Pinkboard Sleaze Ball 98 Graffiti Wall
Sleaze is
This year's Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras' Sleaze Ball is weird.
That's the theme. Lots of us are queer, and many of us who are bent and there's
even a few who are strange, so weird should be easy. What better way is there
to celebrate our lesbian
and
gay
sexuality that to be easy.
And weird.
Pinkboard's infamous Graffiti Wall is back for another year to let
you be weird wired. So leave your weird comment, wired gossip or wonderful
costume ideas in the form at the bottom of this page. It will be automatically
added to the wall.

I'm happy with weird! I suppose it depends on how it translates on the night, and whether the shows are of a relevant nature, unlike last years performance by 'Burn Bitch, Burn' Arena - I still haven't worked out the connection between that and Atlantis. I am looking forward to the party, and have decided to take a completly different tact this year - no effort.
The bitch is back. - Tue Jul 21 1:28:14 1998
Horden is for girls only RHI boys only Dome for dykes and poofs and DCm for all the straight trash
GayandLesbian only - Tue Jul 21 11:12:19 1998
I looooooooove it.... great theme. SO many options which I can get away wearing a shirt with! hehehehehe
Scotty - Tue Jul 21 15:56:05 1998
must have taken MG management days and lots of free drinks to decide on this years theme. are there any alternative parties yet?
Tue Jul 21 23:12:18 1998
this year Im going to tell all straights to f**K off from our party
gayonly - Tue Jul 21 23:52:28 1998
Straights are not welcome to our gay and lesbian sleaze ball, they have never been and will never be welcome to our nights.
100%gay - Wed Jul 22 14:12:18 1998
lets all have a great Sleaze this year, make it the Sleaziest!! ever and totally gay, so give all those hets attitude and tell security that they are hasseling gays. Make them feel unwelcome as this is our party and our night
gaymale - Wed Jul 22 15:21:08 1998
Oh let's get over the straight thing. They're here to stay. Just get in their faces and scare them off. In the meantime, let's talk about how much control a certain legal type person has over the parties and who the DJs and international acts will be …
Suspicious Minds - Wed Jul 22 19:29:26 1998
Would'nt it be "weird" without him...And for the better!
RC cola - Thu Jul 23 9:58:55 1998
The straights are here at our parties 'cause mgmt allow them to come in - money is money to them. So lets change the management and piss of all those straight trash that do nothing for our community except ruin our parties. Did you see any at any of the ralleis this year?
100%gay - Thu Jul 23 13:10:58 1998
This legal type person is only around because he doesn't have a life outside of all the committees hes on, poor soul. Who cares about the DJS all us gays and dykes are going to have a great time at sleaze pissing on the straights
Thu Jul 23 13:30:15 1998
What is is with all the straight hating? What ghetto do some of you isolate yourselves in? If straights come to our parties to enjoy and celebrate with us, if they identify as queer, what is the problem? While I accept that the ratio of straights was getting bit too much a few years ago, I don't see any problem with it now. And I care greatly about the DJs and hope that we get some good hard house and trance for a change.
Nat - Thu Jul 23 13:40:40 1998
Hard house and trance? What do you call the music in the Dome and usually the Hordern. Or are you insisting that we should have to put up with that dreary shit in the RHI? Remember when the parties were fun and we didn't fight over what type of dance music was played, and when it wasn't uncool to like vocals with it?
Hands in the air - Thu Jul 23 15:20:50 1998
Nat: The problem is the straights who don't identify as part of the community and come either because they want to play tourist, or because they know our parties are the best. It isn't all their fault either. It is the fault of the community members who sell them the tickets and the community members who sign their membership applications. It is up to us members to make sure only the right people are allowed to attend.
Panther - Thu Jul 23 20:21:13 1998
It is the fault of the community...not any Individual.

Thankfully we don't all have a green thumb, but all of us can sow seeds for a better future.
correct me if I am wrong... - Sat Jul 25 8:23:23 1998
where is all the sleaze in townsville - this married bi-guy is chomping at the bit - to be harnessed, cuffed, studded etc, but doesnt seem to be able to find any like minded individuals, is there a place i can go. Townsville needs a hellfire club, Im sure there are some other hot bodied guys who just really want to be bound and abused, isnt there ?
sticks'n'stones may break my bones - but whips and chains excite me - Mon Jul 27 10:59:58 1998
what will I wear to Sleaze this year?
shorts and boots like every other fag??
weirdedout - Mon Jul 27 11:08:57 1998
$40 a ticket for a person on a pension of $200 a week, thanks MG for making it even harder to enjoy what life i have left.

Anyone fancy seeing a Eurovision contest winner this year?
Get those rumours in - Mon Jul 27 13:28:17 1998
Would'nt that create interest "Internationally"
some rumours do come true - Mon Jul 27 17:35:53 1998
I heard that "VERA" the homeless lady from the street going to sing at sleaze this year, and she will be paid only a cask of wine while all the society fags will be drinking champers
Mon Jul 27 21:48:38 1998
Getting Vera to perform at Sleaze would definately be "weird". And no stupid, the music in Dome and the Horden is very rarely hard house and trance. Like most handbag queens your knowledge of any dance music that isn't heard at the Shift or sung by Kylie is probably zero. Death to handbag!!!
Nat - Mon Jul 27 23:31:07 1998
Bitch! bitch! bitch! All I hear is “It’s ours this and it’s ours that”.
Go ahead, become what you have fought so long against. (Discrimination)
I’ve been performing and organizing shows in the interest of the gay community for the past 17 years. I am as hetro as they come. Would you be able to pick it? Respect is the name of the game. Can you in return?
Forward, not backward - Tue Jul 28 1:05:38 1998
I thought the name was Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras not Sydney Gay and lesbian and hetero Mardi Gras. When I can kiss my lover in a straight bar without fear then that will be the day you heteros will be welcome to our party.
100%gay - Tue Jul 28 11:48:05 1998
100%gay- Snap Out of IT!
Tue Jul 28 17:11:36 1998
Actually Nat I prefer house, garage and speed garage, and my knowledge of dance music probably extends back further than your birth. However I've never believed that DJs should be forced to play to one person's taste when there are 20,000 partygoers all with their own preferences. I wouldn't be caught dead in the Shift.
Stupid with hands in the air - Tue Jul 28 18:15:54 1998
I agree with 100%gay to an extent. When we don't have to fight for our rights, when we are totally accepted, when there is no difference between lesbian and gay and straight and bi and ... then there will be no need for "our" parties. Sleaze Ball is one of the very few times in the year when we can celebrate our sexuality. The rest of the year we are confronted by straight sexuality all the time. Is it really too much to ask for straights to respect Sleaze as our space for that one night of the year? There are some heterosexuals who are welcome at the party - the ones who really respect our space (not just say they do), the ones who are helping us celebrate our sexuality.
Panther - Tue Jul 28 19:53:36 1998
I'm going to go in clingy, shiny synthetic fibres with shorts that look like cut-off long underwear. A boa of chinky chunky jewellery around the neck. And I'll sprinkle myself with glittery bits that will rub off on everyone else. My whole outfit should cost - the measly sum of 150 clams. Would that be weird enough or just recent history.

How sad for you dear. Have you know self respect. Now, if you got them to suck you after their second E, you might have something to crow about …
Aretha Franklin - Wed Jul 29 0:44:46 1998
Unfortunatly Panther and all- I don't think true acceptance will be seen in our lifetime. But at least if we are pointing in the right direction some more goals will be achieved...
optimistically forward - Wed Jul 29 4:43:33 1998
If you got to suck their 2nd e that would be even better ...
Wed Jul 29 8:49:37 1998
I had a very bad expeince with the straight crowd last year - and i refuse to be tormented again - the should be more security in and around dance floors and near toilets - I was bitterly upset with sleaze ball last year and refuse to go again .....fix the security and i will considergoing again - in the meantime i'm organising an alternative...the theme sux!!

