, Stuart Doherty.
DIVA will be held on the 28th August at the Star City Showroom.
After revealing the new poster for this year (with your truely on it! I'm under the "2006"), Maxi performed the number "Beast of Burden".
She then introduced the hosts for the evening, Verushka Darling, Mitzi Macintosh and, via sattelite link to Byron Bay, Vanessa Wagner.
It will be fun to watch this combination together on stage in August!
The DIVA judges hopped up on stage for the announcement that the Voting Day will be held at the Columbian the Saturday before the night.
The night will have video fillers between the shows and awards, and will be fully scripted. (Last year's scripted show was a huge success and much better than watching typical "pub banter" between the hosts.)
The night will return to the Star City Showroom - check out the link for the venue seating map! (Standard Showroom). DIVAs comes complete with red carpet and an official "Bitch or Boast" After Party, this year at DCM, which is ALWAYS good fun!
Please bear in mind that there is a suggested "formal dress code".. This is a glamour event after all! (i.e. No jeans and t-shirts!)
Tickets can be bought from Ticketmaster (136 100) from Thursday 27 July 2006 at 9.00am and cost $102.80 + bf.
