Olivia Newton-John Comes Out for Mardi Gras

Sydney’s Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras always ends on a high, and this year’s 30th-anniversary party is no exception. This year’s special guest performer is none other than our very own Olivia Newton-John.

Livvy’s always relished her status as a gay icon, so it’s lovely to see her headlining this year’s event.

According to Same Same, fans can look forward to plenty of sexy back-up dancers and a crowd-pleasing song. My money’s on something old school like “Xanadu” or “Physical.” Whatever she plays, I’m sure it’ll be fabulous!

The Mardi Gras 30th Anniversary Party is at the Hordern Pavilion on March 1. Tickets are available for $150 from Ticketek. Sorry kids – this is an adults-only event!

Cyndi Lauper Heads to Mardi Gras

Sydney’s Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is famous for delivering some of the most fabulous entertainment in Australia, and next year’s festivities will be no exception. 80s pop icon Cyndi Lauper will headline the 30th anniversary celebrations.

I’m really excited about this one. After all, with hits like “Girls Just Want to have Fun,” “True Colours,” “Time After Time,” what’s not to love? Now I just have to convince my husband to embrace his inner diva and come with me.

No official dates are available just yet, but expect Miss Lauper to grace our shores in February. This of course gives me plenty of time to twist my husband’s arm.