Dont have a ticket and not a member? Book a weeekend package and get a ticket free and no membership required and sexuality not even questioned???? No who said that straights can't come to our parties????
Thu Jul 30 12:19:35 1998
I really doubt that there's a problem with straights flocking to Mardi Gras parties from interstate or overseas. It's a local thing. On the other hand if the tickets get any more expensive it may start appealing to the awful European jet set — they might decide to skip Ibiza or St Tropez for Sydney. It's the international acts that are attracting this sort of attention (look at the New Weekly exclusives for a start — how did that happen?), so if we drop them in favour of just big MG type shows the interest will fall away.
Fri Jul 31 19:29:57 1998
I totally agree - $75 + membership fees is beyond the pale (and all the extras). To me my primary living expenses are firstly the rent, then the car, then maintaining a gay communal lifestyle (and I dont wear CK underwear or DKNY Tshirts). We've got to get back to smaller, better planned parties at a reasonable price. Why do the MG and Sleaze parties have to be so humungous anyway? A thousand people is plenty - but 16000 is too many for even the sleaziest philanderer. $75 bucks for a 30cm x 30cm spot on a slimy dance floor!
James - Fri Jul 31 22:54:56 1998
I take that back - the car is cheaper than the gay lifestyle.
James2 - Fri Jul 31 22:59:01 1998
Hey Stupid With Hands in the Air, what makes you think you know how old I am? And if DJs like Stephen Alkins and Buck Naked aren't playing garage and house when they play in the Dome, then I'd like to know what it is? As for speed garage - puh-lease! A new name for a tired old sound. But hey, I'm not advocation that we only hear hard house and trance, I just want to hear it in one of five venues. Surely when a party has the luxury of so many halls, they can accommodate different styles in easch. Dance music these days is so diverse, that to talk about the old days and just one style means you should probably think about an early night in bed with a nice warm cup of Horlicks.
Nat - Sat Aug 1 10:29:42 1998
I really find it incomprehensible how anyone can complain about an $8.60 hike in the price of a ticket. For most of the party animals I know the cost of a ticket is a minor irritation compared to the cost of the outfit and as for the stimulants! Well.
fruitbuns - Sun Aug 2 18:28:14 1998
James, the reason the parties have to be big is (a)Sound and (b)Light. In a large hall it is actually possible to hear undistorted low frequencies that you cannot perceive in any other environment. Ask any accoustics nut. Its not (just) the drugs that make it sound good. Similarly the spectacular lighting is simply impossible in small halls. Sure we could have a party in just one hall and achieve this but our community is bigger than just one style of music and entertainment and not many of us would go if we all had to listen to 2dayfm (lowestcommondenomenator havetopleaseeverybody) music all night. I personally think that straights come to our parties because they feel comfortable there. If we put a hard gay edge on our parties they will feel uncomfortable and run away. Lately our parties have been pockmarked with music that is better suited to commercial radio and the entainment has been at best thoughtless. An example of this is thoughtlessness was TinaArenas "Burn Baby Burn" at last years, (What was the theme again?) underwater sleaze. Another example was Mogadonnas self indulgent walkoff number after the closing show at MG.
fruitbuns - Sun Aug 2 18:47:54 1998
Mogadonna being self indulgent?! Get out!
Trudi - Sun Aug 2 22:13:02 1998
Yeah, actually that last 'show' was almost as appalling as the Believe in Dreams number at 6.00am. Fewer shows, fewer people, more time and room to dance please.
Mon Aug 3 1:21:59 1998
How many kick-backs are involved in such a "commercial" community organisation.
"us first please" - Mon Aug 3 1:50:13 1998
A Mardi Gras or Sleaze without Mogadonna - unimaginable
When flat mates are important - Mon Aug 3 11:20:00 1998
How about a MG or Sleaze with out a drag show, or even a show at all. More time to dance and not have to put up with the interuption
Mon Aug 3 14:03:26 1998
Are you mad? The shows are the punctuation marks in the party, at least for those who go top have fun rather than get all serious about the music in the k-holes.
Mon Aug 3 18:46:44 1998
A bunch of pathetic drags on stage miming to songs and doing a few dance steps,well that must take years of training to do.
Mon Aug 3 21:32:18 1998
*Gawd* everyone is so bitchy this year......I love it!!!! My comments...Mardi Gras was so packed out this year lets hope that the Sleaze Crowd is more intimate. Sraights at the party...I don't particulary care, they know MG and Sleaze are gay parties so just enjoy yourself and don't hide your pride!!!!

Jenny Tals - Tue Aug 4 0:57:32 1998
I think there's a bit more to most of the shows than a few pathetic drag queens, unless you mean the two shows referred to above at MG this year. I couldn't agree more, but by Christ I'd kill to live that Kylie show again (and remember more of it).
Tue Aug 4 2:12:49 1998
Dump the dreary drag and just have real performers who aren't has beens. Or sure, lets just have music non stop, all night long. Just what is so clever about a man in a frock miming a song anyway? Diva awards indeed. What a self indulgent wank!
Lance - Tue Aug 4 7:56:32 1998
I think the crowds in RHI at show time are getting to a size where they are dangerous. What if there is a medical emergency or some other accident. Even just the temperature with no easy exit is dangerous.
Panther - Tue Aug 4 8:48:40 1998
An accident - you mean like a wig slip?
Wondering - Tue Aug 4 13:58:34 1998
Fruitbuns, I don't know much about the technical applications of light and sound in large pavillions, but I do know the feeling of getting caught in a very uncomfortable crowd surge, split up from friends and wondering about aimlessly searching for those elements of costume that might help me recognise people I know in the dark. Yes I know people are going to quip that that's all the fun going off alone, but I at least want to do it when I feel like it and not after the first show at 12:30. There has to be a point when we say "this is all getting too big, too stuffy, too dangerous, to impersonal, whatever." How much bigger can the parties get? Have we hit the Guinness record for crowding so many people in one space yet?
James - Wed Aug 5 2:29:54 1998
I just bought the best water pistol ever. I'l going to fill it with red dye and squirt it at all those himbos and their pathetic litle slags. Now that's a great way to tell who is gay or not!
100%gay - Wed Aug 5 13:14:30 1998
Hey Panther, I have experience with the crowds and an emergency.( MG this year ). Right at the start of the Kylie show my bf decided it was all too much and needed to A. Pass out B. Throw up C. All of the above. ( The answer is C. ) I thought I was going to have to carry him off the dance floor to First Aid. I can report that even though the crowd was jam packed, all of our brothers and sisters made way for us to get out quickly with many offering to help. We were off the dance floor in only a few minutes. Thanks to everyone !
P.S. the bf survived.
Ric. - Wed Aug 5 17:32:25 1998

