While the new concepts are brewing away, I’ve also been working with the Glamazons on our new Wednesday night show. Ripley’s been working on the music, and I heard some great mixes last Wednesday that are seeing the show develop some shape. Millie and I have been discussing costumes and we’re aiming for more glitz and more gay than ever before.

Over the past few week’s I’ve hosted Drag for Dollars at Arq Nightclub, where some of Sydney’s best (and worst) talent take to the stage for the chance to win $100 cash. Held every Thursday night from 12 midnight, it’s ALWAYS a hoot. I’ve performed at a camp event at Arq called Strictly 90’s, showcasing my on of my favourite era’s of music ever, and also supported DIVA at Stonewall’s International Day of Drag. I think we had more drag queens there than San Fran has in it’s Pride festival!

Other exciting news includes an upcoming trip to perform at Krave Nightclub’s Birthday Celebrations and of course my weekly trivia night held on Mondays at the Technology Park Hotel, 1 Wyndham St Alexandria. We’ve got $100 for you to win, DELICIOUS food in the bistro and a topless bartender to keep you salivating. Be there at 7 for a 7:30pm start

More news about my new ventures will be coming your way soon! Sit tight!

At the beginning of the show Russell beckoned for me to join him at the front of the stage and told me that he was enthralled by my eyes, though couldn’t work out whether I was a man or a woman; stating that I was some kind of ‘third-gender’ that he could make a buffet out of. He gave me a kiss and then after the show when he was signing autographs, I got called up on stage to have photos with him, which was a treat! I told him that I would be at the red carpet premiere of Get Him To The Greek the tomorrow night and he giggled.

Finally, Belinda dragged us around the side of the Entertainment Centre to catch Russell as he left the venue, and with so many people asking him to sign their programmes and shirts, I HAD to do something to stand out. So I asked him to sign my breast, which he was only happy to do. So I pulled out my foam breasticle and Russell burst into laughter before adding considerable value to my man-mammary with his autograph. I also managed to slip him a business card which he put in his pocket before winking at me and saying “I’ll see you tomorrow night, Summer”.

So, not only did I have a fabulous night, to top it all off, I was woken early this morning by Belinda bouncing around the Gay Frat House alerting me that we were all over the celeb news sites:

After just a few days recovery, I jumped into my little yellow bumblebee of a car and went north again to perform at Krave nightclub on the Central Coast. In addition to seeing so many regular patrons, and belting out 3 spot numbers, I had the honour of presenting awards to the committee members as part of the Mardi Gras wrap-up festivities. As I always say, the punters at Krave are such an appreciative crowd, and it’s always a pleasure to take to their stage.

Tonight I’ll be hosting the Midnight Shift along with the rest of the Glamazons and we’ll be raising a glass in memorial of our good friend David Hiscock who passed away a year ago today. I still miss him every time I walk into that DJ booth, but I ALWAYS get a smile on my face when I see Miss 3D’s astonishing cake depicting David standing there proudly alongside Frankie Shin.

In lighter news, we’re opening our new Wednesday show in roughly 3 weeks, so make sure you come down to the Shift to see the final weeks of Trixxx of the Trade!

This week will be a monumental one: Tonight I’ll be in boy form at the Midnight Shift supporting Sydney’s up and coming talent in So You Think You Can Drag 3, tomorrow I’m hosting the Glamazons with Millie Poppins and Ripley Waters and on Thursday and Friday I’ll be hosting Mardi Bar at Nevermind with my FAVOURITE porn star in the entire world, Brent Corrigan! Then of course there’s the Mardi Gras Parade this coming Saturday and I’ll be on the Krave float, joined by Charisma Belle!

With 4 (not so) straight nights of drag coming up this week, you’ll be bound to see me out and about somewhere. Make sure you come say hi and we’ll have a photo!

Whatever you do, be safe and look out for your friends. Party hard kids, it’s Gay Christmas!

There will be DJ’s, bands, singers, dancers, leather exhibitions, plenty of stalls, a bigger rides section than ever before and of course the ever popular Doggywood events! Every year that I have attended or worked at Fair Day, I have been filled with a sense of immense pride for Gay Sydney. All in all, we are smart, sexy, funny, innovative, loving and generous people, and Fair Day is the best day of the year to share our culture with each other and the rest of the world. Everyone is welcome to Fair Day, regardless of anything including age. Bring your friends, parents, kids, dogs and perhaps even your love-slaves to enjoy a day in Victoria Park Broadway as we kick off the Mardi Gras season with a bang!

I’ll be hosting the main stage from 10am till 2pm at Fair Day this Sunday 21st February, so keep an eye out for the blonde in the pink; and remember to show your generosity by donating to our charities at every opportunity!

After numerous try outs and auditions, Ripley Waters managed to score a spot for his sister in the show; So we’re only too pleased to announce the arrival of Serena Waters! She’s a n interesting girl, looking like a cross between Decoda Secret and Sascha Fierce, with a smile distinct to the Waters family. Speaking of Decoda, she gracefully removed her wig and heels and agreed to fill in for Ripley as our boy dancer. Decoda/David Olsen did an amazing job last night with the Glamazons and we can only hope you’ll come along next Wednesday night at the Midnight Shift to see the madness all over again!

This weekend I’ll be doing a solo road trip to Krave nightclub on the Central Coast to promote their float for Mardi Gras! With the theme of Kandy Kingdom, the sexy boys and girls of the coast are fiercely preparing their outfits for what is always one of Mardi Gras’ most eye-catching floats. You can catch me at Krave this Saturday night at the Grand Hotel Wyong, and probably at every McDonalds along the way!

