Former New Mardi Gras Chair Marcus Bourget and Cleo Coupe gave a lively rendition of Sonny and Cher’s immortal ditty, ‘I Got You Babe’ at New Mardi Gras’ inaugural members’ party held at The Midnight Shift Saturday night.
The event, attended by hundreds of members and guests, saw current NMG Chair David Imrie announce the theme for this year’s Sleaze Ball – The Villain’s Lair.
“Last year’s Zirkus party was a real milestone in putting Sleaze Ball back on its pedestal as Sydney’s dress-up night of the year,” Imrie said. “The creative opportunities opened up by this year’s theme, The Villain’s Lair, are immense. I can’t wait to see what people come up with.”
Artist Glen Hanson, who created the iconic posters for Ghetto Fabulous and Zirkus, will be returning, as will the popular runway competition walk-off.
Bourget’s contribution as NMG Chair was also recognised on the night.
The full line-up for the party, ticket prices and sale date will be announced in the coming weeks.