Mardi Gras has made a decision ! Exactly WHO is speaking for them "on our behalf"?
Not another wide mouthed lawyer. - Thu Aug 6 22:40:18 1998
I find it hard to believe Mardi Gras has made such a decision. Where and when was this announced?
Sounds Unlikely - Fri Aug 7 4:24:00 1998
Don't you all go to the same bars and clubs as MG management? Thats the only places where anything is announced and the only question answered there is " who's going to the bar for the next round?"
RHI boy only, Horden girl only, Dome gay/dyke
Yahooo - Fri Aug 7 12:18:07 1998
Yes, i heard that too, but its not going to be announced officially until the Friday before Sleaze
Wowoooo - Fri Aug 7 12:30:09 1998
Yeah, well I heard Madonna is one of the international acts. The others are Janet Jackson, Abba, Diana Ross …
Sounds Unlikely - Fri Aug 7 15:07:03 1998
You are a sick individual
Fri Aug 7 20:02:33 1998
The real queer party is in May. But I hope that you keep the S in SB again this year with heaps of sex in the tourist's faces.
Sat Aug 8 4:57:04 1998
What. I'm sick because I've heard that Madonna, Janet, Abba and Diana are playing at Sleaze. Oh come on. Everyone on the planet knew Madonna was doing MG. Just because you missed her doesn't mean she wasn't there. Hell, someone who knows someone who knows someone did her hair for the party for Chtist sakes.
Sounds Very Unlikely - Sat Aug 8 6:18:39 1998
I just hope they throw those repetitive star shaped things away and put some real mirror balls in the RHI for a change.
fruitbuns - Sat Aug 8 15:43:16 1998
As for sorting out the crowd problem...If the MG board didn't keep spreading false rumors about megastar performers about the place then the crowds probably wouldn't try as hard to see the (non-existant) performers. Most of the rumors come directly from the Board or Party Committee so they have to accept some responsibility for the crush before the shows.
fruitbuns - Sat Aug 8 15:54:57 1998
I really don't think the Board can be blamed for the megastar rumours. After all, everyone and their dog saw Madonna in Sydney last Mardi Gras, from customs officers to hairdressers. They said so on Pinkboard. Strangely she was never noticed by the mainstream media — odd for one of the five most famous people in the world don't you think?
Sounds Unlikely - Sun Aug 9 0:17:54 1998
Is the theme weird or wired ??????
Sun Aug 9 8:28:24 1998
Werid.
Sun Aug 9 20:08:04 1998
Hey like come on, everyone lighten up a little bit, you cant please all of the people all of the time, but I think a little credit should be given where its deserved. The lighting is fantastic, Sydney has the best lighting equipment in the entire country, so nher melbournites. Also where else can you go to a "gay and lesbian" party that has so many venues, and i think its a real disappointment if the major halls are to be segregated (if that rumour is true). There will always be straights, so I don't know what going out of your way to hunt them down will achieve, apart from wrecking your own night. And as for the music, I personally love handbag house and vocals but its also nice to be able to change halls and listen to something different. So come on this is a time when the community should be together, looking out for one another and not bickering between themselves. :) take care, wave those hands in the air and make this party the best one ever :) (yes that may sound really positive, but its something to look forward too) Luv
daze - Sun Aug 9 20:40:44 1998
Wider?
Sun Aug 9 22:56:44 1998
I don't believe it's true about the segregation - they would have had to announce it before the tickets were sold. What about gay men with lesbian friends? What are they going to do - talk on mobile phones? My sister has been coming to sleaze for years - she's straight and she's cool. I think as well that a lot of young people exploring their sexuality come to the dance parties with straight friends. I don't think they would come alone - and so it's important that young people can come with whomever they feel comfortable.
James - Mon Aug 10 0:45:28 1998
Shoot me - I am buying a ticket for a straight female friend, she is very much a part of our community, attended both same sex relationship rallies the second one in pouring rain without an umbrella. She is a lot of fun and does more for the G & L community than many other of my more sceney friends. it is the undesirable straights that shld be kept away, ie the ones that display homophobic behaviour and dont really enjoy themselves
I agree in keeping our parties 90% gay but lets not exclude those 'special straights' that support us day in/ day out
Shoot Me - Mon Aug 10 11:08:21 1998
That's a good idea - why don't we just shoot anybody that we don't like on sight at the party. What a fun group we are.
Mon Aug 10 13:17:22 1998
Fine James, so she's straight and cool, but what about her five best friends and their boyfriends. What happens when they want to come along too after they here how cool it all is.
??? - Mon Aug 10 19:17:47 1998
What an interesting classification policy that would be if Mardia Gras assigned pavillions to gender. Justwhat would that mean to the music? The boys get lots of cheesy Celine Dion covers (remember the pre-Kylie Titanic), the girls would get lots of epic & progressive house, and all those straights that we love to hate would get hours of tribal house, dub and garage. Yes that would make a successful party - think I'll find me a handbag if that's the case.
Wondering - Mon Aug 10 20:55:05 1998
Hi youse all! It's me Gino! I am gunna go to Sleaze ball this year. I got these sick leather pants mate. I am not going to DCM and Byblos wif my mates Tony and Con. I am gunna take me girlfriend to Sleaze too. She has got long flicky hair when she dances it goes everywhere. Its mad mate!
Gino Latino - Tue Aug 11 0:51:30 1998
Dear Wondering, yes, that is a problem. But part of the problem was that MG decided to have only 2 DJs per hall. Warren Gluck's set was a good opener (yeah, that was the first time I'd heard Deja Vu doing 'My Heart' too) but he plays what the Yankee boys die for at their 'circuit parties', and we're *years* ahead of that. Steve Carley would have made a fine 3rd DJ, but they did need someone else to fill that harder, trancier void in the middle. As for you Gino, I think you should stop masquerading as some imaginary suburban straight we all love to hate and work on getting all your gay friends to buy tickets for other gay and lesbian friends. Perpetuating stereotypes ain't gonna change nothin', you (fake) wog boy.
Alex Dimitriades (fan) - Tue Aug 11 2:52:07 1998
Yo Gino, see ya there too, but when i look at ya, dont get all honophobic and bash the shit out of me, will ya???
Tue Aug 11 9:50:28 1998
It's like...deja vu...maybe that's the weird part of this year's Sleaze Ball - we've had all these arguements before. But for what it's worth here's a few thoughts: it's up to everyone once again to keep Sleaze as queer and Sleazy as possible; let's vote the Coca-cola MG Board out and give someone with new ideas a go - and support the MG organisation rather than knocking it; why not trial a "predominantly men's dance/show space" with gay male culture and sexuality and no tourists(even in a smaller, pre-fab hall) - just once more with feeling; there really doesn't need to be more than one big name "star" guest, and keep them Australian - having several stars is creating a dangerous and logistical nightmare with moshpits rather than dancefloors for hours (and I don't know anyone who goes to the parties for the "stars" - you don't even know for sure who they are until after you've bought a ticket!; it will be great to have a smaller party if it's true there isn't currently space for more than 14,000 people; there should be three DJs in each hall, playing a variety of music - we all need choice. On a really weird and paranoid note, the halls have no roofs at the moment because they've been removing the asbestos insulation (!)....and how many hours have we all spent in unbelievably hot/wet conditions under them? What are the symptoms of asbestosis anyway?
Fastlove - Tue Aug 11 17:36:22 1998
Probably not dissimilar from the symptoms resulting from endless years of substance abuse in the same halls.
Tue Aug 11 20:29:32 1998
Please! Spare me the emotional slice about Gino. How many Gino's do you really think come to sleaze ball? If people think that all straights are dangerous and homophobic and all gays are warm and fuzzy, the we all got a lot of living to do. No one can possibly think that straights who come back year after year to gay parties are getting "more" homophobic! And my sister HAS brought her straight male friends to sleaze and they've gone away more gay friendly. What's the real issue here?

I guess the issue is that heterosexual people, pleasant or otherwise, make up 95 percent of the population and occupy 99 percent of all spaces. On the other hand there seems to be a problem that we make up somewhere around 5 percent of the population and wouldn't mind being able to claim something as our own to share with others when and where we decide. Nearly all the straight members of Mardi Gras busy 'supporting' our parties but (in most cases, not all) not much else, lied about their sexual orientation in order to gain membership (unless you believe that they make up 1 percent of the members but still obtain 30 percent of the tickets to Sleaze at least). If straight people so desperately need these events, why can't they organise their own? Arte they so creatively challenged? But the real point is that this is a space we have created for ourselves and which we should be able to enjoy along with our *invited* guests, and not your sister's straight male friends, their girlfriends, their girlfriends' boyfriends etc ad infinitum. It;'s not about hating straights in most people's minds. Are we really so selfish in wanting to retain the identity and integrity of these events?
Wed Aug 12 1:43:08 1998
i am straight trash, but this to optimistically forward we straights, well lot of us do accept you guys, cause each and every breath you take in getting above the homophobic few is a journey that has its experiences good and bad but will come to an end an end to all this crap you guys have to live with, your community all over the globe has achieved so much in fact that your coming out like there's no tommorrow, that's the key to acceptance as a whole by everyone but enough serious chatter I hope all who go to sleaze 98 have a great one and hope to see more of you guys and gals holding hands around the streets of sydney you look gorgeous
queen bee - Wed Aug 12 12:30:44 1998
Is it definite that there are only 2 DJ's per hall and who are they - I don't think that that's a bad idea - but the DJ needs to be up to it, Steve Carley clearly wasn't at Mardi Gras - 6 hours of the same. In the Dome it works wonders, give Stephen Alkins or Buck Naked a chance and 6 hours flies by. So what is the policy and who are they - my comments were that I couldn't think of anything worse than a whole night of handbag to dance in a male only area. Maybe I do have to just give up hope of a solution and just wait for May once a year.
Wondering - Wed Aug 12 13:42:34 1998
Only 2 DJ? :[
Wed Aug 12 14:34:00 1998
May? Ah, yes, Inquisition. I only hope that Sleaze is at least half as good.
Thu Aug 13 6:09:19 1998
A whole night of handbag in a male only space - ah I think I may be in heaven !

