Some Sleazy News....

New Mardi Gras today confirms one of the most reported rumours doing the circuit – the Rogue Traders will perform at Sleaze, Sinsuality, the biggest fundraiser for the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.
“The Rogue Traders will perform at Sleaze,” said Marcus Bourget, New Mardi (NMG) Chair. “I can also announce Melissa Tkautz will perform at Sleaze, which gives our sinners two of Australia’s hottest acts between 10 of Australia’s biggest DJs.”“Such talent in the one night shows New Mardi Gras really is known for producing the biggest, brashest and best gay and lesbian parties throughout the world.”

There will be 7 themed shows for 7 Sleazy Sins:
Show 1 – Sloth: Something new for Sleaze – make sure you arrive early. Stiltwalkers and a light display that will blow you away to an amazing Spanish inspired soundtrack. What’s the first? We can’t tell you but if its looks as though we still haven’t finished bump in when you arrive don’t be surprised!

Show 2 – Greed: Another first for Sleaze – a full-on production number in the Forecourt area. Minnie Cooper is choreographing a J-Lo / ghetto inspired number with more glamour and bling bling than a limousine full of drag queens on a Saturday night in downtown Oxford Street.

Show 3 – Vanity: Sleaze goes old school with a big community, big spectacle, big extravaganza number. With choreography by Amy Delves and a soundtrack that features a medley of current dance hits and old school favourites over 50 performers will entertain you with an 18th Century inspired production that will have more than a passing resemblance to this year’s awesome advertising campaign! Think massive.

Show 4 – Gluttony: A Sleaze show for the women. What can we say? Think sex, think corsets, think top hats and think food. It’ll all be going off in the LOTL Women’s Bar!

Show 5 – Wrath: - Opera meets Martial arts with Asian inspired theatrical spectacle which will leave people dead in their tracks. With a live vocal performance by a special guest and movement by Penny Gulliver.

Show 6 – Envy: Featuring a current chart sensation and an envious group of red carpet wanna-be’s who will be battling it out to get the attention of our very very special guest performer. Prepare for all out drag-queen war as you’ve never seen it before. Choreography is James Taylor.

Show 7 – Lust: A fitting end to a fantastic party – The Frocks and the Sydney Convicts will entertain you with their very special tribute to Lust. With Summer around the corner expect a beach party / Gidget inspired show with skimpy thongs and choreography by Virginia Ferris.

Sleaze ‘Sinsuality’ is to be held at the Hordern Pavilion and Royal of Industries on Saturday, 1 October 2005. Ten of Sydney’s finest DJs will keep the halls pumping and include DIVA DJ of the year Sveta, Feisty and Mandy Rollins back-2-back, Kate Monroe, Ruby, Chip, Greg Boladian, Luke Leal and Jake Kilby back-2-back and Dan Murphy.
