Watch - or join - Brisbane's River Pride Parade this weekend

A flotilla of loud and proud vessels will fly the pride flag on the Brisbane River during the city’s new River Pride Parade this weekend, as part of the Melt festival.

The new event is on Saturday afternoon (November 9), during the last days of the queer arts and cultural festival.

Led by Queensland’s Dykes on Jetskis, followed by Melt ambassador and Queen of the River Courtney Act (above), boats of all shapes and sizes will join.

On Saturday afternoon, you can join a party boat, or if you don’t have your sea legs you can watch the parade from several vantage points.

Organisers suggest the South Bank Lagoon, the Howard Smith Wharves or New Farm Park between 3pm and 5pm.

A family-friendly Pride Picnic at River Quay Green (below) on Saturday will also give you a great view of the parade.

Speaking about the “truly unique” new event, Brisbane-bred Courtney Act said the parade is “a brilliant twist on a cherished favourite.”

“Just imagine the magic as we all come together to celebrate on the water, surrounded by the beauty of the city,” the drag superstar said.

“This is truly a unique and fabulous way to honour Pride and the stunning Brisbane River.

“As I lead the river parade, you can bet there’ll be plenty of SPF beneath my makeup!”

Melt Festival runs until November 10. Find out more about the River Pride Parade and Melt visit melt.org.au.

Zutara Week 2024 - Festive

This year I partnered up with the legendary @demaparbat-hp for this prompt response. Please check out her corresponding post and artwork! I am literally still so shaken by the incredible artwork that goes along with this story! No, seriously, this is absolutely incredible! Give her praise!

Y'all, this is the fluffiest thing I've ever written. Enjoy!

-------

Zuko decided to make the next Winter Solstice memorable after his and Katara's first one together lacked a certain magic.

On their first Winter Solstice together, Zuko shared a simple dinner with Katara in the Palace. Foods from her home mingled with spiced Fire Nation dishes, filling the table with a plethora of vibrant colors. He tried his best to find all of the best ingredients, and while she smiled, there was a vacancy in her eyes when she looked across the spread. Just the two of them. She assured him that she loved the thought and the food was exquisite. Perhaps too much so, he added in his head. It was made with perfection, not love. The kitchens were incapable of adding that ingredient. He knew what was missing. He knew what he couldn’t fix that night. Everyone had been so busy in that first year that there wasn’t a chance for friends. He was the Fire Lord and was busy, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t take some time away from the world’s affairs for someone who gave him his world. Even as the meal ended and they retired for the night, he began plotting. It wouldn’t be easy. No, compared to his normal responsibilities, the plan that rapidly formed that night was doomed without the most meticulous preparations. Luckily he knew just the person to contact and swore on his honor that he’d write a letter to Sokka the next morning. Early? Yes. Without reason? No. Even starting this soon he knew it was likely that everything may only line up more than a year from now. He hoped Katara was patient. He’d try.

It's the Sims Anon from awhile back, we keep checking your blog for updates and giggled a bit at poor Mechi and his ugly sweater. Thanks for brightening our day by drawing the two boys. XD

I'm glad you liked the ugly sweaters more than Mechi did! 😆

Have some Christmas t-shirts (they are in a desert, after all) and XiaoLiang being his weird self. He's got both the bisexual and the polyamorous traits, and he's always sad because he's not in a relationship.

I like to imagine he's probably got a bit of a crush on the Jones boys (who doesn't? I know I do) and would seize the opportunity to twist Christmas traditions in his favour.

Howdy Holidays, y'all! 🤠❤️🎄

"That would be such an honor."

As they left the theater arm in arm, Susannah elaborated a little further on her feelings regarding the idea, saying, "I don't see people wearing my work very often, but when I do, when I see them wearing my hats and bonnets out in town...there's nothing like it. It gives me a-a sorta...a feeling of pride, I guess you'd say. A job well done."

Of course, no one knew the name of the maker of the hat; all who made them were anonymous. Those who shopped and bought from the haberdashery usually just cheerfully told their friends, "Oh, I got it from Mickey's!" giving no thought to the people who really made them. But even so, when Susannah saw her work out in the park, people donning her top hats and sunhats and the like, and to see others compliment her handiwork without knowing it was hers...it put a little smile on her face.

"I know they don't know it's mine, but...it still feels good, knowing they're so happy with it," she smiled softly, cheeks pink as exited back out onto the street. "So to think about people seeing my work on a stage night after night and loving it, admiring it, actually knowing that it's mine? It...it would be nothing short of an honor to me."

Whew ok chalk art achieved!!!

All of my muscles hurt but it was so worth it look at him!! First time I have ever drawn Gale and I think he turned out really well!

At least ten people walking past called him Jesus it was beautiful. One guy came up to it, shouted "GALE!!!!" And then got embarrassed and ran away.

Feeling daring. I've toggled off the custom HTML/CSS and I'm going to see how long it takes before that pisses me off.

Candy Surprise is hosting a cabaret game show for Melt

Brisbane drag star Candy Surprise is hosting her very own cabaret game show this weekend for Melt.

Melt Festival is Brisbane’s citywide celebration of LGBTQIA+ artists and allies. The 2024 festival runs for until November 10 with a huge program.

This year, Melt has expanded to numerous venues across Brisbane. From this weekend, Candy Surprise is taking over the intimate PIP Theatre in Milton for her new Cabaret Game Show as part of the festival.

Inspired by TV game shows like Taskmaster, Candy’s stage show packed with humour, music and lots of games requiring audience participation.

“The PIP Theatre is a tiny little theatre but it’s so beautiful,” Candy explained to 4ZZZ.

“We’re doing two shows. Everybody loves to watch me have a few songs but I also like to have fun with the audience.

“We’re going to get the audience to be part of the fun and get them up and playing about five or six games in each show. We’re going to jam-pack it full of games.”

Candy Surprise hosts the brilliant Balls Out Bingo

As well as Candy’s Melt show, the cabaret star and hilarious drag hostess is renowned in Queensland for her Balls Out Bingo events.

Candy Surprise tours the interactive and unpredictable events around the south-east, from the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane to the Gold Coast and northern New South Wales. If you’ve never been to one, do yourself a favour.

Speaking to 4ZZZ, Candy said the sexy annual Balls Out Bingo 2025 pin-up calendar has been shot and will be released soon.

Each year, a dozen of the hunky Balls Out Bingo “ball boys” who assist Candy during the game strip off and pose for the annual calendar to raise funds for local LGBTQIA+ groups.

Candy Surprise’s Cabaret Game Show is on Sunday, November 3 from 6pm and November 10 from 4.30pm at the PIP Theatre in Milton. Tickets on sale now.