Queen Bee you must breed like bees do and infect all other straights with your great attitude.
100%gay - Thu Aug 13 10:06:46 1998
Against popular opinion, I dont understand the need for a guys only space??? Women are wonderful, sure I dont sleep with them, but many of my closest friends are funky little dykes and they're essential to my party enjoyment, when I feel the need to be surrounded by testosterone I can always move to an area
( and there are plenty) where I will be surrounded by hot sweaty male torsos. I think that too many people just like to complain, stop blaming MG board/ straights/ women/ dj's , if you cant have a good time at sleaze or mardi gras then there is something seriously wrong with you. Stay home and bitch to each other over the phone. If you must come then try to enjoy yourself, try to smile and stop blaming your drugs.
No Complaints - Thu Aug 13 14:48:40 1998
well its daze again, i think it would be such a pity if the two big halls were lost, what ever happened to the kensington building? make that all male if they have too but really there are really so many more guys than girls at the parties do guys really need one??
Thu Aug 13 21:48:20 1998
Hey all you straight haters. F**k off. Im gay, faggot, queer, and proud of it. Love guys, gals, and freaks. And I have many a straight freind who love to party with me and my fag freinds. They are not hags, not wannabes, just good common fun folk like you and me. Hey you all want acceptance from the "het" world, well by not letting them into our functions and inner sanctioned world how ever will we gain the respect and acceptance from this very special group of society. So all you anti-het fags, perhaps you should stay home!
Note: I will miss Sleaze this year as I am overseas in Canada. But a special message to a very special person in Sydney. You know who you are Mr. MFR of an annoymous Northern Suburb. Think about me as you celebrate your gayness with our straight freinds. Always and forever. Another warm breeze sent your way.
Garrett - Fri Aug 14 2:15:32 1998
I just got back from the Gay Games in Amsterdam, and boy, I'll never complain about a Sydney dance party again. We sure know how to have a good time. At least it's only drag queens in Sydney that lip synch - generally our guest artists sing for themselves, right?
The Leather Party at COC the night before the Games started was pretty amazing (although the music was much better at Inquisition) - I recognised a couple of Sydney faces there. And as for the leather bars, well...but I didn't see anything in terms of parties that isn't done a whole lot better here in Sydney.
Dome queen - Fri Aug 14 9:17:11 1998
I just heard from Erskineville Palace that RHI is boy only, the Horden is girl only and the Dome will be mixed, but it is only going to announced in the press the week before. has anyone else heard this?
Fri Aug 14 13:05:44 1998
You will need to triple the security! All of my friends will go wherever they want at Sleeze.
Why pay full price for a third ? - Fri Aug 14 14:12:33 1998
Garrett - If you are so happy partying with your straight mates why don't you spend the night of Sleaze at one of their venues, your pick I'm not going to tell you which one. Oh sorry, yeah I'm sure where ever you go want have anywhere near as spectacular lighting display, nor will the music lift you up and make you feel quiet as good. And maybe since you'll be dancing with a lot of het boys and het girls you want have as nice a time because no one other than your friends will talk to you because you're a freak. And you won't actually feel as though you are celebrating your sexuality and more importantly enjoying it because the people surrounding you have no idea what it means to do so. If then you and your boyfriend - that's if you have one - have a great time let us all know. Then the following weekend we'll all decend upon it and take it over and make all those Hets feel uncomfortable and squimish just by doing simple things like showing affection, holding hands and maybe even kissing each other, and we may even do it every weekend just like those het friends of your get to do every weekend, unlike us poor Faggots who only get to have a really fantastic night out, where we own it, a couple of times a year. Let us know how you go!
I know beautiful straight people exist, this is not where they belong! - Fri Aug 14 17:25:26 1998
I need to get this off my male chest...I will be attending sleeze with my boyfriend and my best friend-a dyke and her girlfriend.I can assure you that we will not put up with ANY discrimination...We will venture into each and every hall...And yes we will say "Hello" to Everybody...

Guys, some of my best Dance party experiences are with the girls (be they str8 or gay). The whole energy of a DP is about inclusiveness, love, acceptance etc., etc. That really extends to all people and I am yet to see any evidence of homophobia at a queer DP event. I'm all for a boys only space if thats what people want, but I don't want to miss that specialness that comes from the girls. If people think that having a few str8s at our events will somehow inhibit us expressing our sexuality then they obviously haven't been to many queer dp's. Who said we had a monopoly on queer sexuality anyway?? There's plenty of goddamn freaks in the str8 community let me tell you...they give a whole new meaning to the word deviant. Viva la difference!!!

Yo Bev thats the only bit of honest news that you have spoken all year. pity its not really Beverly though!
100%gay - Mon Aug 17 12:17:58 1998
Thats right!i just checked with the construction company. they are five weeks behind schedule due to all the rain and the roofs will not be back in time. Homebush here we come. Do we get the train or bus Beverly???
100%gay - Mon Aug 17 12:19:49 1998
Why wasn't I told ?
Richard Cobden - Mon Aug 17 14:01:54 1998
So 100% gay, what's the name of the construction company? I'd like to find out for myself. Your story seems likely given all the rain, but a friend who works overlooking the Showground said he can see the roof finished on the Hordern from his office.
Sceptical dome queen - Mon Aug 17 20:36:14 1998
So Mardi Gras is responsible for the roofs on the pavilions now. Sheesh. If the party has to be moved because of renovations it's hardly the Board's fault. Stick to the real issues.
Mon Aug 17 22:07:53 1998
tell us...what are the real issues? our commmunity losing grip on itself? our members still dying? fraud rampant in MG? Dance parties overrun by straight trash? drugs not strong enough? members living and dying in poverty? you tell me
100%gay - Tue Aug 18 8:38:58 1998
Forget all this hate - just care about the little kiddies
Tue Aug 18 9:06:03 1998
Homebush could be Wild. Weird too! Anyone who hasn't been out there, and seen the facilities, shouldn't really comment. If it was a choice of having Sleaze in Homebush, or no Sleaze at all I know what I'd prefer. The 'New' Dome is amazing, and an entire dance party would easily fit into it, and it looks amazing too. I agree I don't want to have to go to Homebush, but I wouldn't discount it either. Remeber too that it wouldn't be like on the main street of Homebush, There's nothing surrounding the venue for miles - we could have the music as loud as we liked. It also has great outdoor areas to chill in, unlike the Showgrounds where they even stopped us from resting on the only bit of grass left, and you find yourself sitting on gravel or concrete, since there is nowhere to sit. I just hope that if we are still going to be at the 'old' Showgrounds that they have fixed up all the plumbing problems that plauged Hand in Hand so seriously.
Happy to try the adventure of Homebush Bay! - Tue Aug 18 12:27:28 1998
100%gay- Now would be an ideal time for constructive thought within the community.
Tue Aug 18 13:14:33 1998
I know that Homebush is further than most of you city queens travel for your annual holidays - however, believe it or not the world does not end at Newtown ! The site is brand new with lots of seating areas and fabulous pavilions. As far as I am aware there is no residential area close by, so that this could save MG tens of thousands in sound insulation costs. There is a car park ( 10,000 cars ? ), train station and bus depot on site. Personally I think the the showgrounds will be ready in time, but if not, let's show Homebush the meaning of the word "Weird".
Parramatta Queen - Tue Aug 18 13:25:24 1998
It will be a lot more convenient for those lovely Westie chicks and their drop dead gorgeous flannie shirted blokes too, so don't wear anything too flash. You woulddn't want to be thought a trendy would you?
Tue Aug 18 13:33:12 1998
Congratulations to the half wit who lodged the last comment, we can safely assume that you are as racist as you are discriminatory - and you provably will be voting One Nation ? A trip out west would be an education for you.

All i want is aparty where i can f*ck my lover in the middle of the dance floor and not have some bimbo's closeted himbo staring at my cock as it rams into my lovers tight arse. oh and of course more drugs. Now how's that for a change of policy???
100%gay - Wed Aug 19 13:33:46 1998
Well I cant imagine any himbo staring at your cock, I have been to my share of parties and the guys that go for it on the dance floors (such as yourself) are not attractive guys. Anyone with an ounce of taste would turn their back to you and your depraved lover and get right back to dancing. Have hard enough time manouvering around empty water bottles, dont want to worry about your dirty discharges.
No Sex on the dance floor - Wed Aug 19 15:05:33 1998
Yes, wouldn't it be nice if just 10 percent more punters put their water bottles in the bins provided. It would then be possible to finally find a few square millimetres in which to dance once the crowd thins out at 8am.
Completley over it all - Wed Aug 19 15:31:14 1998
hi there, i will be there in my short denim shorts, boots and body glitter paint!! Wow its gonna be great, so lets make it a big one and a wierd one. See you all there, cum up to me and say hi.

Gee, looks like those 'in the know' because they'd been talking to staff and board members were wrong again! So, what does this mean — cyclone fencing between gender segregated zones? The straight boys could poke their willies between the wire and have them sucked while their Barbies look on! Steve Carley : (
Thu Aug 20 17:11:58 1998
Dear 100%Gay, I rather dance with straights than perverted freaks that have sex on dance floors. Just becuase you are gay does not mean the rest of us queens have to accept that sort that sort of behaviour.
You make me sick! - Fri Aug 21 1:57:33 1998
Who are these DJ's in the Dome? What will they play - and when will Steve Carley be given a rest. Interesting that DJ's with the credentials of Steve Sonius are in the gender specific areas. Also if the gender specific areas are 1000 people only, what else is there in the Hordern? There must be a pit in the middle with the other 4000 - will it be like a mosh pit?
Wondering - Fri Aug 21 10:53:00 1998
Lighten up you pathetic queens, as if i would ever have sex on the dance floor, i'm too busy having too much fun dancing to even worry about you lot. How the f*uck do you think anyone can have good sex on those packed dance floors anyway?Why don't you all get a personality so that we all can have fun?? Take another e before your face has a permanent frown.

