K' Road's gayest venue Family bar will celebrate its third birthday next month with three nights of special events.
"Family is throwing a massive weekend-long birthday party that climaxes on Sunday with a non-stop, free evening of explosive entertainment starring all your favourite Family drag divas, DJs and performers," says the bar's camp-as hostess Miss Ribena.
Friday 5th and Saturday 6th September will feature special birthday shows on stage, but the main event is set to be Sunday 7th. Following an invitation-only function from 5-7pm, the stage will be well and truly shaken as Miss Ribena welcomes over 30 shows from divas including Buckwheat, Tess Tickle, Venus Mantrapp, Cindy of Samoa, The Divine Miss K, Kyra Panties, Tiffany Rose, Vudaur Cologne, Britlee Spearme, Miss Cherry Box, Miss Taro Patch, Slash & Burn, The Euro Chix, and many more.
"And throughout the night, Family residents DJ Starli, DJ Tenali and DJ Brazil will be spinning all the birthday favourites for the party-goers," Ribena reveals.
Saturday nights through September will also feature more heats for Mr. Gay Auckland 2008, as the popular contest has now been extended.
The Mr Gay Auckland Grand Final, starring twelve fit finalists and special guest judges, will now be held on Sunday 28 September from 7pm.
Worth over $2500, the 2008 Grand Prize includes a return flight to Mardi Gras on the Air New Zealand Pink Flight, a $500 clothing voucher for WORLDMAN collections, $500 worth of underwear by Macpherson Men, $500 worth of haircare from Playle Hairdressing and L'Oreal, plus dining and drag for two at Caluzzi to the value of $200, a case of pure 42Below vodka, and $500 cash, plus all heat winners and finalists receive the heady combination of a pair of sexy Macpherson Men underwear and a bottle of 42Below.
Contestants can register now with the bar staff at Family, by phoning Miss Ribena on 021 1704425, or by emailing mrgayauckland@gmail.com.
