Heaps Gay Heaps Yummy was the first LGBTI event for Melbourne Music Week and it was as fabulous and fantastic as it could be. The line-up was a smorgasbord of sparkling LGBTI artists across eclectic genres, including rap, cabaret, psychedelia, and techno and dance mixes.



The glorious YUMMY CREW were on stage throughout the night, delighting, teasing, exciting us with their cabaret stylings. Yana Alana wows the crowd every time she's on stage, and I always delight in her magnificent presence. Benjamin Hancock is also a pleasure to see, with his sensual dancing and sandwich making skills.

The audience looked almost as fantastic as the performers. Tonight the fashions on the field had a seriously high calibre. My favourites included a rainbow coloured fur coat on one elegant figure and a knitted rainbow onesie on another.



The music and the bodies pumped all night, fuelled by the vibe (and maybe some drinks). And of course, there was glitter. The event had its very own face painter, who provided shimmering adornments, including glitter beards, moustaches, and any design you can imagine to put on your body.

To further stimulate the senses, visual artists contributed with large screen displays of bizarre figures thrown into suburbia. Or was suburbia the bizarre element?



Of course, it was a great party – it was in the sparkly hands of the Heaps Gay party crew, so it couldn't be otherwise. The venue, Queen's Hall in the State Library, was a glorious backdrop for the array of sounds and sights. The upper hall, lined with white columns, took on an other-worldly appearance with the colourful lights, shadows, sounds and moving bodies. The LGBTI community transformed this dusty, rarely used space, revealing and enhancing its grand old beauty by adding colour, music and life.