3 parties happening at the same time in the same pavilion with the same music. Could be interesting? Anyhow I'll be in the RHI all night.
Playing it safe - Fri Aug 21 18:20:45 1998
now that my medication has calmed me down i can respond to those closeted fags who want me to repress my sexuallity at our parties. Parties that are for the celebration of our sexuality, so do you wish me to celebrate in that toilet with all those other guys, the stink the piss and the shit.Some celelbration that would be. And by the way if I did f*uck it would be in private and not on the dance floor. I go to parties to celebrate and have fun, i can have sex anyother time anyway.
100%gay - Sat Aug 22 15:32:50 1998
Call me parochial, but I just can't stay away from those handbag toons! Who and where will they be playing them?? There's something about hearing your favourite songs in such a huge venue on such an amazing sound system that just blows my mind. I know its my queer obligation to be cutting edge, and exploring new music but if I don't hear the following at some point during the night there's going to be a slightly disappointed boy (DJ's take note!):
The God of House (central seven)
Aquarius (dastrix)
Planet Love (DJ quicksilver)
I feel divine (SJ)
Love Shine a light (Katrina and the Waves)
Every day of my life (can't remember who does this one :)
Perfect Day (can't remember this one either) &
Show me heaven (chimira) (an oldy but a goody) oh and finally
that fantastic version of Shine on you crazy Diamond off last year's sleaze CD (at about 3:00am) + any other music in a similar vein to the above.
Please, please pretty please!!!
(any expressions of support for any of these tracks would be greatly appreciated!)

I'm with you on the music front. Handbag house is what I need to hear. By the way, that version of "2001 A space Oddysey" at Mardi Gras or was it Sleaze 97?" was sensational.

Brisbane is one big mall anyway - Mon Aug 24 9:42:44 1998
The thing that is really getting on my goat at the moment is that MG have failed to generate any excitment about the upcomming party. All they've managed to do so far is generate a lot of angst and emotion, which unfortunately is all linked to the AGM. I'll be glad that once this forsaken AGM is over, and we can all get on with our lives, and get a little bit enthusiastic about this Party that we all seem to be emotional about. Where are all the stories, the gossip, although the 'International' act seems locked in, has anyone also heard the rumour that the other big show at the party is going to be a complete send up of 'Rocky Horror'! The Muzak Nazi's can dictate all they want, but ultimately they will be ignored. Has anyone got a digital camera that they could zoom in on the Hordern and RHI, so we could have a 'Watch-the-roof-go-back-on-in-time-for-Sleaze-CAM', which we could update daily, and in the weekleading upto the party, update hourly! Has anyone got any ideas what a return ticket to Homebush on the train costs?
Let's get a little bit enthusiastic about this thing! - Mon Aug 24 10:05:22 1998
Couldn't agree more. Less than six weeks to go and only one rumour.
Excitement please! - Mon Aug 24 10:47:22 1998
Get it perspective guys. Sleaze is purely a fundraising event for the Mardi Gras infrastructure - no more, no less. This year's AGM could hopefully represent a watershed event and in the long term scheme of things be a far more important event than the October party. I hope that the likes of Ho and Hua get on the Board and help bring about some fundamental change. Even the new status quo (D McL) ticket is looking more interesting. I truly hope there is an amazing turn out this Saturday and I'm sure it will be standing room only. People I know who would normally not be seen dead at an AGM are going - if only to listen to the debate.
Let the partying begin after Saturday night - Mon Aug 24 12:50:55 1998

Mon Aug 24 14:16:25 1998
Don't look for any white boots honey 'cause you aren't going to find any...funny as it may seem a lot of queers other than those from Brisbane seem to like handbag house. If you want to bump and grind with the raptors in the dome to those cutting edge beats (no pun intended) then be my guest...just don't start wingeing about music that's a little more upbeat in the RHI! Some of us go to dance parties to feel lifted up not ground down.
Sleepless in Brisvegas - Mon Aug 24 17:23:47 1998
True. But Brisbane is still one big mall.
Mon Aug 24 23:05:25 1998
Whats everyone wearing???
still deciding - Tue Aug 25 8:46:09 1998
I decided what I was going to wear after last years Sleaze. The only contributing factor is the Seaze element. I figure I can wear what I like, and still do a Weird Sleaze. I know it aint going to win any awards, but hey, I'm not into awards, I want fun, and sleaze. Go for comfort too.... it's a long night. Hmmmm, maybe some knee pads too.
Old Look. New Look. Who cares! - Tue Aug 25 8:53:45 1998
Stop press: If the roofs are not in place in time for the party preparations, Slease will be postponed for one month. At the moment this will occur if there are a further 8 days of construction abeyance due to rain. The reason there is no poster is the date hasn't been finalised!
Wed Aug 26 9:10:28 1998
Check out the window of Dotti in the Pitt St Mall. They're so desperate for poster to come out so they can do they're window display they've decided to re-hash last years theme. Unfortunately this years window is better that last years. Perhaps they've employed someone from MG who is underemployed, waiting to do bump in for Sleaze.
Wed Aug 26 9:34:32 1998
The date of Sleaze cannot be changed. What about the overseas and interstate tourists who have booked air fares and accommodation. But then again it was easy to change the AGM date. Also I hear that it's the 1984 potser with the dates crossed out and changed with a felt pen.

I'm going to be wearing my hair down so I can flick it in everyones face all night on the dance floor. And aslo shaving my bady hair two days before the party so that whenever I rub against anyone, it will feel like a cactus to them.oh, and I'm also going to be pushy and rude to everyone as well.

No I haven't forgotten my handbag, he's comming too. He's the one who got the tickets for us from his gay mates at the gym. And we only had to pay $150 each, which we were told was a really reasonable price since the party has already sold out!
Straight gash - Wed Aug 26 22:06:35 1998
Now I'm worried. Is it true that the whole showground is a moonscape of construction and cement and that one of the pavillions has been torn down? What if we really do have to go to Homebush? I'm not walking to no recovery party from homebush dressed like a tarted up lava lamp! I'll get heat stroke walking across the hockey field. This is really serious! Smaller things have brought down governments. Who knows the truth? Let there be light!
James - Wed Aug 26 22:17:38 1998
PS - My straight trash sister IS coming with her straight trash boyfriend. We're all going to Stella's greek goddess salon to get that flicky flicky hairdo just so we can pinpoint those bitter queens and go over and flick them while they're dancing with their cool buddies. And then we're gonna go around pointing and giggling because hey - we paid a lot of money to point and giggle. Yeah - It's fun living up to the assanine stereotypes of mindless queens.
James - Wed Aug 26 22:30:52 1998

Not the f***ing Olivia Newton John rumour again. That's been circulating for 20 years already. They even did a send up of it at the Pride party in Perth a few years back. Enough. Get over it. Even Mardi Gras are not *that* weird.

But let's face it an hour of that is (maybe) even better than 8 hours of mindless Eurotrash in the RHI.
Flicky flick lover - Fri Aug 28 9:25:11 1998
Can't they arrange an oriental, Middle Eastern or Egyptian theme? It would be quite erotic and exotic.
Male slaves with excellent bodies, glamour, eye liners, the music would be excellent. What do you think?

Asking too much - Fri Aug 28 11:40:00 1998
Bring back the posters of four and five years ago. Remeber when Sleaze was advertised as Sleaze, and being in the RHI was like the Nurenberg Rally - Absolutely Wild! Even Cyber Sleaze gave you a feeling for what this party is supposed to be about. I think that there are too many people trying no to offend too many other peoples sensibilities. Lets cut the kitch and give us back raw 'edge'. This years poster doesn't even portray sleaze, unless those two 'males' really are supposed to be fisting. The two 'males' towrds the top are barely titalating each other. Although I don't care either way but there is an interesting lack of female eroticism in the poster too, funny considering it was a female artist!

