If Carla from Bankstown is not yet on your radar, she’s about to be. The blonde bombshell (and sometimes fiery redhead), who rose to social stardom as Gladys Berejiklian’s (pretend) straight-talking personal assistant, is packing up her make-up case and bringing her signature pink smoky eye and sassy self to make her Gold Coast debut for Supercharged Drag Spectacular. Never the wallflower, Carla is guaranteed to bring the energy and good vibes for an evening of utter hilarity and raucous revelry. To ensure guests are looking and feeling fab-u-lous, Lizzo style, the M.A.C. glam squad will be on hand creating masterful glow-up makeovers that are the exact opposite of the ‘less is more’ philosophy.

Want more? You got it! Guests will enjoy a signature ‘Slaytrium Bar’ cocktail on arrival followed by two glorious hours of bubbles, wine of the red and white varieties, beers and soft drinks, while you munch on all-you-can-eat antipasto, deliciously naughty beef sliders and rainbow slaw, mini tuna poke bowls and sushi. To finish, there will be mini panna cotta desserts dripping in 100s and 1000s. Fans of Drag Race Down Under (who isn’t?) will be pleased to know that the ‘Slaytrium’ will also be live-streaming the latest and greatest moments from season two. If you need to break free from winter’s beige grasp, head to The Star’s website to nab your Supercharged Drag Spectacular ticket or check out Carla From Bankstown here.
