Dr Evil, the Joker and Catwoman are getting together to make
this year’s Sleaze Ball the nastiest ever.
'The Villain’s Lair' is the theme for this year’s event, announced
by New Mardi Gras (NMG) on Saturday
night.
NMG chair David Imrie revealed the theme for this year’s October
4 Sleaze Ball at a function for members.
“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.”
Glen Hanson, who created the iconic posters for Ghetto Fabulous and Zirkus, will
be creating the artwork again this year, realising a unique trilogy of Sleaze
Ball posters.
“It’s wonderful to be working with Glen again,” said Damien
Eames, head of Brand and Creative Strategy at NMG.
“His unique style has contributed greatly to creating a distinctive Sleaze Ball
brand. It’s all about the style and the attitude and fits perfectly with our
aim to make this Australia’s pre-eminent costume party.”
Last year’s costume competition, Project Sleazeway,
will again be a big feature of the party. Details of this year’s competition will be available
before the end of June.
The full line-up for the party, ticket prices and on sale
date will be announced in the coming weeks.