Just heard from my friend at qantas,,but Madonna is booked to come over for the weekend of Sleaze, and she's bringing that little scag too.
Fri Aug 28 12:31:30 1998
Squeal, I can't wait until someone spots her at the ritz or does her hair and tells all their friends. Then we'll know for certain Madonna's coming, just like we did at Mardi gras. Squal again.
Dumbarse Illbelieveanthing - Fri Aug 28 17:35:34 1998
Weird...how weird can we all get? Get out those imaginative brain cells of ours (shouldnt be hard) and wear those gorgeous weird gladrags - image ourselves on the night and what statement you want to make and put the pen to paper. Get out the sewing machine and tour the fabric stores. Party hard the weirdest way. Sleaze 98 here I come! Look out for me!
Fri Aug 28 21:57:33 1998
Do you think it's true that Rolf Harris is going to make a big comeback at sleaze?
Just wondering. - Sat Aug 29 19:48:16 1998
Well I saw Madonna at Mardi Gras. And Jesus and Buddha for that matter. Next time I'm going to see Elvis.
Resolute - Sat Aug 29 19:52:12 1998
You may scoff, but Madonna *was* there. If the rest of you queens hadn't been so off your faces at 2.00am you'd have realised it was her and not Dannii!
Sat Aug 29 20:16:06 1998
Yes, that's the one, the 2001 mix -gotta have hope. With my prescription hitting optimum when thst came on, I think I just about came on the spot. You know, music like that sends a boy into orbit!
Thanx for the name, my memory was not serving me well during the night.
I'm getting really excited and it is still a month away. Forget the negative rumours, just concentrate on the sheer joy of the experience. Now, back to the weird theme. What shall I wear??????
Mark - and sorry I'm straight guys n gals - Sat Aug 29 20:23:41 1998
Im a shingle mum wif a daughter and I am coming to Sleaze wif my best friends Leanne, Tracey and Sharon. We are gunna call ourselves the Flickety Hair Hair Girls. Stand too close to my hair when I am dancing and you 'll get concussion.
Julie from Mt Druitt - Sat Aug 29 20:52:40 1998
As a member of the str8 community, I understand the antagonism towards some of the hetro lads and their flicky flicky friends. I have always been against generalisations and I think that is one. I attend the parties with a group of about 11, 6 of which are gay, 2 lesbians and a straight friend & g/f ( no flicky hair). We have been a part of your community for years in areas of support ( both financially, vocally, in spirit and presence at events including those outside of parties). I went through a period of sexual "assessment" and came out with the notion that I was straight, though found more friends either in the the g+ l community or behind the ideals. I don't apologise for being who I am, but use Sleaze and MG as an opportunity to catch up with many G+L friends that I haven't seen for a while. I hope everyone has a great night, with no male hetro crap and apologise for those sub humans that go for whatever reason but this. Hey, I don't mind kissing someone happy MG or Sleaze despite their sexuality. I love handbag house and the friendships that come from these nights. I'm really looking forward to bumping into an old gay flatmatte. Jason., if you are here, please post as I 've moved several times and so have you, making communication impossible. My wife says hello and hope all has baan sorted out with your folks and the coming out bit.
Have a great night everyone and don't bitch too much ( a little bit doesn't hurt though) !

We've had a Federal election Mardi Gras and now a Federal election Sleaze.
That's weird - Sun Aug 30 12:02:34 1998
Can't wait to see each and every one of you in the most radiant frame of mind at sleaze! My mission is to smile at everyone (except some of the scarier leather boys who are just a bit hard core for me - there's always a certain element of the community who think a smile across the dance floor is an invitation to be ravished!) and send you all some of the amazing love and admiration I have for you all! My loving energies could light up the whole eastern seaboard on nights like sleaze!! I'll be dancing about three pillars from the front on the right hand side facing the stage in the RHI (with my gorgeous boyfriend). You'll know who I am so come and say hello (even if you don't who cares, it can't hurt). And please be friendly everyone...leave the attitude at the door!
Shiny, happy vanilla queer! - Sun Aug 30 18:18:19 1998
Mark, you old queen,when are you going to dump your girlfriend and just come out. Those nights I spent with you were fantastic when we used to live together. Don't hide your pride.

Anyone else heard the Spice Girls Rumour? Do you really need it?Why is anyone going to the party anyway? The Showgrounds are a fall-out zone. All the dirt has been compacted and it is like one big construction zone. There is no room for seating either! Forget it!

They were still tarring the courtyard outside the Horden on Friday afternoon before Mardi Gras. It should be habitable by Sleaze itself. I think it is still another year, though, before construction finishes.

To: Shoot Me. (see few above). Your straight female friend can have my ticket if she wants!!! I'm not against straights coming to our party if they have a valid reason to, like your friend has. If she attended both rallies (lots of gays and lesbians can take a lesson from her - she actually turned up - where was everyone else?) then she is more than welcome to come and celebrate diversity with us.
You let her know how much her from me how much her efforts are appreciated. The world needs more people like her, people who actually care!
Mon Aug 31 11:29:34 1998
Jason (clone),
Looking good in the purple & green ( which isn't easy). Dumping the g/friend is no problem as I don't have one ( for some reason my wife has a problem with that!)
See you on the dance floor, party yourself senseless and don't forget to smile. I'm still stuttering with ideas for an outfit. 5 weeks for a ray of light to arrive.

for all those wanting to escape ugly straights ,dome is always sleazy and queer....and the music is always very twisted and sick.......
sick fucca - Mon Aug 31 19:47:26 1998
Idea 1: -----> Why dont we all just celebrate our gay & lesbian community as follows.
1. Go to sleaze, it is our party, enjoy
2. If we are part of a couple (assuming you are a happy couple) then hold hands , kiss hold each other , whatever.
3. If we are single then lets all make a promise to approach at least three members of the same sex and have a snog, dance, chat, whatever, who knows if you all loosen up a little you might just meet someone special, it does happen.
I am not saying lets have an orgy, but if every gay person openly shows their sexuality they will scare away the unsupportive , undesirable straights and only those straights who love us and support us will remain with us at our parties.
Idea 2 . --->
Being Gay is not about being gay or lesbian, male or female, its not about dykes hating men and fags hating women, its not about us all hating straights, breeders, heterosexuals.
but
It is about being attracted to the same sex, being comfortable with it and not denying who you are, being true to your nature. Gender specific areas are fine for those who feel they need them, but there is a huge crop ( of which I am a part) who are entirely at ease with who they are, what they are attracted to and dont need to be caged in or labeled. Let us party with each other man & man with woman & woman, fags and dykes united celebrating the diversity of our community.
Idea 3 ---> We are not as opressed as we once were thanks to those who marched before us, show a bit of respect for older gays and lesbians, they havent had it as easy as us. Age is just a number - 'a numerical label' which should be left behind on sleaze night,

Ryan,
that is probably the most sensible thing I have read today (apart from a mail message which thought the best way to decide on a leader of our nation on the day of sleaze is to put them both in dancing shorts in a go go cage for an hour and see who has the stamina).
Have a great night by keeping to your word.

Mark -and I'm ......... - Wed Sep 2 18:47:48 1998
Well, thats confirmed it. I don't want to be at a party with the bitchy people who have left comments here. You can't hand-pick the crowd. I had more hassle's with queers than straights at MG. And I agree that samer parties are much better.
Thu Sep 3 10:18:03 1998

Hmmm for those of you so despondent about this years sleaze, can't you just remember back to when you last looked out across the sea of people in the RHI, or Horden and just felt amazed at how many ppl there were dancing and having a good time, :)
daze - Thu Sep 3 15:04:49 1998
True daze, but all I can remember from Mardi Gras was looking across a sea of people and wishing there were a few square millimetres in which to actually dance, of even rock gently back and forth. Couldn't we have more dancefloor and less stage this timke. I mean, it's not as if the stage should have to take up one third of the dancefloor just to provide a vvvvvvvvvvvip (I tried putting this in caps, but was rejected for shouting - bloody cheek) room for straight supermodels and photographers from tragic women's magazines.
Thu Sep 3 16:40:04 1998
Daze,
I'm amazed by that twice a year, once around March and the other in October. I'm looking forward to being amazed again in a few weeks. Mardi Gras '98 was a bit of a squeeze, but that is to be expected on such a special anniversary. The look of all those people having such a fantastic time and celebrating together together far outweighed the masses for me.

Death to handbag! Trance and hard house rule - its just a shame the party committee is stacked with handbag loving gays and lesbians selected by the queen of handbag Gary Leeson. The only reason I'll go to Sleaze is to support the MG festival and parade. It sure isn't because I think the music will be any good (Steve Sonious aside).

Ditto that Mark! I'm always happy to meet people who just get of on the whole 'together' vibe at these events. When I'm looking at all those beautiful people having the best time it gives me the most incredible feeling...there's nothing like it. Last year at MG my bf lifted me up on his shoulders at one stage (not during a show!) and it was absolutely incredible. You feel like there's just a sea of incredibly positive energy and all of a sudden you feel like you're bathed in it, that its focused right through you. We usually dance on the RHS of the RHI about 3 pillars from the front (facing the stage). And by the way, I love dancing with the girls so bring em on in I say. And Monica and your friend who's name eludes me if your at sleaze i'd love to dance with you guys all night!!

