Old tired Drag acts

When I buy Roses chocolates, I always savour and save the strawberry ones till last.

I've had this pic for about three years, hidden away in my underground vault (thanks Richard!). It was time for a good airing.

This is our lovely Mayor, Kevin Byrne, all dollied up as Dame Edna. I believe that's radio jock John Piva on Kev's arm, but I would welcome reader's feedback.

The function was one of those annual Chamber of Commerce luncheons, when Kev attempts to make a good laugh for the audience, usually at his own expense. Sometimes it works. Other times he picks a recently deceased world leader like Yasser Arafat, and it goes horribly wrong, and in really bad taste.

When Andrew Grittiths orchestrates and advises Kevin, it's usually a treat for the audience. The fact that our Mayor has the ability to laugh at himself, not only saves us some time, it's shows us he can be a good sport.

By the way, we should say a big hello to all those CairnsBlog virgins, that got lured here this weekend by our $250 Cairns Post advert. Hope it shamelessly did the trick to get us more readers.

So, herewith we present the return of our infamous Caption Contest.

Please remember the rules: You can be as funny as you like, so long as it's not derogatory. Com'm Paul, Terry and Denis, I know you're reading this. We expect some funny comments from you lads.

As always, I'll start the ball rolling...

  1. "Haha, if I look more like Val, I just might get her votes too."
  2. "Amanda never looked better after that facial and Vichy."
  3. "Who says I look like Bryan Law, four years on?"
  4. "Hurry up with that photo, we're off to see a queen."
  5. "Yeah, I do shave under my arms, it's a metro-sexual thing."
  6. ....your turn.....

Be kind fellow citizens .. This is the first image that I have ever seen of Kevin where he appears to be truly happy, calm and relaxed .. Lascivious little minx that he is.
