The TIKI TABOO, at SUGARTIME cabaret club 34b Oxford Street, Darlinghurst SYDNEY on 5th MAY is a unique event showcasing polynesian burlesque. Indeed, the likes of Sydney's own BELLADONNAS DE LUX will perform as will THE ALABASTAR GIRLS. All this plus much more in the plush surrounds of a 1940s cabaret club. Special guests on the night will be Australia's leading tiki carver MARCUS THORNE from TIKI BEAT (Brisbane) who SUGARTIME are flying down for the event. He will be doing a live tiki carving out of Aussie coco-palm on stage, joined by the son of Australia's famous velvet painter BARON VON WEIRDO who will be jetting down from Tweed Heads to paint a portrait of a live POLYNESIAN MODEL on stage.