I goddamn hate that poster
Got it off off chest - Mon Sep 7 10:58:25 1998
At last thisboard seem to be working.
I'm starting to get the jitters. I was jumping up and down last night with excitment. What excites me is the thought of being there amongst those thousands of beautiful, friendly people. I'm never surrounded by 'ugly' people as they usually can't cope with my 'style'. I like to be in everyones face, and show off, and people who can't deal with a big poof doing that in front of them usually move on quick smart. I'm really looking forward to Luke LEals set in the RHI. I'm only sorry that I'll have to for go some of the Sonious set in the Hordern. I had the time of my life in the Hordern at MG, being lifted up till I was part of the mirror ball - this might sound like the drugs, but I was in the mirror ball. My outfit is decided on, I've just got to sew a seam and it will be done, knowing me thou I'll probably do it an hour before the party.
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it. I'm about to lose control, and I think I like it! - Mon Sep 7 11:05:54 1998
The poster is stupid! Weird - it has no context.

Help!! Is it true all the tickets for sleaze have sold out???
I'm still waiting for renewal of my associate membership before I can even think about buying tickets! Things move slowly in that MG office methinks...and in the meantime I may have missed out on getting a ticket!!! Is there anyone in the vicinity of Brisbane who wants to offload a ticket???
Sleepless in Brisvegas - Tue Sep 8 8:13:26 1998
I haven't heard it mentioned anywhere. Last year they sold out on the day. They have said tickets are selling on par with last year.
Panther - Tue Sep 8 8:58:06 1998
Sold out on the day! Just think for yourself. Was Sleaze as big as a Mardi Gras party? No! So it didn't sell out on the day. Sounds like the MG spin doctor at work.
Tue Sep 8 9:32:20 1998
tickets are only half sold out as of today, and the roof is still off the rhi, and what's this about having to dodge the cabs as you stumble across driver ave to get somewhere to sit down for a rest???

Does anyone out there have or know of spare tickets for the Frisky recovery party that's on at the Metro, Sleaze weekend?
Hopeful - Tue Sep 8 13:39:24 1998
What's wrong with the theme and poster is that *again* it fails to express the underlying theme for the party - *Sleaze*. Excuse me for just wanting to be made to feel a little bit erotic! I hardly think that B grade movie monsters are going to get me feeling the slightest bit sexy. As for the Rock Horror - a movie about a Tranny and a Muscle Mary - we hardly have to have a theme for there to be plenty of 'those' looks to be getting around.
Tue Sep 8 14:27:10 1998
I'll be there again in black shorts & boots minus the bf now though so someone come up to me & talk, dance. Sometimes I wonder why I have to take so much stuff before I can get the courage to talk to strangers, only to find they're waiting for their flicky chicky gf to come back from the bar. Shows are great but they shouldn't be the whole point of the party. We're there to have a good time, express ourselves, sweat & party hard. It would be good to have a bit of space on the dance floor & less rubbish on the floor. Sex on the df is optional as long as you don't leave anything behind, others can always look somewhere else. Personally I like the idea of some gender specific areas, maybe that's politically incorrect but tough!

Well, the bf and I aren't going to Sleaze this year as he wont be arriving from o/s until the Saturday of the party - so we are going to have our own little party at home (;P)... but we will see you at recovery on Sunday night where we will be partying hard. To all those who complain about the music and shows (is it always the same people every year?) - find yourself a better dealer 'cause obviously your E's aren't working hun.

As to complaints about shows and music, I couldn't agree more with gonna get high on that one. With the correct prescription, everything's gonna be just fine!

The hottest ticket in town is definitely Frisky. Forget about making a tidy profit on Sleaze tickets - it won't go near to selling out. Aren't Mardi Gras so lucky that Frisky tickets are so limited. The only people who will go to Sleaze are those that couldn't get tickets to Frisky. I've got 10 spare Frisky tickets and I'm just gonna sit back and watch the asking price rise. I could retire on the proceeds. Also look out for the market in fake Frisky tickets.

Entrepreneurial queen - Wed Sep 9 11:51:48 1998
As an out-of-towner (used to live in NSW)a few thoughts on sleaze past and present. I guess its human nature to only remember the good things about the past. I really enjoyed the sleaze balls when they were sleazy. I don't mean that I go to the party just to have sex but sex on the dance floor or around the place is such a gay thing to do. Yes there were fewer "straights" around and I don't know why the bother with "our" parties ... can't they have good ones of their own? They don't bother me unless there are heaps of them ... like Pride New Year parties. Could we give the DJ's a go. they will never please everyone. If there was Handbag/Commercial house in Hordy, House/garage in RHI and trance etc in the Dome (like it generally is) wouldn't that please nearly everyone? If there is music that I don't like in a certain hall i go to another. simple really! I hope to enjoy this year's ball. A lot depends on the recreational pharmacists. Last MG everyone was off their dials but the E's were not of the "huggie" variety. Few people said "happy MG" and ver little touchy feelies on the dance floor. Bottom line ... If your medicine is good then so is the party. Vice versa.
P.S. Brisbane has a Sleaze ball in November. Hardly any straights go to Brisbane parties because we are undiscovered (or disliked?)
P.S.S. I hope that if Paul Mc Dermott goes he is less arrogant about his dance space.

Now is the winter of our discontentMade glorious summer by this sun of Dave;And all the boobs that lour'd upon our spouseIn the deep bosom of Erskineville buried.Now are our wigs bound with victorious wreaths;Our bruised arms hung up for monuments;Our stren alarums changed to vulgar bleatings;Our dreadful Murrays to delightful Davids.Grim visaged Bev hath smoothed her wrinkled front:And now - instead of heading hapless board To spite the chums of fearful Patsies - She capers nimbly in her Helen's chamberAfter sadistic teasing from my boot.But I, that did not run for boardroom tricks,Nor tried to court a sickened membership:I that an rudely camp, and want law's dignityTo carp about a questionable election victory;By writing letters of vindictive vulgarity.I, that am curtailed of sense of fair proportion,Cheated of one seat by Happy Ho voters,Deformed, unfinished, sent before my timeInto the halls of Yarralumla, scarce half made up,And that so plainly and unfashionableThat dogs bark at me, as I cruise by them;Why, I, in this bland third term of Leeson,Have no delight to pass away the time,Unless be not let into the ShiftAnd descant on mine own deformity;And therefore, since I can only help my loverTo entertain you poor unfortunate gays,I am determined to prove a villainAnd hate the innocent fun of Mardi Gras.Plots did I lay, inductions dangerous,By drunken prophecies, libels and dreamsTo set my brother Warwick and the kingIn deadly hate the one against the other;And if king David be as weak and pliableAs I am waspish, coarse and petulant,This day should Glazier be closely mew'd upAbout book keeping gaffes, which say that Me,The puppet master, real president should be.

What's all this crap on here about Frisky? Sounds to me like self promotion by the Frisky promoters. For you Frisky fans out there, watch the ever increasing ticket price. The promoters are making more and more with every party and not providing any more than they did with the first Metro party. Pure greed.

Frisky is a stunning party, the promoters have worked for and achieved a winning formula. They deserve to be well rewarded, and why shouldn't they? I for one am happy to pay the price for a guaranteed superb night.
NZ Frisky fan - Thu Sep 10 8:20:18 1998
As Rowan mentioned we do have a Sleaze ball in Brisbane. I just thought I'd add my own little plug for this particular event. It may not be the gala event that Sydney sleaze is...and yes, it may even be "a little bit country"...but without a doubt Brisbane dance parties are by far the friendliest and lowest attitude dance parties I have ever been too. As Rowan mentioned, the str8 contingent is minimal (even the steroid pumped himbos of Brisbane wouldn't be caught dead at a gay event)and most of the str8 girls there are so bizarre they actually add to the local colour. So if friendly,low attitude is your style come on up y'all to sunny brisvegas for our sleaze in Nov. (at least you won't have to worry about recovery tickets...the choice of venue up here is so limited that you have to organise your own!)

Can I please have an 'RHI-roof' update?
I don't mind dancing under the stars, it's the rain that would piss me off - Thu Sep 10 9:33:10 1998
Re the RHI roof update, even if the roof is on in time, what about the noise insulation. I don't want a repeat of three? years ago when MG had to turn the volume down at 3.00 a.m. Anyone know the situation ?

