There were sequins, spills, and more
sequins at the drag industry’s night of
nights on Monday.
The 2012 DIVA Awards opened
with a scorching hot all-male dance
performance by some of Sydney’s well
known showboats, lead by dancer Rhys
Bobridge, before Candy Box took to the
stage as the event’s MC.
She was assisted by interstate drag
sensations Polly Filla and Philma Bochs,
from Melbourne, who handed out the
eagerly anticipated top titles.
This year’s awards were held at the
Entertainment Quarter inside Hoyts
Cinemas, in what was billed as a tribute to
Hollywoodglamour.
Boxdidnotdisappoint
with her cat-eyed quips, keeping the
audience entertained throughout the twohour show.
Big winners on the night included
Candy Box as Queen of Hearts, Minnie
Cooper for Entertainer
