PROJECT RUN-AWAY 2009
JANUARY 31, 2009
PHILIP ISLAND
Philip Island is around two to three hours travel from Melbourne. The island is known for the bike/car racing and of course the Penguins. I have not been to the island before so it was a thing to look forward to. We traveled by car (full of costumes and drag outfits), and with GPS, it was easy peasy ride ...
TRAVEL AND PREPARATIONS PHOTOS
Most of the contestants and their co-horts are coming from Melbourne. Around two to three hours travel by car or by train and boat, the trek to Philip Island was an event in itself.
Thanks to Facebook - I have gathered these photos from various contestants and their friends....
Who came by public train and the caught the boat to the island ...
Mahendra and her friend on the boat to PI.
Tia Maria and Little Kit with Anthony's boyfriend ... they were the first to arrive in the provided accomodation for the contestants ....

.... which was really like this. I made a drawing below so you can imagine how unique the stage and rampway is. It is really a huge venue and walking through that pathway with gravel would really be challenging if not dangerous ... especially if you are wearing stilletoes. Gabby (the organizer) assured us though that the gravel pathway will be covered with red carpet during the night to make it possible for us to walk down this ramp ... and climb back again !!!!
EARLY BIRDS
The show was supposed to start at 8:30. So the candidates have to start preparing themselves at around 4 pm. Shaving here and there ... and all sort of stuff !!!
This guy is our emcee for the pageant ... also having a good time !!!
NEXT : THE DRAG CONTESTANTS ...