100% Gay, Well I do know of two straight friends who will be coming to the rally with me on the 22nd, and they in my opinion are most welcome to any gay event. But I see your point, I would like to see all the fag hags (quite an endearing term ) attending and ..... forgetting straights, it should be compulsory to attend if you want to attend sleaze.................................. There's a concept lets create an "equal rights for same sex couples " party, make it huge with sydneys supremo dj's and lighting operators, tickets on sale outside parliament house only on the night of the rally. Maybe then a more representative crowd would front at the next rally and then I am sure the pollies would be forced to listen , what with 15, 000 revellers blowing whistles, It would be monumental, all those who attend would become known as the "98ers" and would have their own special float in the 2038 mardi gra parade 1. Media coverage of the 15,000 at the rally, 2. Media coverage of the "Love Rights" party in aid of equality. How are the pollies going to listen to us when only 1,000 people front at the rally's.
Ryan - Thu Sep 10 11:40:27 1998
Sleepless in Brisvegas........ I went to the new years party at the whickam in Fortitude Valley, have to agree , crowd was friendly and predominantly gay was worth the trip from Syd and was a great way to see in the new year, dancing in the carpark during sunrise
Tourist - Thu Sep 10 11:45:36 1998
Frisky, sure great party, great promotion, but the $$$$ end up in the pockets of the straight promoters, its on every month , and lets be honest its not exactly an eye opener, just lots of nice cloned bods to look at in similar style pants. Lets not forget Sleaze Ball is a gay & lesbian community event run by G & L for G & L, its an Annual Event, Its a Costume Ball, a diverse celebration of alternative sexuality, Its a fundraiser for our festival, . Lets show a little support, Come on people ..... give me an S, give me an L, give me an E etc...... what does it spell ?????????????? S......L.......E........A........Z.........E................B....A.....L.....L

You people are on very strange drugs.
Sleaze 1998 is at the Showgrounds. The old Showgrounds - the Moore Park ones.

Whatever this loopy conspiracy shit is about Homebush, you're all going to look very silly (but you almost certainly do already!)

Frisky are negotiating to move their party on Sunday 4th to the Dome. They expect to be able to sell another 1200 tickets with only minor changes to scenery and lighting from Sleaze.
Fri Sep 11 10:36:16 1998
But it sounds like Frisky should be moving their recovery to Homebush - they could fill the entire Olympic stadium.

Among all the fantasies and lunacies on this page, there are two plain untruths that I would like to correct, this being my first visit to this year's Sleaze grafitti wall. First, the message bearing my name for 17 August was not sent by me. Secondly, neither Gary nor I have any booking for any Homebush motel at any time, past present or future. A booking for the night of October 3 would be a particularly extravangant waste of money, as we will as usual be working ourselves to the bone for a cause we believe in throughout that night at the Paddington Showground. But people will (a) make up and (b) believe any old rubbish. And to the person - actually, gutless low slime would be a better desrciption - who wrote the lame, unfunny, laboured and infantile Richard III send-up above (also in this week's Q): just remember that I sign, with my own name, everything I write. It's a pity you have neither the decency nor the courage to do the same.

Dont waste time with anything else -- they work --- they last 3-4 hours --- and appear to be readily available. The light show will not be the same ... heavenly halogen!

Oh P L E A S E - Sleaze Ball at Homebush - As If!
If anyone believes this for a minute then they should have their sleaze ticket revoked - god, could you really imagine 15000 queens travelling to Homebush...no. As for Frisky recovery - yeah, should be *great*. However, I'll be going to the Midnight Shift as I prefer a smaller crowd for my recovery, and I've never had a bad time at the Shift after a party (just make sure you're there nice and early otherwise you'll be waiting in line for hours... and besides, it's usually going off by 10PM!).
The Shift Recovery - Yay! - Fri Sep 11 19:28:57 1998
Actually, I meant laboured Richard. So sorry.
Fri Sep 11 19:44:03 1998
Why does Richard Cobden think Richard the Weird is directed at himself??? Also, does Richard "sign, with my own name, everything I write."????? I seem to remember an anon. hate e-mail called the_full_bronte that was floating about the ether before the Mardi Gras elections. Now Richard could not have been involved with that because he always signs everything he writes. P.S. I'm looking for a 23 year old Art Adviser. Can anyone help???

Why waste your time with Frisky? The tickets were snapped up so fast that it will be full of all the hetros that couldn't get into sleaze. I usually like Frisky but thought last time was too str8 and there were FAR too many flickys. It does however beg the question what were all these str8 boys doing at Bodyline?

Leeson is a disaster as Party Director, and after two years of demonstrating his total ignorance about dance music and dance parties in the late 90,s, it is time for him to go.

Anyone is allowed to say whatever they want to about me, by name, right or wrong (facts, not opinions), on this page, but if I reply I am self-important, have to leave Sydney etc etc, and if I persuade people to exercise their right to vote I stack a meeting.

You make some interesting points Richard, and some of the things said about you are stupid, but your self-importance and your vicious personal diatribes are beyond the pale. You bring it all upon yourself. Of course no-one would want to identify themselves for fear of being on the receiving end. If you're so right all the time, where are all your supporters?

Richard, thanks for visiting pinkboard. I don't know whether I misinterpreted your recent letter to SSO. Your comments re Murray McL were very clear. However it is the 'by the way' comments re Bev Lange's mediocrity as prez which have got me curious. Is it your conclusion that Bev was mediocre ? If so, can you please explain further.
MG fan - Tue Sep 15 7:56:31 1998
Oh no ! Don't ask Richard Cobden to explain something further. He needs no encouragement. Haven't you noticed how he has to say everything two and three times anyway.
Tue Sep 15 8:54:18 1998
Whisperer: I don't know the exact numbers, but I do know that three weeks ago they had sold 4,500 tickets, and I beleive the figure was somewhere around 8,000 last weekend. Anyone who would worry about the number of tickets sold, and whether or not they should go should consider this - If they do under sell the party then think of all that extra space we'll all have. It shan't effect this party as it is already in production. It might indicate to MG though that people have become disenfranchised with their party policy, and make them consider making changes to 'the formula' that they use. As Sleaze is the fundraiser for MG next year, it worries me that we may see a leaner festival and party next year. If you can afford it I am recommending everyone go to Sleaze. It's going to be a great party, no matter how big the crowd is.

Dear Rowan and Mark,I am still clueless as to what to wear and even though every year I get really enthused about 'expressing' myself inevitably I always seem to fall back on the usual "queer uniform" ensemble. BF and I usually go in some sort of complementary outfit (I know its tired and tacky but it saves one of us from looking that much more fabulous than the other). If you guys want to take this discussion off the board you can email me on brisvegas98@hotmail.com. I think the 'future' idea could work but I'm with you on the problems with "just what's weird these days??". Experience has taught me, however, that once your inside those gates and you've got that first E under your belt, Who Cares!!!
P.S Who's Richard Cobden????

I think that the thing that disturbs people the most about Sleaze Ball is the $78 ticket price. MG have got to stop relying on the parties to cover most of the organisations costs, and look at other ways to make money. Why should we who like going to the parties but don't participate in, say, the festival events, have to subsidise the festival which always seems to lose money. What if large dance parties just aren't popular with peopel anymore? What strategy, if any, does MG have to find other ways to raise the money needed to stage the festival, parade, etc. The feel I'm getting is that people are losing interest in Sleaze Ball, although i think that the MG party will always remain a sell out. I think that thjis is quite a serious issue that needs to be seriously considered.

I live in WA. I can only watch the gay parade on TV. I dont like the gay scene because The Plastic People make me cringe the way they behave. It just gives all gays a bad name & that we are all total arseholes & deserve the abuse we get from the rest of society.

Oh really Rkendle, so you are very much informed about gay and lesbian life by your television are you? Just like the Xtians who complain about paintings and films and books they have never seen or read. I suppose you also think Pauline Hanson has some great ideas. Get a f***ing life you sad and repressed queen.

Dress as 10, like in that movie. Hum the Bolero to yourself all night as you Ravel ... revel. People will think you are weird dancing out of step. Tell them you dance to a different drummer.

I resigned my M.G. membership after the live heterosexual acts on stage 3 years ago (boys & girls rubbing their crotches together). Isn't it about time M.G changed the name of the ball to Sydney Ball as there hasn't been anything Gay or Lesbian in the content of the shows for years - And as for misuse of the word Sleaze - that misnomer's got to go
Rowan's right the Brisbane Sleaze is sooooo much gayer - Wed Sep 16 1:03:40 1998

So, Pauline Hanson thinks her legs are great. Now that is weird. (or sad?)

Sleepless, I'll take up the e-mail offer tomorrow or Friday and see what we can come up with. Judging by the comments posted, Richard C may not be inundated with xmas cards this year.
Rowan, the future idea seems good.
Weird, well ...... get a good brown tan covering in clear plastic, wear a blue hat and come as a bottle of Sydney water. Make sure that you're on the boil for a minute before kissing though.
Damn, where's my creative side when I need it most!

Latest news about the RHI...still no roof and there are plans for a "rain day" in November.
Also there is no water for the toilets and they have to buy water so that there are flushing toilets. So where are all these portoloos going to be? and how many?and lets hope there are more than the usual dozen

Re Cobden & Co .... The moon is certainly in bitch this month!
Sleepless: email coming, give mine to "Mark and I'm ...", You didn't say anything about a BF! I'll be sharing the third pole with a couple and a straight man. How about a 4-way on the dance floor? oh well there is always the dome!
