This is me at 62. sitting on a pony, sitting for extraordinary artist Lisa Reid of @artsprojectaust She's painting me for a special prize.

And I am wearing something I wore when I first started performing in Melbourne's nightclubs more than 30 years ago.

@poppykinglipstick Lust with a touch of Original Sin to bring me to now.

@poppykinglipstick sponsored Dance Palace and we raffled her Witch Princess to an adoring audience every single night.

Poppy gifted me an entire Seven Deadly Sins range, and I imagined how thrilled my young self would have been, being loved up by The Lipstick Queen.

I also pop a touch of Indolence under a cherry red for a little tawny effect.

Get onto Poppy, because we are all ages at all times, and we are here and she is here, and we should celebrate surviving and thriving together

This is a special shout out to the team that illuminated us all in Dance Palace with such splendour, made sure our mics were on, our music was pumping and our voices were heard with such wild vigour.

Liam and I have been working together creating magic, collaborating on lights, staging, sound and worldbuilding for a decade now. There is literally no one you would rather have in your corner. Hardworking creative, with a genuine respect for and passion for the art, for artists, and for the illumination of the world we strive to create.

We call him Mr Chandeliers, because he brings it and upscales it every time.
Thank you Liam. From Wuzhen to Bruthen. You are a star
