Right Gender Mix

With all the fuss about Channel 10’s new show So You Think You Can Dance, Channel 7 must be thinking of ways to add razzle dazzle to its own ballroom blitz show, Dancing with the Stars. Enter former Australian Idol product and drag queen diva Courtney Act. The gender bender professional has become the subject of a facebook campaign, with 356 members so far backing the theory that Act has got exactly what it takes to spruce up the next series.

Check this out. My good friend Linda gave me an eye shadow the other day called ‘Caught in the act Courtney’! So random. The range is called ‘Shady Lady’ which I found very fitting.

I sent an email to the manufacture and they have informed me ‘That eye shadow was named after a Courtney who used to work in our office’. What a funny coincidence!

21 Down is back and bigger than ever!! The hugely successful party for GLBT people and their friends aged 21 years and younger is back for its second outing this Mardi Gras season. Last years lineup included Cosima (Australian Idol), Iota (Hedwig, Berlin and the Rocky Horror Show) and Shauna Jensen (Australia’s leading gay house diva). There were speeches by community icons like Australian High Court Justice Michael Kirby and 2-Day FM newsreader Geoff Fields.

The event is once again hosted by the wonderful, the gorgeous, the divine Courtney Act. In her second performance at 21 Down, hear an exclusive set from Mardi Gras DJ Sveta. This year’s line up is going to be massive so watch this space for further announcements. This a free event produced by ACON’s “Fun & Esteem” and “Ins and Outs” projects.

RSVP to youth@acon.org.au or call 02 9206 2077 before 5pm Thursday 7th Feb and you will be in the running to win the 21Down Exclusive VIP luxury package.

The winner of the 21Down Exclusive VIP Luxury Package will arrive at Slide in style, in a luxury limousine. They will then be greeted on the red carpet by some of our Special celebrity guests.
