The Star’s Supercharged Drag Spectacular hosted by Carla from Bankstown

WORDS: Kate Healy PHOTOGRAPHY Jacob Larsen

From Bankstown to Broadbeach – Australia’s favourite entrepreneurial drag queen, Carla from Bankstown turned The Star Gold Coast’s Atrium Bar into ‘Slaytrium Bar’ for a one-day-only Supercharged Drag Spectacular on Saturday 13 August from 3:00 to 6:00pm.

Marking the social media star and Celebrity Apprentice Australia contestant’s first official show on the Gold Coast, The Star Gold Coast’s Supercharged Drag Spectacular saw Carla add some razzle dazzle to the usual Saturday afternoon at Atrium with a lineup of frivolously fabulous performances from a host of her local drag friends – including current RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under contestants, Molly Poppinz and Pomara Fifth.

The perfect opportunity to dust off your party pants, the ticketed soiree pulled out all the stops with a glow-up station courtesy of the M.A.C. glam squad to get glitterfied, a disco-filled dancefloor to bust a move amongst the queens and plenty of glitzy Insta-worthy scenery.

While they strutted and sashayed across the bar, revelers indulged in a decadent grazing style menu including all-you-can-eat antipasto, deliciously naughty beef sliders and divine mini panna cotta (covered in 100s and 1000s, of course). There was also a complimentary colourful cocktail on arrival to get the party started, and a two-hour beverage package featuring non-stop sparkling, wines and premium beer.