I’ve got some exciting updates on Mardi Gras and Fair Day coming up, along with some new ventures on the strip and new shows for the Glamazons, so make sure you keep heading back for all the latest news!

Slide was transformed into a ship full of castaways as gorgeous boys and super cute girls danced the night away thanks to our fabulous DJ James Tobin. We had special performers including 2009 DIVA Rising Star Decoda Secret as our Lovefool, Millie Poppins channelling Ursula doing Poor Unfortunate Souls and Kiki Fetch, Laidee Babooshka and Elle O’Ell adding some spice to the night. Our spunky boys Ripley Waters and Leigh Sleightholme provided some eye candy for the fabulous Love Boat production show, plus we had awesome prizes to give away including Master/Slave underwear and gift vouchers, Karim Konrad photography vouchers, Seal CDs and of course, tanning vouchers form our Golden Sponsor Soleil Tanning! It was HUGE!

Then I dragged myself together again for Saturday night to visit Benita for her birthday celebrations at Nevermind and Stonewall. The cream (albeit slightly clotted) of Sydney’s social drag scene were out en masse to party hard! The champagne was flowing freely and the dancefloor was pounding as we helped Benita celebrate her birthday in style. She’s been a good, and somewhat mischievous, friend of mine for years and I’m proud to give her a shout out for her big day. Happy Birthday Lady!

The rest of the weekend was spent helping friends move a new washing machine (butch!) and watching movies while eating a homemade stir fry and bundles of popcorn (and my hand made brownies!). What better way to complete a fabulous weekend

This week I’ll be with the Glamazons at the Midnight Shift on Wednesday from 9:30pm, working with Millie for the last time before she goes interstate for two weeks. Just you wait till we announce her replacement!

Twinktown Hello Sailor! will be setting sail with a naughty-cal theme this Friday 22nd January. Slide Nightclub is being transformed into a magical underwater wonderland as I write this, and I’ll be expecting to see plenty of cabin boys, sea-wenches and hopefully some arse-pirates for good measure!

Kicking off at 9pm (get in early as first show is at 10pm!), we’ll be see the return of the penultimate Twink-Drink: Upsynth! I’ve managed to score a deal with the suppliers to bring this hugely popular drink back to Twinktown, and I’m pleased to announce that it’s exclusive to US! They’re $9 at the bar; just look out for the bottles of bright green goodness!

After a meeting at Slide yesterday I was able to see the BRAND NEW LIGHT UP DANCE FLOOR in all it’s luminous glory. Trust me kids, this is like nothing you’ve seen before…ANYWHERE!

And let’s not forget the AWESOME talent involved in keeping you men-tertained all night:

SPECIAL GUEST: DIVA Rising Star Decoda Secret
Millie Poppins
Ripley Waters
Kiki Fetch
Laidee Babooshka
Elle O’Ell
And in his Twinktown swansong performance: Leigh Sleightholme!

Make sure you join me and our twinkalicious DJ James Tobin for Twinktown Hello Sailor! this Friday. The high seas will be rough and choppy, but the boys will be smooooth and sexy.

This year was a little different for me; my memory missed a significant part of NYE Eve when I was drinking double-vodka-nothings on the beach with some close friends and I got lost after running from a policeman when he asked “Was that you letting off the fireworks?”. The correct thing to so would have been to say “Who Sir? Me Sir? NO Sir!”, the incorrect thing do to was to piss-bolt in the opposite direction, get lost on a different track, fight with a tree branch or 8 and to be found by a search party bleeding from a significant laceration to the head. And then to wake up the next morning with ZERO memory of what happened. Needless to say, I did the incorrect thing and suffered dearly in the form of the most massive hangover known to man or whoa-man. I had to host NYE at the Midnight Shift and after sleeping from 1pm till 9:30pm I slapped on some Betadine, “Ouch!”ed myself through putting on a face, and trundled up to the Shift at 11:30pm, fearing the mere smell of alcohol would render me both useless and covered in rainbow spew. SOMEHOW, by the grace of God and with Belinda by my side, I managed to hand out party poppers and lead the absolutely packed venue into the new decade with a fabulous countdown, a spot number and a great view of the fireworks on the plasmas.

After that, I finished my one and only red bull and rolled down the hill into to carefully wipe-off my make-up, trying to remove it all from open wounds, and dove into bed.

That was my New Years. Not traditionally exciting but a fantastic story nonetheless. I’ll omit the spewing into the gutter, swinging on a lamppost and falling into the man-made pool of pink liquid below, as it detracts slightly. But nonetheless, I look back and will never forget the year behind me.

Coming up this month, the Glamazons return to the Midnight Shift on Wednesdays to present Trixxx of the Trade and some fantabulous spot shows, and the first Twinktown of 2010 will be held at Slide Nightclub on Friday 22nd. The theme will shortly be announced, and we’ll be setting sail before you know it.

Have a magical week!

Following on form Friday’s final show, I will be producing my very first Twinktown party at Slide nightclub on Saturday night! As mentioned before, the lady herself, Sascha Fierce will be leaving the country to live in a giant castle in Germany, and has handed the reins of the twink collars over to me. I’m SO excited about this opportunity and can’t wait to make this night even bigger and better than the fantastic success it has already become. Stay tuned, because Twinktown XXXMAS is just the start of a new revolution!

So remember: Friday night – Carlotta’s Final Priscilla Show at Canterbury Hurlstone Park RSL. Saturday night – Summer Salt’s Twinktown XXXMAS with prizes from our fabulous sponsor Soleil Tanning, and plenty of lollies for both naughty and nice kids Slide Nightclub Oxford St.
