“Out is In”
A weekend and two public holidays – what more can one ask for to make the 2007 Pink Loerie Mardi Gras the biggest and best ever. And it will happen from 26 April to 1 May 2007 right where it started 7 years ago and you are invited! For those who do not know – it is the first and only Mardi Gras on the African Continent and the biggest and most fabulous and most glamorous 5 day party in the country.
Some of the highlights for this year: The rest of the weekend we will see:
On the art scene – installation art by the fabulous internationally renowned boys from Magpie Designs in Barrydale, (lighting design), a photography exhibition by Yolande Kretzmer, the fabulous fine artist, Jaco Benade as official artist for 2007 and Rhodes University sculptor Zach Taljaart.
On the Party scene: Parties every night organized by the gorgeous ex Bronx (CT) boys, Martin and Kobus and parties for the ladies too and also another Gat Party. Then one of the highlights will be a two night Rocky Horror Dress up party – complete with cast etc. tickets already selling – and the party everybody is talking about – the Secret Society Meeting (the name says it all)
Then on the shows scene: Stefan Ludick in cabaret, the French Songbird, Daniele Pascal with her new show, Limani Blue-the drag show venue daily, a lunch time cabaret at Portland Manor, Rhodes University with two theatre productions, plus live entertainment at Harry B’s and other daily
And furthermore: there will be boat cruises, a cocktail route, wine and champagne tastings, gay “boere sport”, underwear and fashion show, gay literature exhibition, a nudist hike through the world famous Monkeyland. And for the lonely travelers and the single ones amongst us – beautiful boys to keep you (maybe even you and yours) company plus the inaugural Queen Street High Heel Half Mile and a Pink Charity Motorcycle Toy Run for Fun. Also a Pink Charity Golf Day at Simola, a pink paintball day at Portland Manor, Pink Bungy jump (216m) and much more…
And the bigger events:
The annual street parade, the after street parade party promises to be one of the parties next year, the very popular yearly woman’s event and the climax – the PINK party! There will also be the drag competition – the Birds of Paradise Competition and NEW this year will be the Mr. Mardi Gras SA 2007 Competition (both sponsored by Club Travel in Honeydew)
And the not to be missed – Freedom Day Celebration at the fabulous Birds of Eden – a day of music, song and dance PLUS 2007 will see hundreds of gay people “getting married”- two huge very up market weddings have already been planned over that period with guests from around the world. So with this in mind – we are planning a Las Vegas Style Wedding Chapel where you would be able to get married in 15 min. or less – with all the trimmings. We have been in undated with requests already and we will show the world that “gay marriages” are long over due. There are rumors that a very well-known (and I mean well-known) celebrity plans to attend this years festivities to celebrate the governments acceptance of gay marriages and that he might even get married himself – my lips are sealed.
Again 1000’s of people will come down to celebrate gay life – just life I suppose or just to be here again. – and you are a guest of honor – we are looking forward to seeing you down here. Make sure you book your accommodation early – it is a long weekend after all and it is Knysna.
