Contempo

Every year a group of members from the Art Gallery of NSW called Contempo puts on a Christmas party, which has been touted by various friends of mine as the "best party of the year". So we thought we'd trot along this year to check out that claim.

I must admit, it was a damn good party. Heaps of people in dress-up, human statues, art everywhere, eclectic bands (a gypsey mob, a 4 piece all female brass band), various comedy and burlesque performers, top champagne and good food - it was all happening.

The theme was "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" so of course we had to dress up.
