Absolut Halloween Rock Royalty and Ruin
Extravagant parties are back. And ABSOLUT is the first to prove it.
To launch ABSOLUT Rock edition everything conservative was thrown out of the window. Party ringmaster Mark Cavanagh (Cav Con) orchestrated an eclectic guest list to turn up in rock and ruin halloween costumes at a secret Sydney location (which turned out to be the laneway behind State Theatre).
Bowie Wong showed us some Kill Bill moves, Brad Ngata pulled a Prince and Konstantina Mittas blew a perfect KISS. Darth Maul, Marilyn Manson, Marie-Antoinette and one too many Amy's seeking rehab were amongst the crowd. It was also hard to miss one very cheeky Gingerbread Man.
An unrelentless supply of Absolut Vodka cocktails (a new one every hour) encouraged some to turn un-natural. And whether it was the impeccable manners of friendly wait staff or the moreish yet perfectly bite-size canapes - we couldn't resist.
Half English, half Spanish, all theatrical Paloma Faith entertained, along with an uncannily accurate Taro reader called Ruth, a lady contortionist and Phantom of the Opera (very content playing his piano just outside the ladies washroom).
ps. The ABSOLUT vodka rock edition is a limited edition series; a black leather studdend 'second skin' which encases a 700ml bottle of classic ABSOLUT Vodka. A collaboration bringing togehter visionary rock and roll photographer Danny Clinch and Australian rock outfit Wolfmother.
