The FAQ Awards - Fashion in Alternative Queensland
8:00PM - 2:00PM :: The Festival Club
Cost: $4 / $5 / SOOB season ticket
So many people make their own clothes and have their own wicked style, which is far cooler than the banal fashions of the RAQ fashion awards. Finally, Brisbane's alternative fashionistas have a chance to express their kooky take on fashion in their own glittering night of nights- The Fashion in Alternative Queensland Awards or FAQs (pronounced Fark-Yous).

Design Categories:

• Food
• Before 3000BC
• Beyond 3000AD
• Urban Myths
• Queensland Goths
• McGyver.

  Finalists in each category will then vie to win the supreme award- the coveted Taffeta Cannonball Award.
  Hosted by Toxic Lipstick, Rock Bottom and Trash Icon who will take the evening to a ridiculous new level of sublime decadence. Hot tunes will also be cranked by Eight Bit Kate, Axl F and Amandeep Dhillon. The FAQs also feature their own pumped up and lycra clad dance troop- The Death to Electroclash Dancers.
  If you want to participate email or call 0403 793 916 / 0401 653 774.
